MagPie Mods

@Skonk Whats so great about Restock? I have to see for my self. Also most of the structural plates/panels are missing shininess from their other variants, you know dark, silver, gold, i think also most of the couplers are missing shininess+metalness from their variants only on two couplers the last variant works proper :

Spoiler

@Skonks, I just found a texture issue with the Kerbal Atomics Aale:

 

BTW a really great mod. All these shiny ships are fantastic

Fixed the Stack Couplers, The tester Pyramid

Restock's changes alot of the textures and some models, most noticeable on the engines, also makes the creases where parts meet smoother for some parts 

[Skonks]

Trying to make a deployable engines section,  can't seem to find which mesh I need to block, so far I've only managed to block every mesh except one I'm looking for   

[Moofrog]

@Skonks Good luck.

Found some more issues . In Stock the 1.85m Tanks are missing their shininess on the last orange/green variants.

In Restock(+) the Structural Tubes cannot change size but are overwritten with the variant textures you added.

Otherwise the shininess cant live without it

[Skonks]

Haha oh yeah, why on Kerbn did I put them in the cfg? 

Got them fixed, will try to add the 1875 variants should work like the 125s 

[Damienm]

can u use this in conjunction with restock?

[Skonks]

Yeahp there's a restock cfg in there

@Skonks

I know it works with Restock, but does it work with ScanSat, Restock+ or Space Y heavy lifters?

 

[Skonks]

I put SCANsat is in misc, Challyss wrote one for Restock+ in a previous comment, is included in the download

 

I haven't done one for Space Y, shaders should work if you empty a cfg and fill in the paths for it

[rettter3]

Oh.Shiny:

 

Settings are Smoothness and Metal both 1. In the VAB, it's almosst invisible.Thx again

[Damienm]

is there a global config or do i need to edit the values for each part ?

So this is more like a plugin than a mod? That’s awesome!

[Captain Mathus]

Ive noticed the Fairings are not shiny even though the fairing base is, or do I have a separate mod interfering with it, im using restock, restock +, and a bunch of other mods

[La Baleine]

Hi,

How can apply this mod for MarkIV by Nertea ?

 

Edited March 24, 2020 by La Baleine

[Skonks]

Yeah pretty much, TU is the real mod making the magic happen, this just makes it so TU knows what to target

Fairly Global, you can usually put all the parts from a mod in one section. you will need cfgs for each mod as it wont apply to everything only things in the cfgs

Yeah fairings are kind of strange, they have a texture file for the caps but there's no shader applied to them in the configs? Without the shader I can't swap the ksp/bumpedspec to the sstu/metallic shader thats how i got the tank variants work 

[Skonks]

Make a copy of a cfg, then delete all the model =s out of it 

Rewrite it for the Mk4 Parts e.g.        model = Mk4/parts/aero/modelfilename     (target the files that end .mu you don't need the .mu part in the cfg)

 

You can sometimes double check paths in the part cfg files. Find a folder with more than one model, then cfg's should have a: model = Path/to/part  line you can copy

What happens when you set/apply a shader to them in the config?

[Skonks]

Not a whole lot ha, I've tried putting the metallic shader in every section to do with textures but it still doesn't do anything in any of them, still just normal fairings. 

[Challyss]

@Skonks Thanks for mentioning me in the cfg files, but you can use a regular file name, I didn't help for the fame xD

About fairings, I've been using SimpleAdjustableFairings, they work with MagpieMods (just need to make a cfg file, no tweaks required).

I think it should work with Procedural fairings too, because in both case the fairing is a part.

Stock fairings are a "function" (something built on the go) so that may be why it can't be accessed so easily.

[Chris10anD]

The mod works properly in the VAB, but outside all the parts are really dark and barely shiny at all. Is there a way to fix this?

[Skonks]

no worries I'll always give credit if someone sends me a cfg

yeah think you're right the stock ones seem to just be a flat texture layer you can kind of get a shine if you  use a really flat texture but the they look a bit odd haha

i should have cfg for procedural fairings soon been working through making my RO game look shiny, bug tests are going slower due to the load times haha

[Skonks]

That's strange, I did have a similar bug once, turned out I'd forgot KittopiaTech on a new install, that's the only time I've seen it happen though?

[Krzeszny]

I wish this mod had premade configs, such as for less smoothness and for less metal. Changing the smoothness manually for each file is pain.

[hendrack]

Contares Core, NAM, RUS got the shiny treatmeant, I'll add the other Contares mods later this week. I am in the "too shiny for my eyes" crowd, adjust to your liking.
