[1.2.1] Stockalike TAC LS Containers [v0.5] [07/11/16]

[Sandworm]

Stockalike TAC LS Containers

TAC has far too many parts. All the different sizes, the filters, reactors ... it really should be called Kerbal Accountancy Simulator. TAC is also the best supported LS mod. The others are great. I like IFI and I miss the original IonCross CS, but TAC is the market leader. I find myself always returning to TAC for important saves but I hate the number of parts it requires. And the models, especially hexcans, look far more Trek then Kerbal.

Over a year ago there was a great stockalike parts pack for TAC, radial cans built from the long monoprop tank and a large inline built from the cupola model. It was lightweight and non-intrusive parts pack. But TAC and KSP have changed in the last year. So, with permission of Somnambulic, I've updated his mod to support TAC's current resource definitions. I've also added a new combined tank containing all three TAC resources (the one with "life support" written on the side).

Each tank contains 30 kerbin-days worth of resource, based on a 24-hour kerbin day. The combined radial contains 10 days worth of all three and the combined in-line contains a massive three kerbin-years.

All parts are Tweakscale-ready!

Changelog

 

Version 0.5

Changelog
0.5 - Checked against 1.2.1
	-Added tags for TAC/LS VAB tab
	-removed fix for 'exploding part' in vabVersion 0.4

0.4 - Corrected errors in rar (duplicate file names -> access errors during install)
	-Moved o2/h2/food cans to slightly higher tech node.

0.3 - Update for KSP 1.0.2 (no actual changes)
	-Added text to last three textures

0.2 - Update for KSP 1.0
	-Flipped node on large in-line can.

0.1 - Initial release
	-5 parts
	-textures
	-tweakscale cfg.

At the moment I have FIVE parts in this pack. I intend no more. The radial tanks contain either a 90-day supply of a single resource or 30days of each for the combined can. The 2.5m inline can hold three years worth, or one year for a three-kerbal crew. All are now tweakscale compatible. So you can probably delete all the stock TAC parts. I do not want to discuss volume and part dimensions. I don't care that these parts do not comport with realworld resource volumes. The cans contain 90 or 30 days of resources because that keeps the math simple. Their mass comes from the resource definitions. While they may or may not be the wrong volume, they are properly heavy and therefore not OP imho.

Ah.. I see. Should be all fixed now.

When I created the rar I had 'show hidden files' enabled (linux). So the rar captured temp stuff with the tild (~) prefix ... that then caused an error when unraring into a windows environment that saw files with the same names and tried to overwright them -> access denied because winrar shouldn't be deleting files. The new v0.4 rar should be clean. My bad for not inspecting the v0.3 rar. But at least we all now know what "Adgang nægtet" means in danish.

For people who use Filter Extensions I made a simple config that creates a TAC LS category and merges Stockalike TAC LS Containers with it. I hope it's ok to post it here. Tell me if you want it removed.

CATEGORY:NEEDS[ThunderAerospace|TAC_Stockalike]
{
	name = TAC Life Support
	icon = ThunderAerospace
	colour = #FFF0F0F0
	all = true

	FILTER
	{
		CHECK
		{
			type = folder
			value = ThunderAerospace, TAC_Stockalike
		}
	}

	SUBCATEGORIES
	{
		list = 0,Pods
		list = 1,Fuel Tanks
		list = 2,Engines
		list = 3,Command and Control
		list = 4,Structural
		list = 5,Aerodynamics
		list = 6,Utility
		list = 7,Science
	}
}

Cool. I've never used filter extensions. All additions are welcome.

I'm going to be crazy busy with work for the next few days, but after that I will look into the new heat system and adding CTT support.

Not a necro! 

I actually just updated this to 1.2.1.  Eighteen months between updates is probably a record.
