Project Universal Astronaut and Cargo System (UACS)

[Buck Rogers]

In the API there's a call for: SetAttenuation ( , , ), I think this controls power.

 

[gattispilot]

3 issues. I can figure out.
1. airlocks how to make all closed
!vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(0).open;
2. make a airlock open/closed on a key

3 I know this is a bug. But how to show the guy in the vessel when they enter.
void FLEXUACS::clbkPostCreation () { mdlAPI.clbkPostCreation(); for (size_t idx{}; idx < vslAstrInfo.stations.size(); ++idx) { if (!vslAstrInfo.stations.at(idx).astrInfo) continue; const auto& astrInfo = *vslAstrInfo.stations.at(idx).astrInfo; SetEmptyMass(GetEmptyMass() + astrInfo.mass); SetStationMesh(idx, astrInfo.role, true); //show the mesh } }
void FLEXUACS::SetStationMesh(size_t stationIdx, std::string_view role, bool show) { switch (stationIdx) { case 0://left // Show first station commander mesh if (role == "Commander") SetMeshVisibilityMode(6, show ? MESHVIS_ALWAYS : MESHVIS_NEVER); // Show first station pilot mesh else if (role == "Pilot") SetMeshVisibilityMode(5, show ? MESHVIS_ALWAYS : MESHVIS_NEVER); break; case 1://right // Show second station commander mesh if (role == "Commander") SetMeshVisibilityMode(4, show ? MESHVIS_ALWAYS : MESHVIS_NEVER); // Show second station pilot mesh else if (role == "Pilot") SetMeshVisibilityMode(7, show ? MESHVIS_ALWAYS : MESHVIS_NEVER); break; } }

Also is it possible to have a astronaut with a different specific module? I saw for cargo you could.

 

[gattispilot]

On my vessel I have 4 airlocks. the open/close state is based off animation. But even though it says it is open no guy can get out and no error message??

open door for which airlock
if (key == OAPI_KEY_D && !KEYMOD_SHIFT(kstate) && KEYMOD_CONTROL(kstate) && !KEYMOD_ALT(kstate)) { if (astrHUD.airlockIdx == 0) RevertADOOR1(); if (astrHUD.airlockIdx == 1) RevertADOOR2(); if (astrHUD.airlockIdx ==2) RevertDOOR1(); if (astrHUD.airlockIdx == 3) RevertDOOR2();
here the airlock open if door open
vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(0).open = ADOOR1_proc >= 1;//LEFT vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(1).open = ADOOR2_proc >= 1;//RIGHT vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(2).open = DOOR1_proc >= 1;//LEFT vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(3).open = DOOR2_proc >= 1;//RIGHT
void MMSEV::clbkPostCreation(void) { mdlAPI.clbkPostCreation(); for (size_t idx{}; idx < vslAstrInfo.stations.size(); ++idx) { if (!vslAstrInfo.stations.at(idx).astrInfo) continue; const auto& astrInfo = *vslAstrInfo.stations.at(idx).astrInfo; SetEmptyMass(GetEmptyMass() + astrInfo.mass); SetStationMesh(idx, astrInfo.role, true); } vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(0).open = ADOOR1_proc >= 1;//LEFT vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(1).open = ADOOR2_proc >= 1;//RIGHT vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(2).open = DOOR1_proc >= 1;//LEFT vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(3).open = DOOR2_proc >= 1;//RIGHT }

 

[gattispilot]

So here I should be seeing only 1 of the suit mesh. But both are seen,
void MMSEV::SetStationMesh(size_t stationIdx, std::string_view role, bool show) { switch (stationIdx) { case 0://left // Show first station commander mesh if (role == "Commander") SetMeshVisibilityMode(4, show ? MESHVIS_ALWAYS : MESHVIS_NEVER); // Show first station pilot mesh else if (role == "Pilot") SetMeshVisibilityMode(5, show ? MESHVIS_ALWAYS : MESHVIS_NEVER); break; case 1://right // Show second station commander mesh if (role == "Commander") SetMeshVisibilityMode(4, show ? MESHVIS_ALWAYS : MESHVIS_NEVER); // Show second station pilot mesh else if (role == "Pilot") SetMeshVisibilityMode(5, show ? MESHVIS_ALWAYS : MESHVIS_NEVER); break; } }
case UACS::ASTR_EGRS:
{
size_t stationIdx = static_cast<size_t>(context);
auto& astrInfo = *(vslAstrInfo.stations.at(stationIdx).astrInfo);

SetEmptyMass(GetEmptyMass() - astrInfo.mass);
SetStationMesh(stationIdx, astrInfo.role, false);

return 1;
}

Trying to figure this set stationmesh i have the crew mesh set as never not seen.
eva1_mesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("MMSEVUACS/MMSEVsuitright1"); SetMeshVisibilityMode(AddMesh(eva1_mesh, &mesh1ofs), MESHVIS_NEVER ); eva2_mesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("MMSEVUACS/MMSEVsuitleft1"); SetMeshVisibilityMode(AddMesh(eva2_mesh, &mesh1ofs), MESHVIS_NEVER);
and then in set stationmesh
void MMSEV::SetStationMesh(size_t stationIdx, std::string_view role, bool show) { sprintf(oapiDebugString(), "stationidx %d", stationIdx); switch (stationIdx) { case -1://right // Show first station commander mesh SetMeshVisibilityMode(4, MESHVIS_NEVER); SetMeshVisibilityMode(5, MESHVIS_NEVER); // Show first station pilot mesh break; case 0://left // Show first station commander mesh SetMeshVisibilityMode(4, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL); SetMeshVisibilityMode(5, MESHVIS_NEVER); // Show first station pilot mesh break; case 1://right // Show first station commander mesh SetMeshVisibilityMode(4, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL); SetMeshVisibilityMode(5, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL); // Show first station pilot mesh break; break; } }
If we load 2 crew both guy show up, great. eva 1 guy now only 1 guy shows, great. exit both then both guy show up
It looks like it is based off station index. i tried station index -1 for no crew.

 

[gattispilot]

Any updates? This works in 2024. BUT no sound yet. Once an official version is released then maybe other addon will follow.

 

[misha.physics]

Sorry for my ignorance, does the UACS - Universal Astronaut and Cargo System include UCSO - Universal Cargo System for Orbiter? That is, does the UACS have all (or almost all features) as the UCSO and replace it?

 

[Abdullah Radwan]

Hi all!

Sorry for the long absence. Got too busy with RL. I am currently taking exams. I'll finish after a month, and I'll work on a public release.

 

[Abdullah Radwan]

How many lamps are you supposed to get when unpacked? I'm getting cargolamp1-4, and lamp1, total 5. Maybe just a naming issue?

The lamp cargo has 5 lamps. The issue is that both packed and unpacked cargoes use the same name, which causes naming issues if another packed lamp cargo exists when unpacking. I should fix this in the next update.

Also. on the astronauts. Can they also be vessels? rathe than meshes

The reason I ask is so that we can use specialized eva guy like my shuttle guy with arm/leg animations,.....

Yes. Use the astronaut API to make a custom astronaut. Implement the necessary methods as specified in the documents then implement any custom functionality you would like.

Sorry for my ignorance, does the UACS - Universal Astronaut and Cargo System include UCSO - Universal Cargo System for Orbiter? That is, does the UACS have all (or almost all features) as the UCSO and replace it?

Yes. UCSO is obsolete now.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks.
It needs to work with Sound

not sure how to make a custom astronaut. if the astronaut. cfg. It looks like you can only change meshes?

And the fix of the showing the meshes of the crew

I will see what I can do regarding sounds.

As for custom astronauts, see the documents on how to implement them. It has nothing to do with the configuration files. You need to inherit from UACS::Astronaut class and implement the necessary methods.

I am not sure what you mean by fixing the visibility of crew meshes. What's the issue?

 

[gattispilot]

Oh. In the version you have you said there was an issue where the crew meshes didn't auto load.

Project - Universal Astronaut and Cargo System (UACS)

Not sure if I have this correct. Here I added a guy but not seen until I reload? FLEX:FLEXUACS ASTR_STATION 0 ASTR_NAME John G. ASTR_ROLE Pilot ASTR_MASS 70.000000 ASTR_OXYGEN 0.999275 ASTR_FUEL 1.000000 ASTR_ALIVE 1 ASTR_CLASSNAME UACS\Astronauts\Xemuredbroke ASTR_STATION 1...

The issue is that the API should call clbkGeneric after astronaut addition, but I forgot to do so. Until the next update, just call SetEmptyMass and SetStationMesh in the same way as the ASTR_INGRS block after adding the astronaut.
I have one vessel
meshes defined: eva1_mesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("MMSEVUACS/MMSEVsuitright1"); SetMeshVisibilityMode(AddMesh(eva1_mesh, &mesh1ofs), MESHVIS_NEVER ); eva2_mesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("MMSEVUACS/MMSEVsuitleft1"); SetMeshVisibilityMode(AddMesh(eva2_mesh, &mesh1ofs), MESHVIS_NEVER);
void MMSEV::clbkPostCreation(void) { mdlAPI.clbkPostCreation(); for (size_t idx{}; idx < vslAstrInfo.stations.size(); ++idx) { if (!vslAstrInfo.stations.at(idx).astrInfo) continue; const auto& astrInfo = *vslAstrInfo.stations.at(idx).astrInfo; SetEmptyMass(GetEmptyMass() + astrInfo.mass); SetStationMesh(idx, astrInfo.role, true); } vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(0).open = ADOOR1_proc >= 1;//LEFT vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(1).open = ADOOR2_proc >= 1;//RIGHT vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(2).open = DOOR1_proc >= 1;//LEFT vslAstrInfo.airlocks.at(3).open = DOOR2_proc >= 1;//RIGHT } void MMSEV::SetStationMesh(size_t stationIdx, std::string_view role, bool show) { //sprintf(oapiDebugString(), "stationidx %d", stationIdx); switch (stationIdx) { case -1://right // Show first station commander mesh SetMeshVisibilityMode(4, MESHVIS_NEVER); SetMeshVisibilityMode(5, MESHVIS_NEVER); // Show first station pilot mesh break; case 0://left // Show first station commander mesh SetMeshVisibilityMode(4, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL); SetMeshVisibilityMode(5, MESHVIS_NEVER); // Show first station pilot mesh break; case 1://right // Show first station commander mesh SetMeshVisibilityMode(4, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL); SetMeshVisibilityMode(5, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL); // Show first station pilot mesh break; break; } }

then based off the station index the mesh shows. but what if no station. as no crew no suits should show


more details.
here the mmsev has no crew. so no suits show.
then added 2 crew guys:
MMSEVUACS:MMSEVUACS ASTR_STATION 0 ASTR_NAME Abdullah Radwan ASTR_ROLE commander ASTR_MASS 80.00 ASTR_OXYGEN 1.00 ASTR_FUEL 1.00 ASTR_ALIVE 1 ASTR_CLASSNAME UACS\Astronauts\NASASuitZ2 ASTR_STATION 1 ASTR_NAME Abdullah Radwan ASTR_ROLE commander ASTR_MASS 80.00 ASTR_OXYGEN 1.00 ASTR_FUEL 1.00 ASTR_ALIVE 1 ASTR_CLASSNAME UACS\Astronauts\NASASuitZ2 LIGHTF SOLAR 0 0.0000 FDOORL 0 0.0000 FDOORR 0 0.0000 ADOORL 1 1.0000 ADOORR 1 1.0000 SOLP 4 0 0 0.0000 CAM 0 0.0000 STATUS Landed Mars POS -102.1971192 -7.0124952 HEADING 348.71 ALT 2.239 AROT 97.910 13.232 -12.322 AFCMODE 7 NAVFREQ 0 0 XPDR 0 END END_SHIPS

but no crew suits show??
reset and now they show.

Working on a cargo vessel.
Is there a way to load cargo like the astronaut? versus loading the cargo into the scenario

I guess I will do the select the station like the slot. So you can select a slot and release,....

 

[Abdullah Radwan]

Oh. In the version you have you said there was an issue where the crew meshes didn't auto load.

I see. The issue is already fixed on my local build. The fix will be deployed on the next release.

You can select and add cargoes using the API just like the Carrier. See the API docs.

 

[gattispilot]

Is the carrier code available? so I can use it for an example?
looking at the API doc also.

[gattispilot]

Thanks
I finally got it to work

 

[gattispilot]

So I found an issue. I added this cargo. and you see it is a bit high. but then exit and restart now it is good?

Left ALt +A add the cargo. what key deploys the cargo and can you set the location?
ALT +R releases. But it just releases where it was attached. Can you make a release point?

 

[gattispilot]

Not sure how to fix this. Your cargo using attachments. BUT in the eagle freighter. You can't see the cargo from the inside view. I have the mesh at meshVIS_Always. if I give it MESHVIS_EXTPASS I can see the cargo from inside. but then the eagle is seen thru the walls also.
