linuxgurugamer Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) This is the TankLock module from @Redux, who has retired from modding and graciously gave permission for people to take over his mods. Tank Lock (1.1) Allows you to bind resource locking/unlocking to action groups on a per-tank basis. Requires Module Manager (part sold separately). Be warned, the included Module Manager script will blindly add this PartModule to every part with a resource in it. License: BSD 2-clause.

You know those little checkboxes next to the resources when you right-click on a fuel tank that make them usable or not? This mod makes those controllable by action group. Especially good for creating drop tanks now that atmospheric engines draw equally from all tanks instead of the outermost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deimos Rast Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) I have wanted this feature since forever, and here you are, once again, delivering gold, thank you! --edit-- Bug report of Kerbin shattering dimensions: When you extract the archive, it comes out "Gamedata" with a lower case d, instead of the proper "GameData". The horror! Yup. Edited April 29, 2016 by Deimos Rast edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxgurugamer Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 New release: 0.2.2: Add support for fuel-switched parts. Thank you Alexical Parts that use fuel-switching modules often don't provide static RESOURCE nodes. This expands the matching criteria to include fuel-switched parts.

TheRagingIrishman Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 How does this mod handle tanks that hold more than one resource? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterFister Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Does this mod allow for in-flight fuel-switching? Can I launch a tank from KSC with LFO, empty it during flight, and land at a drilling rig on Minmus and fill the same tank with ore for liftoff to Minmus orbit?

No. That's not at all what this mod does. All this does it let you toggle a tank locked or unlocked through action groups instead of by hand.

MisterFister Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I admit to having been rather "aggressively hopeful." Is there anything that would allow for what I described? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could download USI_CORE from https://github.com/BobPalmer/USI_Core/releases which will just give you switchable tanks and reactors.

I'm sure someone can code it, but a tank is built for a specific purpose, it can't just be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxgurugamer Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 New release: 0.2.3 Update TankLock.cfg in the src folder. Exclude parts that have solid fuel or ablator.

Errol Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) @linuxgurugamer There have been a couple of mods in the past that intelligently stop control surfaces from being used in orbit, but neither seem to be currently updated. Just wondering if you could add a control lock AG for control surfaces to this mod, since it would be useful for SSTOs like this mod, and has a very similar purpose. EDIT: To make it nice and simple, it could be an action group for the actuation toggles. Just having the ability to turn them all on and off at once, with an AG would be great.

linuxgurugamer Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 I'm currently using Control Surface Toggle in 1.6.1, works fine. And the author is still active, was last on the forums on Feb. 19. Maybe ask him to update it for 1.6.1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
