Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh!

IXS with FX!!!

Beside the good news about that: how did you felt the parts converted?
Are they, generally speaking, behaving correctly?

I haven't focused on the other parts- still recovering from my COVID vaccine shot. But I noticed that the WT-02 "Void" QV Thruster has a plume even when the engine isn't running.

@Araym Meantime here is the updated warp drive config:

I haven't focused on the other parts- still recovering from my COVID vaccine shot. But I noticed that the WT-02 "Void" QV Thruster has a plume even when the engine isn't running.

IXS sublight engines are "unconventional", to say the least. I didn't touch them in any shape or form, so all it must be traced back to their original coding.
Basically their plumes is governed by the plugin inside IXS mod itself (I think), that allows to change the color of the plume on the fly (alike it allows some similar properties in other parts, namely the old "RTGs" that I coded in the conversion as warp coils, that has a ring that can change color around them)

But your report is kind of intriguing me, because I never saw them keep going when the engine is not running (beside their different properties as FX, in my instal are working as they should)

convert stock my stock ore into Graviollium

I need to be totally honest. That's something that no one who takes this mod seriously will ever want to read.

I spent all my ideas (and probably even too much time: I made a full 18 hours session between the last saturday and sunday and probably burnt myself to the point to not seeing any solutions even if in front of my eyes...)

Any idea about fixing the warping FX

Thoughts on balancement: aside the converted parts related to "warping tech" (that follow, mathematically, the "Blueshift" balancement) and some tankage converted to it, I basically left the core of other parts as they are: warp rings and main hull has still TONS of EC and Xenon Gas (more or less on the same level as they have in the original version) for feeding their own, sublight, Xenon engines. That are indeed WAY POWERFUL. I dunno if they are well suited for a "realistic" gameplay, compared to other mods. I was thinking about different tech tree placement but I do not have any clear thoughts about it.

If anyone is willing to help, I can then eventually push a more public release.
Thanks in advance to anyone that could spend a bit of time on it with me.

All that matters for balancing the sublight engines on the IXS (and I'm being presumptuous) is that the EC demand is reasonably high and the TWR is reasonably low: I'm betting no more than 1 for a fully loaded, fully fueled ship without cargo. (Said cargo might easily weigh as much as 50% of the ship if cargo space is generous.)

I'm incapable to understand how to "bend" my orbit, when I'm closing to anything, in the end always going too low in the gravity well and loosing the warp engine. All thanks my old keyboard that need an hammer to get the inputs right.

In a semi-realistic warp travel scenario (I say semi because FTL is involved, but also, we're ignoring auto-circularization) you want to come out of warp with a very high Apoapsis and where you won't very soon fall out of the target body's SOI. There you have the most time available to use your reaction engines to fix your Periapsis and inclination. Once that's done you can do either of the following to further fix your orbit:

Wait until you're somewhere low down in your orbit then carefully warp around to see how your orbit changes. Do it right and you could potentially knock out most of your eccentricity, and I believe this should make it cheaper to shrink and perfect your orbit.
Burn all you want as you approach Periapsis. You have dV for days.

Heya, I Found something while playing around with the Circularization helper and I'm not sure if this is an intentional feature or not. If you use the Circularization helper with your target set as a craft, Regardless of your distance from the target you'll always instantly warp around 90-100m away from it.

Yup, that is intentional.

Again, you'll need to wait for the update for these changes to take effect.

Perfect.
I just added them in my install, just waiting the updated Blueshift to check them working and then, eventually, make some final addition to other parts (namely, the other two, inline, Warp Cores, that probably need some love too for their warp FX).

1 hour ago, JadeOfMaar said:

All that matters for balancing the sublight engines on the IXS (and I'm being presumptuous) is that the EC demand is reasonably high and the TWR is reasonably low: I'm betting no more than 1 for a fully loaded, fully fueled ship without cargo. (Said cargo might easily weigh as much as 50% of the ship if cargo space is generous.)

I didn't actually messed up so much with the sublight engines just because my focus, for the moment, is tuning the warp ones...
... and also I'm not sure if I want to mess with them too much.

As I had to move/rework some of the original resources, to actually make the addition of the new resources needed by Blueshift (I'm talking here about the main parts needed to build the IXS, not all the other, reworked but stand-alone parts included in the mod), I basically displaced around some of the original resources, but grossly in the end leaving the original quantities.
I have to check, but if I remember correctly both the 2 main engines have actually a TWR <1 for a full IXS, so thrust wise they are not so game-breaking...
... my concerns were about their actuall EC and Xenon Gas usage.
But in that regard I will give me time to figure some comparison to more futuristic but balanced ones (namely, from Angel's "Deep Space" ships or Nertea's "NearFuture Propulsion"), once the warping parts will be working. Maybe.

Or maybe, actually, leaving them are they are: my point was to "adapt" IXS to Blueshift, not taking care of EVERYTHING related to the original mod: I gave some toughts to some of the spare parts just to add a "different flavour" to some needs if using Blueshift (and Flying Saucers), by some of the iXS parts (a couple of different warp cores and graviolium generators, just aesthetically different but basically with the same stats - or weighted against those - of the original from Blueshifts; a couple of new warp coils - more suited for in-line ships, rather than those willing to go with external nacelles; a new Plasma Contactor that is less barebone/more trek-ish than those coming from Flying Saucer; a proper Graviolium scanner; an in-space, different looking, but with the same stat, Graviolium collector; rework of shience parts)

It's already a roughly 75% totally rework of the IXS mod itself. and all just because (reality) I wanted the IXS to work for me and my install. But as it was a BIG effort, then valid to be then publicly released for anyone that enjoy already Blueshift and wanted maybe try also the IXS.
If I step also into a sub-light engines rework, basically it will be a "parallel release" by me of the original mod, just shy to add the models and textures themselves. I'm not sure if I want to embark in such of a job.

Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh!

IXS with FX!!!

Beside the good news about that: how did you feel the parts converted?
Are they, generally speaking, behaving correctly?

can't wait! for the blend between FTL and IXS!

Blueshift 1.5.1 is now available

Changes

- Added genericWarpEngine model to enable non-Blueshift parts to use Blueshift's Waterfall warp effects. There's nothing visual, just a couple of transforms.

- Added templates for the Waterfall warp engine effects and converted the warp tech parts to use them.

i keep getting "missing LqdDeuterium" and im not sure why, the mod was working fine but it doesnt seem to anymore, i cant get any working

Did you install any other mods (like FFT)?

Edited May 25, 2021 by modus
FFT instead of FTT ofcourse

LqdDeuterium is not relevant to Blueshift. We need a screenshot of the part, or more information in order to help you.

The only way that this can happen is if you have Far Future Technologies (FFT) installed. In that case you will need to add liquid deuterium tanks from far future technologies to your craft. I tested Blueshift yesterday without FFT installed and it worked just fine. So be sure to use FFT's deuterium fuel tanks and generators. Otherwise you'll run into this problem.

Again, you'll need to wait for the update for these changes to take effect.

I'm taking some time today to work on the IXS.
I updated Blueshift...
... I added the new config...

... but the IXS warp FXs are not working on my end. Beside I tested the standard Blueshift's S3 Warp Ring/Warp Sustainer, and those are working.

@Angel-125 What am I missing??? :sob:

Above: IXS parts, but with Blueshift rings. FXs are working (so it's not a fault Waterfall install)...

... but then, once switched to the patched IXS rings (with your edited cfg files) they are still with no FXs.

STOP EVERYTHING! @Angel-125

I'm officially an IDIOT!!!

To cut load time (my main install, full of mods, needs around 30 minutes to load), I switched to my "testing install"............

... that was NEVER updated to Blueshift 1.5.1!!!
OBVIOUSLY there are no effects: THERE WAS NO "genericWarpEngine" there!!! :blush2:

Everything is in working order!

Now I just have to work on the WarpCores and, basically, the conversion is done!

EDIT:

Tweaking a bit the FXs to fit the "more massive and powerful" IXS rings.

Slightly more distant "bowshock", to give the idea of a more pronunced space distorsion; warp engine having their trail starting from the trailing edge of the external surface; warp sustainer from the second internal "coil ring".

Glad you got it working.

Just because I wanna have also fun:

Spoiler

Does anyone wanna play "KST" (Kerbal Star Trek) with me??? :joy:

It's done!!!

I'm going to prepare a proper thread for her, but IXS Warpship for Blueshift is, finally, complete!

Meanwhile I'm preparing it, anyone passing by here could already grab a copy:
https://github.com/Araym-KSP/IXS-Warship-for-Blueshift/releases

Happy Warping!

(Pay attention to them, because I still fleshing out some little changes to achieve a stable release: some parts could still behave weirdly)

To not bother further @Angel-125 and his own thread, FINALLY a proper release one for "IXS Warpship for Blueshift".

Obviusly, Angel, if you like, you can add a link to that on the first page of Blueshift, to let know that IXS Warship has now support for it.

And beside being happy for my patches release, I can also pop a champagne bottle because...

<...Drum-roll...>

I learned (at least in my way) how circularize orbits everywhere, using a bit of time-warp, aside the warp engines themselves!!!

I launched myself in orbit of Kerbin by using the "cheat" (just because I was testing how the IXS behave in space, not killing myself on how get it in kerbin orbit), then aimed to Jool....
... 28 kerbal days later, with a bit of back and forward from low Jool orbit and SOI limits (leg-in with the warp engines, to "freeze" the ship relative velocity, leg-out leaving me drifting happily, warp generators and engines shut down save gravioulium, to loose velocity... rinse and repeate...) I got a stable orbit in the joolian system...

Then I aimed to Layte:

Again, bouncing in and out from her SOI and lower orbit, in a total of just 48 days from the Kerbin departure, stable orbit around Her!!

Not a single ounce of "conventional propellent" was used, just warp navigation, a bit of patience (the whole took me about 10 mins of real life, from Kerbin to Jool then Laythe) and gravitational forces!

Way to go! Warp-powered circularization takes awhile to do, but between low powered warps and gravity, it can definitely be done. Nice to see you've figured out how.

I could say that, actually, a bit of my trouble were caused by me not being a native-english person, and then misinterpreting your brief "guide" on how do it:

I kept going around the planets the whole time using warp engines, trying to figure "how gravity could bend the orbit", rather than using a bit of "newtonial knowledge" that any orbital speed at periapsis is WAY higher than those at SOI edge, and I just needed first to tune an acceptble periapsis altitude, go in toward the planet/body with warp engines active (freezing, relativistically, the lower SOI speed), then back to SOI with engines shut down and only with the game's TIME-warp, not actually "engine powered warp", to loose again speed... rinse and repeat... PROFIT... orbit achieved. . :joy:

Basically up to now I was just bouncing with warp engines from low to higher orbit, sometime even GAINING velocity, rather than loosing it. :blush2:

Now it's time to "speed-run" the process: how many days could I shave off, with more accurate burnings???? :cool:

wow! you are so pro using warp drive for deceleration to Araym.....brake the speed without using auto-circumlize the orbit lol...unlike me...i am too lazy to do that...just the mod to do the heavy work for circularize orbits....i have no such patience and time lol. I feel stressful for this but just let the mod does the heavy work for me.
