[1.1.3] KSO (Kerbin Shuttle Orbiter) Legacy Packs & Development Updates

[Capt. Hunt 294]

Ok, I must have put it together wrong.  I tried one of the .crafts you made for the beta tests way back, and it worked.  It flew like a drunk, but it made orbit.

Can you also send me what you have for your patches?  I want to take a look again at whatever your most recent changes are.

OK, I'll PM you a DB link tomorrow evening. I just realized that I don't have my recent changes for the SSME's and boosters cataloged and online.

What I'm thinking is that I'll load the comm patches into 1.4.x and try them out this weekend.

They should work the same, I've haven't seen any issues with part mods and MM patches in the short time I've messed around with it. I won't do any serious playing until 1.4.3 drops and some of the more annoying bugs are squashed.

ok so, when I install this mod (KSO) and the other ones that it needs, when I'm in game and I launch it there is no smoke and no plume/fire coming out the engines

if anyone knows what would be wrong and how to fix it,  it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

That explains it.  1.4.x changed all kinds of stuff with smoke/plume effects.  They won't work for now.

If you're going to use them in 1.4.x you'll need to head over to the smokescreen thread and see what's new over there. 

There are a couple of us working on it, but speaking for myself, my time is very limited right now.

 

So to be clear, there is no official or unofficial support for the shuttles in 1.4..... yet.....

and do you know where I would put the KSO CONFIGS  files at.

 

[shdwlrd 377]

The fix for the plumes and exhaust fx are on this page. 

Change MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST into MODEL_MULTI_SHURIKEN_PERSIST  is from Sarbian

Since none of the patches touch the engine files, you'll have to edit the .cfg files directly. The files you are looking for are; omskso.cfg, thrustmaxkso.cfg, boosterkso.cfg, super25boosterkso.cfg, and super25enginekso.cfg. You can edit them with any text editor. But if you have something that can do search and replace, it makes it a lot quicker and easier.

Does anyone have a copy of the blank (nameless) Super 25 texture? I want to remake my old fleet of shuttles.

Thank you very much to all of you lovely people helping keep this thing alive. It is still one of the most beautiful mods for KSP, even after all this time.

Here you go, I think this is the original file:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1tzjj5vmpcoo65c/KSO_25Blank.tga?dl=0

I made a .PSD paintkit for it too, I would post it but I'm not sure that it would be allowed under the license.

Thank you for your help. I'm terribly sorry to be a pain, but it appears as though that's the file for the Reliant. If you can't find the blank file, don't worry about it. I'll have another search of my old files tomorrow and see if I can stumble across it.

[Capt. Hunt 294]

That's odd, I don't see any names on that texture.

 

Edited May 21, 2018 by Capt. Hunt

[CommanderSmith 57]

Okay, that was weird. Turns out that the name "Reliant" appears when I open the file in GIMP, but not when I actually use the texture in-game. How interesting.

Anyway, thank you so much for your help, @Capt. Hunt. I can now have my old fleet of shuttles back ready to fly again.

Edited May 21, 2018 by CommanderSmith

[Capt. Hunt 294]

ok, I figured out what's going on, the alpha channel still has Reliant on it.  Somehow Gimp is showing that part of the texture.

[smotheredrun 327]

@Capt. Hunt or @CommanderSmith,  do you know of a good "easy" way to turn *.tga into *.dds?  The texture threads in these forums are a bit too far over my head

Dead mod?

As in actively being developed and updated, yes it's dead. There are some users that are doing what they can without violating the licensing to keep the mod relevant and usable with the current versions of KSP.
