<Dasm>
No I loaded the tank, but not the engine tank
<Starwaster>
lamont, how do you feel about altitude based as an alternate trigger for starting PEG? (thinking mostly of spaceplanes here where they might not necessarily want a pitch program)
<Starwaster>
or do you have any other thoughts on how spaceplanes could be handled?
<Dasm>
When I have to do an ejection burn but I forget to add a ullage
<lamont>
sure?
<lamont>
i don’t do planes much so haven’t thought about that at all
<lamont>
seems reasonable-ish tho
<Bornholio>
dasm if you have enough manuever rcs tro spin you could rotate in x or z (y is along rocket) you can get ullaged
<blowfish>
presumably because that's how it was in the reference screenshots
<Dasm>
Can I edit the persistence.sfs ?
<blowfish>
does the short payload fairing have a built-in decoupler
<Bornholio>
stopped trusting the fairings to do so, always put decoupler in place
<Bornholio>
dasm you could edit the fairing base into a decoupler
<taniwha>
um, I thought proc fairing bases never had decouplers
<Bornholio>
they say in VAB that they have that ability
<Dasm>
Bornholio: This is the only time the fairing decoupler hasn't worked for me
<Dasm>
I've used it 30+ times
<taniwha>
only fairing bases I can think of that had decouplers were KW and maybe that old website driven one
<taniwha>
Bornholio: relatively new
<Dasm>
taniwha: I've been using it without a problem
<NathanKell>
taniwha welcome to RO
<taniwha>
Dasm: wasn't there when I started using proc fairings, and I failed to notice the addition
<NathanKell>
Where things are sane
<taniwha>
or they were added by RO
<taniwha>
:P
<taniwha>
I consider non-decoupling to be sane
<taniwha>
but then...
Wetmelon has quit [Ping timeout: 200 seconds]
<Dasm>
Bornholio: So how can I edit this thing apart?
<blowfish>
editing the save file might be right at this point
<blowfish>
be sure to back it up
<taniwha>
also, better to edit a quicksave the the persistent
<taniwha>
just plane easier if you need to iterate
<blowfish>
see if you can find the module, edit isDecoupled to be false
<Bornholio>
dasm you can find the proc fainring base and change it to a decoupler. I never Pers edit myself. others are better experts
<Raidernick>
ok ferram4 combining the parts into 1 fixed it thanks I'll make sure to do that to all the other parts, you said it was unfixable by you right?
<NathanKell>
blowfish: FlipYZ isn't working :(
<blowfish>
Bornholio: based on discussion here it looks like it already is a decoupler
<blowfish>
NK :(
<blowfish>
risks of untested code I guess
<Dasm>
blowfish: I found the vessel I think VESSEL { pid = 27e9752702264f3baecaee963dd6a7af name = Mariner I type = Probe sit = ESCAPING
<taniwha>
NathanKell: case? looks to be flipYZ
<NathanKell>
it's lower case in my patch too
<NathanKell>
just auto-capitalized the sentence
<blowfish>
Dasm: cool, now find the procedural fairing base and it should have a ModuleDecouple
<blowfish>
if you send me the file I can follow along line by line
<blowfish>
yeah, try changing isDecoupled to false
<blowfish>
I don't /think/ capitalization matters
<Bornholio>
False :)
<blowfish>
for false vs False that is
<NathanKell>
it does not matter when parsing a bool, AFAIK
<NathanKell>
ok, put the NK33/NK9 in from BobCat. Let's trust there are no other issues.
<NathanKell>
leudaimon: Yeah, it's another gimbal bug. RD253 has 2-axis gimbaling per cfg.
<Dasm>
blowfish: Okay, I'll try
<NathanKell>
leudaimon: Alcentar *really* needs to fix this stuff.
<NathanKell>
I guess we should just descend en masse on the thread :]
<leudaimon>
NathanKell, damn, I've done a big contraption with verniers thinking it was intended behavior
<leudaimon>
lol, good idea
<Bornholio>
Point your sword and say the word captain :P
<NathanKell>
I mean, on the *real* Proton they probably do have only 1 axis gimbaling
<NathanKell>
but RO supports 2-axis for them
<leudaimon>
yeah, my 4-engine LV works fine
<leudaimon>
for the 1-engine and 2-engine LVs I need verniers, and as there is no UMDH vernier, I have individual tanks for each vernier (and lots of verniers to allow MJ to control it)
<NathanKell>
leudaimon: You will be happy to know that the RD-8xx series verniers exist, on the Rocketry line :)
<NathanKell>
They have crappy models however
<NathanKell>
(they use the 24-77 model and the Model 55 model)
<leudaimon>
well, I really don't like the idea of needing separate verniers in the first stage... and my uppers should work well with the RD-0110 vernier or even RCS
<NathanKell>
When you only have 1 engine in the first stage, you need verniers
<NathanKell>
How it works...
<NathanKell>
Or turbopump exhaust but you're using closed cycle engines :]
<NathanKell>
err, gg exhaust*
NathanKell is now known as NathanKell|Twitch
<Dasm>
blowfish: didn't work
<leudaimon>
yeah... I'm aware of that... I frequently go without roll control in the first stage, even though it's not realistic at all
<Dasm>
blowfish: I think its the probe that is making it stuck
<blowfish>
Dasm: are you sure they're still attached
<Bornholio>
Dasm is it stuck on an internode instead of the base?
<blowfish>
like, are they two separate vessels?
<Dasm>
blowfish: Positive, I can still control the engine
<blowfish>
hmm
<Dasm>
Bornholio: Like.. somethings up with the probe that isn't letting it decouple
<blowfish>
still control the engine and the probe?
<ferram4>
Raidernick, it is fixable... if I want to unfix engines and RCS having the same behavior.
<Raidernick>
ferram4, ok i'll just combine the parts then I only have like 3 spacecraft that are separate
<Dasm>
Raidernick: I have the mariner probe attached to the procedural fairing base and its not coming off, this is the only object I haven't been able to decouple, any ideas?
<Bornholio>
Dasm i think you need to also edit the State = 1 but not sure
<Raidernick>
Dasm, dunno
<NathanKell|Twitch>
Pap: I just forgot to move the PARTUPGRADE I guess
<Dasm>
Ohhh
<Dasm>
If I turn the probe around it detaches

no exceptions at all, above that?
<Pap>
No, NathanKell, CC stores them inside of its own log seperately
<NathanKell>

<NathanKell>
weird
<NathanKell>
Ah, that's just what it displays
<NathanKell>
the actual EXCEPTIONs should be in the main log, or were

There were no exceptions.

Alright.
<rsparkyc>
o/ Pap
<Qboid>
rsparkyc: leudaimon left a message for you in #RO [08.07.2017 16:06:49]: "the proc avionics parts prices have a problem, the minimum price is always somewhere *not* at minimum utilization. For some configs it's even above 100%. My guess is this is due to the "tank" cost. Is there a way to fix this in the configs?"
<Qboid>
rsparkyc: egg left a message for you in #RO [08.07.2017 20:48:41]: "FYI I got phl to review principia#1459, so principia#1452 is fixed at current head"
<ferram4>
Pap, remember that I have already created an agency and a group for these, so you'll want to change those.
<Pap>
yep, i will do that
<Dasm>
I'm about to throw my computer out of the window, for some reason my engine wouldn't cut throttle when I hit X, and I can't focus view Venus when I have a maneuver node
<rsparkyc>
leudaimon: i noticed that (about tank prices). that will be fixed when you can configure the amount of electric charge a probe core can hold
<rsparkyc>
but that's not just a config fix
<leudaimon>
ah ok rsparkyc cool
<Dasm>
Its not letting me focus- this is definitely a bug
<leudaimon>
it gets weird when minimal price is at 125% utilization
<rsparkyc>
yeah, the more i've payed with that, the more i noticed that
<leudaimon>
do you know the cause of that?
<Dasm>
And I can't click the X on the maneuver node thing
<acharles>
blowfish: KER lets you select your target from a list, if that’s what you were asking yesterday?
<blowfish>
there may be more than one mod that does so. I was just commenting that there must be at least one.

<Bornholio>
remeber which topic its under?
<taniwha>
not sure where (surface info? landing guidance?)
<taniwha>
or even landing AP
<Bornholio>
haven't used landing guidance in so long, should i trust it :/
<Bornholio>
need to squeeze every last ounce of dV this time
regex has joined #RO
<NathanKell>
ferram4: Apologies, back now.
<taniwha>
Bornholio: Better Burn Time has a very good suicide burn indicator
<taniwha>
dunno if it works for RO, though
<ProjectThoth>
How does it calculate suicide burns?
<NathanKell>
don't see why it wouldn't
<ferram4>
Don't worry, I took the opportunity to do some paperwork.
<taniwha>
gives only est burn and time to impact, but if you burn at just over 1/2 impact time, you'll be right
<taniwha>
NathanKell: nor do I, really, since it assumes 100% throttle
<ProjectThoth>
That was one of the biggest PITA problems when it came to modeling my own stuff.
<NathanKell>
ferram4: Is there an existing contract that you based the waypoint bit off?
<NathanKell>
ferram4: OH
<NathanKell>
OH
<NathanKell>
index = 1
<NathanKell>
but it's zero-based AFAIK
<NathanKell>
change that to 0
<ferram4>
No, 1 is correct.
<NathanKell>
wat
<ferram4>
THere are two waypoints defined.
<ferram4>
One on the KSC.
<NathanKell>
...oh
<ferram4>
And another created near that to be a set-distance target.
<NathanKell>
Is there an existing contract you can compare to?
<ProjectThoth>
With a terminal velocity and a fixed acceleration (throttle), it's easily solvable. I'm guessing it's one of those weird iterative solution problems, if you're trying to solve for the delta-v exactly.
<ferram4>
I don't believe we have anything that is based off the KSC, but the thing is, I tried this with a random waypoint as index 0 and it still borked.
<ferram4>
Pap, are you adding your weathersatbus and comsatbus resources to RP0 or to RO?
B787_300 is now known as B787_Bed
<Bornholio>
landed on moon, 787dV in base, 1479dv in ascent get home stage Unknown DV in RCS in return pod...Looks grim
<Pap>
ferram4: they are in RO
<Pap>
ferram4: the issue is I didn't move over your agencies so that is why nothing is showing for me
<ProjectThoth>
Bornholio: I thought lunar return was like 1.5 km/s.
<ferram4>
Ah. Okay, so we will need to define a new resource then.
<Pap>
3rd time is the charm
<ferram4>
Warhead
<NathanKell>
ferram4: also, try with a different waypoint icon, like 'marker' ?
<ferram4>
Custom is exactly what's used in the other things that work.
<ferram4>
So that's not it.
<ProjectThoth>
Wait... I'm an idiot, it's closer to 3-4 km/s with ascent losses. :<
<Pap>
ferram4: the nearIndex will break the contract and not let it load, that is most likely the issue
<NathanKell>
ferram4: line 98, change to nearIndex = 0
<NathanKell>
?
<ferram4>
Yes, I've done that.
<ferram4>
I am waiting for it to load.
<NathanKell>
ok
<ferram4>
My HDD is very slow
<NathanKell>
also you betta hope that terrain alt is <=5km :P
<NathanKell>
unless altitude = 0 is in AGL
<ferram4>
An altitude set for 0.0 is placed on terrain level or water level.
<ferram4>
Yes, I have checked these things.
<NathanKell>
\o/
<Pap>
lol
<NathanKell>
then I'll shut up, cuz I have no more ideas :D
<ferram4>
Besides, it's not like you'll find a 5km high plain anywhere.
<NathanKell>
I was digging through GAP, since that uses RANDOM_NEAR
<NathanKell>
and they work
<ferram4>
Even in the Himalayas, you can land between the mountains.
<Pap>
GAP is a detailed and sprawling Contract Pack and is a really good one to use ideas from
<ferram4>
Do we have a way to detect when the player has access to storable fuel tech for engines, and when they have access to large solids?
<NathanKell>
yes
<NathanKell>
check if a tech node is unlocked
<Pap>
^^^ this
<ferram4>
Excellent. The missile contracts can be made more strict.
<ferram4>
Early ones will be okay with kerolox.
<ferram4>
Later, well, don't be stupid.
<NathanKell>
GLUSHKO UBER ALLES
<ferram4>
I'm also going to add contracts for cruise missiles.
<Pap>
NathanKell: is Maxsimal working on the tagging of the parts, or is he doing something else for Launch Costs?
<ferram4>
Less because they were a big thing back then, more because it'll be a good challenge.
<NathanKell>
he's trying them out I think. But it's worth tagging them in the xls regardless
<NathanKell>
ferram4: They led to the big engines on both sides, IMS
<NathanKell>
at least for us they did
<ferram4>
Get to X point without going over Y altitude with Z time carrying W units of Warhead.
<NathanKell>
for them, IIRC Buran had some serious early tech
<NathanKell>
(that-Buran)
<Pap>
So ferram4 and NathanKell, I think we should have the Military RP-0 contracts as a separate contract pack inside of RP-0. What I mean is that when you are starting up a new save, you can pick and choose which contract packs to have through the difficulty settings. By moving the military contracts "outside" of the RP-0 core contracts, we can set them as completely optional to even show up
<ProjectThoth>
RS-440 was kinda like a Soviet Navajo, then?
<NathanKell>
I'd say yeah that or a submod
<ferram4>
That works, I guess.
<NathanKell>
cool
<ferram4>
In that case, should the Warhead resource be included in that, or still in RO proper?
<Pap>
ferram4: let's get these integrated with BD armory and config it for RO and get some real weapons!
<ferram4>
Because I'm gonna need something to act as payload.
<Pap>
NathanKell: shouldn't be a problem to config it in RO, correct?
<ferram4>
nearIndex was not the only issue
<Pap>
It doesn't hurt anything if it sits there not being used
<Pap>
ferram4: I only have 5,000 more MM patches to load to help figure it out
<ferram4>
It informs me that the error is in WaypointGeneration
<Pap>
alright, let me look at your waypoint generation again
<ferram4>
Pap, NathanKell, what is the exact name for the KSC PQS_CITY?
<Bornholio>
620dV left+RCS 786dV to return home from moon. Can i get a cheaper return than mj?
<ferram4>
Is it just KSC?
<Pap>
KSC, but it is case sensitive and yours is lowercase
<ferram4>
Then that is the only one remaining, I think
<NathanKell>
I would say, if you don't mind, let's do it as a submod then, and it can MM in the resource. That *also* means we can MM-modify various other costs and payouts and things based on the presence, or not, of the pack.
<ferram4>
It assumes that you must have completed SoundingRocketLow
<ferram4>
Unfortunately, I blew right past all of those.
<Pap>
Ah, you can uncheck that requirement for testing in the ALT-F10 menu
<ferram4>
Well, unfortunately I didn't see that before I exited, so I just went and added a check to see if the 130 km altitude record that ends low sounding rockets is hit and open it on that as well.
<ferram4>
Pap: So, as it turns out, based on the location that was generated, the first trajectory isn't necessarily even going to go to space.
<ferram4>
Considering that I'm controlling range by cutting the engine.
<Pap>
Too close?
<ferram4>
Well, yeah.
<ferram4>
But I'm setting the initial contract close
<ferram4>
Hmm... maybe 5km leeway is too little.

<Pap>
Yeah, that might be too easy
<ferram4>
No.
<ferram4>
It seems too difficult
<ferram4>
I've thrown 3 V-2s at the target, and they've all failed to get close enough
<Pap>
ohhhhh, yeah, in RL the V-2 needed to hit London, so that is a large target area
<ferram4>
But it's still really difficult.
<ferram4>
Remember, the waypoints don't give us coordinates.
<ferram4>
Nor do we have any good tools for quickly figuring out which long/lat we'll hit.
<taniwha>
waypoints might not give lat/lon, but there /are/ tools

ferram4: Waypoint Manager and Trajectories might be necessary to accomplish some of the missions
<taniwha>
well, the CB ones.
<ferram4>
Trajectories can't be required.
<ferram4>
It has weird buggy behavior.
<taniwha>
you sure? the only issues I know of are it's lack of knowledge of staging and the massive amounts of PEBCAK because nobody tells it to check retrograde using the AoA setting
<ferram4>
Also, I can't tell if the actual waypoint is at the point of the marker, or if it's somewhere else.
<ferram4>
Because the point seems to be off by a bit.
<ferram4>
taniwha: It's recently been causing NaNs to be thrown from FAR, at least in 1.3 dev. No idea how bad it is in 1.2.2, but I imagine not much has changed and I'm only getting reports because people are looking now.
<taniwha>
ah, well, ok, yeah
<taniwha>
I have to admit to last using it back in 1.0.4
<taniwha>
ferram4: would it be reasonable to make it so something like Trajectories can tell FAR to ignore certain parts when voxelizing? (for the stage knowledge issue)
<ferram4>
No, it's not that.
<ferram4>
It's that whatever Trajecotires is doing passes in a NaN at some point.
<taniwha>
different thing
<taniwha>
stage knowledge issue is that Trajectories uses the vessel in its current state rather than what will actually be entering the atmosphere
<ferram4>
And the stage knowledge issue is not something that can be fixed due to the way that vessel aero data is structured.
<taniwha>
so it's impossible to accurately use Trajectories to plan a pod reentry
<ferram4>
So long as you have other stuff attached, yes.
<taniwha>
what about creating a fake vessel?
<ferram4>
That sounds like a good way to create fucktons of garbage and break everything.
<ferram4>
No.
<Bornholio>
pap did you break hydrolox icons or did i
<Dasm>
I made a space thingie that has 5 SaturnV engines... and it broke the launch pad
<taniwha>
ferram4: well, that makes Trajectories pretty useless for anything but aerobraking :(
<taniwha>
(for space-atmo interfacing)
<taniwha>
great for planes etc if used appropriately

let me exit out of this test and look
<Pap>
Bornholio: looks like I screwed up Orbital Rocketry 1961 and all the RL10 nodes as well

It is a case sensitivity issue
<Bornholio>
ok i was going insane trying to figure out what i messed up this time

855/856, they are
<NathanKell>
they're currently in 67
<Pap>
both of them?
<NathanKell>
yeah
<NathanKell>
they're technically 65 engines, the '64 model of the R-36 used other things, but that's better than 67 IMO

<Bornholio>
lol, k
<Pap>
Bornholio: even if you round up, won't you run into the same problem? (or as so often happens in this channel of smart people, am I missing something?)
<Bornholio>
if the requirement under the hood is 113.5 but displays 114, as long as my value (wich is also rounded) shows 114 them will meet requirements
<Pap>
Oh, you are just saying to display a higher number than what is required? That might get tricky for NK, but is possible (with some work)
<Bornholio>
I'll take a looke at how it rounds and displays and see if what i'm asking is sane
<Maxsimal>
I think what Bornholio is asking for makes a lot of sense. If the requested amount is always X.500001, then it will always display as X+1. And if your display shows you have X+1, even if you have X.54, then you're ok.
<Bornholio>
either way the safe thing is as you say pap, overprovision a tiny bit :)

Dasm that makes more sense then, seems pretty good to me

leudaimon|Work: You can edit the initial orbit parameters with TOT

<regex>
seriously, I always think of the tools as tools, it takes me to make sense of them.
<leudaimon|work>
yeah NathanKell|WORK that would be ideal... but even accurate delta-v for a departure from the lunar plane is better than nothing
<NathanKell|WORK>
should ask Arrowstar on his thread
<regex>
I use KSP TOT to find the right time to make a transfer, then put stuff in orbit and make all the maneuvers myself.
<regex>
I use it for estimation.
<leudaimon|work>
regex, but to put the thing in the best possible orbit demands you to know what is that
<regex>
so I'm probably not as demanding as you guys in terms of automation because I enjoy setting up maneuvers and such
<Theysen>
Get your probe in orbit, import the orbit into KSP TOT via the Plugin, Calculate, Upload the maneuver node into KSP while having the probe active, profit
<NathanKell|WORK>
leudaimon|Work: even if TOT just gave the ejection angle (off Earth's orbit), then you could set up a polar orbit to achieve that
<NathanKell|WORK>
so that's fine
<regex>
but sorry, I seem to play the game a lot differently that you guys
<NathanKell|WORK>
regex: muh delta vees!
<regex>

<Theysen>
Dasm, 800km SMA is inside the core of the earth
<leudaimon|work>
yeah, I have to understand better how this thing with the polar orbit works... never got to grasp it well
<NathanKell|WORK>
ok, so: you get how you generally want to eject forwards or backwards along Earth's orbit, right?
<leudaimon|work>
yeah
<regex>
Ah, polar ejection burns.
<NathanKell|WORK>
ok. So launch into the polar orbit that is aligned with that ejection vector
<Theysen>
Dasm, SMA for a standard 180km parking orbit is 6461km
<leudaimon|work>
oh, and that doesn't send you off plane?
<NathanKell|WORK>
leudaimon|Work: no, the time of burn is used to control that
<Dasm>
Theysen: How do I import the orbit into TOT? Is it the Orbital operations console?
<NathanKell|WORK>
depending on where along the orbit you eject, that determines your off-plane angle
<Theysen>
Dasm, install the KSP TOT plugin which comes with it, then go into the flight scene of the vessel. Then right click iirc on the orbital parameters windows and choose import from KSP
Wetmelon has joined #RO
<Theysen>
something like that
<NathanKell|WORK>
so you get that component for free (by varying when you burn) instead of having to spend delta V to get it, or launch into the right inclination and LAN
<Dasm>
Oh! I can right click the window
<regex>
How to translate ejection angle to LAN?
<leudaimon|work>
hum, I think I understand... but don't you need the rignt LAN anyway?
<Dasm>
This is a pretty powerful tool
<NathanKell|WORK>
you do yeah
<leudaimon|work>
or you just launch into an orbit paralel to the sun?
<NathanKell|WORK>
you could, and then spend normal during the ejection burn
<Dasm>
I usually match my inclination with the moon
<NathanKell|WORK>
still fairly cheap
<regex>
No because your ejection angle will be better off-angle from the sun in most cases.
<NathanKell|WORK>
leudaimon|Work: but the nice thing about polar is you can visually match the ejection angle
<leudaimon|work>
cool
<NathanKell|WORK>
instead of trying to match the LAN+inclination from a different orbit, which is rather harder, in polar you only have to match 1 term
<NathanKell|WORK>
that's why it's easier
<Theysen>
NathanKell|WORK, I'd love to see some short "off TTT" tutorial for those ejections and transfers if you ever find the time :)

What would really be useful is being able to use the Support Tank feature as a procedural avionics slider

They currently give infinite avionics
<blowfish>
Pap: it looks like RO keeps the RCS module
<Theysen>
i can even change the propellants
<Bornholio>
how do we fix that with something like a mechjeb module can
<Pap>
blowfish: the RCS yes, not the tank setting like stock SSTU, sorry, I should have been clearer
<blowfish>
or rather, deletes the current two and creates a new one
<blowfish>
okay, so you have integrated RCS but need separate RCS tanks
<Pap>
correct
<blowfish>
is it helpful to have the integrated RCS even though you can't integrate the tanks?

<leudaimon|work>
how much of a payout will you give for that?
<Theysen>
Can we have the payout of that in real money and probably a new nerve system? :D :D
<regex>
lol
<regex>
Do it in six launches
<Pap>
10,000 per satellite advance (240,000)
<Pap>
750,000 reward
<Pap>
5 years to complete,
<Pap>
360,000 penalty for failure
<Theysen>
Did you cut the early 4 sat payout ?
<Theysen>
because if not that's no motivation at all :D
<NathanKell|WORK>
I did
<Theysen>
Ah roger
<Pap>
^^
<Theysen>
props to everyone who will ever have that constellation up and running
<leudaimon|work>
ah, that was so awesome
<NathanKell|WORK>
It now pays, what, ~60k advance, ~130k finish on hard?
<Pap>
Don't worry NathanKell|WORK you will get to launch GLONASS instead
<NathanKell|WORK>
Pap: :D
<Bornholio>
HALFASS?
<leudaimon|work>
btw, I see you guys got these comm arrays to contracts to work, what is the trick?
<Theysen>
That's the part of KSP where a "manager" system comes in handy.. fly the basic mission once, let the rest be done by AI with a certain amount of funding or so..
<Pap>
Theysen: that mod used to exist
<leudaimon|work>
that would be nice, I'm able to output one comm sat and one wheather sat every 10 days or so, but it's soo boring to make this much launches
<NathanKell|WORK>
I'd like a system where you design an LV and then contracts can use it
<Theysen>
it would have prevented me from destroying that 4 satellite single stack launch upon payload "separation" where I brutally killed all 4 by crashing the upper stage into it. went all proton with the direction of sep motors on that one..
<Theysen>
NathanKell|WORK, exactly this
<regex>
you specify a payload and it puts it on the LV
<regex>
That would be great
<Theysen>
A tycoonish function
<regex>
KSP desperately needs that
<Theysen>
build and proof the functionality, let the rest work in the background
<regex>
career mode fails because you have to tend every launch and maneuver
<Theysen>
especially with the big and many sat contracts we have now. But then people might argue to just give a monthly funding *simulating* the contracts by paying you money..
<Bornholio>
realfuels guys can you peak at my boiloff_disable config i'm working on http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/88409-realism-overhaul-discussion-thread/&page=62#comment-3116779 don't normally write these things.
<regex>
Theysen, I'm considering adapting some mods because I can
<regex>
t bear to play contracts anymore
<Theysen>
regex, sorry I fail to follow the meaning of that statement :(
<regex>
So I'm really liking KCT and I want to have money and upgrades and all that management stuff, but I don't care for contracts in the least. They piss me off for some reason.

I've been playing with KCT formulas trying to solve this and I know there's a budget mod out there which I'm thinking of trying out as well.
<NathanKell|WORK>
yep, please do try out the budget mod :)
<regex>
Pap, it's not you, seriously. Would you rather me in here complaing about how boring the career is or would you rather I try to solve my problem?
<Theysen>
both, i like the mix ^
<regex>
lol
<Pap>
regex: I was just kidding around, I agree that something like monthly budgets along with milestone contracts would be ideal
<regex>
I could handle that, to build up rep, but I really, really, really hate grinding sats or sounding rockets.
<Pap>
regex: the funny thing is, so do I, but I like have the milestone contracts to "guide" me along
<leudaimon|work>
general exploration and science gathering is nice too... it's just the grindy contracts you do just because you have nothing better to do right now that is a little boring
<Theysen>
you can warp through that :^)
<regex>
yes but /when/ do you warp?
<leudaimon|work>
my min-max mind doesn't allow me
<regex>
when I get bored?
<regex>
Oh look, it's 1999
<Theysen>
regex, nah after unlocking all nodes I need until I get them (and after I spent enough points into dev rates)
<Pap>
1999! Prince tells us it is time to Party!
<Theysen>
do the next big milestone, build upon that.. in the old tech tree it gets you far fast, new one might actually benefit from more money
<Bornholio>
it does not matter what year it is just party like its 19999

yeah, the video by slimmy is nice, but his second method is not worth the effort, it doesn't make that much of a difference to have an LV that allows you to get into an inclined parking orbit
<regex>
vOv I guess my ming just doesn't work with RP-0 career mode. Doesn't work with stock, either. I don't need "ideas", I have tons of them and all those contracts are getting in the way of launches.
<NathanKell|AWAY>
Regex you need programs and monthly budgets
<Dasm>
Theysen: I opened up mission architect and my mind is exploding

Dasm, yes I should have warned you XD

<regex>
NathanKell|AWAY, yeah, science mode fills the void somewhat though.
<regex>
but I enjoy the complexity of KCT with upgrades, quite fun
<Theysen>
Dasm, for stock yes :D it comes in the folder
<regex>
So i'll be shopping around and report back
<Pap>
regex: Take a look at the State Funding mod (taken over by Linuxguru) as it is customizable and will reward based on certain acheivements
<regex>
Nope
<Pap>
Don't like that one?
<regex>
I want a straight budget based on rep milestones, I don't want "guidance".
<Theysen>
OOoooo Shadowmage going to do Gemini, Mercury, TKS, VA capsules series *_*
<Pap>
Theysen: I want the engines, not the Capsules :)
<Theysen>
na dude, I want one suite which has it all for RO/RP-0. And SSTU clearly is the favorite atm.
<Dasm>
Theysen: The mission architect only has stock engines available.. sooo
<Pap>
Theysen: I actually 100% agree with that
<Sigma88>
anyone here knows how to get which renderer objects I am seeing on the screen?
<NathanKell|WORK>
Sigma88: there must be a way but I don't know it
<NathanKell|WORK>
regex: Problem is for rep-based funding to make sense, you need some system of increasing rep based on what you do
<NathanKell|WORK>
and for that you either need something like 'contracts that pay only in rep' or you need a Programs setup that pays lump sums on completion
<NathanKell|WORK>
(programs very like our _major_ milestone contracts)
<NathanKell|WORK>
oh and that reminds me, since we're talking about BARIS now
<NathanKell|WORK>
Theysen: that isn't a clone of BARIS, that **is** BARIS
<NathanKell|WORK>
with the 'BA' stripped off for copyright reasons, but that is the same codebase and assets.
<NathanKell|WORK>
it's FOSS now.
<NathanKell|WORK>
(and had been in active development for decades)
<Sarbian>
Sigma88: did you try Renderer.isVisible ?
<NathanKell|WORK>
Sarbian: but that requires iterating over all objects no?
<Sarbian>
it does. it depends on the use case :)
<Dasm>
Yup, my mind is broken now
<regex>
NathanKell|WORK, yes, milestone contracts are fine.
<NathanKell|WORK>
Sarbian: Oh, there is one danger. Make sure you compute revised flow *after* you check for zero flow and then compute it from thrust and Isp.
<NathanKell|WORK>
Which you would be, but...just be aware :)
<Sarbian>
I am still fighting with GCMonitor code and KSP asset loading/unloading for now...
<regex>
RP-0 still does the basic milestones, right? In which case you can award rep for those instead of having contracts.
<Sarbian>
I wish I knew what the hell is going on when Main Menu is reached and a bunch of asset seems to be unloaded
<NathanKell|WORK>
regex: yes those could easily be rep only

NathanKell|WORK: Why continue to use RemoteTech instead of CommNet? Is it still very different?
<NathanKell|WORK>
Yes. It has cone angles for dishes, it has flight computer, it has signal delay

(note: the latter two are the same thing internally)
<Pap>
Signal Delay is the worst
<Pap>
lol
<Pap>
That makes sense though
<NathanKell|WORK>
But there are some things in commnet I really like
<NathanKell|WORK>
especially the antenna-relay distinction
<NathanKell|WORK>
antennas are easy
<NathanKell|WORK>
relays are hard

we *need* that in RO

NathanKell: After a quick test, setting KCT_Preset_Part_Variables { Module_Variables { ModuleTagAvionics = 10000000000 }} in RP0_KCTPresets.cfg didn't make a difference in build times for avionics units. I don't see a [X] variable in KCT that applies this multiplier in the EffectivePartFormula either, though there could be an undocumented one.

then try building something
<Maxsimal>
NathanKell: Hrmm, ok - sorry where do I add @PART{*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleAvionics]]:AFTER[RP0] { MODULE { name = ModuleTagAvionics } } ?
<Maxsimal>
NathanKell: I'm a newb when it comes to modding KSP, everything I know is based on conjecture rather than experience.
<NathanKell|WORK>
ok, lemme back up then :)
<NathanKell|WORK>
I only created the modules in code
<NathanKell|WORK>
you will need to add them to parts as you see fit
<NathanKell|WORK>
Pap is talking about, in the medium term, using his spreadsheet to do the tagging. But for now, for testing, you will need to do the tagging yourself
<NathanKell|WORK>
so create a new cfg file in the RP-0 folder and call it, say, Tags.cfg
<NathanKell|WORK>
put that bit of MM code in there
<Maxsimal>
Ok, with you so far
<NathanKell|WORK>
sorry, not AFTER[RP0] but AFTER[RP-0] I think
<NathanKell|WORK>
anyway, the main point is you want it to run *after* RP-0 adds avionics to eveyrthing

btw, am I the only one annoyed that the only single 275N-class RCS thruster part is the 'conformal' one with heat shielding?
<soundnfury>
I often use the 138N-class single RCS thruster on satellites and probes, because it's so much lighter than the 1.1/1.78kN Thruster.
<soundnfury>
But sometimes it's just a _little_ bit too low-TWR, when orbital maneuvres start to take twelve minutes.
<Maxsimal|AFK>
soundnfury: Agreed. Proc RCS would be great someday. I'm always buiding weird little RCS subassemblies on a twea-scaled octagonal strut that would be nice to have in just 1 part.
<Bornholio>
yes so make a 275N clas quad and Atitude :)

it used to have range enough for opposition-class Mars missions, but now it's tight even for conjunction

is that the one with the careful to mars notes

no, that's the HG-55
<soundnfury>
which _is_ well-capable of conjunction-class missions
<soundnfury>
but it used to be that the DTS-M1 was the "ok, you can stop worrying now and just go to Mars whenever" dish
<soundnfury>
Another thing: there are hardly any techs in the range (50, 75] science points (i.e. R&D facility level 3).
