Superfluous J 14,818 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Oooh love the work lamps, will they function like the deployable science experiments? I thought the stock inventory system needed more stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElWanderer 157 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 This makes me very happy. I guess the work lights will be good for setting up screenshots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoMrBond 797 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) Light changes? Is KSP's lighting [system, and associated modules] being updated (now possible because of the new single camera system I'm guessing)? Edited October 29 by NoMrBond question clarity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank_G 1,688 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Nice touch. This will add a lot of character to upcoming spaceship designs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VoidCosmos 875 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 I smell something to do with mining! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KeaKaka 210 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Nice! I was just wondering about lights yesterday, this is a great thing to see in stock! Will the current lights also get texture switches and colour changes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GuessingEveryDay 466 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Or maybe an overhaul of aviation parts! The wings are pretty old. *Research hours later* Wow... They've been in the game since 0.15. But I can't find when they changed the look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the stock inventory system needed more stuff. Yes they're deployable like the BG parts. The inventory system released with BG has always been part of the stock game code (in case modders wanted to use it), it was just not turned on in the UI because there weren't any stock parts that'd go in an inventory before.

fourfa 1,240 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Do I spy tiny solar panels on the work lights? So they just work anywhere, and don’t have to tie into the science power system? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justadutchguy 6 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Oh so nice! Now I can make awesome window ports in my builds! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raptor9 2,820 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 I foresee Kerbal street racers on the runway using those light strips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IMO pretty much all of Porkjet's work stands up really well. There are things that I'd like changed about wings (pwings perhaps), but their look isn't really one of them.

Yellowburn10 249 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Very nice touch, it always slightly bothered me that in terms of lighting we really only had a big light, a slightly bigger light, and landing gear light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R-T-B 1,122 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Please tell me you guys are finally switching to deferred rendering with this update... the forward rendering system you are using now for lighting is pretty painful to work with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RealKerbal3x 4,382 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Oh wow, this was really unexpected but really cool! I can't wait to set up a few of these around my Mun base 8 hours ago, Maxsimal said: That's right, you won't need those parts from BG to use these. What about powering them during the night, when solar power isn't available? Can we still link them up to a BG RTG if we want? Do they have some kind of small internal batteries?

kerbiloid 10,090 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 (edited) 1. Do they turn in pumpkins every Halloween? Spoiler 2. A handheld electrodynamical flashlight for Kerbals. Spoiler Quickly press U-U-U-U-U-U-... to get the light. 3. Can the lights power the solar arrays to get EC to power the lights? 3a. Can we use them as a low-thrust photon engine? 4. Lava lamps? Street lanterns? 5. Will it crash the light-dependent mods completely? 6. Kerbatman spotlight. For Kerbal face on the Moon. Edited October 30 by kerbiloid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
