Scripts for kOS - as seen on DunaQuest!
These scripts are my attempt to automate repetitive tasks in KSP as real space programs do. See below for supported commands.
- Copy the scripts into your
$KSP/Ships/Scriptfolder. - Configure your kOS processer with the appropriate boot script, depending on storage availability and mission requirements.
Required storage: 5000
Supported commands:
dd_launch(<inclination>)
Launches the vessel into a parking orbit - 10km for non-atmospheric bodies, and about 10km above the atmosphere for atomspheric bodies.
An optional (approximate) inclination can be specified in degrees. 90 launches to the north, -90 (or 270) launches to the south.
Most staging is performed automatically, although boosters may not be automatically staged.
See the Duna Launch System for staging parameters and reference designs.
dd_node_burn
Executes the next manouevre node. Kills warp ~30 seconds before burning, for low values of warp.
Required storage: 10000
Additional commands:
dd_descent_burn
Kill horizontal velocity in preparation for landing.
dd_launch(<inclination>, <rendezvous>)
Same as above, but can now accept an optional rendezvous flag. If set to true, the vessel will attempt a direct-ascent rendezvous with the target vessel. Some experimentation may be necessary to determine the appropriate launch window.
dd_land
Shortcut for performing a descent burn followed by a suicide burn.
dd_suicide_burn
Attempt to land by performing a suicide burn. Not for the faint of heart, but it works.
Required storage: 20000
Additional commands:
dd_dock([shipPortNameTag], [targetPortNameTag])
Attempts to dock with the target vessel, using the provided ports. The vessels do not need to have already performed a rendezvous, but they should be on an intercept trajectory.
dd_rendezvous
Performs a rendezvous with the target vessel. The vessels should be on an intercept trajectory.
