KIS Weight belt

[ZZetho]

This is my first mod, it adds a weight belt to KIS.

 

Demonstration ▼

As you can see when the weight belt is in the kerbals inventory their ability to jump is severely decreased, when the kerbal enters the water they simply walk around on the bottom instead of floating. the weight belt cam be removed at any time and the kerbal will rise to the surface. 

note: Kerbals will not get pulled of ladders by buoyancy so the belt cam be equipped while already underwater and on EVA.

 

another note:  the belt cannot be "equipped" because i don't know how to do that but it doesn't matter because that is only visual with this mod. it also cannot be radial attached because i also don't know how to do that so it is recommended that it is stored in KIS containers.

To install:  put the folder labeled weight belt in your KSP's GameData folder.

Good! Now we can explore the depths.

One question, why do you need KAS as a dependency? From what I see, KIS should be enough.

Now that you mention it i'm not actually sure. I guess i just included it because they usually go together. Whoops. It shall be removed.

Scuba Kerb has been a thing for awhile now ... no dependencies, not even module manager

The video is from over a year ago when Scuba kerb was only usable with the Scuba tanks, now no tanks are needed 

Even has the bends and nitrogen narcosis

To be honest this was originally started to help me build an underwater base but then i thought i'd done a pretty good job and published it without looking for other similar mods first. So that's why this also exists.

I also plan to make a full underwater base parts mod but i honestly have no idea where to even start with that.

It's unsafe to swim deep without a properly functioning helmet! Only a couple of days ago I saw movie "Underwater". So, I know what I'm saying
