Kerbalism or Kopernicus -B9partswitch errors on solar panels

[StarExplorerNeptune]

My B9partSwitch is not working correctly with BDB, do you have any idea why?

[Clamp-o-Tron]

I've run into this before, I can't remember how I fixed it. Maybe a reinstall or deleting the MM cache?

[StarExplorerNeptune]

i found out that you need to update ksp to the newest version

[StarExplorerNeptune]

i just degraded my BDB to 1.6.3 for the meantime while i update ksp to its newest version

@AnonymousJedi unfortunately this appears to be caused by the way some versions of Kopernicus handles solar panels. The current BDB release works properly with the latest builds of Kopernicus and should be fine in future versions. We are trying to find out what the problematic versions are, can you let us know which version exactly you were using?

Also I believe the solar panels above should be fine, the switch in power between variants wont work but I think they will be functional.

what kopernicus version im using?
because i do not have kopernicus

[StarExplorerNeptune]

but also

is this a problem? and im using 1.10 @zorg2044

[zorg2044]

I think we might need your KSP.log to see whats going on. As well as your modulemanager.configcache

[StarExplorerNeptune]

i dont know how to send those

@AnonymousJedi did you have Kerbalism installed?

[StarExplorerNeptune]

yes @zorg2044

This appears to be a conflict with Kerbalism, we are now looking into it.

With Kerbalism SolarPanelFixer and Reliability are added.

One solution may be to add a custom variable to all ModuleDeployableSolarPanel in which you are using a B9 transform on

For example you could have:

MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleDeployableSolarPanel
		animationName = deploy
		raycastTransformName = USsunCatcher
		sunTracking = false
		pivotName = USsunCatcher
		isbreakable = true
		retractable = false
		//resourceName = ElectricCharge
		//chargeRate = 16
		bdb = true

		OUTPUT_RESOURCE
		{
			name = ElectricCharge
			rate = 3
		}

		powerCurve
		{
			key = 206000000000 0 0 0
			key = 13599840256 1 0 0
			key = 68773560320 0.5 0 0
			key = 0 10 0 0
		}
	}

And then for the ModuleB9PartSwitch:

MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleB9PartSwitch
		moduleID = meshSwitchExtension
		switcherDescription = Extension
		switcherDescriptionPlural = Extentions
		affectDragCubes = False
		affectFARVoxels = False
		SUBTYPE
		{
			name = Angled
			transform = USR_extensionPivotAngled
			transform = USL_extensionPivotAngled
		}
		SUBTYPE
		{
			name = OAO1
			addedMass = -0.0025

			MODULE
			{
				IDENTIFIER
				{
				name = *SolarPanel*
				bdb = true
				}
				DATA
				{
					OUTPUT_RESOURCE
					{
							name = ElectricCharge
							rate = 2.5
					}
				}
			}
		}
		SUBTYPE
		{
			name = Straight
			transform = USR_extensionPivotStraight
			transform = USL_extensionPivotStraight
		}
	}

B9 should then has two conditions that need to be satisfied. That should fix the issue with the B9 also matching with the Kerbalism Solar Panel fixer. Or if you don't want to use a new variable, just choose another variable within the ModuleDeployableSolarPanel that is not present within another module that has SolarPanel

This issue seems resolved with the latest version of Kopernicus and Kerbalism.
