hey, @EStreetRockets,

This pack looks awesome, but I don't see a complete list of all of these engines anywhere, do you think you could add that to the OP?

Check the wiki

[Capt. Hunt]

also, Module manager is showing errors in the script for the scaled down SSME.

Make sure you have the latest MM file (4.2.2) and probably should make sure you have the latest download.

[Capt. Hunt]

I updated MM to 4.2.2 and made sure I had v1.1.1 of the RMM, but it's still says there are 4 errors in vector_scale_SSME.cfg

Go into the config and look for the variant names. Replace any spaces (or underscores) with question marks (?). I'd paste the code, but I'm at work in a hurricane.

[Viper2]

the latest github version should fix the vector_scale_SSME.cfg

go to code, download zip

That did the trick

[Pappystein]

Would there be any interest in a "real names" patch?

I don't know about the rest of you but I have a hard time finding "the right engine" with all the made up names... I can't separate RL from In game experiences I guess

[Javascap]

I really do like the visual quality of this modpack, but the engines are too expensive to use in a career playthrough.  For example, the Corgi is a NFLV rocket meant as a 2.75 meter upper stage engine with 750 kN thrust in a vacuum.  It costs 4,250 funds.  The RM-13se, with the in-game description of being low cost and cheap enough to be disposable, costs 15,000 funds.  The RM-25-150 is even more outrageous at 30,000 funds. Heck, the actual Vector engine itself in the stock game costs 18,000 funds and is about half to three quarters the price of most of the parts added by this mod. For crabs sake, I built a rocket using two RM-25 Kilimanjaro rockets serving as the first stage. Just the two rockets are almost as expensive by themselves as the rest of the craft. Each one costs 26,000 funds and are only marginally better than the Erebus from Cryogenic Engines which uses the same fuel and costs 7,500 funds. I'd really suggest tweaking the costs a bit to make the rockets more appealing for a career playthrough. I think the Ranier is closest to fine, bit pricy, but fine. But everything else, good grief.

Next minor update planned is a rescale of the SSME-derived engines. They are about 10% too big. Thanks to @benjee10 for figuring this out. This rescale will let them fit onto SOCK parts, so the Vector-scale SSME will be deprecated.

[EStreetRockets]

Rocket Motor Menagerie v1.1.2 is released!

SSME parts has been rescaled to 90% of their former scale to be closer to be more realistic and to improve compliance with other mods. All mounting configurations are still at their stock diameters. The Vector-scale SSME Extra has been deprecated.

Congrats on the new release! I can't wait to download it!

I created RMM TweakScale configs if anybody wants 'em

 

 

 

Not all 10 RMM engines are pictured in the screenshots, but they are all in the tweakscale config.

Trying it now, and the Cotopaxi isn't the right scale for SOCK / has no configs to rescale for SOCK. Why was this deprecated if it was useful? Is there another mod that I can get a well fleshed-out SSME with waterfall configs and all that jazz?

[Doc Shaftoe]

I think the default Cotopaxi has been resized slightly because it doesn't look as out of place on the SOCK aft fuselage anymore. The engines still need to be manually offset because the attachment nodes aren't quite right, but the default engines look good.

It's still really out of place though, the engines fit on the fuselage, but just barely without clipping eachother. I'll use the older version for now

Hey just mentioning, in case you're seeing what I did at first, too -- which is that nothing updates on existing parts - you need a completely new engine mount part dragged from the part tray. Ignore me if you've tried this   

[Doc Shaftoe]

To be fair, the engines on the actual shuttle sit pretty close together too. Spoiler'd image because it might be a little big.

Spoiler

So what I do is I offset each of the lower engines  towards the outside of the hull once using shift-click to get finer adjustments. Then I do the same thing to move the top engine up vertically by one, then move it forward by the same increment. It looks just like the included picture and flies great! As a word of warning, I use Editor Extensions Redux, but the engine offsets should still be achievable with the stock offset tool.

I'm in sync with github, I do not have FAR, and I do not have these exceptions.  Also, in my experience the entire log is the relevant part. A snippet doesn't contain your mod list, for example.

I'm also receiving this error with RMM and no FAR installed.  Latest version from Github.

[Astra Infinitum]

For anyone who is interested, heres a TweakScale patch for RMM

 

It gives all RMM engines TweakScale ability. You can now change sizes of any RMM engine. Needs RMM + TweakScale installed.
