Small update, concerning code generation.
Now the code should compile in all cases, and be less redundant.

The second attachment point is slaved to the robotic arm function so it shouldn't be static. And problem is that the vessel doesn't show up attached to the parent vessel.

And looking at the API Reference manual, it seems like TOPARENT is supposed to be a boolean function IE TRUE or FALSE not 0 or 1.

0=false, non-0=true, by common C++ definition.
No idea how to fix the non-appearance, will fix once way is found, ideas are welcome.

Errrr... I've no idea how they work, but sounds are provided in...

[addon zip]/Sound/Vessel/[vessel name]/

Indeed.
I'll try adding them later, never worked with OrbiterSound either.

Artlav: Thanks for adding the C++ generator as it made tracking down the attachment point bug easier. If you move CreateAttachment to clbkSetClassCaps where all the other base stuff is located, attachment points work as intended.

 

[Artlav]

Minor update 110415_3.
-Fixed issues with attachment points.

Only generated DLLs should have been affected, C++ code is likely correct.

Very nice Artlav. You creativity know no bounds! :tiphat:

I hate to add to the workload , but there's also the capability of spacecraft 3 to add a virtual cockpit.
This one for example:

Mars1994

It crashes when you try to go inside.

Strange, it's supposed to work. I tested on GregBurch's Swift and VC works like a charm.

If you remove " from MESHNAME="Mars1994/Mars1994pit" in VC section of mars1994.ini and re-convert, would it work?

Hmm..Yes it does!

 

[Artlav]

So, simple quote parsing fail.
I'll add that to the next fix.

 

[tgep]

It's not. Generated vessels appear invisible in old versions. :shrug:

That means it was compiled under the 2010p1 version and is totally useless to me.:beathead:

I'm having some difficulty making a .dll for my Chapman probes, I can't get the animations to work. When I edit the scenario file, and change "ANIM_0 -2 0" to "ANIM_0 -2 1" nothing on the spacecraft changes, and when I looked at the source files, I can't find anything where the mesh groups are defined. Could I be doing something wrong in where I define my animations in my .ini file?

I wonder if just changing VESSEL3 to VESSEL2 in the exported source and compiling would fix this problem. Spacecraft3 doesn't use any new functions.. :hmm:

EDIT: Sorry, that doesn't make sense. Ignore me. :hide:

Hm, if you change TYPE=rotate to TYPE=ROTATE and like, would it work?
I assumed only uppercase can be used.

Update.
-Fixed VC mesh issue
-Fixed all kind of case sensitivity issues
-Added key 0 to animation controls

Both Mars1994 and Chapman probes now work fine.

That means it was compiled under the 2010p1 version and is totally useless to me.:beathead:

Sorry, O2010P1 is what it's targeted to. Can you compile the C++ code generated under O2006? If not, i can add an option to the generator.

 

[Mister Kite]

Further playtesting reveals that the RCS doesn't work with Mars1994.
The main engine however, does. (and shows.)
With Bullet, all engines work but the RCS exhausts doesn't show.
Patching to UMMU 2.0 didn't seem to make any difference.

 

[Artlav]

It's not RCS, these work OK.
Try adding PMI=(15.5,22.1,7.7) to Mars1994.ini [CONFIG] section.
Looks like i failed to provide defaults for fields that lack.

Minor update 110416_1:
-Fixed PMI defaults, makes vessels with it defaulted rotateable

 

[Mister Kite]

Yep, that worked.

Ah, I see you already updated.:thumbup:

 

[NukeET]

RCS works on Willy Ley Space Taxi's SC3 *.ini file when converted to DLL, but nothing visually shows. What am I doing wrong in the *.ini file?

Nothing, i think my exhaust stream handling is lousy somewhere.
Investigating.

 

[Donamy]

I don't think anyone has made more SC3 vessels than me,( no brag, just fact) all aside, I think the draw back is the lack of control with them. Would it be possible to join SC3 vessels into one larger .dll vessel and have a way to switch to different areas, without having to press [F3], which completly kills the immersiveness IMO. Also, could you impliment the robotics, and a way to control the MFD's while in the VC mode ? BTW, thanks for this much needed app.

Sorry, O2010P1 is what it's targeted to. Can you compile the C++ code generated under O2006? If not, i can add an option to the generator.

That would be an awsome fix. :11sign:

I build primarily basic vessel class and SC3 class vessels so they work in both versions.

Ever since my old computer went belly up, I can't run 2010P1 because the pokey machine I'm on now just isn't powerfull enough to handle it, let alone run my old compiler set up.

You should see how long it takes this clunky old thing I use now to optimize a fairly complex mesh ...... :suicide:
