Darkona Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi all, I tried compiling this for 1.2 and got it mostly working again, plugin-wise. I don't know what I'm doing half the time, because some methods disappeared from some classes in the 1.2 API and I have no idea where to look for them. However, I noticed there are relatively few things to work in to update this mod. If someone with more experience than me could take a look and, let's say, make a pull request (I won't since I don't know what I'm doing) it should be somewhat quick.

Freshmeat Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) So, @IgorZ is rewriting the code behind KAS to a new system. Maybe put this a bit on hold until KAS is stable once more? Edited October 22, 2016 by Freshmeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were going to wait for DMagic (can't tag on mobile...) to finish the new plugin stuff before making a 1.2 release; didn't make sense to let people run off to play now and then break their saves. If you don't care about that, then i believe all the dependencies are updated for the old DMSA version. 32 minutes ago, Freshmeat said: So, @IgorZ is rewriting the code behind KAS to a new system. Maybe put this a bit on hold until KAS is stable once more? I'll have to look into that and see what impact it will have. Either way, finishing the new experiments I shared some months ago is coming up to be a priority for me soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhedd Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Yeah, please don't put anything on hold unless you MUST. I was so happy when I saw this mod come out, but I never really got a chance to use it on any important missions before KSP updated and it was outdated again.

storm6436 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Oddly enough, what brought me to this post was DMagic's post. I was lurking about updating all my mods the day after 1.2 dropped and couldn't remember which mod a set of folders were other than something DMagic did... found their post in this thread and went "SQUEE!!" since I'd never heard of it before and it covers one of the topics I poked DMagic over months (years?) ago. Made my day, in fact. As I just said in the KCT dev thread, I wish I had more coding experience, then I could offer to help and feel like I'd actually be helping and not holding people back. Hell, I wish I'd won the lottery then I could have enough time to figure all this stuff out. Seriously, great idea folks. I hope this mod keeps going places.

Well, there's no real point in releasing a 1.2 compatible version of the old system which used a generic version of his science animation plugin - the new dedicated plugin is close enough to being done that it would probably just break people's saves if they manage to deploy one before the update. @DMagic sent me some very exciting updates regarding it, with a lot of GUI improvements. Again, no dates or anything but he sounded like he was mostly polishing and cleaning it up at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshmeat Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I am looking very much forward to see what @DMagic comes up with. I am still finishing my 1.1.3 missions before migrating, and the science from his beta tickles in while the probes head for different planets. Initially I found the amount of science a bit on the low side, but now the long duration missions are going, I can see that higher amounts would unbalance the game immensely. Still looking for a good 2 Kerbal lander that will not kill my system (looking at you, ALCOR) for proper deployment of the packages, though. My 2 x mk1 lander is serviceable, but just not that satisfying aesthetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhedd Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) @CobaltWolf Not to derail the thread, but the BDB LEM is a thing of wonder and beauty. No more cobbling together my own LEMs from hundreds of parts from thirty different mods! Now if I only had some 1.21 compatible ALSEP parts to go along with it. >_> Edited November 2, 2016 by Rhedd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, DMagic has been developing a custom plugin for SEP - NOT based on his ModuleScienceAnimate. Look through the preceding pages, I think there's some screenshots / more info. For my part, I looked at the current parts in Unity and made some tweaks to their colliders to hopefully make them better. I didn't have time to test them tho - OneDrive decided the best way to sync my KSP install (I have a 1tb student account that I work off of, since I switch between desktop and laptop daily) was to delete everything from the non-SEP folders first, then crash...

It wasn't anything that hadn't been uploaded to Github already for my own mods. I'm not sure how much more I'll need to do to get it back. It has been getting worse and worse for me.

If it is OneDrive for Business, as student accounts often are, you need to clear your OneDrive cache. I used to have a link, but it has moved. Will check back on it in a couple of hours. I do a bit of IT support for my students and have learned some tricks along the way, and need to sync three pc's and a Mac.
