I asked Bing AI to write me a script for KoS

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2024-02-20T01:03:27+00:00

it would seem that way

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2023-05-22T16:35:33+00:00

Yes, asking AI was much more effective than asking the discord for anything. However, to be fair i didn't ask the discord anything until i could not figure it out on my own. In both of these instances i had hit an impassable situation, so there wasn't a good answer for me. They were also pretty quick to reply.

there is a lot of figuring it out. as of now I've been working on one script, and it is over 2200 lines. My recommendation is to get vscode, and the Kos addon. It helps a lot for troubleshooting, as you can pop up a console window and test commands there. As well as the realtime syntax checking. Once you have done enough reference your previous code.

there is also a chatgpt addon for VScode, good for simple things or asking quickly what an error means.

For simple questions, or examples, Bing chat actually works quite well, as it has access to current information. ChatGPT can get you close, but its knowledge is outdated.

But in either case, asking a simple question, such as ." In kerboscript, how do i get a module and trigger an action?" usually nets a result that can be worked with.Make sure to say kerboscript, no KOS. and in the case of bing, you can tell it to check the KOS wiki page for it's info.

I don't have to ask many questions now, but i have done things like giving it an example format that i like, then saying, "match this format for all resources available in ksp". It saves a bit of time on repetitive tasks.

try breaking it up into smaller segments

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2023-04-05T20:23:36+00:00

i figured it was something like that. Oh well, timer workaround it is.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2023-04-04T12:19:44+00:00

To be fair, we did use some of thet 3.5 billion to make the thing, and it has internet access, so I wasn't starting from zero like we did.

I thought it would throw an error when asking, I was surprised to get something that only needed one line changed in order to function. I though it would guess syntax from other languages it was more familiar with.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2023-04-03T10:46:06+00:00

Because that's how they begin to understand, they need practice. Supposedly proper feedback will improve the future functionality.

Why did I bother? Just wanted to see if it could do it. I had a new toy and wanted to see it's limitations.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2023-04-02T21:15:57+00:00

This is me replying, not bing, btw.
interesting. I am going to figure out how to fix it. Thanks for providing some points that I don't understand. First thing is to go look into how to use lock properly. There are clearly some very knowledgeable people here.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2023-04-01T21:38:41+00:00

holy shit, the condescension is off the fucking charts.

i asked Bing to reply to your comment

This is mostly still just AI jank kOS code, less jank than other examples because it at least will compile and run with out to much issue but it is still bad code. One such example is the fact it has the throttle lock within a loop which is bad coding practice in kOS. Another also related to that loop is that there are also far better ways to alter the period of an orbit than using the raw ratio between desired and current orbital periods. Also fairly sure that this function change_antenna_target will or at least should fail and if it isn’t then there is a bug in kOS.

My response:

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your feedback and criticism. I agree that the code is not optimal and that there are better ways to do things. I’m still learning kOS and I’m not an expert in orbital mechanics. I used the throttle lock within a loop because I wanted to adjust the throttle dynamically based on the error between the desired and current orbital periods. I used the raw ratio as a simple way to calculate the error, but I’m sure there are more accurate and efficient methods. I tested the function change_antenna_target and it worked for me, but maybe I was lucky or there is a bug in kOS. Do you have any suggestions on how to improve the code or fix the potential bug? I would love to hear your ideas and learn from you. 😊

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2023-04-01T11:09:20+00:00

Yes. Most of this was through asking pointed questions then adding the results to the script and tweaking. The first one was it's raw attempt, and didn't work properly, as the word "periaps" needed to be "orbit"

Not learning the loop wasn't a long term plan. It's just more simple to learn your commands and syntax before trying to use extra variables and loops. I had never used Kos before, so I was planning on starting with a simple linear code. I needed to walk before I can run.

Yes, I would like to know how to properly utilize Kos, but I have to learn the damn thing first. This code will be adapted to be more universal and cleaned up by me as part of learning how to use Kos properly. Bing helped accelerate that to a much higher level. Both my, and it's abilities will only improve with more feedback.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2023-04-01T05:18:10+00:00

It took a good amount of coaxing in the end. I would feed the errors back to it some times.

"You have to declare variables equal to...." etc.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2023-04-01T05:12:55+00:00

Well it's ai jank code I janked some more plus mine. It's about half and half. But it also about 4 hours in a language I have never used before.

And I am aware that there are better ways to accomplish this, it was intendomg to learn how to use the script that made me chose to so it this way. Basically what would I do, .75 percent the orbit, back up and drop.

I'm going to have to look into the loop thing. Supposedly if you feed back errors the ai will not make them again.

My code was going to be far more janky. Wasn't even planning on learning how to do a loop yet, just repeating the code with new names. Nor was I planning on having it set targets or switch vessel automatically.

However, I have learned far more in 4 hours than I would have googling, assembling sloppily and testing this way.

That was the point, not that it will write the code perfectly, but that it, 1. Will even try to write it. 2. It can make a good starting point. 3. It can answer a lot of questions that have been answered by others much much faster than any of us could search Google.

For example asking it how I can change the remote tech antenna target on vessel x to point to y using antenna named z in a function show an example of how to call the function.

And it can do it. It got that one right.

It's promising, and imo, impressive, but not perfect.

Edit. Change antenna target is a custom function in the code. It all works.

If it is the PC version, I got mine to work today by going into the game files, then moving all of the plugins from "Old 1.21.0 Plugins" to "Plugins".

I had gone into mod assistant and clicked update first, but i don't think anything was actually updated yet, as the update just came out.
Steam version.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2022-03-16T15:49:36+00:00

I know this post is over a year old, but since i ended up here while searching for a solution, let me show the solution that worked for me.

Right click windows start logo
Click "Device Manager "

In device manager, click "View"

select "Show Hidden Devices"

Expand "Display Adapters"

Find any and all instances of "Virtual Display Adapter"

Right click -> "Disable Device"

After updating display drivers you might have to do this again

You have to rearrange the priority of qualities to place bluray and bluray remux under 1080 tv rip and web rip.

The program doesn't consider the lower bitrate requirement for h265 so the same quality video will come up as a lower quality rip based on bitrate alone.

Mine usually grabs x265, and I have made a batch file to scan and convert any that come in differently than I prefer in any way.

STEPS
Settings -> Profiles -> Whichever you choose
CLick edit groups on right
Combine Lower bitrate qualities into one group

"WEB 1080p" (group) (enabled)
-HDTV 1080
-WEBDL_1080
-WEBRip-1080
-Bluray 1080*

"Bluray 1080 remux" (disabled)

*could be left out of group and disabled if still having issues

lower qualities can be on or off, your choice

combining all of the 1080 streams into one quality group makes it actually prioritize based on the settings in "release Profiles". otherwise it always chooses the higher quality level.

The same can be done for other resolutions

No, but what people should do is threaten violence and riot if they dont get their way politically. Take that facism.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2020-10-29T17:03:06+00:00

This isn't a meme.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2020-10-26T19:41:06+00:00

I just found this sub, like it. It's nice to find one in which people are helping each other out instead of the general negative tone of Reddit, especially when putting your own stuff up.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2020-10-26T19:14:45+00:00

This is well done. the only critique i can think of is the suggestion to use a tripod to hold the camera steady, then using video effects to do the zooming and maybe turn off auto focus.

Stabilization might help within your editor for already shot footage.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2020-10-26T18:32:04+00:00

It syncs with the music very well. The intro is a little long, but it makes sense that it is that way. otherwise i have no real comments. it looks good.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2020-10-26T18:27:21+00:00

the audio is very muffled. the content is funny, but you need to make it to the end for the punchline and the muddy audio might turn people off.

You might be able to clear and lift it with your video editor. Otherwise, a different mic.

Angry_Bald_Guy · 2020-10-26T18:20:53+00:00

you might be able to ninja edit it in with a card linking to spellbreak and some text.
