The vessel might be re-rooted? Everytime I see vessel going RUD is because they have been built with an old version of KSP and/or with a mix of re-root and part clipping

Question: is it 1.9.1 compatible???

Your vessel has been re-rooted. VesselMover doesn't like vessel which re-root parts.

hello there,

got a little problem with the mod, when i try to spawn a vessel he always appears stuck on the ground like this:

I can't switch to the vessel because it says it's moving and it make the game really laggy too.

I tried on different save, on different launchpad and with different vessel but it's always the same.

I tried to remove all the mods i got and with different version of the mod but nothing change.

Any idea what can cause this ?

Usually, all the problems related with spawning vessels using vessel mover are caused by a change of the root part. If you start building a new ship and stick with the same root part you should not have any problem.

I tried with other ship with the the same root part and also tried to spawn just a 1 part ship to test but its the same.

It's not been mentioned in this thread but it seems a) like a great pity VesselMover is unable to situate a craft upon the surface of any planet other than Kerbin; and b) that it would not be hard to modify it to do so?

VM declines to take control of a vessel that "is not landed".  I'd be quite happy to Alt-F12 my vessel into low orbit around, say, Eve, and then activate VM to take it under control and lower it to the surface at the location I desire.

Would you please consider this?  Here's why it is important.  The design of a craft that is intended to fly on Eve might perhaps ONLY fly on Eve (not Kerbin, Duna or Laythe) and therefore, its testing needs to occur on Eve.

You could use the cheat menu 'set position' function in conjunction with Vessel Mover.

I am very familiar with Set Orbit which will set you in orbit in space, but will not land you.  I did Alt-F12: Cheats: Set Orbit but don't see Set Position anywhere.

It's a recent addition in 1.9, if you're not yet on that version. It should appear as an option under Set Orbit.

It's a bit difficult to get the hang of, as it requires entering target coordinates. But using Vessel Mover in conjunction with it should be easier, as VM just uses simple drag handles.

HyperEdit mod already does that and much more. Personally I always use HyperEdit to land on other planets and once I am there then I use Vessel Mover to spawn more vessels quickly.

Finally. I'm not going to add any other feature to this mod. I'm just doing the basic maintenance to make it work for each KSP release.

Fair enough, and thanks for that, too!  Have a good day.

I thinks i found a solution to my problem if anyone encounter it.

So i instaled the mod with CKAN rather than manualy and now it spawn stuff fine.

Don't really now what changed tho, i looked the ckan files for the mod and the one gived on github but they seems to be exactly the same.

Anyway thanks for the answer and for keeping those great mods alive !

Hi @jrodriguez, first and foremost thanks for the amazing mods  

This is just a heads-up in case you need info for Vessel Mover in 1.10. I noticed that Vessel Mover is working partially fine in 1.10. It moves the vessels nicely,  just the Vessel Spawn function is returning a NullReference. I can also share my log if you need.

Cheers and once again thanks for the amazing mods

Confirmed, pressing the Load button after selecting a ship does nothing but a NullRef.

Please fix it ASAP so I can test my F-35s in a squadron.

Cheers

Can't spawn Vessel in version 1.10...

Most mods don't work in 1.10.X. Do NOT use any mods in 1.10.x unless they specifically say they are 1.10 compatible.

[bcqJC 67]

For me, it works on KSP 1.10.1.  VM is version 1.9.0.

There is an issue though (which I've had since KSP 1.9 but I just considered it a minor one)...  When spawning a vessel in any other body, VM freezes after loading the craft.  Until I found out the workaround, I thought that the game itself froze.  The workaround is to select the spawned craft by pressing "]" (switch to next vessel).  If that doesn't work, try previous vessel.  Actually, I was already using EasyVesselSwitch for dealing with groups of kerbals so for me, I just ALT-LMB click the spawned vessel to select it.

[jrodriguez 1,080]

Hi all,

I just did a new recompile of Vessel Mover for KSP 1.10.1

You can download it from here: https://github.com/jrodrigv/VesselMover/releases/tag/v1.10.0

Enjoy!

[wasml 371]

A brief test in 1.10.1 and was able to move a vehicle with the BG scan arm on it!

[Neros7 13]

My aircraft carrier doesn't want to move when moved into the water by vessel mover, but i don't know if it is the carrier or vesselmover

Aircraftcarrier: Nimitz

Edit: no fault of Vesselmover it must be FAR

I have the same problem and I didn´t changed the root part and vessel mover is still doing it.

Does this work with ksp 1.11?
