doxie Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Ah, so can I jump in with I can't transmit any data with remote tech? Clean upgrade and installed with ckan, I am also running Science Alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komodo Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Away from the computer at the moment, so logs are inaccessible ( ) but I noticed something of potential use: I was able to transmit science very well, as long as I was using the technology perk antenna: as soon as I got out of range of it, I was no longer able to. (No comms device available, etc)When I'm able, I'll try to get some logs, but Ksp time lately has been... Sporadic. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss8913 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Mine is acting like it works. it gets to 100% and then I just don't get the science. Log is above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarraya Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I was able to transmit science on a dish, but not on an omni antenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingii Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi there! Just installed this mod and I get part but don't get any functionality. I dont have any lines/dots/buttons on map, when I am right-clicking on antenna I can do nothing with it, cuz it's "Locked". What should I do to fix it?

PCanas Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 If you're trying to use it with a probe, you either start with the antena deployed, or you use an antena that is always on. With this mod, everything not manned requires a constant link to the space center in order to do [b]anything[/b] (yes, even right clicking). I'm not sure, but I think probes don't connect by themselves, so you need an antena to do it. Parabolic antenas can be turned on/off, but I think there's a small one that's always on, so try to attach it to your vessel and see if it works. If it doesn't, there's probably something missing in the installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss8913 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I've tried it with the communotron 88 dish, the DTS comm array, and the omni antennas, with the same results on all three. perhaps there are some antennas that work, but these types that I'm mentioning worked before 1.0.5 :) as did all of the ones I tried, before...

You will find some manuals in the forum about that as it is to many to explain. Once you have done that and it is working - you got the basics and can proceed with launching sats to other planets - or expanding your kerbin network for mun & minmus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowofDawn Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Do you really need your network to be keosynch? I just launched a ring of satellites about 2000km out and made sure I had enough with proper spacing that one was always in line of sight with mission control. Four in an approximately square pattern seemed to work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's helpful for being the first satellite. And of course you don't have to - I personally always put 4 satellites in a batch with a single manned mission, and they are put on a semi-major axis 2Mm circular orbit, and works totally fine as yours.

Jovus Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 In fact, geosynchronous orbit is a bad solution, since your LKO sats won't be able to reach your KEO sats with a single Communotron 16 by default. But it looks pretty, is easy to define, and feels like an accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreakyCheeseMan Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I noticed today that science isn't transferring from my mobile lab modules. It says it is - it'll run through the percentages and announce "Done" - but I get no additional science, and the lab still has as much built up as it did before. Any ideas?

This has the dual effect of providing the control link to KSC as well as providing a relay to everything in range of the DTS-M1, which includes DP-10's on the surface. The cone reaches out far enough to cover an orbital altitude of about 750Km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyverus Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Has there been a release/update for remote tech? I'm having the same problem where I tell things to transmit and nothing happens. The report/science/samples are removed but nothing is transferred and i can promptly do the science again. Big fan of the mod but as above, this seems to happen with anything i try and transmit be it from the processing lab, mun, orbit and doesnt matter the type of data. I've gone through the checklist of making sure i have power & a good connection but nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FancyMouse Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 OK I think I finally found out what's the problem - it seems like due to the support for aborted transmission and returning back data, those piece of code has been refactored, and one new event is introduced called GameEvents.OnTriggeredDataTransmission. This event calls the lab/surveyor complete method to finish up the transmission, including adding science. Since it's newly added in 1.0.5, 1.0.4 code will certainly break as is. So I just added [CODE] GameEvents.OnTriggeredDataTransmission.Fire(scienceData); [/CODE] Along with a hack to fix NRE, it seems working now. [URL="https://www.dropbox.com/s/j7rnm3n2l8k2iqt/RemoteTech.zip?dl=0"]zip[/URL] includes my compiled dll and changed ModuleRTDataTransmitter.cs. Take it as you wish. Don't take it as official version or whatsoever - I'm not familiar with either KSP code base or RT code base. All I did is hacking here and there to make it work for myself.

Pronoes Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Strange issue and not sure where it belongs exactly. It could very well be my mish mash of mods and tinkering around with stuff but in case it's not and someone says "oh, I had exactly that issue and did this to fix..." Gemini Antenna from FASA pack. RO/RSS usual shenanigans. Remote Tech etc It states 200mm - which is 200,000 km to me and you. Plenty of range for a geostationary orbit. Created probe with multiple antenna. Launched - connected to KSC in geostationary with TV antenna - happy days. TV antenna wasn't placed for connecting to KSC, it was a temporary fix, so I activated Gemini Antenna, connected to KSC - all works fine. Then I deactivated TV antenna and suddenly I have no connection. I rechecked distances and then launched another probe - same thing happened. Gemini will not connect to KSC at that range. Here's the bit that tickles me. I installed HyperEdit to do some testing. I don't specifically know the exact range of connectivity from a switched off position but... Above 25,000km, Gemini Antenna won't connect to KSC. I mean it will and it says everything is fine, but once you switch off another antenna connected to KSC, the Gemini dies. However - if you're close to KSC, I think I was around 500km, then I can connect the Gemini to KSC, switch off the other antenna and the Gemini will remain connected. It will also remain connected all the way out to geostationary range, providing you keep it on. Range isn't an issue as per above. Switching on / off isn't an issue because Gemini connects to other probes and holds its connection even when other antennas are switched off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
