[MOD] OFFICER RANK ADD-ON PACK FOR FINAL FRONTIER MOD

        

About six months ago, I was asked by a forum member to create a set of ribbons that could be used to designate rank using  @Nereid's Final Frontier mod. The only requirements made in the request was for the mod to designate four major types of officer career paths - air, sea, land, and space. The original requester did not respond to any of my private messages for additional parameters, so earlier this week I decided to finish the mod and release it to the general KSP forum public.

REPETITIVE STATEMENT: To use this mod add-on pack, you must have the following mod installed:

 

This mod add-on pack contains 44 images. The rank insignia was created with being able to instantly know the level of the Kerbal and the branch of service they are in. The structure is loosely based on a combination of the U.S. Army and Navy rank structures but with a twist - the ranks are equal in title across the board (a captain is a captain, regardless of branch). The only change in name structure is once you get to ranks above captain.

Rank Description	Ground Forces	Air Forces	Naval Forces	Space Forces
Trainee
Junior Lieutenant
Lieutenant
Major
Lieutenant Commander
Commander
Captain
Brigadier/Commodore
Lieutenant General/Lieutenant Admiral
Major General/Staff Admiral
General/Admiral

--

This add-on pack contains all 44 ranks, however, I will be willing to release each category as a stand-alone plug-in if there is enough interest in this mod.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Download the zip file from GitHub and extract the folder named "adsii1970" to your KSP's GameData folder.

KNOWN ISSUES:

There are very few known issues with this add-on pack. While I do not use this particular set of ranks for my games, I have thoroughly tested it with KSP v. .90, 1.1 and 1.2 without any problems providing you have an updated version of Final Frontier. Here's a list of possible issues and suggestions to resolve them:

• The ribbons in this pack are not visible:
  • This means you have another ribbon add-on pack that uses the same base ID number.
  • This can be resolved only two ways: 1) delete the other add-on pack OR contact me for a different config file. You must include the conflicting mod pack(s) and their config files before I can resolve the issue.
• The ribbons do not snugly fit against the stock ribbons by Nereid:
  • Yes, this is an optical effect and depends on your video driver and other video settings and...
  • Is contributed to because the beveled edges and shadows on my images and the images created by Nereid are slightly different.

SUPPORT:

Shoot me a private message and be sure to tell me the issue(s)you are experiencing. As long as you can provide me what I need, I will do my best to make the mod work.

PLANNED FEATURES:

Technically, this particular add-on is completed and there are no future plans to add additional images to the officer rank add-on pack. However, I do plan to make this add-on pack where it can be monitored by KSP-AVC.

Do you have the mod, Final Frontier, installed? It's a straight forward process if you do.

 

[adsii1970]

At the request of @Young_Keddish, I created a few images to use as rocket splashes and flags.

The rocket splashes:

 

His idea for these were to use these as both the United States and Soviet Space programs had horizontal lettering on their second-stage launch vehicles. To use these, in the VAB, use the new stock flags to place them in the desired location. In the PAW for the flag, change the setting from "horizontal" to "vertical."

The flags:

      

All of these images will appear in the flag selector area of the craft editor (or flagpole) under the "Agency" listing for flags.

Do not attempt to download these images from IMGUR and paste them into your Flags folder. Imgur does something funky to the metadata of the file. Whatever it is that they do to images may cause it not to appear or behave properly in the game.

How does one win said Threat of the Year?

[adsii1970]

It was a joke image. 2021 will be a joke image, too. I don't care how they are used. They're just for fun.

This is from the "because you asked" department. Enjoy the image for the "Threat of the Year, 2021." Please note, what threat of the year would not be complete without...
