Tourists sometimes should be able to go EVA. Now they can - and they have a lot to do!
Kourageous Tourists /L is Kourageous Tourists under Lisias' management.
This tiny mod empowers your every day tourists for much more kourageous adventures. With a little bit of training they finally can disembark the space (and other types of) craft. For their efforts not to be left forgotten, they can picture themselves in the most distant places imaginable. And last, but not least - they're willing to pay some good money for their entertainment.
This mod temporarily promotes tourists to crew members in order to allow them go EVA. However, actual EVA ability is restricted based on current tourist experience level and vessel situation. These restrictions are configurable with defaults as follows (note: this table deviates from the previous maintainer):
| Level | EVA allowed when | Jetpack | SkyDiving |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Not allowed. Use Command Seats for tours ;) | No | No |
| 1 | Landed on Kerbin; surface speed below 1 m/s | No | No |
| 2 | Landed or splashed on Kerbin; surface speed below 3 m/s | No | Yes |
| 3 | Landed, splashed or in stable orbit on Kerbin, landed or in stable orbit on Mün or Minmus; no speed restrictions | No | Yes |
| 4 | Landed, splashed or in stable orbit on Kerbin or Eve, landed or in stable orbit on Duna, Dres, Mün, Minmus, Gilly or Ike; no speed restrictions | Yes | Yes |
| 5 | Landed, splashed, in stable orbit or flying anywhere; no speed restrictions | Yes | Yes |
Level 5 tourists, if they survived to this, can do basically everything. Tourists gain experience just like regular crew, so for training them to level one, just take them to orbital spaceflight around Kerbin and recover. Level 2 could be obtained by Mün/Minmus landings and this is enough for every possible contract destination. You can also train them onsite using facilities that provide Level up crew function, albeit it does not seem safe enough.
This fork deviates from the previous maintainer as follows:
Jetpack fuel is drained if tourist level does not allows using it. Tourists still can not perform things like taking surface samples, collect experiment data or pilot ships, however they can carry stuff if KIS is installed and can take photos of themselves. All Kerbals in the scene will notice that and express some emotions depending on their courage and stupidity levels. The photo could be found in standard screenshot directory and looks like Glerina Kerman-Mun-17-03-01-12:06:18.png, i.e. file name contains the name of the Kerbal taking photo, planetary body and time when it was taken.
This mod also adds three new types of contracts that depend on tourists ability to de-board the vessel.
Detailed installation instructions are now on its own file (see the In a Hurry section) and on the distribution file.
