DirtyFace83 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Ah, that makes more sense. Amazing mod btw. Was basically an instant d/l. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Reonic Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 @cineboxandrew I am noticing little green ghost boxes around the decals. Have you noticed this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cineboxandrew Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 That’s intentional when the part is being hovered over. It’s so you can see the projection bounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cineboxandrew Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 I’m not sure what you mean. Is the highlighting just always on? Does hovering over the part and moving the cursor away fix it? There’s not even any code to do the highlighting here it’s entirely a stock thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoover2701 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 First off, this is absolutely brilliant! It makes rocket building that much more fun! Thank you very much for your work! An instant classic and must-have-mod! DJ Reonic is right though. The green cube sometimes shows up during flight even without hovering over the decal. If you aim the camera at the decal the effect vanishes. But it might occur randomly after that. There doesn't seem to be a logic to it. Here are two other screens (I didn't hover over the decals): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cineboxandrew Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Released version 0.1.1 Fixes: Fixed flag decal not adjusting to new texture sizes immediately.

Grem Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 cineboxandrew, Great mod! Thanks for your work! And I also have ghost boxes during the flight. Perhaps this is somehow connected with EVE or scatterer, these ghost boxes are mainly visible against the background of clouds. Spoiler In any case, this is the best addon with stickers for me!

Tonas1997 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I'm making a sort of a RealAgencies mod and I've been working on NEBULA compatibility patches. Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked at how your mod makes decals that much easier to use Now, I was looking at how to add those custom files to Conformal Decals, and got a bit worried when I discovered that all textures seem to need to be bundled on the same file, with the B9PartSwitch module defining each texture variant with an offset. Since I already have dozens of separate PNG files for each agency's logo, I'd like to know whether or not it is possible to just reference each texture file separately.

This is true of the Semiotic and Generic decals (the ones where you can cycle through the textures on a single part) But the Flag decal part is not so complicated. To get my decals working with this mod, I just put everything into 'Flags' folders with the parent folder organized alphabetically so there is at least some order to which the things appear. The mod did the rest when it searched for 'Flags' folders. For Example: MyMod/DecalsA/Flags/decal.xxx MyMod/DecalsB/Flags/decal.xxx will result in all textures in 'DecalsA/Flags' appearing above everything in 'DecalsB/Flags' in the list of flags when you click 'Select Flag'. And all of them will appear between all mods containing a 'Flags' folder with folder names that start with MX and MZ. Is it shoehorny? Yes. Is it a little more cumbersome than cycling through textures? Yes, and it's obviously preferable to keep decals and flags as separate entities so as not to clutter up the flag selection window with things that aren't flags, but as a way to get the stuff up and running, it's a good start, and the end result is basically the same. A shiny decal on your rocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shiny decal on your rocket. Gotcha. I'll probably try and use the pre-existing textures as flags, then. In that note, can the flags have any resolution/aspect ratio? I'm asking because, right now, I have two texture sets: Agency logos: RealAgencies/Assets/Telecommunications - 256x160, white background. They are not in a "Flags" folder, but get recognized by ConformalDecals as such, possibly because they're assigned to agents. NEBULA decals: RealAgencies/Assets/Nebula - 512x512, transparent background. These are the ones I want to port to conformal decals (as flags), because of their higher resolution and transparent backgrounds. If I'm correct, and if I want to keep both white (for the Mission Control menu) and transparent (for the decals) background logos, I'd end up with a cluttered "choose flag" menu containing almost duplicate textures, right?

The agency/mission patch decals are stock flag size (256x160) and the long decals I use are 200x800 and with the 0.1.1 version of this mod, they scale automatically. If I follow you correctly about the duplicates, then yes, unfortunately, using this method, you'll end up with duplicates (transparent/with background) in your flags menu. 10 minutes ago, Tonas1997 said: Agency logos: RealAgencies/Assets/Telecommunications - 256x160, white background.

The base game also picks up the 256x160 agent logo as a flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiling multiple decals across one texture is just one way to do it. See my post on the previous page for a suggested way to patch individual textures into the generic decal part.

hypervelocity Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 yes!!!! thank you @cineboxandrew!!!! I was long waiting for this, and I also had the Alien semiotic PNG in my Pictures folder for years now promising myself i'd crop them into decals for KSP and procrastinating ever since!

I'm assuming Procedural Fairings will allow it. That's my only complaint. I can't put logos and stuff on fairings, but I can still put logos on for whichever agencies that I'm completing contracts for on my rockets.

cineboxandrew Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Current roadmap: 0.1.3: Disable collision between decals and vessels/the ground (I finally figured out how) 0.2.0: Allow decals to project onto multiple parts Lunar Industries decal set 0.2.0 or 0.3.0: Text decals Thermal blanket wrap decals Heat shield tile decals (probably non-functional, we'll see) Solar panel decals (functional!)
