Drastyy Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hi, when I´m playing and want to scan for resources, progresion completed but the done message doeasn´t show and the resource map neither. I read in internet that this could be for science alarm mod or remotetech mod. Is this true? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suicidejunkie Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Rlin; you can send a kerbal up, EVA and right click the antenna to say 'force open' and adjust it manually. Or you could turn off remotetech temporarily, make sure all the antennas from your old save are deployed, and then install remotetech. Or, you could also go into the remotetech settings and set the range multiplier to 1E+99; if you've got it, the probe cores with built in 3km omni should be able to reach KSC so you can tell them to deploy their main antenna (then switch the multiplier back of course) Drastyy; fastest way is to try it (remove science alarm temporarily and see if things work), but Yes is the answer from what I've read. There is also a patch for the science lab transmissions which may be related a couple pages up the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty of probes, so I'll need plenty of service missions (because my rockets don't have enough dV to do it all in one mission). I'm happy to know how to operate the RCS pack. Edit: I am installing this mod for sure! Edited January 11, 2016 by rlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfAngriff Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 @Stone Blue, i've made the .cfg patch. If i understand, this patch shall be within the parts' folder. I've tried, but it doesn't work, something's wrong with what i've done. I've made a copy of another patch, from another compatable pack, and renamed, changed the numbers to match the ones of the antenna i'd like to play with, respected the typo... I've started a new savegame, nothing. Before bothering someone with sending the file, i've noticed that the antennas in RSR are in the "utility" folder instead of the "science" folder. Category in the .cfg file is "science". Could it be the cause ? Thanx if you or someone else would be patient enough to help me. I realy want to give a little thing to this wonderful parts pack, and perhaps, later, give a little help to players and, why not ? to modders. I don't have enough money to donate, and i've spent so many wonderful hours with so many mods in so many games... I'd realy like to give something back, at least with my brain and my good will...

Stone Blue Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) @WolfAngriff First, it doesnt really matter where the patch goes, as long as it is in /Gamedata, or a subfolder there-in... You dont have to change anything in the part.cfg... You make a NEW .cfg... You dont put anything from the part.cfg in it...It only needs to have a few lines of code, to specify MODULE changes/additions to use on the part...I only have a basic, limited understanding of Module Manager syntax, so i usually copy & paste from someone else's work... Hopefully someone with a better knowledge of MM will chime in with specifics. Out of curiosity, what "patch" did you copy? You might get help if you ask for someone to help you, or to write an RT patch for the two antennas, in the Rusty Star thread... I would think, if enough people ask, the mod author should probably supply in the mod, to make it "out-of-the-box" RT compatable...

sirreality Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Adding my two cents to the pile that my resource scanner does not work even with the FancyMouse fix. Do not have Science Alert installed. Also, it appears that the mod has not been active since the middle of November on the forum, which is a little concerning for future development and bug fixing.

gamerscircle Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 RemoteTech Noob questions incoming: I have a very forgiving configured version of RT installed. I have RemoteTech XF and the following .cfg settings - RangeMultiplier = 0.5 EnableSignalDelay = False RangeModelType = Additive In my current career the: Reflectron KR-14 dish range: 0.00m / 30.00Gm Comms DTS-M1 range: 0.00m / 25.00Mm Communotron 32 range: 0.00m / 2.50Mm I have setup [again thanks to the KSP community] a 3 satellite Synchronous in both Kerbin and Minmus using the following information. Kerbin: Synchronous orbit of 2863.33 km with each [3 total] satellites Sidereal rotation period very close to 5 h 59 m 9.4 s Minmus: Synchronous orbit of 357.94 km with each [3 total] satellites Sidereal rotation period so very very close to 1 d 5 h 13 m 20 s No, I have a basic understanding of all that and that the satellites are in the same orbit and keep the same distance from one another, providing the best possible coverage. Each satellite has: KR-14x2, DTS-M1x2 and a single Communotron 32 [image below]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8bgPP0DpwZecy15eGN2UUdqN0E/view?usp=sharing In both Kerbin and Minmus, the 'relays' are talking to one another, but I cannot seem to figure out how to maintain a link from Kerbin to Minmus. I have tried: Point all 3 kerbin sats' KR14' towards minmus and all 3 minmus sats' KR14' towards kerbin and I don't get a connection, Yes - I know that my satellites are waaaaay over engineered [only been playing KSP for 3 months] and I most likely did something wrong on how to get the connection between the two going. Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix the link issue? thank you and please understand that I am trying to get the science part of this, but at the same time i am a casual gamer trying to enjoy the game. thank you again.

Joco223 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Can i use RSS config for RT in 64k? It's really hard to launch first few sattelites with only KSC being the only spot that you can connec to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should use DTS-M1 (45o angle) for Minmus/Mun-Kerbin communication (both ways). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerscircle Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) @charfa Thank you for the reply, what would you suggest for an eve to kerbin? In regards to the DTS-M1, the range isn't enough to reach, will that still work? Edited January 12, 2016 by gamerscircle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have no knowledge about how it works with real fuels but with stock the flight computer starts the burn only once per node. Is there some bug eating the ignitions? //Edit So the problem is the fact you need to give the ship a push before igniting the main engine? Edited January 15, 2016 by Varsi Figuring things out!

Currently, the only possible way is to add some solid ullage motors and then to tell Flight Computer to activate them prior to the main engine ignition. The next version of RT will add the ability to schedule propulsive nodes that can use the RCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tfin Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 GAH! I thought I had this down. I have three satellites in orbit of Kerbin, each with a Communotron 16 and a DTS-M1 (which shouldn't figure into this, they are set to target active vessel). I had the network stable at .75Mm (750,000m) and wanted to move it out closer to, but still WELL WITHIN, the C.16's 2.5Mm range. So I did the math, and found that my triangle could move out to 1.4Mm. To be safe, I stopped at 1.2Mm, with everything moving out at the same time to keep in formation, and... everything lost comms except the one in range of KSC. Where did I go wrong?

My guess is you forgot that 1.4Mm limit is from Kerbin center, but the altitude shown in game is above sea level, so your max altitude is 800km. Did I guess right?

gamerscircle Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The Return of RemoteTech Noob PT. 2 I all, I caught the thread where folks were talking about the bug with RT and the Science Labs [unable to transmit science] and that there was a modified .dll , when I downloaded, tested and it works! So, why the forum post? I am glad that someone asked, my 'hand held aka very forgiving' version of RT, I have the ability to manipulate the probes that are not connected, with this new .dll, it changes that. So, I can either not be able to send science from the labs and be able to re-task probes that are 'not talking' or the reverse, is there something that I might be able to do, so that I can have both? Oh, if this was already talked about and covered, sorry - I just started using RT about 2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
