[1.4.x - 1.7.x] Procedural Fairings For Everything! v1.6.1 [02-05-2019]

[pap1723]

@Felger originally created this mod a long time ago, and it became part of the KSP-RO group of mods. Here is the original forum post: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/114189-11x-procedural-fairings-for-everything-v020-july-4/&

 

Procedural Fairings For Everything!

Procedural Fairings For Everything (PFFE) replaces / adds to fairings and fairing bases in mods to use Procedural Fairings instead of the stock fairings, or the various other means that mods have come up with to add fairings to their packs. The more recent versions support the stock part variants as well as coloring from Textures Unlimited.

Features

• Fairing bases upgraded to use Procedural Fairings
• Interstage bases upgraded to use Procedural Interstages
• Decouplers used as Interstage Bases when not available
• Many fairing textures from blackheart612, Ravenchant, MeCripp, and pap1723
• Full colorization using texture masks supported by Textures Unlimited
• Texture Switching using the Part Variant system in stock

 

 

 

Supported Mods

• Stock
• Ven's Stock Revamp
• KW Rocketry
• NovaPunch
• Realism Overhaul

 

Requirements & Installation

These required mods are not included with the download so you will need to get them on your own. We highly reccomend CKAN to install PFFE.

Fairing Shape Reference

With the newest release of Procedural Fairings, you can now completely design your own fairing shape. We have decided to remove all of the individual fairing shapes that were previously released as parts. This cleans up the very cluttered VAB, but with the drawback of not having the pre-built shapes you may have used before. Here is a reference to the settings you should have in order to make the fairing shapes the same as previous parts.

In order to be able to edit the shape of the fairing:

1. Right click on the fairing side
2. Click Base Auto-shape to OFF
3. Click Nose Auto-shape to OFF
4. Input the numbers here

Here are the different shapes:

WOW! Nice! So does this mean that I don't have to download module manager?

Only if you already downloaded it . 

Thanks @pap1723!

Just to be clear, do the instructions for shapes apply equally to Proc Fairings (your other post) as well as this (Proc Fairing For Everything)?  Is there any way to 'save' a preset or will I need to re-enter values every build?

So Procedural Fairings is the one that implements all of these shapes. So yes, these presets work inside there. It will remember it each time, but only for the part. So once you get a shape you like, save it and the base as a Subassembly and then you can just pick from there.

That is actually something that i forgot to implement back in the KSP 1.4 days. I was envisioning a similar system to Procedural Parts (named predefined shapes) but:

• being able to tweak the fairing shape in-game (as it is currently done)
• being able to have custom pre-defined shapes in a list (something that Procedural Parts is missing)

Would require some rework of PF (and extra config files that are user-friendly) but i think it can be done.

Oh! I misread the bit about module manager.

[fitiales]

I think yesterday I was too bored! 

[pap1723]

Nice @fitiales!

Did you add all of those for your game?

Yes it is.
The size does not increase too much, they are only 13mb.
If you are interested I can upload it to dropbox or similar.

@fitiales any chance I can get a copy of your awesome looking fairing logos pack please?

Made the move from KSP 1.3.1 to 1.6.1 and now some crafts are broken. Getting this error message: 

 

[...] parts missing: ''KzProcFairingFuselage2''

 

(also getting this for ...Fuselage1). Installed via CKAN. How to fix?

 

Thanks,

[Gordon Dry]

There is a sanity fix in RP-0 aka. RP-1;
GameData\RP-0\Parts\ProcFairingFix.cfg

+PART[KzProcFairingSide1]:FOR[RP-0]
{
	@name = KzProcFairingFuselage1
	@title = Egg-Shaped Fuselage Fairing (Deprecated)
	@description = Legacy part to make sure that old crafts would still load. To make interstage fairings, use regular payload fairings and disable decoupling.

	//!MODULE[ProceduralFairingDecoupler] {}
	
	@MODULE[ModuleToolingPFSide]
	{
		%toolingType = KzProcFairingSide1
	}
}

+PART[KzProcFairingSide2]:FOR[RP-0]
{
	@name = KzProcFairingFuselage2
	@title = Conic Fuselage Fairing (Deprecated)
	@description = Legacy part to make sure that old crafts would still load. To make interstage fairings, use regular payload fairings and disable decoupling.

	//!MODULE[ProceduralFairingDecoupler] {}
	
	@MODULE[ModuleToolingPFSide]
	{
		%toolingType = KzProcFairingSide2
	}
}

If you're on stock without RO / RP-0 you can create a new stock compatible patch based on that, if you know how.
