H'mmm,

Curse must be real slow.  still showing 2.0.8 update.

I will check again in the morning.

Cheers.

It appears they are a little slow at Curse today.

Fortunate, there is always an mirror available at Spacedock

Edit: Curse has finally updated

All is great now, cheers.

Another (hopefully helpful) comment regarding curse: could you post the kerbal.curseforge link (http://kerbal.curseforge.com/projects/interstellar-fuel-switch?gameCategorySlug=ksp-mods&projectID=237233) instead of the other one? I do not want to try which of the ten tracking scripts I have to allow to get to the download and I am sure that I am not the only one.

@raxo2222

The 6 IFS tanks actualy already exisit but they are located in KSPI-E. Perhaps would be an idea to transfer them (and all resourc  gathering related stuff) to IFS package. Technically it should be possible and would allow IFS to specialize more in universal resource storage and gathering

Note that I explicitly mention Universal Resource gathering as we need some way to make the resource harvester switchable, similary you can do now for a tank, you switch resource gathing mode. This should allow you to create Surface/Ocear/Atmosphere resource gatherrers that can switch to a multitude of minable resources. It would also be able to switch storage resources at the sam time, similar to how texture switches which resource content. This will also reduce resource cluting and make it a bit more intuitive

I have IFS 2.0.9 and I was curios, as I am not 100% sure if this is a 1.1.3 or a IFS bug.  When I 'lock' a fuel tank, it doesn't stay locked when going from VAB to Launch.

Perhaps it is IFS, could you create some screen dumps?

Sure, I hope this help.  One image of the tanks, "locked" in the VAB.  I then clicked "save" and then "launch" , no longer locked.

I did go back to a previous version of IFS and the tanks are not staying locked.

So, what is going wrong? The Resource type, amount and drymass is the same in both VAB as on the Launch pad. Everything seems right to me...

Edit: oh wait, it's the locked state that is the problem? I haven't changed anything about this, perhaps it a stock change ...

If not, it must have been part of IFS for a long time ...

Sorry I wasn't clear, yes - if I lock a fuel tank i the editor and then go to the launch pad, that tank is no longer locked.

[Cornholio]

Perhapds not because of ISFS, but how would one go about trouble-shooting why not a single tank contains oxidizer? 

 

The culprit was  ABZB IFS Integration Mod.  Is there a good method of applying ISFS to KW Rocketry tanks?

I just installed the latest [Based on KSP  AVC which directed me to the curse page, the problem of the fuel tanks/resources not staying locked is still taking place.

Well I know what is happening. Simply put it replaced the resource and simply ignores/forgets about the lock state. I will try to look soon if I can fix it.

Ah.. okay, thank you - Sorry about that

I'm planning to add the following MM script to IFS

[Script IntegrateInterstellarFuelSwitch.cfg and other text removed to save space]

Any suggestions would be welcome

@FreeThinker - I just noticed a strange message in my log and tracked it down to this MM script.

[LOG 00:40:34.878] InsterstellarFuelSwitch SetupTankInPart adding resources: Stuctural;
[WRN 00:40:34.879] Could not create PartResource of type 'Stuctural

Bug Report: The script mis-spells the word 'Structural' in the module section near the top (3 times)

I'm running IFS 2.1.0 straight outta CKAN. I hope this helps. I've fixed it in mine.

In case it was missed above, the script in question is IntegrateInterstellarFuelSwitch.cfg

Hi,

I was just wondering while trying to build a SSTO, why IFS doesn't allow Oxidizer-only tanks? Would be a great addition imo, instead of leaving half empty tanks every time.

Thanks.

Well, a combination of Liquid/Oxygen + Liquid Fuel should be enough in most cases
