[1.12.x] B.Dynamics - Retracting/vectoring engines, Critter Crawler

DarkGod · January 14, 2018

The crawler is back? YEAH!

*reinstalls KSP*

You rock!!!

linuxgurugamer · January 14, 2018

New release, 1.3.2.1:

Fixed node at bottom of Critter Crawler

Mystique · January 15, 2018

That critter crawler is SO COOL! I spent an hour just slapping together stupid contraptions and running around KSC :0.0:

Eskandare · January 15, 2018

Thank you @linuxgurugamer this mod and plugin was missed very much.

Scorpiodude · January 16, 2018

Thanks for updating this! The radial jet engines are ridiculous with the amount of power they have for such a small engine, It's hilarious! :sticktongue:

I can't get the Critter Crawler to install via CKAN =(

Manual installation ftw

What's the error?

Jivaii · February 2, 2018

Was saying it couldn't modify the BahaSP folder contents, as they are owned by another mod.

It wasn't liking that I had the animation module installed, and when it tried to install it itself, it'd make itself fail

It sounds like you installed some mods by hand. If not, then a complete list of your mods is needed, so I can find out which other mod has the same file names.

It should also say the file name in the error message.

CKAN is working fine, it is doing what it is supposed to do.

I'm wondering if you installed the BDAnimation Modules for another mod by hand, and then CKAN is trying to overwrite it.

Has anyone made a tweakscale cfg for any of these parts yet? Just wondering before I make one myself.

ISE · February 17, 2018

@linuxgurugamer does this tweaksacle cfg seem to look as if it would work? Just wanted see if you approved of it and wanted to adopt it into the mod...

Used RLA tweakscale cfg as a template. Let me know if I made any mistakes.

Edit- I also did not put the critter crawler in the tweakscale because I was not exactly sure what to list it as.

Have you tried it out? It looks reasonable, but what were your results?

Haven't run into any issues so far, so I guess it checks out.

Like whether or not to list it as an electrical module tweak or something else.

List it as both electrical module, wheels, and rocket

Been busy so will get to it eventually.

Okay so apparently it is very buggy when I scale the parts using mirrored mode, the VAB locks up and I cannot do anything pretty much. I just read back at original thread where this issue was first seen from the looks of it. Top comment on that page.

In which case I'm not going to include the TS patch, sorry. I don't need more headaches.

So I just looked into the Tweakscale configs, and the setting you set is the "type = free", whic means that there are 5 different sizes available:

10%
50%
100% (original)
200%
400%

Since I don't really see a need for these parts to be scaled down, all that's needed is a MM patch to copy the configs and make two additional sizes for each.

Look in the Tweakscale file: ScaleExponents.cfg to see multipliers of various part and module values

Virtualgenius · March 8, 2018

Thankyou for restoring these parts i used the engines alot on landers they are really good for ground clearance

RaccoonTOF · April 7, 2018

Just wondering if this is an actual problem with the mod, or if I've got some other conflict somewhere causing this. The image below shows the RCS ports plume effects "reversed" from the direction of the RCS thrust (probe core pictured is "forward", RCS is thrusting with H translation. Same occurs on all other directions). The thrust itself applies correctly in use, just the visuals are opposite what I would expect (and also a LOT larger than I would have expected from the original screenshots...)

EDIT: after looking into the part config and doing a bit more digging on the forums, it appears to be an issue with all parts using ModuleRCS.
