Surface Experiment Pack (SEP)

An addon that adds science packages that must be constructed prior to use for Kerbal Space Program.

By zer0Kerbal, originally by AlbertKermin and CobaltWolf

adopted with express permission and brought to you by KerbSimpleCo

Preamble by AlbertKermin

A long while ago, I created a mod called Munar Surface Experiment Pack, which was a decent mod, if I do say so myself. However, it was plagued with perpetual bugs, which, eventually, caused me to lose interest.

However, the awesome CobaltWolf contacted me with the proposal that we collaborate on a remake of this mod. Naturally, I jumped at the chance.

Surface Experiment Pack is a much, much different mod than the old Munar Surface Experiment Pack, and much closer to the actual ALSEP experiments.

Features

• This mod adds two parts
  • Part: command/parachute
  • Part: heatshield/cargobay
  • RemoteTech configs are included.

"Link" option missing after KAS update removed legacy support

From Surface-Experiment-Pack created by ghost: CobaltWolf#41

Since the most recent KAS (1.2) update, all legacy parts and the legacy .dll are gone and thus the mod isn't very usable because you can't link anything.

Here's a detailed forum post: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/155382-16x-surface-experiment-pack-deployable-science-for-kiskas-v27-13jan19/&page=16&tab=comments#comment-3579551

SEP_CentralStation not working properly with RemoteTech

From Surface-Experiment-Pack created by ZeroA4: CobaltWolf#31

The Central Station antenna does not work with Remote Tech as of SEP v2.1.4 and RemoteTech v1.8.6 in KSP 1.2.2

The antenna is simply ignored by Remote Tech. But the Central Station works as a RT probe if you stick an external antenna to it.
But instead of just complaining. I decide to try my hand at the Remote Tech MM patch.
https://remotetechnologiesgroup.github.io/RemoteTech/modders/modules/ says:

"You must remove any ModuleDataTransmitter modules from the antenna if using ModuleRTAntenna."

So:

	!MODULE[ModuleDataTransmitter]
	{
	}

Great ! the antenna now works! But We lose the animation... Humm Workable but... I want the animation...
It has to have something to do with ModuleAnimateGeneric

The patch already has a reference to ModuleAnimateGeneric but the original .cfgt file does not. The animation is referred inside ModuleSEPStation

Comparing to the RT patch to the Stock antenna:
The stock antenna has its animation referred inside ModuleDeployableAntenna
The RT patch has:

	@MODULE[ModuleDeployableAntenna]
	{
		%name=ModuleAnimateGeneric
		%allowManualControl = false
		%actionAvailable = false
		%eventAvailableFlight = false
		%eventAvailableEditor = false
		%eventAvailableEVA = false
	}

So lets add:

	@MODULE[ModuleSEPStation]
	{
		%name=ModuleAnimateGeneric
		%allowManualControl = false
		%actionAvailable = false
		%eventAvailableFlight = false
		%eventAvailableEditor = false
		%eventAvailableEVA = false
	}

Bingo! Working antenna and working animation!

My_SEP_RemoteTech.cfg.txt

PS: Just Saw the SEP 2.1.5... but its RT patch looks the same.
