The balloon part only shows up when you use the balloon category. You can see it in the following image, it's the bottom button on the category list:

Uh oh, the inability to find it via search was rather unexpected. Thanks a lot!!!

NVM I'm just dumb

I don't have the balloons category.

I use Community Category Kit and Community Parts Titles Extra: Categories. Perhaps there's some kind of conflict there?

Here's a log.

I only have the kerballoons parachutes for some reason

@linuxgurugamer

Hi, had a quick look at the balloon config.

It has category as none which I assume was so that it would only turn up in a community category, trouble is it has no "tags =" which as far as I know you need for the Community category to have a category. It is also missing the S from size 3 in the " bulkheadProfiles =".

You also seem to be missing an Icons folder with the config file for the set up of the community category.

Hope this helps

ColdJ · September 11, 2022

Having looked at the previous releases I have to assume that @linuxgurugamer has his own way of adding a category. In the mean time @Rutabaga22 if you are in a hurry you can do the following.

Spoiler

In the folder structure C:\KSP1.12.2\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\KerBalloons\Parts\UniversalBalloon\ you will find the config file.

universalPayload.cfg

If you open it with a text editor like notepad and scroll down past the node stack entries you will find.

category = none

Simple replace the none so that it looks like this

category = Utility

That will make it appear in the utility section of parts.

If you want make it searchable you can add this line below

bulkheadProfiles =

Simply click the line below and if you want it to line up hit tab once. Then add

tags = balloons

That way if you type balloons in search it will come up.

Do not hit enter at any time, simple save the changes and close the file.

I have tested this with the needed dependencies and it works properly in game.

This will work until Linuxgurugamer does an official fix to whatever is missing.

This mod puts in it's own category in the left column. It's odd and not like any other mod

Gordon Dry · September 22, 2022

I dared to create a JSON for the "RP-0 Parts Browser".

I need to thoroughly test it.
And I did not replace the resulting ECM-Parts.cfg and TREE-Parts.cfg completely - I just copied the 10 resulting entries into the existing files in my install GameData.

I dared to create a JSON for the "RP-0 Parts Browser".

I need to thoroughly test it.
And I did not replace the resulting ECM-Parts.cfg and TREE-Parts.cfg completely - I just copied the 10 resulting entries into the existing files in my install GameData.

Would you mind attaching the files??? I cannot find the .JSON file to add the text.

It's a brand new file. It sits in

I've changed all of the settings I could find for speed - setting "speedLimiter" to false and increasing max speed to 1000 in both the universalPayload.cfg and in the balloonSpecs.cfg files, and I'm still flying at 5m/s.

Am I missing something? Are speed settings also saved on a per-save basis? 5m/s is way too slow for me, ahah.

What does minAtmoPressure = 14.2 represent?

I tried to find any conversion table or function that tells me what 14.2 X is, when it's 5 kPa.

Does anyone have a fix for the balloons/category not appearing? I have all the parts except for the actual balloons. There is also no custom category.

Edit: Following @ColdJ's directions I got the part to work. This mod is great!

Hello, yes the only way that I found to have access to KerBalloon which is the mod main part is to use the filters:

The balloon part only shows up when you use the balloon category. You can see it in the following image, it's the bottom button on the category list:

You should remove Kerbalx, it's getting lots of NullRefs
