[Release - Final] kOSPropMonitor - IVA kOS Monitor

dsonbill · February 25, 2020

For anyone that uses this, please let me know what you think.

The whole thing with the labels was more of a proof of concept, and I saw a few people complain about it being useless, so I made this the stock setup instead:

The label and flag panels are still there - they're just made for other things than a basic terminal (I.E. IVA makers who want to do something special). Since everyone thinks I programmed this in a way that the labels can't be removed, I'll just do it like this.

If you're an IVA developer, check out the old terminal templates if you want to use some of those fancy features. For now, I'll be working on a release of the above.
If anyone has any other complaints about this, please let me know. It will be taken into heavy consideration.

This is a half-width version. This will make the console effectively 80x19. Let me know what you guys think.

Color support is a bit screwy. If you guys would rather have to do it all yourself, let me know - it'll make doing your own colors much easier. Also, let me know what you guys think the default color should be. Terminal green isn't bad, but white is easier to read.

Here's the results:

Hopefully people feel this is a bit more of what they were expecting out of the default terminal. Again if anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Note: Released on SD.

Hi!

So it actually works in 1.9? CKAN tell me it cannot.

Should look into...

I've honestly never really supported CKAN. I'll look into what's going on later tonight. Sorry about that.

Edit: You'll have to ask the CKAN guys. I have no idea why 1.5.1 is the latest version of the mod on there.

If kOs 1.2.1.0 work in 1.90 then you are right.

No problem for me to download without ckan. They probably would update later.

I don't know why but on Linux your zip archive is broken it doesn't contain subfolders and the path of the single files are represented in their name. On Windows everything works just fine.

@dsonbill

Indeed unzip complains, it does create the directories, and seems to unpack the files to their relevant locations, but the files are horribly broken.

We've been getting an inflation error with the latest release because the file paths in the ZIP use backslashes, which the ZIP format specification doesn't allow (basically what @Kontiko and @Corax said):

Hey, do you think there is any way to use unicode characters with this mod ? kOS supports it, and it seems that Raster Prop Monitor too, but that is not the case for kPM

stephm · December 24, 2020

Hello! Resolved

I find how use button!!

Ex :

Set Button to addons:kpm:buttons.

Function test

{print "hello" !}.

Button:setdelegate(0, test@)

Affect the function test to button 0 when it's pressed. (mfd button_a)

Joined to label state and you have all you need to execute a task.

I use the template with {button label..} in a modified basicmfd. Txt

added more colum and row to keep space, new starting page, mfd it's only for kos. (next video soon)

Steph.

edit.

can't manage to make the keyboard work since ksp update 1.11. i try with a clean install took me many attempt but when i press "O"button near the mfd the KRBD lock normaly but no inputs go to the screen (can't type anything) it was working for the past few months tho...
Any ideas on a temporary fix ?

This doesn't really have enough info to be able to help...

Can you post the scripts? What is supposed to happen? What actually happens? Do you get any error messages?

Note, I'm mainly familiar with the older versions of KOSPropMonitor and I'm not at all familiar with the advanced MFD integration that it provides.

sorry, a gui is supposed to show up ^^ i get a error message on the syntax on weird things like a letter or what and everything should be fine cause it was working untill now .

here are the scripts and a video of what should happen ... as u can see the screen are green that why i was assuming that was generating the bug cause new version of kpm have colors integration so maybe a incompatibility ? i should be able to get the green screen bck but somehow i must miss some infos ^^"

hi !

I think you forgot to create the button object!

the way to use buttons with kpm is :

set mybutton to addons:kpm:buttons

and now you asign a function to button :

mybutton:setdelegate(ID, my function) ID is the button number.

here's an example of script to manage Kpm :

see next post

That's how it works:

1 create the object : set mybutton to setKPMapi("B")

2 You can then define the function to be assigned to the button : mybutton["dele"](0, myfunction@).

it's the same for Flags and Labels.

for label :

set mylabel to setKPMapi("L") , and you have more options with label and flag

mylabel["setTXT"](2, my text here) set the text to label 2 etc.

Hi !

Testing from every angle is perfect (apart from an error message in the console loading the ship, posted on GitHub).

On the other hand can I make a suggestion , Could there be a Meta-variable (JSI) returning the active page of the MFD (JSI) recoverable by KOS or KPM, it's still my problem by that I use a key of the MFD to switch from the presentation page to the KOS page, but I don't control it in the script (in boot), the scrip start that I activated the MFD kos page or not , the result is that if addons:kpm and loaded while the page MFD kos is not displayed, one loses the creation of the object.

I don't know if it's quite clear...

I added a delay: wait 6. so under this delay if the page MFD kos and displayed everything works, past this deadline no buttons or labels, it is necessary to restart KPM via the button of the MFD.

It's not very practical.

In any case it's really great to access KOS via this MFD it opens up a lot of horizons and allows you to fly in cockpit mode with KOS without having to open the CONSOLE of KOS.

My regrets are that I only have a JAVA base in programming (1 years) that allows me to get by with KOS, I have some notions in C but it's really not enough for me to create modules for KSP

I'm currently researching a way to run kOS scripts from C#, which I think is what you're really after. So you can run a script on start of the prop, or on button push.
Unfortunately this is going to be a bit more complex than I would have liked, but I think it's possible.

As for getting the active page, I'll look into it. The main issue is it would require a hard-link to RPM, which would break future MAS compatibility.

hi ! @dsonbill ( I'll look into it. The main issue is it would require a hard-link to RPM, which would break future MAS compatibility.)

Ok I understand, I have my afternoon on the wiki , I looked and tested a lot the options of the section: Page handlers

This variable especially: pageActiveMethod, I insert it on the default page of the CFG file of the MFD I thought for a moment that it worked but no.

I have 3 pages so (0 to 2) I tested pageActiveMethod - true or false, my pages from 0 to 2. everywhere lol.

sometimes I had the possibility to use KOS on the second config but in any case we lose the tips of the mfd.

this video example :

I exceeded the delay of 6 seconds i placed before accessing the page containing kOSMonitor, the script started and started addons:KPM but it is not taken into account.

And here are my attempts to have several configs of pages with label without label etc.

I really would have liked to look at programming side, but it would take a long time to assimilate all aspects, I try to make some modifications with visual studio, I look a few times at the twich chain of @linuxgurugamer , there is so much to master that it would take me years to understand ... :valsad: and English makes me find it difficult to get some stuff.

But hey it's not too serious everything works I released some buttons of the MFD with the latest model of MFD, thus offering more choice to use the buttons with KOS.

Keep up the good work !!!

Steph.
