KSP Mods - Transparent Command Pods Repressurized

Transparent Pods

Cabin Notes

  • Having multiple transparent pods in physics range is very resource intensive. Too many will crash the game.
  • Flight HUD will render Black instead of Green in OpenGL mode.
  • Lighting direction from Sun incorrect in IVA at some parts of day, due to Squad's funky IVA orientation setup.
  • One of the stack nodes on Mono Pod will snap to, but not attach to other stack nodes, if the Mono Pod is not the root part.
  • Micro lander legs clip into ground if retract/deployed while landed. same appears to happen with the smallest stock lander leg.

View full album (previous incarnation)

Help Wanted

  • Would love someone to convert landing legs to Stock and/or KSPWheel
  • Variant Textures and code to make it work always welcome!
  • Model updates to Unity 2019
  • Have a request? Glad to have them, kindly submit through GitHub.

made my day:

 

changelog:

fixed the electricCharge in the cycloPod by unplugging Val's kPod... (maxEC was 70, should have been 75). Release incoming.

 

thank you to Kottasbos Gaming for reviewing (and finding Val's lost kPod) in this glorious mod!

 

PS - I want the .craft file for that bugzapper or is it spaceSquidHopper (or the other name for a space squid)!

Awesomesauce, I used to love these pods back in my 0.9 career, but they sadly became incompatible with later versions.

Great to see them back, thank you :)

I have to ask - and it's fine if this is beyond your interest, it really is just a query I've been sitting on for 3 years - is it possible to give the kerbal's chair a toggle-able orientation? As in allow us to flip between facing "forwards" for launch and orbital flight, and "outwards" for landings?

Installed via CKAN version has another 2 (testing?) legs: 
KSPWheel-microLegRadial.cfg and Stock-microLegRadial.cfg, and one of them doesn't extend.
Did you forget to remove them from archive?

And MicroKlaw maybe need to be in the "Coupling" instead of "Utility".

you are most certainly welcome. apologies for the delay in answering -

Q: can the pods have multiple 'orientations'.

A: Yes, in fact this new feature was just recently introduced several updates ago into stock. All three pods should have a button on the PAW/RMB that allows you to switch(cycle through) orientation between two or more orientations.

        name = ModuleCommand

Yes, forgot. Also was hoping someone with more knowledge of KSP-Wheel and or the new stock wheel/gear would like them enough to update and submit the changes. They are removed in the next version. I will provide a ghost.cfg to prevent any save game issues (*knocking on wood*). Make sure you back up your game before updating, just in case.

Most likely it will be fine.  It’s a parts-only mod

It is what I thought as well... but like all things was going to test it out. I will give an update if for whatever reason it has an issue.

Any updates on if this mod works on 1.8.1? I am planning to try it within the next several days but thought I would check before I did.

Have not heard of any issues so am just letting it be maybe until 1.9.1.

Do kindly tell me if you find any (unreported issues). 1.8.x did not fix the one issue that cannot be fixed (see above).

Will do. I am collecting the last few mods I need to complete my set and then will give it a test run. :)

If so, then consider adding 1.8.x to the thread's subject line to minimize these sorts of questions

I don't know if this is a problem with the mod or one of the other numerous I have installed, but I have an issue where the IVA is always visible ontop of the outside view.  It only happens with these pods, but they are the most beautiful, so I want to keep using them.

I'm using ksp 1.8.1.

Do you have JPLRepo's 'Transparent Pods'  installed? (soft-dependency)

Also - for future reference - try 'pinging' the OP - by using the @ name (no space)

@syngen :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS - I really need to update the Readme (and do a new release)

@zer0Kerbal

Thanks for the reply.  I do have JSI installed.  Are there any known compatability problems with other mods?  I do have rather a lot installed, I only found this game around christmas....and went a bit mental.

It must have worked previously, as I haved launched a spacestation with one of the pods as the root part, but even that station seems to have this problem now.

welcome to the game!

try this - type the @  symbol and start typing my name - it should bring up a list - select it - and you get @syngen. :D

To answer your question - no - but there is a large caveat on the OP about a known, unfixable glitch.

I copied this for the link:

I have bumped this mod up the queue for an update pass as well.
