JeffreyCor Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Does this have a conflict with EVE? I'm not seeing any mission way points on the map and have a suspicion it may be a conflict between EVE and they way this mod places points on the map view.

You have old contracts from a previous version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyCor Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 No. Read the thread. You have old contracts from a previous version.No, I removed all old contracts currently accepted and deleted the folder before installing the new version. I did read the threat and do a search before posting. Never assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did read the threat and do a search before posting. Never assume.Deleting the mod will not help, as the contracts are in your save game persistence file. Getting rid of active contracts will not help either, as the board is a persistent object. You need to clear the board, which will wipe your save of any generated contracts, and regenerate using the new version. Alt-F12->Contracts->Tools->Clear.

Burkitt Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 How are people managing the flight survey missions? I've never seen one that was on the same continent so i'm assuming some kind of hypersonic SSTO?Pretty much as you guessed - I used a plane with three turbojet engines, about 450 units of fuel, and plenty of intakes. It can make suborbital hops up to around 75,000m that cover about 1/5th of Kerbins circumference at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabzoue59 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Is it normal if i only have survey mission ? i made a custom tree, and unlocked some engine like LV, when I open debug windows to generate other contract i have this : [Error]: Contract of type 'PartTest' was not be generated.

If you are getting PartTest errors then whatever mod you are using to edit the tree is conflicting with stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabzoue59 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 @Arsonide Yep, I use KW rocketry, Spaceplane plus, KSPI, Near futur prop, firespitter, KAS, MKS/OKS, for big mod which add lot of parts. i integrate them to the milestone realistic tree with my own logic of research.Then i downloaded this mod, and didn't get any others contracts anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mod would throw errors if it was having issues with your research tree that would be visible in the log.I gave it some thought, and I've decided that I am not going to auto regenerate missions after each patch. Doing this could mess up a contract that someone is already working on and is somewhat invasive. Rather, I am going to post instructions in bold text in the original post and in the readme on how to regenerate your mission board, so that people can do it on their own. This gives them the freedom to do it when they are ready, as not every patch will have sweeping changes to missions like this one did.

Tommygun Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 If I upgrade from 0.51a to 0.0.52a in the middle of a career mode game will it reset all the contracts?For example, I finished exploring the Mun, so will that Mun contract have to be completed again before getting the Duna contract?

Shad0wCatcher Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 RPL Tweak Pack / Realistic Progression Lite and KSPI both have custom trees. RPL changes science amounts by a ton as well as changing names / locations of techs. KSPI just adds new nodes. I can just about guarantee RPL is the culprit here.

rabzoue59 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 In fact, I didnt saw any error on the main KSC view menu, i've got this error only when i want to add contract by myself to test it. okey i will perform some test, and i'll get back here to tell you mates, when contracts get broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearing the board does not clear your existing progress at all, it just wipes the board and any active contracts clean and regenerates them, which after a patch means they will have updated values.In fact, I didnt saw any error on the main KSC view menu, i've got this error only when i want to add contract by myself to test it. okey i will perform some test, and i'll get back here to tell you mates, when contracts get broken You will see Fine Print in the debug log if it is having issues, I labeled it so you'd know which mod it was coming from. If you see that, by all means report it, if not, this is probably an issue with another mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're on the map but nothing is on my navball besides the prograde/retrograde markers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're on the map but nothing is on my navball besides the prograde/retrograde markers.I've had this happen, too. I think that what might be going on is that if you have put the NavBall away in Map Mode when you click on the survey nav points, then you don't get anything on your navball in staging mode. But I seem to be able to get it to work if you bring up the ball in Map Mode and then click on a few nav points before going to the one that you need. Try this and let me know if you get it to work, or if I'm on the wrong track with trying to find a workaround . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaOlm Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I've encountered a rather strange issue with regards to the asteroid recovery missions. I accepted two contracts to drag an asteroid into Kerbin's orbit, and after doing to proceeded to begin tracking a roid I thought was suitable, and waited for it to enter Kerbin's SOI so I could intercept it and give it a gentle nudge into a terrible orbit. After doing so, I noticed that the contract tracker wasn't registering me as having an asteroid in tow.As far as I can tell, you need to intercept it before it enters Kerbin's SOI before it registers as being in tow? If so, that is a little bit strange I think, as the easiest and least delta-v intensive way to grab these things is when they pass near Kerbin naturally, barring those balls of rock you want to transfer to other planets.

colmo Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 This contract made me laugh - it's the plot from Sunshine, or close to it. I'm thinking Trojan orbit, should I ever want to either man it or get the ten Kerbals back...http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=294186004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be in a solar orbit just outside of Kerbin's sphere of influence. Also, you don't need to take ten kerbals, you just need to be able to support ten kerbals (you need ten seats on the bus).

DMagic Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Me and my buddy discussed easter egg missions, and agree they would be neat, but that they need to be in procedural locations, so that experienced players don't have an edge. We are currently working on implementing models to place in the world randomly for a mission such as this. The player would get a waypoint within say 1 or 2 kilometers of an object, and be tasked with finding that object in EVA. The object would be large enough to see at a distance.Do you know how you're actually going to implement this? If these models are PQSCity objects they'll be detectable as anomalies, which would be really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my friend is figuring out how to export to the mu model format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegrade Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Just a little note - I finally did get Rescue contracts to show up again after a bit of finagling about with the debug menu. I've started a new game as well, and they show up fine there. So it was just a minor glitch, possibly from installing partway through a career.

Also, you don't need to take ten kerbals, you just need to be able to support ten kerbals (you need ten seats on the bus).I know...it's a wonderfully Kerbal contract. I like the possibilities of your mod not being too constrained, as it may just entice some of us to take them on! We also don't have to take the contracts if we don't fancy them.We just have to be mad enough to think up new conditions. E.g. naval waypoints, all at sea, would test boat, sub or seaplane fans without being too mod-specific. Tests of extreme speed on land, sea or in atmosphere (below certain altitudes) would definitely have a following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsonide Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 The spontaneous side objectives are really what make a contract. While I like the waypoint contracts, they aren't as diverse as the base and station ones yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
