Issac 51 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Introduction KHSK is used for extend kerbal's capabilities. This mod will provide some parts that kerbal can equiped with stock inventory system. Two parts are working in prograss, and almost finished. Maybe i will add more in the future, but i don't have any idea about them now. Overview Parts: 1.Exoskeleton When you put the part "Exoskeleton" in kerbal's inventory. This part will be equiped on kerbal automatically. Exoskeleton will increase kerbal's "ConstructionWeightLimit" 15 times in Construction Mode.It means kerbal engineer can lift 0.9 tons part compare to the default 0.06 tons. (15 times seems too buggy, i'm considering to decrease it) Assist Kerbal who wears exoskeleton will also influence the final results(Just like below, the maxium part weight reaches to 1.87 tons, because one assist kerbal equips exoskeleton) 2.Kerbal Inflatable backpack Just like exoskeleton. Put it in kerbal's inventory it will be equiped automatically. "Expand Inflatable Backpack" will appear in PAW when it is equiped. Press it to expand backpack. After expanding, you could put cargo in it now! Parts in Inflatable Backpack will not functionally, such as Jetpack, parachute, KHSK parts . "Pack Inflatable Backpack" will appear when backpack is expanded. It's used for packing it again( You can't pack the backpack if it's not empty) . "Drop Inflatable Backpack Item" is used for drop all cargo in Inflatable backpack, the droped cargo will be destroyed by this action. Others: 1.If you equiped exoskeleton, the original backpack and the small backpack will disappeared. Their MeshRenderer will be closed to avoid model overlapping. 2.Infatable Backpack will adjust its position according to kerbal's inventory statue. Required Mods: Module Manager: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/50533-18x-110x-module-manager-414-july-7th-2020-locked-inside-edition/ Know Issues: Important: cargo in inflatable backpack will be destroyed after kerbal boarded a ship. Make sure to remove them before boarding. I will try to solve this in the future.

SpaceFace545 691 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Wow, someone is finally working with the stock inventory system and it looks amazing. Would it be possible to have the exoskeleton increase the kerbal's jump height or running speed for "experimental testing," cough cough fun cough cough Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ktosiu 62 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Hold up, how did you do this? Which class handles the look of the cargo part on a Kerbal? Don't all parts other than the jetpack and the parachute end up looking like a science experiment? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Such as KHSK's parts follow kerbal's spine bone. This is not good, because kerbal's other backpacks follows something else(I'm not test yet, if you have any idea please tell me).Exoskeleton's texture need more details. And its bumps are too short.It needs three bump sticks for each arm not two. I wish i could finish this mod.If you have any questions,please tell me. 1 hour ago, ktosiu said: Hold up, how did you do this? Which class handles the look of the cargo part on a Kerbal?

From the sound of it @Issac is doing something similar to KIS, which attaches the mesh to the bones in the kerbal. The backpack and parachute and new experiment/equipment pack are built into the kerbal mesh directly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Using "PartLoader" to get to part's prefeb. And then use "Instantiate()" to create the prefeb as a child of Kerbal. At last using code to find the "MeshRenderer" of kerbal's backpacks and turn them off. The bad side of this method is that PartModule on KHSK's part won't work. So all of the features are controlled by a PartModule attached on the kerbal. 4 hours ago, SpaceFace545 said: Wow, someone is finally working with the stock inventory system and it looks amazing.

But i'm afraid changing the run/walk speed and jump strength will cause some physical problems, it needs a lot of test. So i canceled this feature at last. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raptor22 115 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) I'll have to keep an eye on this mod! I hope to see more content like this to use the new stock inventory system. Is there a way that you could incorporate KIS with this? More specifically, have it so that it also increases the Kerbal's KIS lift weight. I find myself using both the stock building system and KIS (using the latter more frequently for now, as I've had more experience with it).
