Computer Controlled Vessels For Kerbal Stunt Flying
Vložit

- Using KerbalRPC you can write computer control software for vehicles and have them fly according to your orders. So Tuesday night was spent with code that made things hover why I fly around them and try some silly stunts.

Giving up the ghost comes from german. I never thought this expression could be translated word by word. Better would be giving up the spirit (ghost and spirit is the same word in german)
It's been in English since Old English, so probably a parallel development instead of a borrowing from German en.wiktionary.org/wiki/give_up_the_ghost
But in German we still tend to use it once in a while...
German and Dutch. There's 2 continental West German languages.
expression also translates to dutch, and as far as i know its only commonly used by senior dutch people.
Literally same expression exist in Russian "испустить дух", meaning both "ghost", "spirit" and "soul" too. So I guess it's universal
I kinda wish that Kerbal Space Program came with in game AI parts, where you could tell me easily with numbers / sliders to do stuff like this. Like make a rover go from point A to point B on the moon. Make platforms / Rings fly like in the video. AI parts like this would suit the game imo.
Mech Jeb has most of that, but I don't like Mech Jeb much because it's too twitchy and behaves very strangely at times. A problem with stock AI is that the vanilla physics range doesn't really let other objects fly at a great distance from the selected vessel. Some mods get around this, but it's impossible for them to load terrain under distant vessels so anything too far away couldn't land or drive without falling through the world. Floating point errors also become a problem, but those aren't nearly as bad as the lack of solid ground. I would love a pitch-independent SAS though, for rovers and such.
but you didnt try scripting the plane and then flying the hoops around it?
Because that wouldn't be fun.
Scott Manley, I beg to differ.
I feel you need to build the kerbal version of the buzzer game and see how far you can fly a hoop along it now to prove me wrong
"Giving up the ghost" is a literal translation of the german expression "den Geist aufgeben"
You do know that English is a germanic language right?
Scott Manley ye ofcourse
but "ghost" in this case is a misstranslation of "geist", "spirit" would be the better translation
ColeNOXyd2nd yea
what i want to say with it is that german as the original language makes sense, more than beeing just another language that uses it
neat! nice to know you use programming in KSP too! i made a rocket that uses a preset program that goes to my moho base, lands on my pre-built pad, drops its payload on the crawler next to the pad, and then returns to kerbin, re-enters, and lands at the KSC. i have used it to establish a completely self sustainable, research capable, and giant, in a crater with an ore concentration of 12.7%
Check yo gravity!
«I either fly or I die»
minutes later: «I'm Scott Manley, Fly safe!»
Giving up the ghost is from German. In German it is: "Den Geist aufgeben"
"Giving up the ghost" sounds like a literal translation of "De geest geven" which is Dutch.
Plus "den Geist aufgeben" from German. :3
I like how it's eather full thrust or nothing for the drones :D Great video!
There should be a really easily destroyed monoprop tank or whatever in the middle and if you destroy it, the total monopropellant will drop to zero, then the while loop can test if monoprop is zero, and if it is, shut down the engine, so once you fly through the hoop, it falls out of the sky.
its oddly unsettling how they float around, mindlessly but intelligent at the same time.
@Scott Manley - "Giving the ghost from" comes from the dutch saying: "De geest geven" and it's a literal translation.
Scott! That was awesome! I'm still learning how to use Java to control my rockets with kRPC and it's really cool, I'm doing a suicide burn script, with little success.. xD
That little drone would be great to use with the Camera Tools Mod! You could use it to make a dogfight scene! ^^
que dahora te encontrar aqui..ahahha
Haha o pessoal sempre assiste uns vídeos do Scott ^^ Eu também não poderia deixar de assistir ^^
You can run dogfights a lot easier using BDArmoryczcams.com/video/g5GEQH5F7mo/video.html
Indeed, that was awesome ^^ But I was talking about the "dogfight chase" mode from Camera Tools, I believe you could make a drone like a DJI Spark, to follow your on your adventures, just for some epic footage ^^
KRPC is really cool to mess with, I had a livestream today trying to make a rocket hover like yours xD
I suppose I shouldn't mention the competition, but if you're looking for suicide burn script work, check out Marcus House channel - he used kos script to suicide burn a lifter rocket onto the VAB roof - my gast has never been so flabbered! Er, except for that time Scott dunked a hoop from orbit, of course!
Those flying rings are indestructible
You should couple two same-sized rocket parts together in mid-air using this script.
Great video. And yes more uplink!
Flying through rings brings back bad memories. Thanks Titus.
If it's any consolation, your conversation while concentrating had me cracking up, so congratulations.
it's*
The flying through rings bit is a real thing. Check out swept wing and drone FPV racing. Hilarious sport for tech savy people.
the rogue agent from the interstellar series is back and he overtook a drone that went rogue right after, destroy it before the NaNite Virus returns!
What a coincidence. Last weekend I started fiddling with kRPC in LinqPad and got the GDLV3 to KEO. kRPC really rocks!
Some may call you the master of the rings but i however will now call you the lord of the rings
"giving up the ghost" could be a translation of "den Geist aufgeben", a german figure of speech
Or Dutch "De geest gegeven" meaning broke down or died
It's actually from several places in Bible, so this phrase is (was) universal among most languages Bible was translated to. The strange thing is that regardless of implied anthropism applied to words ghost, Geist and дух, phrase is used for inanimate objects too at least in English and Russian
Good beer choice. I have been to KRBC many times.
Would you be able to catch a jellyfish-shaped satellite with a Spongebob-shaped probe? Be sure to have the pants separate during the intercept! You could even use the Mk-3 cargo ramp as a net!
From 'Tony Probe' to 'Badass Probe'- my how times have changed.
You deserve a like just for the "That's how I roll" joke @5:32 , however the video ends :D
So that's why people have trouble standing when they're drunk. It's all that extra gravity they drank.
Hey, are you going to continue the 'things KSP doesn't teach you' series? I love those videos. If you're short on ideas, how about rendezvous physics? Given the difficulty the Gemini missions had initially with the maneuver, and how relatively easy it is in KSP, I would think that might be a good place to start!
whatever happened to that mod that projected the hud out in front of the vehicle in third person with the velocity vector? that was one of my favorite mods
Hi Scott can you do a video on writing scripts for KSP Please?
yesssssss
Currently I need a script to fix my version that stops it crashing on load :(
Yeah that would definitely be awesome!
incredable flying
The horse raced past the barn fell.
You should try landing a rocket from orbit on one of those floating platforms.
the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin...
3:28 when you remember you have exam in two days, you don't know shit, and you're watching CZcams.
For the JellyFish, wouldn't having a triangle of rockets splayed outwards with responsive reaction wheels help?
Wow!! As I see at about 15:00 it seems is possible made this program emulate something like a figther plane for some dog fight or isn't?? Thanks for still cool vids and for your channel! You are the man of KSP!! :) :D
If you use the BD Armory mod it comes with a dogfighting autopilot, so you can load up weapons, spawn a few planes and watch them fight each other.
Here's a compilation:
czcams.com/video/g5GEQH5F7mo/video.html
Oh, it seems very interesting, maybe I will try someday!! Unfortunately I don't play KSP at some mouths mainly because I can't play just for few hours and I don't have more such time, and because I begin to play Escape from Tarkov! A equaly hardcore game but tottaly diferent becase is a FPS game heh! Thank you for your response, I am a big fan of you since I begin to play, like 4 years ago!! I'm very glad could have this chat with you from another side of the world! :) Hugs for you here from Brazil! ;) :D
2:08 best quote of 2018 torreto would be proud
Irn Bru in The States? A bunch of sellers on Amazon have it, and with Prime shipping, too. Good if there are no ex pat shops in your local area.
This is neat. I feel though that the audio is a bit too soon for the video.
Is it bad that I get overly excited whenever Scott Manley posts a new video?
Now you just need to make them point their nose in the direction of a preset position to get a fully working autopilot.
quality stuff! :D
try programming an proportional regulator instead of an 2 point one. maybe this will increase your stability of the rings
You should do this with that quadcopter you built!
Worst glitch ever is approaching something while supersonic and having aerodynamic effects happen on said object but in reverse
In Czech there is exactly the same phrase, certainly coming from German. However it is not used anymore in this meaning to my knowledge. It is used however as a polite way of saying "to fart" (actually I remember my great-grandmother using it and she was born before WW1).
"Giving up the ghost"?
That sounds like it could be taken from the Polish "Oddawać ducha" which indeed means "to die".
I believe the flickering and jittering bug is caused by Physics Range Extender.
fully automated mun landing incoming
"It will probably involve crashing into things" :D
Space X should use the floating platform for landing their rockets! (Giving up the ghost comes from old KJV)
Hey Scott entertaining video, I want to get your opinion on the Ironbru discontinuation that's gonna happen.
You mean the change to the recipe to reduce the sugar content? No idea if I'll ever get to try that in the US.
In Germany we have this expression "den Geist aufgeben" oder "Something hat den Geust aufgegeben". Which litterally translates it into "givin up the ghost". more correct would be "loosing the spirit" i gues. the meaning if this saying is, something gave up. lost structural integrity or just failed working, like a machine motor or sumthin.
this is a little bit awesome. Now, a challenge: launch a SpaceX and LAND THE FIRST STAGE ON AN AIRBORNE PLATFORM!
Put the engines on the top so the rings dangle down, and make them bigger!
PLEASE do a video over getting to minmus/the Mun with only twin boars (landing with them too!
put lights on the rings (red+green) so you can see easier the orientation :)
Ramén, Flying Spaghetti Monster!
very cool
Those rings have no PID at all. Might help to have a proper PID loop with an output augmented by the expected throttle to maintain altitude.
Although, I have to admit that bang-bang control makes it more fun.
Hey scott did you know some thing about the Thargoid scouts before anyone els 11.30 :o
very cool!
giving up the ghost comes from the netherlands
you sir should fly drones aka quads. it's a blast.
Nice video 👌👍
Did you program some kind of hack in the kRPC script to magically re-fuel the rings every so often? Because I could see your aircraft nog having unlimited fuel while the rings have.
Please play more of the uplinkOS mod. I've been playing it too and I want to see you get to the endgame stuff.
Can you make a self landing rocket like in SpaceX ?
we now I just want to see you build a ship that will get to the mun being controlled only by script. Like what they would do with an actual unmanned space mission!
It would be cool if you used a PID controller to let the rings stay in position.
Now put the hoop on the airplane and barnswallow the drones. :D
07:11 "Well, okay that killed him"
Martin Luther was the first who wrote about "giving up the ghost" in his translations of the bible.
If it throws an exception can you not capture it with a try/except method and deal with it there
Mr Manley, if you could do a LAN tutorial for uplink that would be rad. I could never figure out what the heck to do with it.
the lack of PID in the control of the floaty rings disturbs me :V
6:18 wow, that's... Wow!
PID: the solution to most issues lol. I use it all the time for VEX robotics
god I love krpc
10:10
Crew report while landed at Kerbin's lower atmosphere
Fly a ring through a ring....
Remind me to not ever be your passenger....
Could You make a tutorial how to install kRPC? I never managed to get it to work
11:45 I wonder where he got that idea from...
most coments are about the giving up the gost thing wich is probably dutch i use it when a device breakdown slowly and now its completely dead or a puff of smoke
Normal hover rings seem too easy for you. I think you now need pirouetting hover rings!
Flying through rings? Is this Superman 64?
Low gravity beer for High gravity people? What, is that was Alara Kitan drinks then?
Now just add RCS so they keep compass orientation
What did you say one can obtain in the US? It was hard to make out...
8:35 elon musk..... Here an idea for reusable stages
Make a floating airstrip!
annnddddd Scott Manleys created the new Pilot Wings
Raimar Lunardi ultra wings is the new pilot wings
Nice to know!!! I wish I had VR setup though...
'Ello, Scott! Don't suppose you'll consider returning to Stellaris at some point? Pardon if others have been asking the same, but I'm really enjoying going through your 47 videos long playlist, and I'm about halfway! But I realize the last episode is long before a lot of the significant updates to the game (including some quite recent ones), so it would be fun to see you try your hand at those someday :D
Come on, Scott. You were using Python. You could have just imported antigravity.
is that a blue snowball or blue snowball ice
Just realized that KSP is made in Mexico... Hell yeah.... I am impressed....More impressive things please.. :)
