[0.25] [x] Science! v4.0 (2014-10-24) [Old thread]

[Bodrick]

Found it! I can reproduce it if I'm in a sandbox game. I'll fix it and push a patch soon

[Bodrick]

Sorry for the double post, but v1.1 is now available to download.

Changelog:

1.1
---
* Mod now correctly disables itself in Sandbox mode (stops the VAB lockup bug)
* Can now use the | symbol to do OR searches e.g. "goo Mun|Minmus"
* Optimized experiment list rendering
* Will automatically detect OrbitalScience if installed, and add its experiments to the list
* Biomes are now displayed in the experiment list correctly
* Fixed some experiments not appearing in the list if they took biomes into account
* Fixed "while landed at sun" experiments appearing in the list
* Fixed science levels not taking game difficulty settings into account

Enjoy!

I can confirm Gaugeforever VAB problem with only this mod installed.

All parts get stuck frozen in the air.

[Tahib]

Ok, have to backpedal a bit. Nice you got the same idea and just started to make it on your own. When i wrote my comment, i just came back from Banished forums - 5 different modders all have their own german translation mod and noone even tries to work together. I was concerned about a similiar situation in ksp community. Oh, and i will try out your approach, maybe its better for me too

[Ruedii]

I ran into a bug. This mod causes crashes in VAB/SPH when running Linux in sandbox mode.

[Bodrick]

Do you have version 1.1 installed? That was a bug in v1.0 that should have been fixed in v1.1.

[Tahib]

I have significant performance issues with xScience (freezes in vab every x seconds, freezes at descend, 10 part rocket). It was in the last batch of addons I installed. Then I uninstalled them piece by piece, tried to nail the problem to a specific one. I know about the F12 debug log, but never used it. It seems that when loading VAB from main menu, xScience interferes with Squad's Building Code, many yellow lines.

Log file:output_log.txt

edit: oh and i'm playing career mode

Thanks for the log file - sorry to hear you're having problems

Most of the time you don't need be worried about yellow lines in that log file - red is the bad colour there! However, I can see why you could be having problems here. I've already fixed one memory leak when the experiment window is open - and in addition, your log file shows that the mod seems to be getting loaded many times instead of just once. I'll look into it this evening for you

[mhoram]

Looks like a nice mod.

Have you had a look at ScienceAlert? It's a bit outdated but it had a featurerich configuration menu.

[Tahib]

Nice

You were right, i like the UI more than ScienceLibrary, plus its outdated (no live tracking of UniversalStorage Experiments). There's now only one thing left i'm missing in xScience: a hot list, which experiments on ship are available currently.

Picture explains what i'm trying to suggest (Science Monitor is part of Science Library):

[Bodrick]

I'm working on that for the next version

[Tahib]

Wow, awesome. I can't wait

[Manabender]

I like the premise of this mod, but there's one big problem...

It's showing experiments that are impossible to perform. I would have taken a screenshot, but the one three posts up actually shows the problem; the bottom entries are things like "Crew Report while splashed down at Kerbin's Mountains". Last I checked, mountains aren't made of liquid.

I'm also seeing listings of experiments performed at Launch Pad, Runway, and KSC, that don't involve being landed. I'm 99% sure that, for example, a crew report while flying over the launch pad becomes a crew report while flying over Kerbin's shores.

[Mystique]

For some weird reason mod's window suddenly changed size and became like 1/4 of normal, which doesn't even display all text it's supposed to. I can't figure out how to resize it (strangely enough it happened before with other mod for action group management, so maybe problem isn't exactly related to Science!), any advices maybe?

Update: nevermind, it fixed itself after restart.

There are lakes and rivers in pretty much all of the Kerbin biomes that you can splash down in (the only one I'm not 100% sure about is the Mountain biome).

You're right about the KSC biomes - the method I'm using to get them at the moment isn't ideal. I just found a better way of getting the available biomes, so in the next version this will be fixed (as well as adding all the other surface biomes around KSC)

[Tahib]

Rivers?? Ok there seem to be some: http://www.kerbalmaps.com/

[Bodrick]

Sneak peek for the next version

Just need to sort out some tooltips, move the biome indicator a bit, and fix another memory leak

Additionally - lakes in mountains confirmed:

You're fast!

[alter5]

hurry up cant wait

[nightingale]

Looking great, can't wait to use the new version!

[Bodrick]

v2.0 is out!

Changelog:

2.0
---
* Implemented current situation detection and filter.
* Added tooltips to buttons
* Completed experiment progress bars are now rendered in a different colour.
* Replaced text on filter buttons with icons.
* Fixed several memory leaks.
* Fixed addon being loaded multiple times

Enjoy

[Hupherius]

Is this compatible with CustomBiomes by Trueborn?

[Bodrick]

I just gave it a try - looks like the biome detector shows them correctly, but the experiments for those biomes don't show up in the list. I'll take a look at that for the next version.

[UAL002]

Dont forget an option to filter known biomes. And I would change the experiment filter from unlocked to known meaning you have to do at least 1 experiment with the equipment for it to show in the list. And same for the biome. Just my two cents.

[nightingale]

Getting some inconsistent results for the x/y complete, green/blue bars and the green text for "done" science. Seems to all be related to rounding error, where there is still some non-useful amount of science to be had (thanks KSP, do I *really* need to go out to get that surface sample for 0.01 science?).
