Question Ranger (and other ships) from Interstellar?

gattispilot · Nov 20, 2017

Not sure. We have run into a block on the gateway. The Endurance has 16 cargoes attached. A vessel with attached vessel doesn't seem to go thru.

gattispilot · Dec 14, 2017

So is there a way to add a star vessel into a scn?

We get this with the new Gargantua star .dds. But we don't all stars to look like this.

But I just made a sphere and added the texture. But when I add it all I get a bouncing blue ball.

Well I have run into an issue. The Lander we have 4 airlocks. (top, bottom.left, right).

But if I exit the top or bottom. and try to get back in I get too far from airlock.

Code:

void LANDER6::SetUMMUAirlockPos(void)
{
	int AirlockStatus = Crew.GetAirlockDoorState();
	Crew.SetActiveDockForTransfer(iActiveDockNumber);
	switch (iActiveDockNumber)
	{
	case 0:	//LEFT
		Crew.DefineAirLockShape(AirlockStatus, -6, -2, -4, 3, 6, 9);
		Crew.SetMembersPosRotOnEVA(_V(-4.5, 1.179, 7.6), _V(0, -1.5, 0));

		doorselected = 0;
		break;
	case 1:	//RIGHT
		Crew.DefineAirLockShape(AirlockStatus, 6, 2, -4, 3, 6, 9);
		Crew.SetMembersPosRotOnEVA(_V(4.5, 1.179, 7.6), _V(0, 1.5, 0));
		doorselected = 1;
		break;
	case 2:	//top
		Crew.DefineAirLockShape(AirlockStatus, 1,- 1, 3, 6, 0, 2);
		Crew.SetMembersPosRotOnEVA(_V(0, 5.5, 0), _V(0, 1.5, 0));
		doorselected = 2;
		break;
	case 3:	//bottom
		Crew.DefineAirLockShape(AirlockStatus, 1, -1, -4, 2, 0, 2);
		Crew.SetMembersPosRotOnEVA(_V(0, 1.179, 0), _V(0, 1.5, 0));
		doorselected = 3;
		break;
	}
}

What is odd is the distance from the craft is what it is saying the distance to airlock is?

Well I think I have fixed this.

But now if a Ranger is docked with a Lander. and we want to transfer crew. We get airlock closed.

It is like it is not reconizing the shipa are dock?

I have hit a road block. I hope someone can see what is wrong.

Basically define the crew meshes and set them not to be seen.

Code:

//PILOT SEAT
	meshi_CREW[0] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_PILOT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECM1"));// mesh0
	meshi_CREW[1] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_PILOT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECMO1"));// mesh1
	meshi_CREW[2] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_PILOT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECF1"));// mesh2
	meshi_CREW[3] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_PILOT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECFO1"));// mesh3
	//COPILOT
	meshi_CREW[4] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_COPILOT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECM2"));//mesh4
	meshi_CREW[5] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_COPILOT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECMO2"));//mesh5
	meshi_CREW[6] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_COPILOT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECF2"));//mesh6
	meshi_CREW[7] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_COPILOT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECFO2"));//mesh7
	//LEFT PASS
	meshi_CREW[8] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_PAX_LEFT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECM3"));//mesh8
	meshi_CREW[9] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_PAX_LEFT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECMO3"));//mesh9
	meshi_CREW[10] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_PAX_LEFT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECF3"));//mesh10
	meshi_CREW[11] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_PAX_LEFT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECFO3"));//mesh11
	//RIGHT PASS
	meshi_CREW[12] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_PAX_RIGHT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECM4"));//mesh12
	meshi_CREW[13] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_PAX_RIGHT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECMO4"));//mesh13
	meshi_CREW[14] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_PAX_RIGHT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECF4"));//mesh14
	meshi_CREW[15] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_PAX_RIGHT] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("INTERSTELLAR\\VESSEL\\LANDER\\LANDERCREWECFO4"));//mesh15

	meshi_CREW[16] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_TARS] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal(FILENAME_CREW_TARSLANDER_ANIMATEDNEW));//mesh16
	meshi_CREW[17] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_CASE] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal(FILENAME_CREW_CASE_ANIMATED_B));//mesh17

	for (int i = 0; i < 17; i++)
		SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[i], MESHVIS_NEVER);

	// visual specs
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_Vessel = AddMesh(meshhg_Vessel = oapiLoadMeshGlobal(FILENAME_LANDER16)), MESHVIS_ALWAYS); //Main ship mesh18
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_VC = AddMesh(meshhg_VC = oapiLoadMeshGlobal(FILENAME_LANDER18VC)), MESHVIS_VC);//MESH 19

then if a certain ummu enters displays the correct mesh

Code:

void LANDER6::UpdateCrew() {
	int const crewn = Crew.GetCrewTotalNumber();

	for (int i = 0; i < 17; i++) SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[i], MESHVIS_NEVER);// clears MESHES

	{
		int chair = 0;
		for (int i = 0; i < crewn; i++) {
			const char *pMiscID = Crew.GetCrewMiscIdBySlotNumber(0);
			const char *pMiscID1 = Crew.GetCrewMiscIdBySlotNumber(1);
			const char *pMiscID2 = Crew.GetCrewMiscIdBySlotNumber(2);
			const char *pMiscID3 = Crew.GetCrewMiscIdBySlotNumber(3);
			const char *pMiscID4 = Crew.GetCrewMiscIdBySlotNumber(4);
			const char *pMiscID5 = Crew.GetCrewMiscIdBySlotNumber(5);


			if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID, "TARS", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[16], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

			else if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID, "CASE", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[17], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

			if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID1, "TARS", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[16], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

			else if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID1, "CASE", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[17], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

			if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID2, "TARS", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[16], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

			else if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID2, "CASE", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[17], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

			if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID3, "TARS", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[16], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

			else if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID3, "CASE", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[17], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

			if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID4, "TARS", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[16], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

			else if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID4, "CASE", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[17], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

			if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID5, "TARS", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[16], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

			else if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID5, "CASE", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[17], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

So if the ummu is CASE it shows no mesh [17]. I have changed the number 17 to another mesh and it shows. No idea why mesh#17 will not be seen. Both meshes 16 and 17 are set in the correct spot.

Typo.

Urwumpe · Feb 21, 2018

To be more specific: If you want to have the for-loop run from 0 to 17, you need i < 18 as condition for the loop.

gattispilot · Feb 22, 2018

Thanks.

Code:

	meshi_CREW[16] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_TARS] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal(FILENAME_CREW_TARSLANDER_ANIMATEDNEW));//mesh16
	meshi_CREW[17] = AddMesh(meshhg_CREW[VC_STATION_CASE] = oapiLoadMeshGlobal(FILENAME_CREW_CASE_ANIMATED_B));//mesh17

	for (int i = 0; i < 18; i++)
		SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[i], MESHVIS_NEVER);

Code:

void LANDER6::UpdateCrew() {
	int const crewn = Crew.GetCrewTotalNumber();

	for (int i = 0; i < 18; i++) SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[i], MESHVIS_NEVER);// clears MESHES

	{
		int chair = 0;
		for (int i = 0; i < crewn; i++) {
			const char *pMiscID = Crew.GetCrewMiscIdBySlotNumber(0);
			const char *pMiscID1 = Crew.GetCrewMiscIdBySlotNumber(1);
			const char *pMiscID2 = Crew.GetCrewMiscIdBySlotNumber(2);
			const char *pMiscID3 = Crew.GetCrewMiscIdBySlotNumber(3);
			const char *pMiscID4 = Crew.GetCrewMiscIdBySlotNumber(4);
			const char *pMiscID5 = Crew.GetCrewMiscIdBySlotNumber(5);


			if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID, "TARS", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[16], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

			else if (!_strnicmp(pMiscID, "CASE", 4))
				SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_CREW[17], MESHVIS_ALWAYS);

Still no CASE is showing up.

So if I exit I get this:
LANDER2:LANDER

When I restart CASE is seen.

For some reason I had this set to this to 17 rather than 18
UINT meshi_Vessel, meshi_VC, meshi_CREW[18];

It's not for some reason!
It's either for a reason or it isn't. You should be able to answer this kind of questions by yourself already. C++ is very deterministic!
Keep learning, that usually helps preventing such uncertainties in future code.

Sorry for bumping this, The addon is released but no topic has been made automatically. Heres my question. wasnt there supposed to be documentation on how to operate it?

Not sure what you are asking. Yes released on OH but no thread was started. No idea why?

jgrillo2002 · Mar 14, 2018

All addons have a PDF manual containing instructions and key binds used for the addon. The addon doesnt have this present. You must have forgotten to pack it in the zip.

gattispilot · Mar 14, 2018

Oh. I have updated it. Yes I uploaded the wrong zip

Me too. Then there be the challenge of getting the touchdown points right in the Ranger and Lander.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

So on the Lander I have this for 2016:

Code:

static const int ntdvtx = 3;
static TOUCHDOWNVTX tdvtx[ntdvtx] = {
	{ _V(0, -0.005, 5), 147872, 102004, 3.2, 0.8 },
	{ _V(-2, -0.005, -5), 107872, 62004, 3.2, 0.4 },
	{ _V(2, -0.005, -5), 107872, 62004, 3.2, 0.4 },//,

	
	//	{ _V(-2, 1.6, 1.5), 1e6, 1e5, 3.2, 0 },
	//	{ _V(2, 1.6, 1.5), 1e6, 1e5, 3.2, 0 }
};

Code:

void LANDER6::clbkSetClassCaps(FILEHANDLE cfg)
{
	SetSize(11);
	SetEmptyMass(11000.0);
	SetCW(0.3, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9);
	SetWingAspect(1.7);
	SetWingEffectiveness(2.5);
	SetCrossSections(_V(71.59, 206.57, 50.58));
	SetRotDrag(_V(3.5, 3.5, 3.5));
	if (GetFlightModel() >= 1) {
		SetPitchMomentScale(1e-4);
		SetBankMomentScale(1e-4);
	}
	SetPMI(_V(32.49, 38.14, 23.67));
	SetTrimScale(0.08);
	SetCameraOffset(_V(0, 3, 10.1));
	//SetTouchdownPoints(_V(0, -.003, 5.7), _V(-3.448, -.003, -5.0), _V(3.448, -.003, -5.0));;
	SetTouchdownPoints(tdvtx, ntdvtx);

But it slides off the pad.

The ranger is another thing. The nose is in the ground and the rear gear is in the air.

BenSisko · Mar 15, 2018

To all,
We're aware of the 160828 issues with the Lander and the Ranger and we're working on a fix. We're also anxious to implement Woo482's oMMU to allow us to place a crew in our vessels in lieu of a functioning UMmu. Rest assured the Endurance Space Exploration System for 160828 is being actively developed!

gattispilot · Mar 15, 2018

Also I parked a LAnder on a pad at KSC. Applied Horizon level and slid off the pad into the grass and then to the sun

Put a dg there. set the gear and did the Level and slid off.

So for mass like a parking brake? or more friction?

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

So here is the Ranger You can see she is about nose is in the ground.

Code:

static const int ntdvtx = 3;
static TOUCHDOWNVTX tdvtx[ntdvtx] = {
	{ _V(0, -1.31835, 5), 107872, 62004, 3.2, 0.8 },
	{ _V(-2, -1.31835, -5), 107872, 62004, 3.2, 0.4 },
	{ _V(2, -1.31835, -5), 107872, 62004, 3.2, 0.4 },//,
};

The model is level also.

I thought I would have been landed rather than orbiting?

BenSisko · Mar 16, 2018

I've tried landing both the Lander and Ranger in the pad area of KSC using pads 1 & 2 running Orbiter 160828. Both landings fail. The Lander remains upright but slides off the pad and through an adjacent building. The Ranger also slides off the pad but is pitches nose-down to end up inverted and underground. The Rangers action is likely influenced by the compliance of its landing gear but both ships are affected by the fact that the KSC pad area is not flat. Is there a way to flatten the 160828 KSC pad area? Is this planned for an update to 160828?

Orbiter 2024 has been released!
