[1.10.1+] Contract Configurator [v1.30.5] [2020-10-05]

Emm were is the Function Reference Guide on the Wiki. I can't find it anywere;.; Or something replace it?
EDIT: Just find it individualy. But there's a part that still saying that that exist. You should delete that part

Thanks, it's been fixed. I'm about half-way through refactoring a bunch of stuff on the wiki, so there's still some little issues like that. Once it's all done, all the parameters will list out all the types for each attribute, and it will have a link to the appropriate expression page (see the very first attribute on VesselParameterGroup to see what it will look like when it's done).

If it still seems necessary when all is done, I'll also potentially look at a page that indexes everything.

Also I've been looking for the Spawn Vessel Behaviour on the wiki and it wasn't on the side list of behaviour. (I found it on the all pages zone) so you shold add it to the behaviour side list:D

GitHub wiki is terrible - if you edit a page inline, it'll move the file back to the root when you check it in - which breaks the sidebar indexing. I need to make sure to stop accidentially doing quick edits directly in the wiki.

Thanks for the heads up!

Not much to say about this release - bug fixes and a couple toys for contract modders. Download now!

Contract Configurator 1.5.2

Allow multiple parts to be specified in the PartValidation parameter.
Added CelestialBody.RemoteTechCoverage() method for expressions.
Added CelestialBody.Mass() and CelestialBody.RotationalPeriod() for expressions.
Added KSCLocation() function for expressions.
Enhancements to Timer parameter.
Fixed issue in BiomeTracker when uninstalling a previously installed planet pack (thanks herman and xEvilReeperx).
Fixed possible exception in VisitWaypoint (thanks AlphaAsh).
Fixed bug in PartValidation where using FILTER would prevent the parameter from completing.
Fixed ReachSpecificOrbit so it outputs the orbit details in a note (thanks FinnishGameBox).
Fixed VesselNotDestroyed firing for debris.
Minor bug fixes.

Could this be a update bug. Aircraft builder contracts don't work any more. This why there should be a debug option that forces contracts to complete. it sure would make updating a lot easier.

EDIT: Oh spooky stuff! It did clear down after quite a pause. When in VAB for a while and when I came out the mission was done. Interesting behavior but not a bug. User error caused by a lack of patience :blush: .

Ok, I'm getting sick of certain types of contracts popping up all the time (looking at you tourists!), I hear tell you can use contract configurator to just disable certain types of contract and change the max amount offered? How might I go about this?

nightingale · July 14, 2015

Have a look at this page. Grab the whole CONTRACT_CONFIGURATOR section, and copy that into a file in your GameData named "disableContracts.cfg" (or whatever you want, as long as it ends with .cfg. Remove lines for any contract types that you actually want to keep.

Bishop149 · July 14, 2015

Excellent, thanks for that.

To answer the second part of my question myself, I found the following from searching around:

This is easy
If you go into your GameData folder then /Squad/Contracts/ there will be a contracts.cfg - One of the very first options will be how many contracts you are offered (Default 10) I bumped that up to 25 myself.

nightingale · July 14, 2015

Okay the rework on the wiki is all done. Everything's been split out into separate pages, all the types are explicitly called out and there's better cross-linking between pages.

Let me know if you see any usability issues with the wiki in its current form.

This is great. Just a small report: The Data Node page still refering to the Data Type page (on the list of the Data Node page)

Thanks for that, I've fixed the link.

How can I make a contract hidden? Cannot find it on the wiki.

What do you mean by hidden? because they're ways to make a parameter hide but why to hide a contract?

Shurikeeen · July 16, 2015

I would make a auto-accepted contract to pass the Karman line and when it is completed, orbital contracts unlock.

I keep forgetting that Shurikeeen == FinnishGameBox.

Check out CONTRACT_TYPE, and search for the autoAccept attribute.

I wish I could change the name on the forum Cheers anyways

NathanKell · July 16, 2015

FinnishGameBox: PM sal_vager or KasperVld or Supernovy and ask to have your name changed. Soooper-doooper-power moderators can do that.

And thanks so much for all the work you're doing on RP-0 contracts! (And to nightingale for powering them! )

I'm trying to detect whether a vessel has a thermometer or not through an expression, but it always comes up as not having one even though I have two. Am I doing something wrong? Relevant code:

DATA

{

type = bool

hasTherm = @/targetVessel.Parts().Where(p => p == sensorThermometer).Count() > 0

}

No errors in the debug screen, but it shows FALSE instead of TRUE. Thanks in advance for any help.

    DATA

        type = Vessel
        targetVessel = AllVessels().First()
    }

    DATA
    {
        type = bool
        hasTherm = @/targetVessel.Parts().Where(p => p == sensorThermometer).Count() > 0
    }

I just threw the above into a contract, started a new save, put a pod+2 therms on the pad, forced contract generation and it had TRUE for hasTherm. So it seems to be working correctly.

What value does targetVessel have in the debug menu (aside - I'll fix it to display the proper name next release)?
Are you checking while in-game or on the main menu (the vessel won't exist on the main menu, seems obvious, but I have to ask).
Perhaps no attempts have been made to generate the contract since you put the vessel on the pad. In the Squad debug menu, go to contracts and do a "Clear Current Contracts" (maybe even a couple times). Does it work then?

Whyren · July 16, 2015

Thanks so much for going so far to look into it. Clearing the contracts multiple times seems to have kicked it into gear. For the record:

1. It used to just display the vessel name, when it started working it showed the cockpit name and the the vessel name in parenthesis.

2. I was in-game.

3. I had a vessel out and took and completed the contract many times over, but this fixed it.

- - - Updated - - -

Maybe one last question for the night? Trying to check if there is a Scientist on the vessel through an expression.

DATA

{

type = bool

hasScientist = @/targetVessel.Crew().Where(k => k.ExperienceTrait() == Scientist).Count() > 0

}

Seems almost the same as the last one, but this gets an error. "Can't parse identifier for type System.String"

It's because the ExperienceTrait is a string, and strings are handled a little bit differently in the expression language. Anyway, easy fix:

[COLOR=#333333]DATA[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]{[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]    type = bool[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]    hasScientist = @/targetVessel.Crew().Where(k => k.ExperienceTrait() == [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]"[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]Scientist[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]"[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]).Count() > 0[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]}

Whyren · July 16, 2015

I have tried just this thing and I got the error that it was not expecting to see a ". I got around errors by subbing in Kerbal(Bob Kerman).ExperienceTrait(), but that doesn't seem like the most robust way of getting the job done, since I think some mods allow for renaming Kerbals.

nightingale · July 16, 2015

You sure you had it exactly like I did? I just tried it - no errors.

EDIT: Also, just in case, make sure you're on Contract Configurator 1.5.2... I think I fixed one or two parser bugs from 1.5.1.

Edited July 16, 2015 by nightingale

Whyren · July 16, 2015

Looks like Kerbal(Bob Kerman).ExperienceTrait() fails to validate on starting up the game, though it succeeds if you reload the contract. Changed back to:

hasScientist = @/targetVessel.Crew().Where(k => k.ExperienceTrait() == "Scientist").Count() > 0

and still get the error about the "

nightingale · July 16, 2015

Send me the whole contract... it works for me so there must be *something* else different that's throwing it off.... I can't think what it would be though.
