i have another question.. when trying to enter the crew elevator with an MMU my orbiter program freezes! So basically I cant get in to start systems because there is no one on board! Im on the moon using Dan Stephs Prelude II base, with the Vangaurd on the landing pad.. Everything worked fine until wanted to come back into the ship.. Any ideas whats wrong?
Edit: It seems there is no compatibility between Prelude II base and the Vangaurd at all without editing the text file..
Some Orbiter add-ons are buggy and do not behave correctly when an Orbiter vessel is deleted. When an astronaut re-enters the ship, the vessel that was the UMMu astronaut is deleted. Some add-ons don't like this and can CTD or hang. I recommend a standard troubleshooting approach:
1. Install a
clean Orbiter instance to a new directory.
2. Install OrbiterSound 3.5 and UMMu.
3. Install the Vanguard.
4. Test EVA via the crew elevator.
5. If that works (which it should!), then install Prelude II base.
6. Re-test EVA via the crew elevator.
7. If that fails, it's a bug with Prelude base.
8. Otherwise if it works, keep installing your add-ons one-at-a-time and re-testing
after each one to see which one causes the hang.
Remember that
any add-on can crash or hang Orbiter at any time. I have seen several reports of system hangs when ingressing EVA astronauts, and every single time it has been caused by a buggy third-party add-on. By using a standard troubleshooting apporach as outlined above, however, you can pin down the problem add-on.
