This seems like something that, you know, should just be in the game.

It took me way to long to get used to that stock doesn't make a metallic "thumb" when hitting another part. Game doesn't feel natural without.

This makes all the time I spend watching my landers rolling down hills (again) much more entertaining. Thanks!

Oh yes! Thanks for updating this fantastic mod. Now back to making some new stuff!

I get a ton of lag when the sparks come out, and I'm on a very beefy system. I tried to edit the config, but turning "scrapeSparks = true" to false causes the scrape sound to not work, either. Is there a way to get the sounds to work without the sparks?

I found 2 issues:

- If a part got hit hard enough, a small yellow light will appear where it was hit and the collision sound won't stop playing

- Kerbals produce sparks and scraping noises when they run on Kerbin

I like the mod but unfortunately it;s not for me it seems... When i try to launch a plane without landing gear (for testing purposes of course) it bings my usually around 50fps system down somewhere around 5 fps...

For reference, I have an i5-6600K @ 4.1Ghz, 16 GB RAM and a GTX 980 TI hooked up to a monitor at 3400x1440 resolution. And about 40 mods installed including Astronomers Visual Pack and Real plume. 

Is there any way to tune down on the amount of sparks? Or maybe disable them and keep the sounds or something? 

 

Thank you!

The yellow "light" and kerbals making the scrapes / sparks persist no matter what the settings are. Can confirm.

Hi there, @Grigetio I thought I'd post a friendly FYI type of thing regarding a log error I've seen on my 1.7.3 KSP install running v. 0.8.3.1.1 of CollisionFXUpdated.

Understanding of course that 1.7.3 isn't officially supported or compiled against, etc. for this version of the mod. But anyway here it is.

[ERR 22:26:47.521] Module CollisionFX threw during OnStart: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  at CollisionFXUpdated.CollisionFX.OnStart (StartState state) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at Part.ModulesOnStart () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 

I've been using CollisionFX since back-in-the-day, then saw the Updated version on CKAN (been back at KSP for about a month) so have been running with this for a while. I honestly wasn't looking at my logs that closely, until whilst researching other errors, I saw this one as well.

Any idea what this might be all about? Not asking for a compatibility upgrade or anything, just wondering out loud and hoping to clean up my install. TIA!

Would this work in 1.8? Looks awesome.

Easiest way to find out is to install it and try!   Report back with your findings, so others may know.

Just did (version 1.8.1), and it works as advertised, however the performance hit while parts are actually 'sparking' is TREMENDOUS.

 

I like to think that I have a fairly beefy system (Ryzen 2600, GTX970 and 16GB of RAM), and things crawled down to maybe, at most, 30FPM.  That's Frames per MINUTE.  As in, less than 1FPS.
Kind of a shame. It really looks nice when it works; which is when only one or two parts are touching the ground. But how often does that really happen?

[Falco01]

  I second Atlessa, only way to use the mod is to disable sparks for all parts via the configs, having an i7-4790 and gtx1060 with 32GB of ram, a craft hitting the ground (even at 2 or 3 points) slow the game to 0.2 fps. A debris of 2-3 parts work fine though, keeping the game at a good 60 fps.

  Other than that, tire smoke work but is shot far and always to the right of the part for some reasons. Didn't hear the tire squeak when landing however.
Thumping sound works with spark disabled and does not cause any noticeable drop in performance. I also noticed the sparks looked oversized (the size of a baguette tank) and had the same texture as in the older version of the mod when activated. However, they looked like the screenshots when performances were correct as stated above.

Hmm... KSPWheel had issues with dust effects, due to some unity references and/or shader/particle stuff being changed in the Unity 2019 upgrade for KSP...
i have no clue if this could be a similar issue, but might be worth checking out for someone? ... vOv

I think this might be a post where Shadowmage discusses it:

 

[serialblack]

has anyone found a workaround or a fix for the lag issues? Kinda hard to fly at 4-5 fpm lol

[Space Scumbag]

Would anyone pick this up? A new update would be really nice.

I have fixed this issue. The plugin needed to be updated to net 4.X
