Less colliders in flight = less performance hit.

That's very good to know... Considering what I have planned for decals.

[Enceos]

@JadeOfMaar This little creative touch gives so much awesomeness to the crafts 

[JadeOfMaar]

Yes, yes it does @Enceos And your examples are great, however, I would advise against painting your radiators, for totally legit reasons.

I paint my crafts with the "Rust-Oleum" brand %) they withstand 1000K.

[JadeOfMaar]

Rust-Oleum. Excellent.

Spoiler

I see what you did there

It is also possible to hide a light behind the decals

@blackheart612 What do you think about making an emissive decal as well? It won't support transparency, but will look good with opaque decals. And a mesh switch from rectangle to a circle, with a circle UV at the center of a texture.

My simple mission patches would benefit from that immensely: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hic4nwxx8fl6a88/KerbalHacksFlags.zip?dl=0

You can use them to pinpoint the UV position.

@Enceos It's possible of course. Though I'm currently working on AP+ most of the time, extensively so I might not be able to get around that sooner.

@Enceos  I'll keep that in mind. I keep forgetting to check the all layers post to use it to advantage. And it indeed is an awesome plugin.

I've updated the list here :

Modeling is a simple thing. What I need more of is time 

[LaytheDragon]

Cool! I can't wait to use this mod to fake a Mun landing at a more exotic location, and for custom stick-on textures for vessels. I imagine I could probably even use it to make rocket parts look spaceplane-y on spaceplanes, and vice versa.

This looks great! Downloading now Thankyou

[vontreigo]

waiting for someone to try to use this to full texture their aircraft with camo on top and white on bottom.

[SpaceastronautX]

Thanks :3

I used a white aviation light for that, they have the right light distance and intensity.

The bundled Firespitter is usually only the core which allows for the switching functions of the decal and most other variable parts. It's not the entire Firespitter with all the airplanes and other stuff.

I asked earlier if I could add any custom sticker, how would I do that? Just add images to the flag folder for KSP and edit some file somewhere in gamedata/Blackheart?

Unless it has changed in a particular update, you need to add the sticker in the In the cfg files located in the blackheart folder as you have realised.  It is each of the part cfgs.

You can make your own folder in gamedata with a sub folder for flags for example I created AngleCanMods/Flags/variousflagnames.png and then change or replace the following in the relevant Module in the part cfg.

    textureRootFolder = AngleCanMods\
    textureNames = Flags\ACA ; Flags\ACC ; Flags\ACE ;  Flags\ACG ; Flags\ACL ; Flags\ACN ; Flags\ACsmallA ; Flags\ACTXRose ; Flags\ACTXRose
    objectNames = sticker125;sticker250;sticker375
    textureDisplayNames = AngleCan A;AngleCan C;AngleCan e;AngleCan g;AngleCan l;AngleCan n;AngleCan a;AngleCan TXRose;AngleCan TVRose 

Hope this helps.

Peace.

Looks very cool but I need an link for KSP 1.2 and not 1.2.2

[blackheart612]

@SpaceastronautX Just get the firespitter for 1.2 and it will work. The uploaded version works only for 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 as far as I know.
