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

[nightingale]

Sure. I'm modifying Advanced Progression's contracts.

Here is the MM cached output:

        notes = Complete the following:
        synopsis = Launch a manned flyby mission to another planet. It doesn't matter which one.

        REQUIREMENT
        {

        }

            }

Careful, you're significantly changing the contract. The original has "do a flyby of Moho, or Eve, or ..."; yours ends up being "do a flyby of <one random planet selected at contract generation time>". What you want is more like this huge thing:

[Nori]

Oh wow, that looks scary.

Few things.

I did intend to change the way that contract works, but I'm not sure that it really changes that much? You go from, a planet selected at random to do a flyby, vs do a flyby of anything.

Hmm, typing that out I guess I do see the issue since this is supposed to be the first planet flyby. I guess what I wrote would be fine if it was a do random flyby.

Ok you convinced me.

Next, I'm curious as to why you need the 16 ReachState lines? Is it one for each possible planet or is something else happening that I'm not getting?

Sorry for all the questions. This is just really fascinating and kind of makes me want to try my hand at making contracts.

Oh and one more thing, was what I changed the contract too technically workable or did what I change cause the crash?

I just assumed you're trying to maintain linuxgurugamer's original intent.

Next, I'm curious as to why you need the 16 ReachState lines? Is it one for each possible planet or is something else happening that I'm not getting?

It was an arbitrary number to account for any number of planet packs. One day I'll think of a way to do auto-expand that rather than having to make that huge messy structure.

Sorry for all the questions. This is just really fascinating and kind of makes me want to try my hand at making contracts.

No problem!

Oh and one more thing, was what I changed the contract too technically workable or did what I change cause the crash?

Technically workable. The crash is due to a bug somewhere in mono. Usually moving stuff around into DATA nodes (or breaking them up into smaller chunks) works around it. If I'm ever able to reliably reproduce it with a simple test case I'll see if I can change my code to work around the issue... but it doesn't come up very often and the expression handling logic is very complicated... so I don't want to mess around with it too much.

[Nori]

If I'm trying to grab a a bunch of moons, then exclude a list of planets. I can exclude 1 just fine but not the whole list.

I thought it'd be a simple comma separated. Also not sure if this is the best way to do it anyway. Or should I put something else in the Where function?

AllBodies().Where(cb => cb.HasSurface() && cb.IsMoon()).Exclude(Kerbin,Aptur,Serran,Mun)

[nightingale]

You're close, see the List methods. What you want is:

[COLOR=#333333]AllBodies().Where(cb => cb.HasSurface() && cb.IsMoon()).Exclude[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]All[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]([/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000][[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]Kerbin,Aptur,Serran,Mun[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333])[/COLOR]

This should also work:

[COLOR=#333333]AllBodies().Where(cb => cb.HasSurface() && cb.IsMoon() && cb.Parent() != Sonnah)[/COLOR]

Hey Nightingale, I recently started work on a mod to add in a new resource system and just got that all working today but now would like to add some contracts to go with it, ...as you can see, this is where you come in... . I basically want it to be like an ISRU contract only you mine the new resource and have to recover on Kerbin every time. I got the contract mostly working, I just can't find the parameter to mine fresh resources. And then maybe a parameter to have "x" amount of the resource on the craft once back on Kerbin would be nice too. Hopefully I just missed them or something simple. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi nightingale,

I got tired of RemoteTech getting all of the contract love, so I've put together a contract pack for AntennaRange. It gives people contracts to put relay satellites in orbit around all of the bodies in the solar system (planet packs and everything), plus a few extra high-orbit relays around gas giants and such.

Awesome, I'm always happy to see more contract packs, congrats on the release!

[tattagreis]

Still an awesome job Nighingale!

Each time I return to work on BeyondMun (Contract Campaign) there a new CC releases. I would dream of beeing such dedicated to a project!

You're probably the first one using it, since it's so new. It looks fine the way you have it set up, but your second VisitWaypoint should have index=1 (right now both the start and end look at the same waypoint).

If you have other issues with the MissionTimer let me know - it could always be a bug.

[MrChumley]

ive done some more fiddling... it keeps saying

[ERROR] ContractConfigurator.ParameterFactory.CONTRACT_TYPE'KesslerRun',PARAMETER 'KessTimer' of type 'MissionTimer': No ParameterFactory has been registered for type 'MissionTimer'.

ParameterFactory?

Sounds like you're not on the latest version.

A parameter factory is a factory where parameters are made!

EDIT: That being said, the error isn't all that user friendly, I'll clean that up.

EDIT2: So sorry, I just realized you are WAY ahead of the game, since I am just releasing the changes for MissionTimer right... NOW!

Edited July 27, 2015 by nightingale

[nightingale]

New release, bug fixes and a few small changes - download now!

Contract Configurator 1.5.5

• New MissionTimer parameter for displaying a count-up timer (use it for challenges!).
  
• New functions/methods related to contract multipliers - ContractMultiplier(), CelestialBody.Multiplier() ContractPrestige.Multiplier().
  
• Made contract deadline independent of targetBody multiplier (thanks NathanKell).
  
• Correctly update Contracts Window Plus when contract state + titles changes at the same time.

Thanks for the tip, everything looks good on my side, it's either a CKAN issue or a CKAN issue with your install. Hopefully the guys on the CKAN thread will be able to sort it out.

Cool, thanks chaps ^^

Is there anyway to ignore the celestial body modifier to get a static reward value?

Yes, just introduced in the last release! To get a value of 10000 regardless of the body modifier:

rewardFunds = 10000 / @targetBody.[COLOR=#333333]Multiplier()[/COLOR]

And if you also want to ignore the contract prestige multiplier:

rewardFunds = 10000 / [COLOR=#3E3E3E]ContractMultiplier[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]()[/COLOR]

Cool thanks! I was not aware there was a prestige modifier. Is there some documentation on that somewhere? I haven't seen anything while searching.

~Edit - You can disregard that. I did some testing and it appears that going from Trivial to Exceptional nets you about 50% more rewards. Unless there is something more too it I'm struggling to see why Squad put it in the game.

Is there a way to select a Target body excluding ones that have been orbited, flown by or landed on?

I figured I could do something like this:

AllBodies().Where(cb => cb.HasSurface() && cb.xyz)

But I'm not seeing a node under CelestialBody Type that would really fit. I mean there is the return a list of orbited or landed bodies. But I was hoping to be able to use something like the FlyBy requirement.

~Edit - Another question (sorry!). I'm looking at CelestialBody Type and I don't see any method that returns the space high border. Is there a way to retrieve that that I am missing?

Correct, I documented them here. They are 1.0, 1.25 and 1.5. It makes more sense for non-Contract Configurator contracts as making a single contract type is a much bigger investment, so it pays to have it work differently for the different prestige levels.

It's something that I've been meaning to get in for a little while now, right now it's fairly limited in what you can do. I've raised [#279], although I'm not sure I'll be able to get in for 1.6.0, so I've targeted 1.6.1 (or so). Please comment there if there's some specific thing you need beyond what you've mentioned in the thread here. If it's reasonably small I may be able to push it into the 1.6.0 release instead.

EDIT: Didn't answer this part:

Don't have it, I'll add in 1.6.0 - [#280].

Missed a question

[Nori]

Cool! No that looks like it would be perfect. Can't think of anything else at this time. Oh, except, is there a way to check if a vessel currently orbits a celestial body?

Something along these lines:

vessel = SomeVessel()
targetBody = SomeBody()
vesselOrbitsBody = @vessel.CelestialBody() == @targetBody

In unrelated news...

BDArmory players rejoice - Volwen has a new military contract pack out! Kerbin on Fire Military Contract Pack includes a bunch of military contracts, including including aerial combat missions! Check it out!

I was able to get my contract to mine a new resource and return to Kerbin working, took all day though lol, I uploaded the file if anyone wants to take a look at it as another example. http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=33277116876579487797
