Contract Terms Not Triggering

[Exitalterego]

KSP: 0.90 Windows 7 32bit

Problem: Contract events are not triggering correctly.

Mods installed:

Lots (about 60), but the obvious contract ones are

Coherent Contracts

Contract Configurator

Contract Window +

Detailed Report:

After starting two new careers, I've noticed that some contract terms don't seem to correctly trigger.

Case 1: When accepting one of the early missions to reach a specific altitude (30,000m in this case) the altitude was passed but completion of the contract didn't acknowledge until the altitude was approx 65,000 m.

Case 2: When testing a part (radial parachute during flight in this case), neither the altitude clause nor the speed clause triggered as highlighted in Contract Window +. When manually staging the parachute at the correct speed and altitude, the contract failed to complete.

I realise that I have a heavily modded game, and can't really be certain that any of the three mods above are actually causing the problem but if anyone has either seen this happen before, or can help trouble shoot it, it would be greatly appreciated!

Log:

I'm not sure how much use this particular log will be, but I've included it anyway:

output_log.txt

Update:

Another occurrence. This time testing the Mk16 Parachute. Screenshot shows the problem clearly (along with a lot of the mods I have installed!).

Do you have RSS installed? Maybe the altitudes are scaling up with your larger planets somehow but not displaying the correct numbers on the screen.

[Exitalterego]

Nope, I don't use RSS. I tend to avoid mods that alter the universe itself. The mods I have installed are pretty much all part packs or tools.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Your log is a lengthy web of errors and warnings, but there are three that stood out to me, and one in particular caught my eye. Kerbal Alarm Clock and Custom Biomes are repeatedly causing null reference errors. Those are no good, and I am not familiar enough with those addons to explain why you are getting that. Is Custom Biomes still a thing after 0.90?

Contract Configurator is my bet on the culprit here though...

It might be nothing, but it looks mighty suspect to me. I'd ask in their thread what might be causing this error to occur. The stack trace should be very helpful to the creator of Contract Configurator.

Thanks for looking Arsonide. I'll remove Contract Configurator and test again to see if this resolves the problem.

I'll also point out the various null references errors to the mod devs.

As for Custom Biomes, it is compatible with 0.90 (or should be!) but isn't being actively maintained anymore. However, I believe NathanKell is doing maintenance on it as RSS uses it so he may be interested in the null reference errors.

OK, so a quick test reveals that Contract Configurator itself isn't the problem (have reported the log errors to the dev though) but a CC SCANSat Mission Pack is to blame.

This mission pack was installed alongside CC via CKAN, but doesn't have it's own forum thread. I've reported this issue in the CC thread so hopefully someone will pick up on this.

I think we can consider this solved now!
