@DiscoveryPlanet Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that is an issue related with this beta right?  I mean you don't need to use this beta to see exactly the same behaviour that with the last official release. Am I right?

exactly, this anomaly actually happened when i first time used BDArmory (not remember about the version)

just want to share because when i updated my BDarmory mod,  this anomaly still happen

That's fine. But this thread is specific for this Beta testing and its new features. I think you should be using the main thread of BDArmory  and of course to report Issues you should go here:

I know its probably for lag control, or variable fx lengths for the damage system, or maybe it is an issue, but I think the fire fx is pretty short. Got my fuel tank hit and fire burned for a few seconds and then just stopped.

Another question, does the damage system take range into account? Not trying to make things complicated, just a suggestion if you really dare to do it :)

Is it possible to set part minimum armor thickness to something lower than 10? I'm not having any luck trying to change armor values below the default minimum with MM for some select parts.

So I guess I should have looked in here first before answering you in the BAD T thread :rolleyes:

There are some parts that needed custom hp and armor settings which are probably the parts you are having problems with .... I posted a bunch of info in the BAD T thread but will link the post here for others who are following this

Yes, that would be mainly for controlling lag .... think about large battles and having multiple hits on multiple craft at the same time, this would bring your computer to it's knees if the fires were burning all over the place for long periods

No sense in having lots of cool visuals if it makes the game unplayable for the majority of users

Is there a way i can change it via a cfg or looking into the code itself?

I added a part config ignore settings. Looks for the name if it "contains" and will exclude (https://github.com/jrodrigv/DestructionEffects/blob/master/FlamingJoints.cs#L189)

To make this work there has to be _some_ armor , think of it as simulating thickness of metal, not so much the "type" of metal, there is no physical material difference in KSP.
When I calculate penetration for ballistic damage I need to have at least 0.1 or you will get no damage or as a multiply by 0 may occur. 10 is the minimum and really won't stop anything ballistic or otherwise.

I meant the burn time itself, I can't seem to find it in @SpannerMonkey(smce)'s link he gave me

Please forgive my stupidity, I'm a noob at coding and can only do a little bit of lua languaged scripting :blush:

Higher numbers shrink faster

@Murican_Jeb and I'd also question the validity of the pursuit.  This pic below is using DFX and BDA of course nothing else, the smoke you see are coming from fuel fires on the lower decks, this vessel is 120 meters long,  it lasted for another 5 mins before it sunk, and at no time in that 5 mins did the smoke diminish much, and the fires still raged as it wen tdown, now this is one ship, the other s out of scene, and half the size of the BB's . More parts more detail more individual rather than merged module more FX, You're never going to get great FX from six parts resembling an aircraft , smoke and flames, but nothing like below.

And as a matter of interest we're getting explosions in Dev testing that are hauling monster overclocked machines down to clockwork frame rates, so be very careful what you do, as it wil have repercussions at some point.

1. No tracers
2. Low fps when shooting from a machine gun
 

 

Yeah QA should not be done at 2AM - I broke the bullets - fixed here

I have two suggestions.

1. AFAIK, making armor thicker has no effect on mass.

2. I think the blast radius parameter should be user-customizable. It allows greater flexibility for making different weapons.

Regarding 1. We are aware of that and we don't like either but so far we didn't find a way to increase it. On the other hand you can always use armor panels instead. 

Regarding 2. The blast radius parameter is an auto calculated value depending on the explosive mass of the missile. If you want the flexibility you can always use modular missiles that will allow you to add enough tnt to blow up the entire KSC

What I meant by "flexibility" was this: take a look at a bunker buster bomb. They have high power, but not a large blast radius. Now look at napalm. It has the opposite. It affects a large area, but isnt very powerfull against non-flammable objects. IMO, the TNT mass+Blast radius combination seems most realistic and user flexible. Just my opinion. :)

In the latest build, every single gun has a muzzle velocity of 1030m/s, regardless of ammo type or what speed they've been configured to have in the BD_Bullets.cfg,
Also of note, any round with 'caliber = x.xx' set to something less than 11mm will not do more than 0.01 damage, regardless of muzzle velocity or projectile weight.

I don't think I've had the muzzle vel problem, but yes, every gun under 11mm seems to do 0.01 damage.

Has anyone of you got the issue that weapons would deplete all ammo, ignoring rpm settings, and do no damage at all?

I guess this might be an issue with custom particle effects, since no actual change has been applied to old parts. A part has been submitted to @gomker and hopefully we could work out a solution, or ALL NAS weapons would be completely useless.
