Compatibility with FAR: stock chutes not being reset on recovery #96

Open Strych74 opened 2 years ago

Strych74 commented 2 years ago

I've done some testing on a clean install with KCT, FAR, and Sounding Rockets installed. I found that when I recovered a sounding rocket to the VAB, the nosecone/chute wasn't being reset when I edited / refilled the vessel. I then tried the same thing, this time on a vessel using stock parts (Mk.16 - parachuteSingle) and had the same issue.

I tried going through the module reset tutorial to see whether this was something I could correct myself. I noted that FAR patches over the stock parachute module with its own module (RealChuteFAR). There were only two values different between the original craft and the recovered one: depState and currentTemp. I tried adding the module to the KCT_ModuleTemplates.cfg file ala the tutorial but this didn't have any effect, the redeployed vehicle still didn't have the parachute reset after recovery/editing.

Removing FAR from the install and working with a fresh craft fixed the issue - on recovery and edit the parachute was reinstated correctly on both the stock parachute as well as the USI Sounding Rocket part.

Sorry, nothing I can do about that. FAR is using it's own modules, somewhat difficult to implement. I'll leave this open, but don't expect anything for a while
