Where are them ScanSat parts redesign at ?

Hello everyone, my problem is all in the title, honestly.
I am not a fan of the appearance of the Scan Sat parts, they're not very stock-alike and quite boxy imho. It is however a wonderful mod and I need it in every of my campaigns.

Now before you tell me that there are no remakes of these parts, I call jack on that because I used to have such a mod in a previous install of the game, but I have no idea which one it was... Maybe it even was part of a mod for al I know. So what I'm asking you today is if you know where this is from ?

Thanks alot for your help !

You're looking for Coatl Aerospace's ProbesPlus mod. That's a Xihe and a Landvermesser lander respectively, and there are alternative parts for each SCANsat ability in there too. Still works in v1.8(.1) as far as I can tell, it worked fine when I updated to v1.8 but I can't say for sure because I'm not currently using it in that version.

(edit: someone else ninja'd me to it)

You can also do it the hacky way and create a copy of the code from SCANsat (or the compatibility patch in probes plus) and point it at another part. Obviously you could do this for anything you like- a probe core, mystery goo container, solar panel, kerbal on EVA etc- but I'd say if you're going to go down that route pick a part that it would make (some) sense for. I did it for a rather obscure mod with a real satellite in it, then bumped up its pre-existing scanning to make it a dedicated mapping sat, which is more elegant than using a bunch of extra parts stapled on to a probe or ship.

Ah this is it ! Thank you so much ! I figured I was missing some cool probes by the way in my new campaign. I figured it wasn't such an issue with all the new ones added by BDB but since there's much more than that Ill get it as well.
This is a great mod. 
I'm playing on 1.7 still so it's fine ;)

I just hope it won't messwith my savefile but it's just added parts so it should be okay.

Thank you again !

Generally speaking, adding parts won't wreck save files. Taking them out, on the other hand, almost certainly will!

Friendly reminder- make sure you include everything in the probes plus GameData folder as the Firespitter bit is needed to change the textures, as I found out the hard way...

Well, I made a CKAN install, launching the game right now so we'll see i guess !

Thank you !

 

Edit : Well it didn't work. Ill try installing it manually instead and follow your advice !
