Hollow parts?

[Sirine]

Notice this at the 1.0.5 release note.
[B]* Various hollow parts have their displacement tuned to account for hollowness.[/B]

What are the hollow parts? Decoupler ring? Fuselages? Anyone have the list?

By Hollow, I means:-

Even the cubic octag is basically hollow.

Help, anyone?;.;

The structural fuselage, cargo bays and service compartments come to mind. I don't think a list of all parts adjusted so has been released.

[Bubbadevlin]

most parts that appear "hollow" are not actually, as Red Iron Crown says, only cargo bas, service compartments and the new structural fuselage are truly hollow. Dont forget fairings are also hollow!

To add onto this, it depends on how the colliders are added.

Thanks everyone.

Think I can't play 'Decoupler Ring' bbq style capture in orbit...yet.

How do the parts even specify their hollowness? Was looking through the .cfg files and nothing jumped out at me. Some sort of arcana in the mesh files? How would a part author control this?

[Red Iron Crown]

The collider mesh determines it. Most parts have a simple, convex collider (even ones that appear hollow, like the decouplers and the 2.5m reaction wheel. The cargo bays, service bays and structural fuselage have colliders with concave surfaces to allow things to be stored inside them.

[Kurld]

I thought concave colliders were a no-no.

[benjee10]

They are, the hollow parts just use a several convex colliders arranged so it makes a concave shape. Edited November 24, 2015 by benjee10

^^ That. Sorry for being unclear.

Just adding on to this, there are some parts (like structural fuselages) that are hollow but DO NOT have any storage. They are just there to decrease weight, but not to store things

Hope this helps!
