she moves put she now points up and at angle. But she will move forward and back. On left and right spins on x axis

MATRIX3 rot2 = RotationMatrix(_V((-Lat)*RAD, 0, 0 * RAD), TRUE);

wrong.

it will point up anyway, you will have to add a rotation around x axis.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks.

So rot 2 controls the x axis? But the vessel pointing up would be on the y, right.

Rot 1 seems to control the y axis.

rot 1 changes long
rot 2 changes lat
correct?
So You said I need to add a rotation around the x axis, not sure what that would look like? rot3?

 

[fred18]

you have to study a bit rotation matrixes, it's not so easy, because the order of how rotations are applied changes the result.

rot 1 changes applies a rotation so the vessel will be correctly oriented at that longitude, rot 2 does the same for latitude. but that is built for a vessel pointing the nose up, so there should be another rotation. if it's applied before or later that changes a lot of things, also on respect to heading. I will have to study that for the MS2015 crawler, but it takes some reasoning to get the result, I don't know immediatly

So rot 2 controls the x axis? But the vessel pointing up would be on the y, right.

rotation should be made around x axis to have it correctly pointed. but that's achievable also by rotating around y 90deg and then around z other 90 deg... it's a very tricky topic

 

[gattispilot]

Ok Thanks. What if I just rotate the mesh 90 degrees. So the mesh will be level when moving.

Away from a PC now. But will try some thing

you can do that, and remember to rotate also the cockpit direction.

 

[gattispilot]

Do you mean the camera direction?

But the left and right still spin.

Thanks

Well I guess I could use thrust/force to move her. But then it becomes an issue of telling how far the launch pad is from the crawler.

yes camera direction inside the vehicle. No thrust is needed, the whole thing here is to have a stable movement without applying forces which will make it unstable...

 

[gattispilot]

ok. Well I will rotate the mesh 90 degrees out. That should fix the forward and back. But I will look at the left/ right. So before if the direction was 0,0,0 it will be 0,1,0?

If this works I can change the attachment also.
Thanks

the direction 0,0,0 does not exist. it's a null vector.

 

[gattispilot]

I meant 0,0,1 for the default camera

Ok. I rotated the mesh.

But it still is not level.
Do I need to change the orientation in the touchdown points?

Rather than alter the mesh. Could I just adapt your hack for the ms crawler

---------- Post added 11-19-16 at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was 11-18-16 at 02:33 PM ----------

The 2010 Crawler works good.

On the 2016 since fred's ms crawler not sure if I couldn't just use his hack.

As far as thrust goes. I have a sc4 version and it does good. BUT then the 2nd part comes into play. Determining how far from the launchpad comes into play.

 

[Loopos]

Try these textures and overwrite the previous files. See if it resolves the bug. Let me know if it works. Thanks! -Longjap

Hi Longjap thx for the textures sorry but the textures don't really work,they just make the game crashing more frequent with your scenarios.

 

[gattispilot]

Ok. I got the slscrawler to move in 2016 using Fred's hack.

But now to get her to climb. I think the issue might be using different vs version?

if (FWD)
		{

			VESSELSTATUS2 vs2;
			memset(&vs2, 0, sizeof(vs2));
			vs2.version = 2;
			GetStatusEx(&vs2);

			double d_lat = (Speed*oapiGetSimStep()*cos(vs2.surf_hdg)) / each_deg;
			double d_lng = (Speed*oapiGetSimStep()*sin(vs2.surf_hdg)) / each_deg;
			vs2.surf_lat += d_lat*RAD;
			vs2.surf_lng += d_lng*RAD;

			if (oapiGetOrbiterVersion()<160903)
			{
				FILEHANDLE fh = oapiOpenFile("SLSCRAWLER", FILE_OUT, CONFIG);
				oapiWriteScenario_string(fh, "STATUS", "Landed Earth");
				oapiWriteScenario_float(fh, "HEADING", vs2.surf_hdg*DEG);
				char position[256];
				sprintf(position, "%.20f %.20f", vs2.surf_lng*DEG, vs2.surf_lat*DEG);
				oapiWriteScenario_string(fh, "POS", position);
				oapiCloseFile(fh, FILE_OUT);
				fh = oapiOpenFile("SLSCRAWLER", FILE_IN, CONFIG);
				clbkLoadStateEx(fh, &vs2);
				oapiCloseFile(fh, FILE_IN);
			}
			DefSetStateEx(&vs2);
			return;
		}

So not to see if we are near the pad:

void SLSCRAWLER::clbkPreStep(double simt, double simdt, double mjd) {

	MoveAround(FWD, BWD, LFT, RGT);
	if (!firstTimestepDone) DoFirstTimestep();
	for (unsigned int i = 0; i<vhLC39.size(); i++) {
		//VESSEL* pV=oapiGetVesselInterface(vhLC39[i]);

		VECTOR3 rpos = CalcRelSurfPos(vhLC39[i], vs);

		if (UpdateTouchdownPoints(rpos)) break;
	}
}

rpos comes up as 0,0,0

oK. I have this. It now reads the dist from the pad.

	vs2.version = 2;
	GetStatusEx(&vs2);


	oapiGetEquPos(hVessel, &padLong, &padLat, &padRad);

	return _V(padLong*oapiGetSize(hEarth) - vs2.surf_lng*oapiGetSize(hEarth), 0.0, padLat*oapiGetSize(hEarth) - vs2.surf_lat*oapiGetSize(hEarth));
}

vs2.surf_lng -1.4068061905913325 double
dist 456.73414203496071 double

I have a break here

bool SLSCRAWLER::UpdateTouchdownPoints(const VECTOR3 &relPos)
{
	//double front_dist, back_dist;
	double dist = length(relPos);
	double dCos = cos(lastHead);

	front_dist = dist - 20.0*abs(dCos);
	back_dist = dist + 20.0*abs(dCos);
		sprintf(oapiDebugString(), "dist %2.2f  frtdist %2.2fbackdist %2.2f ", dist, front_dist, back_dist);

	// ramp to LC39 starts 390 m from pad and ends 131.5 m from pad
	if (front_dist < LC39_RAMP_START && abs(relPos.x)<10.0)

if I continue I get a hard break.

Hi Longjap thx for the textures sorry but the textures don't really work,they just make the game crashing more frequent with your scenarios.

Hmm, but it's not very clear to me if the EUS shows up now i.e. no transparent textures any more?
I experience some instability too with the scenario's but only if I reload them. Not when clean from the start.

Can you post the log file to check what's going on?

 

[gattispilot]

Can you tell us which scenario also?

Thx, I think you're using an older scenario from previous versions. I don't see any calls for the SLS/adapter.msh in the config for the new block Ib cargo. Only the two scenario's (EM1, SLS Block 1b Cargo) given in the last download are expected to work. Not the older ones.

I change the Y value here and no change.

But here is the change touchdown code.

	SetTouchdownPoints(_V(0, newytouch, 20.0), _V(-15, newytouch, -20.0), _V(15, newytouch, -20.0));;

I know it gets there as the values are displayed on the screen.

Ok. I reloaded the .3 zip and got the missing eus. Then downloaded the new textures zip and all is there.

But on the crawler. For some reason touchdown points do not effect the ship. The values show are what the Y value should be.

I made a thrust moving version and the touchdown points change so it looks like the VS2 moving might be the issue.

So how to i tell the crawler how far and relative position without the vs2 stuff? Or as it has been suggested to change the (rpos) of the vessel. Need help on both

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 AM ----------

So if I just thrust to move The touchdown points move. So how do I tell if distance from pad is 330 then do something.
I have been told to use this
• OAPIFUNC void oapiGetRelativePos (OBJHANDLE hObj, OBJHANDLE hRef, VECTOR3∗pos) Returns the distance vector from hRef to hObj in the ecliptic reference frame.

Not sure what the code would look like.
The hRef would be the SLS_pad
hObj would be the crawler

I hope I get help

SUCCESS!!!!!!!
Thanks to Fred18

The crawler can climb the hill in 2016. I am using thrust to move her.

As they say the devil is in the details. I need to get the animations to work.

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 AM ----------

So this is weird.

In 2010 the y value of the touchdown down increase so it starts at .001 and goes to 13.5 at the top of the hill

BUT in 2016 the more negative the number the higher the vessel gets placed.

---------- Post added 11-25-16 at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was 11-24-16 at 06:09 PM ----------

I am at a loss. It seems when the crawler reaches a certain height it starts to nose down. And if you let it travel past the pad it levels out

test of y touchdown

Touchdown and front and back height are the same. So it should be level

[/IMG]
here it leveled out.

Any ideas?

Hey Longjap, I saw in your previous post that you were using Blender, can you teach me how to add the Orbiter mesh file to the Import Export files? Please put the codes for the python script ( if needed).
Oh yea btw, when will you release the update for SLS-Orion Block IB ( I only have the Block IB Cargo)
-Thanks!

 

[gattispilot]

Well I used shift mesh and adjusted camera and attachment points.

But detaching the tower gets a spinning tower.

Hi! I use the excellent import / export addon by vlad.
http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=18661

All instructions are in the thread. Importing is very simple after installing. Just click "import orbiter mesh" IIRC and navigate to the mesh you want to import. Make sure to tick the box "include modifiers" in the export window if using them while exporting.

The Block Ib Orion is in the finishing stages. It relies for now on spacecraft4 which is not completely compatible. I'm still in doubt if I will include a Hab module to the stack or if I let the users choose their own payload to add. (Which always possible of course within Multistage) I think I can upload the IB Orion next week.

I've gotten pretty busy IRL now so I don't have the time I had to continue developing but progress is still steadily going forward.
