LLL - Lack Luster Labs - Development Thread

The part you attach the door or airlock to has to be crewable and the door/airlock has to be activated with right click menu.

I attached it right onto the command module and enabled it, but it still said the same thing.

Also aren't the generators a bit overpowered? Generating power without any fuel of any type.

It does the same thing that a bunch of RTGs would do, doesn't it? It certainly weighs enough.

Just confirmed my earlier suspicion about the 2x1 Engine Fairing. It actually is breaking fuel crossfeed going both ways. Built the pod back to front and as I surmised, it broke the fuel feed on both pod engines.

[SergeantBlueforce]

I'm hearing a lot about this mod being buggy, might uninstall it at this rate.

[Vrana]

Never had any problems with the base install. Also notice that you are in the "Add-on Development" section of the forums.

[Tommygun]

I need a support group of some kind.

I can't stop making these things.

I was playing around with that one the other day and didn't change it back. Just change 'fuelCrossFeed = False' to 'fuelCrossFeed = True' in the cfg.

@SgtBlufor,

It would help if you posted an image of the craft in question, and have you read Kreuzung's documentation for it, Vanguard is his mod after all, I merely added a few cfg variables to my parts to make use of a few parts of it. Anyway, for command modules you have to use its actual hatch, rather than one of the radially attached ones.

As for the generators, they weigh slightly more per unit energy than RTGs (cost of convenience) and when I made them I wasn't sure if you could have the generator module require fuel (rather than keeping running even once the fuel is used). Turns out you can, there's a test version of a generator with this set up (called 'FUEL Generator') to see how people liked the idea. The generators for the buggies also have that set up.

Okay. Found it. Testing now.

[Logan.Darklighter]

Right - that fixed it. Thanks!

A few screenshots of a craft I threw together to demonstrate my problem:

That is a stock crew can. It will not work with the LLL airlock without a config edit to add support for the Vanguard plugin.

The below code will need to be added to the crew capable parts .cfg that you would like to use the LLL airlock / door parts with:

MODULE
{
	name = ModuleKrCrewCompartment
}

Where do I find that file?

EDIT:

It also doesn't work with LLL parts either...

By the way Lack, would it be possible to add compatibility for RemoteTech 2? ; As your mod contains a lot of antennas that would go with it nicely.

Hmm, odd. Do you have a screenshot of it with some LLL parts. Might be easier if you just uninstalled Vanguard and stuck to shifting crew around with CrewManifest (If you do it that way, you will need to uninstall Vanguard, as it nullifies the crew capacity of the hatch).

As for RT2, providing you've got the LLL-10.7 install, there's a copy of the RT2 config in the 'LLL-extra' folder already. Module manager seems to have difficulty reading it straight from there, so just drop it into the RT2 folder and it should work.

Oh, Lack, the greenhouse and 2x1 crew bay both cause a camera dislocation glitch.

[EpicCows101]

Please add downloads for the ships! Especially the base.

For some reason my tracks don't work. How did you get yours working?

[Lack]

Not quite sure what you mean there. There shouldn't be any problems with it, it's just a part (although the greenhouse does have some of the solar panel workings, although I couldn't get it to work).

@ickli, I haven't had any problems with the tracks in .22, you've got both RBI and TracksDll folders, right?

I have both files. the tracks just don't move at all. Have no idea why

[Tommygun]

I don't know if this is a known issue or not, but if you load Kerbals into any of the new rovers in the SPH, you get a message that the doors are block when you try to get them out.

Just wanted to let you know.

[Mekan1k]

When the rocket launches, or the plane is flying, when the craft reaches 200 m/s or passes the 2km marker from the spaceport, the camera will start veering off course.

Every plane I built with these parts spiraled out of control, and every rocket had the camera lag behind so much that the vehicle went out-of-focus.

I think is is because I PUT THINGS into the modules, such as chairs, and I am about to test it.

EDIT: Yup. Anything placed into the modules creates this camera-lag and, and subsequent loss of control.

The reason I'm eager to use the Vanguard plugin is because I'll then to make use of your 3d corridors to move Kerbals around my space station or base.

[SergeantBlueforce]

uhhh isn't that Bobcat's Demv

Not really, and DEMV is basically abandoned anyway.

Hey Lack, I found time to try out your really fancy The-Last-Days-On-Mars-alike cockpits between exams, and I'm having a couple problems with them. Whenever I deploy to the pad they're totally uncontrollable (yes, I stuck a probe core on them), glide mysteriously over the runway without the (stock) wheels spinning, the 'revert flight' bar becomes faded out so I can't revert and parts of the UI disappear. Upon checking the debug log, I see an infinite chain of NullReferenceException. And yep, I'm using the most up-to-date version of Vanguard. Any ideas?

Just same as with the stock parts
