Project Updated SLS for Orbiter 2016 (and 2010)

OK. I may model the new pad/hill like the ssu one so that the touchdown points will remain the same.

This is why I was using attachment points

.

Here are the 2 area to compare. On the top view the green one is the non SSU
On the side view the taller one is the SSU

oK. The SSu mesh LC39_hardstand is a good one without alot of extra structures. So I made a cfg and used that mesh. Then added it and adjusted. no issues. The issue comes when I delete the ssu_pad. I get a CTD and nothing in the log
cfg

MeshName = SSU/LC39A_hardstand

Reproduced in a clean SSU installation. Filed an official ticket for it.

Loopos · Oct 23, 2016

Can someone attach a file, I cant go to the website to download the main thing (dropbox website)?

gattispilot · Oct 23, 2016

ok. Updated my crawler.

But The next think I want to add is the change touchdown points to climb the hill
I have looked at the SSU crawler.

But I have run into some obstacles.

this is not defined:vhLC39

Code:

void SLSCRAWLER::FindLaunchpads()
{
	for (DWORD i = 0; i<oapiGetVesselCount(); i++) {
		OBJHANDLE hVessel = oapiGetVesselByIndex(i);
		if (hVessel && !_strnicmp(oapiGetVesselInterface(hVessel)->GetClassName(), "SLS_Pad", 7)) {
			vhLC39.push_back(hVessel);
			//oapiWriteLog("Found pad");
		}
	}
}

but it is in the h

Code:

	OBJHANDLE hEarth;
	std::vector<OBJHANDLE> vhLC39;

};

Code:

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

	// check distance from pads; adjust touchdown points to simulate going up ramp
	for (unsigned int i = 0; i < vhLC39.size(); i++) {
		//VESSEL* pV=oapiGetVesselInterface(vhLC39[i]);

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

		if (UpdateTouchdownPoints(rpos)) break;
	}


}

Not sure where UltraMath.h is?

Code:

	3	IntelliSense: identifier "range" is undefined	e:\orbiter2010p1A\Orbitersdk\samples\SLSCRAWLER\SLSCRAWLER.H	76	46	SLSCRAWLER

Looks awesome gattispilot! Wish I could help you with the code.

DaveS · Oct 24, 2016

gattispilot said:

In libUltra\src.

gattispilot · Oct 24, 2016

I got it to compile. But not sure what adjustments need to happen.in the scenario:

SLS_Pad:SLS\LP39PAD

But the touchdown are the same.

Code:

void SLSCRAWLER::FindLaunchpads()
{
    for (DWORD i = 0; i<oapiGetVesselCount(); i++) {
        OBJHANDLE hVessel = oapiGetVesselByIndex(i);
        if (hVessel && !_strnicmp(oapiGetVesselInterface(hVessel)->GetClassName(), "SLS_Pad", 7)) {
            vhLC39.push_back(hVessel);
            //oapiWriteLog("Found pad");
        }
    }
}

So it finds the sls_pad vessel

Well I went to these touchdown point and now the crawler is under the ground tilted.

I think I like the old touchdown.

Code:

    SetTouchdownPoints(_V(0, jackHeight + curFrontHeight, 20.0), _V(-15, jackHeight + curFrontHeight, -20.0), _V(15, jackHeight + curFrontHeight, -20.0));;

---------- Post added 10-24-16 at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was 10-23-16 at 06:52 PM ----------

oK. looking at the code:

Code:

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

    // check distance from pads; adjust touchdown points to simulate going up ramp
    for (unsigned int i = 0; i < vhLC39.size(); i++) {
        //VESSEL* pV=oapiGetVesselInterface(vhLC39[i]);

        VECTOR3 rpos = CalcRelSurfPos(vhLC39[i], vs);
        sprintf(oapiDebugString(), "xdf %2.2fzdf %2.2f ydf %2.2f",  rpos.x, rpos.z, rpos.y);

        if (UpdateTouchdownPoints(rpos)) break;
    }


}

when i run the debugger I get vhLC39.size=0

Code:

void SLSCRAWLER::FindLaunchpads()
{
    for (DWORD i = 0; i<oapiGetVesselCount(); i++) {
        OBJHANDLE hVessel = oapiGetVesselByIndex(i);
        if (hVessel && !_strnicmp(oapiGetVesselInterface(hVessel)->GetClassName(), "SLS_Pad", 7)) {
            vhLC39.push_back(hVessel);
            //oapiWriteLog("Found pad");
        }
    }
}

Not sure why the size is not picking up as the size of the sls_pad?

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 AM ----------

DaveS · Oct 24, 2016

You're confusing the vessel name with the class name. This is from OrbiterConfig.pdf, p. 30. The code looks for the class name, not the vessel name. So you need to rename your cfg to SLS_Pad.cfg for it to work.

gattispilot · Oct 24, 2016

Ok I rename the cfg and scn.

Code:

SLS_Pad:SLS_Pad
  STATUS Landed Earth

the same size. 0

Could you uncomment //oapiWriteLog("Found pad"); in FindLaunchPads? This way it will write to the orbiter.log file if it has found the pad. This will demonstrate if the code is actually doing something.

gattispilot · Oct 27, 2016

I did

Got the lift animation correct:

So on the steering. So the trucks rotate 6 degrees either way, right? But looking at the drawings the tube do not, right?
Animating the rods might be the challenge as they are are part of the suspension.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 AM ----------

Ok. It see the hill. But look at the values;

Code:

-		rpos	{data=0x00a7fe28 {3.9993623854188532e+073, 0.00000000000000000, 3.9993623854188532e+073} x=3.9993623854188532e+073 ...}	VECTOR3

Code:

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

---------- Post added 10-26-16 at 06:05 AM ---------- Previous post was 10-25-16 at 05:15 PM ----------

Ok got the animations to work. I am going to make it so you can only steer when body is NOT extended.

But on the climbing the hill.

The code looks to see if you are on the hill

Code:

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)

LC39_RAMP_START=392

Code:

-		relPos	{data=0x00a7fe28 {3.9993623854188532e+073, 0.00000000000000000, 3.9993623854188532e+073} x=3.9993623854188532e+073 ...}	const VECTOR3 &

dist=

Code:

		dist	5.6559525263041564e+073	double

Code:

		front_dist	5.6559525263041564e+073	double

Code:

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

Code:

-		vhLC39	{ size=1 }	std::vector<void *,std::allocator<void *> >

So for some reason it shows the pad VERY far away

---------- Post added 10-27-16 at 05:58 AM ---------- Previous post was 10-26-16 at 06:05 AM ----------

So Here is I see the process.

Code:

void SLSCRAWLER::clbkPreStep(double simt, double simdt, double mjd) {
	if (!firstTimestepDone) DoFirstTimestep();


	// check distance from pads; adjust touchdown points to simulate going up ramp
	for (unsigned int i = 0; i<vhLC39.size(); i++) {
		
	// check distance from pads; adjust touchdown points to simulate going up ramp
	
		//VESSEL* pV=oapiGetVesselInterface(vhLC39[i]);
//	for (unsigned int i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
	rpos = CalcRelSurfPos(vhLC39[i], vs);
		sprintf(oapiDebugString(), "xdf %2.2fzdf %2.2f ydf %2.2f",  rpos.x, rpos.z, rpos.y);

		if (UpdateTouchdownPoints(rpos)) break;
	}


}

Code:

void SLSCRAWLER::DoFirstTimestep() {

	//SetView();

	FindLaunchpads();
	hEarth = GetGravityRef();

	//oapiGetHeading(GetHandle(), &targetHeading);

	//if (!standalone) {
	//	hMLP = GetAttachmentStatus(ahMLP);
	//	if (hMLP) {
	//		// find point on MLP we are attached to
	//		VESSEL* pMLP = oapiGetVesselInterface(hMLP);
	//		for (DWORD i = 0; i<pMLP->AttachmentCount(true); i++) {
	//			ATTACHMENTHANDLE aH = pMLP->GetAttachmentHandle(true, i);
	//			if (pMLP->GetAttachmentStatus(aH) == GetHandle()) hMLPAttach = aH;
	//		}
	//	}
	//}
	firstTimestepDone = true;
}
void SLSCRAWLER::FindLaunchpads()
{
	for (DWORD i = 0; i<oapiGetVesselCount(); i++) {
		OBJHANDLE hVessel = oapiGetVesselByIndex(i);
		if (hVessel && !_strnicmp(oapiGetVesselInterface(hVessel)->GetClassName(), "SLS_Pad", 7)) {
			vhLC39.push_back(hVessel);
			oapiWriteLog("Found pad");
		}
	}
}

So find launchpads.
So here is the values it comes back for relpos:

Code:

+		relPos	{data=0x05c5f7f0 {3.9993623854188532e+073, 0.00000000000000000, 3.9993623854188532e+073} x=3.9993623854188532e+073 ...}	const VECTOR3 &

Even though I move the crawler no change.

so then it checks to see if the vessel is near the edge of the pad

Code:

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)

Code:

		dist	5.6559525263041564e+073	double

So it will not change the touchdowns since it doesn't think it is near the pad.

Not sure how to fix.

Code:

VECTOR3 SLSCRAWLER::CalcRelSurfPos(OBJHANDLE hVessel, const VESSELSTATUS2& vs) const
{

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

Code:

		surf_lng	-6.2774385622041925e+066	double
		surf_lat	-6.2774385622041925e+066	double

Code:

		padLong	-9.2559631349317831e+061	double
		padRad	-9.2559631349317831e+061	double
		padLat	-9.2559631349317831e+061	double

So look at the lat and long they are the same?

Hey Gattispilot,

I can't help you with that sorry.

h:But do you know how I can solve this? For the SLS 1b I'm sending Orion and a hab module to space. The Orion detaches from the upperstage, moves out of the way for Universal Stage Adapter jettison and after this I want the Orion to dock to the hab module which is a payload of the SLS/EUS.

Problem is the hab module is attached to the EUS and it seems impossible to dock to the Orion with the hab. I get the docking sound confirming dock but it still floats freely around. Now I've read that this probably because the hab is a child attachment to the EUS and docking to a child is buggy. Is this correct?

I thought about making a docking port to the EUS so the hab can be docked to the EUS and the Orion would have no problem docking to the hab. But with Multistage I'm not sure where to begin and if I can make this work.

Must a module be made for the EUS to add a docking port to solve this issue?

gattispilot · Oct 27, 2016

Well Can you detach the hab from the EUS. Well I think in the cfg you can add a docking port

Longjap · Oct 27, 2016

Thanks but I don't want to detach the hab from the EUS. It has to stay connected. I want to build a stack for manned deep space exploration. For now: EUS>Hab>Orion

gattispilot · Oct 28, 2016

Well I would dock with the Hab. and then exit. The scn should show it docked.

So if I put this in the prestep in debug I get a break

Code:

if (vs.status == 1) {
        lon = vs.surf_lng;
        lat = vs.surf_lat;
        lastHead = vs.surf_hdg;
    }
    else if (lastLatLongSet) {
        lon = lastLong;
        lat = lastLat;
        vs.surf_hdg = lastHead;

    }
    else return;

I am not sure why the padlong,padlat and pad rad are all the same number?

Code:

VECTOR3 SLSCRAWLER::CalcRelSurfPos(OBJHANDLE hVessel, const VESSELSTATUS2& vs) const
{
    double padLat, padLong, padRad;
    oapiGetEquPos(hVessel, &padLong, &padLat, &padRad);
    return _V(padLong*oapiGetSize(hEarth) - vs.surf_lng*oapiGetSize(hEarth), 0.0, padLat*oapiGetSize(hEarth) - vs.surf_lat*oapiGetSize(hEarth));
}

I put a break in and get:

padRad 6371016.9970000004 double
padLat 0.49963334547989935 double

but the vs.surf info is;
surf_lng -6.2774385622041925e+066 double
surf_lat -6.2774385622041925e+066 double

Code:

void SLSCRAWLER::clbkPreStep(double simt, double simdt, double mjd) {
    if (!firstTimestepDone) DoFirstTimestep();

    //double lat, lon;
    //vs.version = 2;
    //GetStatusEx(&vs);
//
     
        //lon = vs.surf_lng;
        //lat = vs.surf_lat;
    //    lastHead = vs.surf_hdg;
    
        VECTOR3 dir = _V(sin(lastHead ), cos(lat) * cos(lastHead ), 0);
        dir /= length(dir);
        lon += dir.x * simdt / oapiGetSize(hEarth);
        lat += dir.y *  simdt / oapiGetSize(hEarth);
        vs.surf_lng = lon;
        vs.surf_lat = lat;
        vs.status = 1;
        DefSetStateEx(&vs);

        lastLat = lat;
        lastLong = lon;
        lastHead = vs.surf_hdg;
        lastLatLongSet = true;






    // check distance from pads; adjust touchdown points to simulate going up ramp
    for (unsigned int i = 0; i<vhLC39.size(); i++) {
        
    // check distance from pads; adjust touchdown points to simulate going up ramp
    
        //VESSEL* pV=oapiGetVesselInterface(vhLC39[i]);
//    for (unsigned int i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
    rpos = CalcRelSurfPos(vhLC39[i], vs);
        sprintf(oapiDebugString(), "xdf %2.2fzdf %2.2f ydf %2.2f",  rpos.x, rpos.z, rpos.y);

        if (UpdateTouchdownPoints(rpos)) break;
    }


}

So it should get the pad long and lat and rad and see how far it is away from the crawler Not sure why that is not working

Well I added more code when i run the debugger I get a break.

Code:

double lat, lon;
    vs.version = 2;
    GetStatusEx(&vs);

    if (vs.status == 1) {
        lon = vs.surf_lng;
        lat = vs.surf_lat;
        lastHead = vs.surf_hdg;
    }
    else if (lastLatLongSet) {
        lon = lastLong;
        lat = lastLat;
        vs.surf_hdg = lastHead;

    }
    else return;

here is the prestep code:

Code:

void SLSCRAWLER::clbkPreStep(double simt, double simdt, double mjd) {
	if (!firstTimestepDone) DoFirstTimestep();

	//double lat, lon;
	//vs.version = 2;

		//lon = vs.surf_lng;
		//lat = vs.surf_lat;
	//	lastHead = vs.surf_hdg;
	double lat, lon;
	vs.version = 2;
	GetStatusEx(&vs);

	if (vs.status == 1) {
		lon = vs.surf_lng;
		lat = vs.surf_lat;
		lastHead = vs.surf_hdg;
	}
	else if (lastLatLongSet) {
		lon = lastLong;
		lat = lastLat;
		vs.surf_hdg = lastHead;

	}
	else return;

		if (vs.surf_hdg >= 2.0 * PI) vs.surf_hdg -= 2.0 * PI;

		double headingOffset = -(steeringActual[1] + steeringActual[0]) * MAX_TURN_ANGLE / 2.0;

		lastLong = lon;
		lastHead = vs.surf_hdg;

	// check distance from pads; adjust touchdown points to simulate going up ramp

		if (UpdateTouchdownPoints(rpos)) break;
	}


}

gattispilot · Oct 29, 2016

I may be done with this.
What we need is to figure the pad location, crawler and get a distance.
this should do it but the vs.surf.lat and log are all the same.

Code:

VECTOR3 SLSCRAWLER::CalcRelSurfPos(OBJHANDLE hVessel, const VESSELSTATUS2& vs) const
{
	double padLat, padLong, padRad;
	oapiGetEquPos(hVessel, &padLong, &padLat, &padRad);
	return _V(padLong*oapiGetSize(hEarth) - vs.surf_lng*oapiGetSize(hEarth), 0.0, padLat*oapiGetSize(hEarth) - vs.surf_lat*oapiGetSize(hEarth));
}

So that is messing with the distance

Hey guys, is this compatible with Orbiter 2010?

Ha, I noticed the link was dead. I've updated it.

I just tested it and it is. Well, sort of.

The particle streams are enormously big in my version. Also the location of the launchpad is off. I'll have to sort that out.

Make sure you remove the 2016 Vesta planet from the SLS_Sol.cfg in the config folder, and number the planets correct after removal. Also download the latest D3D9 client of Jarmonik for 2010 to make it work. http://d3d9client.codeplex.com/releases/view/598601

And of course download the 2010 version of Multistage2015 in stead of 2016 version.

I'll make a zip for 2010 Orbiter for the people who want to use it in 2010.

Thanks, I noticed Vesta problem when it first crashed. For me, I'll continue to use Orbiter 2010 until Ummu starts working for 2016 and more addons are supported.

ok I thought I had progress as the crawler was spinning around. So I started to debug. But I get a break right after the arrow.
