Wild Blue Tools

A KSP mod that provides common functionality for mods by Wild Blue Industries.

---INSTALLATION---

Copy the contents of the mod's GameData directory into your GameData folder.

1.71.0
- Fixed duplicate Extraplanetary Launchpad OmniConverter templates.
- Fixed ability to reconfigure deflated parts.
- Misc. Bug fixes
- Moved Pathfinder's GoldStrike to Wild Blue Tools.
- You can now prospect at any time, but some resources won't be found unless you travel a certain minimum distance (hint: 3km is typical).
- Sample GOLDSTRIKE config node:
GOLDSTRIKE
{
	resourceName = Aurum

	//Restricts where the resource can be found. Separate multiple types by semicolon. Options: Planetary;Oceanic;Atmospheric;Exospheric. Planetary is default.
	resourceTypes = Planetary

	//List of planet names, separated by semicolon, where the resource can be found. Default: Any, which means any planet can have the resource.
	planetsFound = Any

	//List of biome names, separated by semicolon, where the resource can be found. Default: Any, which means any biome can have the resource.
	biomesFound = Any

	//The minimum distance in kilometers between prospect attempts required in order to include the resource among the possible prospected resources.
	//Default is 3 kilometers.
	//Ex: Aurum, Gemstones, and PreciousMetals all require you to travel at least 3 kilometers before they become available. Assume that Blutonium could be found every 5km.
	//If you only travel 2km before making a prospect attempt, then none of the resources will be found. If you travel 6km, then Aurum, Gemstones, PreciousMetals, and Blutonium
	//will all be potential candidates for prospecting. You still need to make a successful prospecting check to obtain a node.
	minProspectDistance = 3

	//Minimum required altitude in order for the resource to be a prospecting candidate. Can be negative for below sea level. Default is a double.MinValue.
	//minAltitude = 0

	//Maxiumum required altitude in order for the resource to be a prospecting candidate. Can be negative for below sea level. Default is double.MaxValue.
	//maxAltitude = -1000

	//If near an anomaly, some resources are more likely to occur than others. This parameter indicates how likely the resource will be found near an anomaly.
	//anomalyChance = 65

	//Minimum units in the lode
	minAmount = 200

	//Maximum units in the lode
	maxAmount = 4000

	//Roll well enough, and multiply the lode size by this multiplier
	motherlodeMultiplier = 1.5
}

1.60
Last release for KSP 1.4.5!

WBIOmniStorage
- You can now specify a maxAmountMultiplier on individual resources within an OMNIRESOURCECOMBO. Just add the field to a RESOURCE node. It defaults to 1.0. This field will take the final amount of units that a part can hold for the given combo resource and multiply it by maxAmountMultiplier.
- You now have the ability to decouple resources within a resource combo and adjust their amounts individually.

WBIOmniConverter
- Converters can now produce one or more resources that are specified by a YIELD_RESOURCE node after a set amount of time has passed. Check out the Greenhouse converter template in Templates/ClassicStock/OmniConverters.cfg for an example.
- Converters have the option to require a die roll to determine if the resource yield succeeds, fails, critically succeeds, or critically fails. This only applies to resources defined by YIELD_RESOURCE nodes. To enable, set minimumSuccess, criticalSuccess, and criticalFailure to values greater than 0 on an OMNICONVERTER template.
- Converters can now support background processing (They run even when the vessel is unloaded). USE SPARINGLY! Too much background processing will slow the game down. For performance reasons, converters are run in the background once every six in-game hours. To enable, set enableBackgroundProcessing = true in an OMNICONVERTER template node.
- Converters now support effects. You can specify a startEffect, stopEffect, and runningEffect.

PROTIP: If you don't specify any templateNodes, then you can still set up an OmniConverter to work like a regular ModuleResourceConverter, but with the extra benefits of playing Effects, timed resource production with optional success checks, and background processing (yes, you can set it at the part module's config node if you don't use omni converter templates).

Classic Stock
- Added new Greenhouse OmniCoverter template. It's only available if Snacks is installed. It will produce Snacks after 180 hours. There's a chance that the yield will be higher than normal, lower than normal, or fail completely. It also runs in the background.
- The Haber Process, Composter, Snack Grinder, and Organic Chips Omni Converters will now convert their resources even when the vessel is unloaded and out of physics range.

Bug fixes
- Fixed issue where switching Play Modes would cause some files to not be renamed and cause all kinds of fun for players...

1.59
WBIOmniStorage
- Added new MAX_AMOUNT_MODIFIER node that can be used to increase the storage capacity of a particular resource. See the new OmniStorageModifiers.cfg file located in Templates/Common for details.

Classic Stock
- Fixed issue with OmniConverters incorrectly displaying "missing" status after changing the recipie.
- OmniConverters will now properly prepare their conversion recipie after you change what they convert.
- Fixed OPAL Processor not being able to produce Water when the part lacks the Water resource.

Bug Fixes & Enhancements
- The Ops Manager will again update its button tabs when you change configurations.

1.58

- Improved resource summary in the geology lab.
- Fixed NRE issues with the WBIProspector.
- Classic Stock play mode now provides a new storage template: Omni Storage. This template lets you add and configure any number of resources up to the container's maximum storage volume. The part module that handles the capability is the new WBIOmniStorage.
- Added the new WBIOmniConverter. It lets you configure individual converters from a set of converter templates. There are a number of pre-defined templates for Classic Stock play mode.
- Adjusted Classic Stock resource densities to reflect the 5-liter standard used by most stock resources.
- Adjusted Classic Stock storage capacities to reflect the 5-liter standard used by most stock resources. These changes will affect new parts and when you reconfigure an existing part.

- WBIModuleScienceExperiment can now check for proximity to an anomaly as a requirement.
- New experiment result: WBIUnlockTechResult - You can use this experiment result to flag one or more parts as experimental. Just like with a part test contract, an experimental part can be used even if its tech node is unlocked.
- Added new Breakthrough Research contract. It makes use of the WBIUnlockTechResult module described above.
- New WBIModuleAsteroidResource allows you to guarantee that a resource will be available if the asteroid is a magic boulder.
- New WBIToolTipManager can read PART_TIP config nodes and provide tips to players. It's an alternate way to teach players how to use specific parts and handy for those who don't read the KSPedia, part descriptions, or wiki pages.
- Many updates for Classic Stock play mode - thanks JadeOfMarr! :)

Refinery

The Refinery is an new app available at the space center and in flight. It lets you produce and/or store resources in limited amounts. Such resources could be rare and not readily available for purchase. In fact, if you try to launch a craft with Refinery resources, those resources will be cleared before pre-launch. Once you launch the craft, you can purchase the Refinery resource, and when you recover the craft, its Refinery resources will be stored in the Refinery up to its maximum capacity.

Refinery nodes specify resources that are produced and/or stored in the Refinery.
You can specify one or more Refinery nodes with the same resource. Each node will become a production tier and appear in the order that you list them in the config file. Below is an example.

//New tiers appear in the same order as these nodes appear in the config file.
REFINERY
{
	resourceName = Graviolium

	//Optional tech node required to unlock the tier.
	techRequired = wbiSaucerTechnologies

	//How many units per day of the resource to produce
	//Set to 0 if you want to just store the resource and not produce it.
	unitsPerDay = 10

	//Multiplied by the resource's unit cost to determine the cost to produce a unit of the resource.
	unitCostMultiplier = 1.75

	//Maximum number of units that can be stored at the Refinery.
	maxAmount = 50000

	//The cost to unlock the production tier
	unlockCost = 250000
}

1.40
- Streamlined the WBIModuleResourceConverter
- WBIProspector now supports one or more harvest types.
- WBIProspector can now prospect resources from the atmosphere, exosphere, ocean, and planet.

1.31.2
- Bug Fixes

1.39.1
- Cruise Control fix for single-mode engines. They still need ModuleEnginesFX though.
- Fix for deprecated parts.
- ModuleManager update.

1.39

New Props
- Disco Ball: With spinning lights!
- Dance Floor: Animated dance floor!
- Jukebox: Actually plays music! Music files must be in the .ogg format and go in the 000WildBlueTools/Music folder.

ARP Icons
Added new Alternate Resource Panel icons courtesy of JadeOfMaar. These look great! :)

Bug Fixes And Enhancements
- Fixed missing resource requirements when templates require multiple resources.
- Inflatable parts can now be inflated only once.
- Added new WBICruiseControl part module. WBICruiseControl must be placed after your engine part module and multimode switch modules. It enables you to conduct engine burns during timewarp. NOTE: Heat mechanics don't work during cruise control, this is a known limitation. To use cruise control, be sure to set the desired throttle in the context menu, and set the fuel reserve percentage. Finally turn on Cruise Control. Then engage timewarp. Note that KSP doesn't allow you to adjust the controls in the context menu during timewarp, that's a game limitation.


1.38
- Bug fixes.

1.37
- Fixed missing resource icons.

1.36
- Far Future Technologies support: NuclearSaltWater used in place of Explodium.
- The Docking port helper now supports docking ports making use of WBILight. Hence, ports light up and you can set the color on the light.

- The S.A.F.E.R. fuel supply will last up to 10.86 years of continuous output.
- Fix for parts not remembering what template they're using.
- Blutonium and NuclearFuel are now Flow Mode all vessel. Reactors that use them are still restricted to resources in the part itself.
- Added NuclearWaste resource for Classic Stock.
- The S.A.F.E.R. now produces NuclearWaste as part of its outputs. With Pathfinder installed, it can be reprocessed into NuclearFuel.

1.28
- KIS storage volumes now properly calculated.
- Code cleanup
- Play Mode selection moved from Pathfinder to Wild Blue Tools.
- Added new Classic Stock play mode.
- CRP is now a separate download.

1.26
- BARIS is now an optional download as originally intended- just took awhile for me to figure out how to make that work. DO NOT DELETE the 000ABARISBridgeDoNotDelete FOLDER! That plugin is the bridge between this mod and BARIS.
- Recalibrated templates for Cryo Engines and added cryo tank cooling to LiquidHydrogen storage.

1.25
- BARIS update.

1.7.3
- Fixed an issue where the greenhouse would freeze the game on load.

1.7.0
Updated to KSP 1.2. Expect additional patches as KSP is fixed and mods are updated.

1.6.5
- Growth time is no longer reduced based upon experienced Scientists. Yield is still affected by experience though.
- Greenhouses now show where they're at in the growth cycle and show up in the Ops Manager.

1.6.0
- Experiments can now be created in the field by some labs. To that end, experiments have the option to specify what resources they need and how much. If not specified, then a default value will be used that's equal to the experiment mass times 10 in the default resource, or a minimum amount of the default resource, whichever is greater.
- Labs have the ability to restrict the experiments they create based upon a list of tags. Hence experiments may list a set of tags as well. If an experiment has no tags that match the tags required by the lab then it won't show up in the list of experiments that it can create.
- Experiments can now require asteroids with a minimum mass.
NOTE: Basic and DeepFreeze experiments are now located in WildBlueTools; there is no effect to MOLE users.

1.3.11
- Added WBISelfDestruct and WBIOmniDecouple.
- If fuel tanks are arrayed symmetrically, you'll no longer be able to reconfigure them. It's either that or let the game explode (ie nothing I can do about it except prevent players from changing symmetrical tanks).

1.3.3 Science Overhaul

- Experiment Manifest and transfer screens now list the part they're associated with.
- Fixed an issue where experiment info wasn't showing up in the VAB/SPH.
- The Load Experiment window now appears slightly offset from the Manifest window to make it easier to distinguish that you're now loading experiments into the part.

- Fixed an issue where experiments wouldn't show up after reloading a craft.

1.3.2
- New props

1.3.1
- Added Local Operations Manager window to enable controlling all PartModules on all vessels within physics range that implement IOpsView. This is used by mods such as Pathfinder.
- Added Slag and Konkrete resources, templates, and icons.
- Added WBIProspector and WBIAsteroidProcessor. These PartModules can convert non-ElectricCharge resources into all the resources available in a biome/asteroid, and can produce a byproduct resource. A typical use is to convert Ore/Rock into the locally available resources and Slag.
- The Rockhound template now uses the new WBIAsteroidProcessor to convert Ore and/ore Rock.

1.3.0
- Updated to KSP 1.1.3
- Introduced IOpsView to enable command and control of parts from the Operations Manager.
- Refactored the WBIMultiConverter to use a template selector similar to the WBIConvertibleStorage.
- WBIConvertibleStorage/WBIMulticonverter will show you all the templates that a part can use, but templates that you haven't researched yet will be grayed out.

1.2.9
- Removed Dirt from the USI LifeSupport template.
- Added icons for USI-LS templates.
- Added the WBIModuleDecoupler part module that can switch between a decoupler and a separator.

- Fixed an issue where you'd see crew portraits in a nearby vessel even though you're focused upon a different vessel.
- Fixed an issue where a science experiment would be run when transferring the experiment out of a lab, even though it hasn't met all the requirements.
- Fixed an issue where a science lab could not transmit data back to KSC when RemoteTech is installed. NOTE: This is a pretty simplistic fix; future updates will account for packet transmission rates etc.

1.2.7
- Fixed issues with USI-LS.

1.2.6
- Added new props

1.2.5
- Improved GUI for selecting resources
- You can now click on the laptop prop's monitor to change the image.

1.2.4
- More Input is NULL error fixes.

1.2.3
- More Input is NULL error fixes.

1.2.2
- Fixed NREs and Input Is NULL errors.

1.2.1
- Minor bug fixes

1.2.0

Science System
- Added a new science system that lets you load experiments into the Coach containers, fly them to your stations and transfer them into a MOLE lab, and once completed, load them back into a Coach for transport back to Kerbin. The experiments have little to no transmit value, encouraging you to bring them home (or if you prefer, load them into an MPL). The new experiments can have many requirements such as orbiting specific planets at specific altitudes, various resources, minimum crew, and required parts. To give players an added challenge, you can optionally specify the percentage chance that an experiment will succeed. You even have the ability to run a specific part module once an experiment has met the prerequisites- that gives you the ability to provide custom benefits. Consult the wiki for more details.

1.1.5
- Adjusted Ore and XenonGas capacities to reflect stock resource volumes.
