ThatHomelessGuy Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 @pellinor I don't normally come bothering people bout stuff like this but I'm making some custom parts for my career and I had an issue with wheel resizing and was wondering if you could throw an eye on this for me maybe point me in the right direction. I do use tweakscale in my game but for these purposes I want fine control over what values scale (speed etc) so I'm making a set of wheel parts from stock parts and at least then I can export them and use them without tweakscale. Any advice you could give would be great. I've googled the hell out of this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look at how TweakScale handles this tomorrow. Haven't tested rescaleFactor<0.5 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think of making it a dependent of something else if need be but beyond simple part edits and mod part patches for incompatible mod parts I am pretty new to the modding community on KSP.

stickman939 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Is anyone else getting a weird bug that alters the attachment nodes of scaled parts AFTER placing them and picking them up again? Or is that just me? Not sure if it's a legit bug or a problem on my end, but I thought I'd bring attention to it jic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's the most up-to-date version, but I'll redownload it just to be 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean its broken. Sometimes the only thing a mod needs is an updated version number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebuchadnezzar Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 @thesmokindeist It seems to work fine in 1.2.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesmokindeist Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) OK, I guess I panicked a bit since the main booster I'm using in my save depends on TweakScale. It has certainly proved to be an extraordinarily useful mod for me. Edited November 2, 2016 by thesmokindeist Grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pellinor Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Release v2.3.2: * recompile for KSP1.2.1 * update patches for RLA-Stockalike, OPT * exponents for ModuleRCSFX * remove an obsolete exponent * remove patches for relay antennas since scaling of their main function does not work (which is relaying signals when the antenna is part of an unloaded vessel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Elf Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 @pellinor: Thanks for being so on-the-ball with this update! Quick (noob) question: do I need to do something to get the new version to show up in CKAN, or is that something yet to be done from your end?

In most cases you just need to wait a bit for CKAN bot to catch up update. From moder side, if there is no big changes it is mostly just a matter of updating version file properly, for CKAN being able to pick it up. But all those questions are better to ask in CKAN thread and leave mod thread to be on topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can easily write your own scaling patches (see here: https://github.com/pellinor0/TweakScale/commit/d874146ba6b46a910d0e73fffe162c2c561672e9). Just be aware that the range only scales as long as the part is loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be aware that the range only scales as long as the part is loaded. That's the part I don't understand I'm sorry.. What does it mean it only scales when it's loaded, you mean loaded into the scenery? What happens when it's not loaded? If the range turns back to default, I can live with that.

Yes, the range reverts to default whenever the part is far from the vessel you are controlling. Since that is the main use case for a relay antenna, I chose to not make them scaleable by default.

It is advisable to keep your own patches separate from mods (i.e. not in the TweakScale folder), so you do not accidentally lose them when removing or updating mod folders.

Selrinn Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Is there a known MOD that tweakscale doesn't play nice with? I have a very heavy modded game but ive never had a problem with tweakscale before. I just finished getting my mod list up and running and now the tweakscale context menu doesn't appear. I found an old post by biotronic mentioning KSPAPIExtensions.dll and IR having an issue so i removed theMSI folder but i still dont have the menu option. Am i missing something? Do i need to activate it in game since 1.2.1? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSPApiExtensions was stockified in 1.2, so if you have it some of your mods are badly out of date. If either TweakScale refuses to load properly or the scaling modules are not applied by MM, the nyour log will probably tell why. I can have a look if you upload it somewhere (first thing I would do is search for 'exception'). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
