[1.0.2][May17] SelectRoot2: Fixing stock awkwardness

[sal_vager]

Anyone tested this plugin on stations with the docking bug yet?

That's a sweet gif on the OP. I love this mod.

I thought this mod only worked in the VAB, not sure how it would help with the docking bug?

The same approach could work. Save the game to a ConfigNode, modify and reload it. If someone provides a save that has the problem, I'll give it a try.

Oh yeah! Thank you sir! This is such a must have mod when using Sub-Assemblies, I found it funny that the Squad system had the same limitation as the sub-assembly mod that was out prior to 0.22. They should allow you to change the root part, if only to allow to include completed stages. It's rare for my probes to have that leave the root part with an attachment left.

Hurray!

Thank you!

[ItchyBrother]

Fantastic idea and job! Thanks so much! This is going to get a lots of use from me.

Got some bugs in the new version.

For some reason, sometimes when I changed the root part it seemed to work fine,

but if then I clicked the new root part to move the whole ship, it all went red and transparent as a detached part.

I even could create a new root part and stack the ship on it, but then it went weird and I had to reload the ship.

Save-loading after the changing solved the problem several times anyway.

Later it worked fine, so I'm not sure what caused that problem.

Will report if it repeats.

I get this every time. I cannot use the mod anymore. Each time I shift-click, the entire ship goes red like it is a part I have taken off a ship and I can assign a new root from the parts list.

thank you

very useful

[SaturnV]

Change root design is pain, this should become vanilla

[albanderuaz]

That's what happens when you use the older version in 0.22. Are you sure that you have the new one?

There is only one way to be sure...

EDIT: I deleted the selectroot folder from gamedata and replaced it with the one from this thread and now I can get it to work totally as advertised.

Thank you again for this awesome mod. So simple and SO useful!

Two worlds: -Must -have

Ahh, wow, this is... so nice! I was getting very frustrated trying to make a subassembly out of my rover... this fixed it like cake.

This mod disconnected all struts and fuel lines on my lifter. Looking back through the thread I see one other person report this and nobody else mentioning it at all. As important as struts and fuel lines are, I assume this doesn't happen to everybody?

It happens to me also. As it had already been mentioned I found a workflow that reduces impact until a bugfix appeared..

Just de- and reattach a subtree that contains all affected struts and fuel lines. Upon Reattachment all fuel lines and struts will be refreshed and reconnect.

Wow... how did I miss this mod? Great work!

Let the madness begin!

[AppleDavidJeans]

This one downloads in .7z format? Can't you use the more mainstream formats like .zip or .rar?

[Oznerol256]

Just install or download 7-zip and extract it. It is open source. Nothing to worry about. Far better than any closed source stuff like WinRAR or WinZip that keeps spamming you with ads.

I prefer .zip since the ability to work with those files is built directly into both Windows and Mac. WinZip is just annoying with its popup "Buy Me!" window.

[Lostami]

So does this function properly with 0.23?
