[techgamer17]

Can someone explain why the contract pack is not appearing in the CKAN list for me?

Because it's not officially compatible with 1.2.x

Hello. What still needs to be done to this mod before it is all good with 1.2.x?

Hello All,

I have taken the TMA1 Monolith contract, travelled to it and I think I found it, I mean I completed the contract, but I could not see the monolith? What gives?

I saw something on the ksp wiki to the effect of "many monoliths are buried under the terrain since 1.1", is that the problem?

As of 1.1 many monoliths are buried beneath the terrain.

Terrain details can also cause that, I think. Try setting it to the maximum.

@nightingale , I wanted to ask, if I may - I heard rumors that this contract pack is abandoned and won't be updated anymore - is that true? (Hope not!)

[aluc24]

I just read that @nightingale has stepped down from KSP development team... That probably means his mods won't be maintained either. Would anyone be willing to take over these mods?

It was a tough decision to leave the Squad team, but with everything going on in life I’ve been unable to devote nearly as much time as I’ve wanted to KSP.  I’ve got a pretty unpredictable schedule, and I don’t want to put myself in a position where I’m not be able to deliver the level of quality that KSP deserves.

I’ve enjoyed my time with Squad tremendously, as it gave me the chance to work with some really great people (they know who they are).  I’m excited to see what you guys will think when some of the new things we’ve been hard at work on are revealed.

The KSP community’s always been good to me, and I don’t plan on going anywhere.  I’d set my modding hat aside for the past month or so, but I’ll be picking that back up shortly.  In fact, I already have a few interesting ideas in how I can hook into the…  well, I suppose UomoCapra and Badie can tell you guys about that when the time’s right.

So hopefully he will continue to update his mods. Anomaly Surveyor still work in 1.2.2 except for Jool contract If I remember correctly.

I see! Well, that's a relief. Having not heard from him for a long time, I assumed the worst. Thank you for this information.

A recompile of the DLL portion, fixing compile issues (if any) and re-testing the Jool sequence.  The last one is the one that takes time.

I needed some time away from KSP.  Going to be spending some time catching up on threads and raising things in GitHub this weekend.  Once I've got all that sorted I'll have a better pictures of where the Anomaly Surveyor 1.2 updates fits in priority-wise.  I don't want to commit to anything until I'm back into the full swing of things.

Of course. Having to maintain that many addons must be exhausting in the long run. A break is completely understandable. No pressure. Just wanted to say thank you for spending your spare time on these wonderful addons. You're great.

A thought would be to temporarily disable the Jool sequence to quickly get a 1.2.2 safe version out, then do the slow work without people asking "1.2.2 when?"

[MysterySloth]

Does the dll do anything? I want to know for purposes of putting this into 1.2.

Yep, that would be great.

I miss the early special missions with airfield, pyramids and mun arc etc.. Gave so much flavor to the otherwise standard missions about gathering science and stuff.

The contract pack contains a dll - and you are still discussing 1.2.2 - should I even dare to ask for experiences in 1.3 with this?

I won't be doing a 1.2.2 release for this.  But I will be doing a 1.3.0 release at some point.

[theonegalen]

Sounds excellent!

[tjsnh]

FWIW - everything still works great in 1.3 up to the 'monolith' stuff

That's great to hear - "Anomalies' is one of my favorite Mods... it really gives a little bit of story to the game that it was missing!

Question for you nightingale... I seem to remember that in an older version of this contract pack the "Squad" logo had been removed from all, or at least some, of the monoliths. 

Am I remembering this correctly?  If so, do you know a way to remove the logo in the future? 

 

Thanks!

Don't think you're remembering correctly, mod this never changed anything with them.  They always had the logo, but they used to be smaller - and the logo was hard to see in some locations.

That must be all it was.  Thanks.

Reporting that CPAS is working in 1.3.0, but I haven't got to Jool yet.

The problem is I have SCANSat 17.7 but i'm getting all the anomaly contracts without having found it via SCANSat. Is that the expected behavior? Thanks!

Jool's definitely broken, I went out there for a quick test and I couldn't see the... thing.  As for SCANsat, I'll have to check, it's possible that something broke during the long night.
