Yet a new batch of displacement problems on KSP….

[Lisias]

Fellow Kerbonaut Krazy1 is being bitten by some problems related to part displacements after being scaled.

Album depicting the problem.

Let's see what I get trying these testes on my ACP rig.

I transferred the discussion to KSP-Recall as I'm convinced it's being screwed up by a 3rd-party.

[Lisias]

Well…. Did this a proper try.

This is the Aeris 3A with probe at 2_5M craft (from SPH):

And this is the Krazy1 Shuttle craft, also from SPH: test-ts.zip

(the thing is crazily drifting due my failure on having patience to trim the wheels spring and dumper).

Follows the whole savegame:

None of the described problems could be reproduced, no matter what I did (loading, saving, loading again, loading and going to runway, firing the craft directly into the runway, etc).

[Lisias]

My best guess is something on your rig messing up with Recall - Recall is highly configurable, it's pretty easy to deactivate its features, as I had considered that someone may eventually come up with a better solution and I didn't wanted to be in the way.

Unfortunately, I'm being forced to cogitate that this feature of Recall is being abused by 3rd parties.

Fellow Kerbonaut Krazy1 kindly provided logs and a sample craft:

Archive.zip

[Lisias]

Analysis of the material lead to confirming that AttachedOnEditor is really being deactivated on his rig:

On his craft file, I found:

        MODULE
        {
                name = AttachedOnEditor
                isEnabled = True
                active = False		// <--- HERE!!!

And on mine, I have:

        MODULE
        {
                name = AttachedOnEditor
                isEnabled = True
                active = True		// <--- HERE!!!

I'm trying to figure out why this is happening on the user's machine and not on mine.

[Lisias]

(sigh). Found the problem on my side.

On this commit f1e7d4d , I inadvertently removed this line:

			if (checkForAttachedOnEditor())	tags.Add("KSPRECALL-ATTACHED-ON-EDITOR");

on file ModuleManagerSupport.cs.

f1e7d4d#diff-f42fcc1635a88775e6e9960efa603d00e0696d1d59596f978a5b6e121f2700bb

So it's my fault, but I failed to understand why in fscking hell I didn't got this problem on my test bed!!!!

[Lisias]

Since it's my fault, I'm making it as such. Also, transforming this into a new issue.

[Lisias]

Created issue #65.

So I'm closing this discusssion.
