ToxicFrog posted:Is it just me, or have we returned to the bad old days of rockets sticking to the launchpad unless you put a decoupler on the bottom? I've seen this too. I think it happened when I stuck a decoupler on the bottom of a rocket to do a landed contract. After that only solid boosters would launch until i restarted.

 So, folding in Karbonite and probably home-grown aero. Plus this exciting Kerbalizer news. Female Kerbals, finally!

Hot drat! I love Karbonite but (and i mean no offense) I can't stand the models, so here's hoping if it is folded in to KSP it gets a revamp to fit more into the style. Also super stoked about diversification of Kerbals, it's been a long time coming and it'll be great to play rocket ships with my cousin without her grumping about it being a game just for boys.

I've definitely also had some odd breakage with 0.90, mainly relating to switching in and out of map mode while piloting a ship. It gets into some neither-nor mode where I can't see my ship, can see the planets, and can't see orbits. If I leave to the space center I also have trouble entering buildings or accessing the right-click boxes for them. Quitting to the main menu seems to get the problem to go away, however. I'm not sure if any mods are involved. There's also an annoying visual glitch when I enter the VAB, with the UI being all over the place, but it fixes itself before I get control. (Entering the VAB, SPH and tracking station scenes in general have some performance issues, very non-smooth.)

I get this, sticky launchpads, and sometimes when I'm futzing with things in map mode I lose all control of my ship and have to exit out to the Kampus and then back to my ship from the tracking station. Ironically, I've never had any problems with the 64-bit and specifically switched to 32-bit this time because people mentioned the KSC upgrade bug in 64. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The sticky launchpads seems to be due to using the BACC boosters for me- particularly, if the BACC is what the rocket is being supported by/sitting on, then it'll get stuck.

I've been very proud of my double-hard 0.25 save, having not yet lost a single Kerbal and the icing on the cake being landing my massive Minmus base with even better outcomes than expected (it has enough juice to return, I expected to have to send up a taxi when resources got low) but last night I tried an asteroid redirect contract, got my inclination completely wrong and on planning the return, realised I'd forgotten to put parachutes on the ship  .Rescue mission for Jenfield time.

Metrication posted:I have this. When I installed Karbonite it caused the whole game to lock up and then crash. Not it! But seriously, it's not the mod itself given that it has no code left (it's all in Regolith), and it's just an implementation pack at this point. So either you have a memory issue, or something else funky is going down - both of which are hard to determine without a lot more info.

All my textures are gone/white after using dds converter, which is odd because it was working fine before I did a fresh install. And if I try to load without using dds KSP runs out of memory while loading.

Metrication posted:What kind of info can I provide? KSP version, OS, Windows version, is there actually a crash log? Memory usage at time of crash, etc. And did you reinstall KSP? Do you have other mods? Did you try a clean install with just Karbonite, etc.? Also general PSA and catching up with thread stuff! For the goon who had problems with the array - show me a screenie. There are no default visualizations (the beach balls are gone) because Regolith is biome based. So the usual pattern would be to land, do science, and check for what stuff you can get there at the same time. Also be sure to get the 0.1.1 update because I sucked at radian to latitude conversions. @Max - yep, I have skype stuff. Conference call in a bit, but ping me on IRC after 10am EDT and I can toss you infos. Oh... and SCANSat integration is done:

Oh hot  !The game updated literally on the day I flew out of the country for a month, after not playing for two months. At least I can look forward to mods getting themselves up to date for 0.90, and getting into CKAN! Seriously, this game has needed a proper mod/dependency manager for the longest time. Everyone's comments on the updates are making me excited to play it again, since I've never played the game without manoeuvre nodes before. I'm looking forward to this game kicking my rear end all over the shop when I get back!

Sokani posted:Pilot kerbals grant SAS and the 90 science control node has a probe core that grants SAS. I just unlocked the control node to mount a rescue mission for a pilot stranded around minmus, because gently caress flying anywhere with the stayputnik. Doing anything without SAS is a huge pain. Thanks you two, in my defense it was after 6am and I seem to have missed the OKTO - I know what my next node buy will be then. The guy I picked up was a scientist so no easy ride home. Then again, getting into orbit and matching up is the hard part anyway. At least when they land you get them with 2xp and thus level 1 unlocked. Fine print question: Do I need to leave the satellites put into odd orbits for contracts forever? Or can I get rid of them at some point as I can see it building up into a mess.

Once you've completed the contract you can deorbit/recover them.

Once the contract is complete you can move them or destroy them. If you leave enough dv you can do multiple of those with the same satellite. Or flag them as debris and they won't clutter up the map.

oxbrain posted:Once the contract is complete you can move them or destroy them. If you leave enough dv you can do multiple of those with the same satellite. But be aware that this is only true if you accept the multiple contracts prior to launching that single satellite. This is also true in Station Science, BTW. If you want to do multiple contracts with a single launch, all those contracts must have been accepted prior to that launch.

The contract for achieving orbit disappearing if you get into orbit before you accept that contract is kinda bullshit. Punishing you for doing well doesn't seem like a good idea.

Alaan posted:I think my biggest in game request would be a maneuver node editor that doesn't feel like punching myself in the dick when doing orbital transfer planning without having to use MechJeb or another node editing mod. THIS. The best thing would be to have the current maneuver node system, but the option to click a button on the node and it brings up something like mechjebs maneuver node editor where you can actually put in numbers directly rather than dragging stuff around aimlessly. The current system is great for getting a feel for how orbital maneuvers work and getting a general maneuver set up, but its an absolute ball ache if you want to get any sort of precision.

The Stayputnik is infuriating because it includes neither basic SAS nor internal reaction wheels. A stand‐alone wheel set is massively overpowered, and without SAS to damp my controls, the only way I was able to orient probes was by abusing the way time skipping nulls angular momenta. Maybe I’m just bad at piloting, but I don’t feel that abusing time skip like that is intended behaviour. Perhaps I was supposed to use gimballing engines for all reorientation. Of course later probe cores remedy this one way or the other, but what I really want is tweakable cores, for full SAS and reaction features (and price) in whichever form factor, instead of whichever shape happens to be later in the tech tree. Since that feature doesn’t exist yet, I edited the config files to make it happen.

It might really be a good thing is you simply automatically got the "launch a rocket" and "obtain orbit" contracts auto-accepted at the start of a new career game. Maybe even special-case the obtain orbit contract so it yields more if you finish it earlier, or fold the height record contracts into it to yield partial completion bonuses.

Tweakable cores is a great idea. We've got part-changing mechanics, make it so when you change a probe core it can have SAS or reaction wheels at a funds/weight cost. As-is it's nearly impossibly to use a Stayputnik-only probe. I put one on the Mun and don't want to try it again- and that's someone with some flight sim experience so I'm an okay hand at these sorts of controls. I mean maybe if I had a joystick hooked up it could happen, but on a keyboard it's a nightmare. Even with precise controls, you'd have to thust-limit RCS to have a chance at controlling it.

It seems like there should be an "achievement" system that automatically gives certain rewards after certain milestones without having to worry about accepting contracts. The contracts system could then have the more specialized "OMG I NEED $$$" missions like part testing, surveying the Mohole, or putting a Class-E asteroid in a Molniya orbit around Jool. I know there are achievement mods already but this makes sense to include in the base game for ease of gameplay.

The good news is that that mod still works in 0.90; delete SymmetryActionFix.dll and LargeCraftLaunchFix.dll (the former is busted and the latter is fixed in stock now), but the rest, including the decoupler fix and EVA fix, work.
