Description

In the attached save file there is one uncompleted tourism contract for Maulotte Kerman to land on the Mun. This tourist is not visible in the astronaut complex roster, nor are they visible in the kerbal{} section of this save file. Because of the missing tourist, this contract cannot be finished without hacking in a new tourist or cheat-completing the contract in the debug menu.

There are two tourist contracts with Maulotte Kerman's name. I suspect the Maulotte was deleted after the first contract was complete.

I think you can reproduce the problem by partially completing a tourist's itinerary, and then spawning a new tourist contract that has an identically named tourist. Depending on which of the contracts is finished first, the other contract would be unfinishable.

There are cosmetic add-ons in this installation, but nothing that should impact contracts or game play in general.

History

#1 Updated by JPLRepo about 8 years ago

In certain scenarios where a Rescue/Tourist Contract has been accepted but not completed and another Rescue/Tourist Contract is generated it is possible to have a result of two kerbals with the same name included in both contracts.
This causes the Kerbal Roster/Contracts system to get completely confused as the Kerbal Roster uses the Kerbal's name as the key field.
Here is a forum post of the latest details and it contains another link of this occurring in the past as well.

The second user has also provided a series of quicksaves:

I worked my way through my saves. Turns out I didn't do both missions at the same time. In quicksave #7 I have not accepted the tourist mission yet. In quicksave #8 I already completed the Nelner tourist mission and already accepted the Nelner rescue mission. So the error occured in between quicksave #7 and quicksave #8.

I created this dropbox folder with quicksave #1 to #10, all ships and backup folder. I didn't include all quicksaves tho (currently I am at quicksave #81) to keep the folder size low.
