sumghai 1,797 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 I don't recommend modifying the CMA decoupler to be stageable, as it is a deliberate safety feature, and the CMA is supposed to be decoupled via action group instead. However, if you insist, then please do it via your own MM patch - otherwise, I cannot provide support to those who directly modify SDHI SMS itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But if you insist on putting the decoupler into staging, here's the MM script to do so.

rottielover 60 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Has anyone else had issues with the docking port not wanting to dock to the stock port? I'm not really sure what's going on other than I'm perfectly aligned and was doing 0.2 m/s and they just bounced off each other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Ven’s Restock?) or maybe your stock port got patched to behave differently Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rottielover 60 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 doesn't look like I have Ven's restock, but I am using CKAN and have noted that it's caused me a few conflicts in the past, so I wouldn't rule it out that something else mucked with the stock ports. I'm just not sure how to tell. I'll try some experiments and see , maybe it has to do with tweakable everything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rottielover 60 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) I've tried again a couple of times, how do I look into the configs to see if they are the same? EDIT: let me be more detailed.... I tried a test where I created a new TEST game in sandbox and I hacked grav with two pods Now the docking ports are working fine. I have no idea what's going on. Went back to my 'real" game, and they won't dock. I tried with several combos in the test, stock port to stock port, SDHI port to stock etc. all worked in sandbox. In my career save SDHI won't dock to stock. Is there some kind of bug or issue with the way you use docking ports in builds? Like am I not supposed to use them as decouplers if I want to use them as docking ports later? Edited February 24, 2019 by rottielover Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Make sense! I'll figure out how to do that and line that up for the next update. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rottielover 60 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So just to wrap up my little issue, I added "undock-inator" and it did not recognise the ports as docking ports, that raised my suspicions a bit. I tried re-loading quicksaves, no effect, I tried launch the craft new, no effect. What worked was to remove the docking ports from the craft in the VAB "delete them", add "new" docking ports onto the craft, save it and launch it new. That seems to have worked. I still have no clue why this happened or what could have caused it, but at least I got it working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharpspoonful 105 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 @sumghai Just as a heads up, Nertea's ReStock resizes the top of the Mk 1-3 Command Pod to be 1.25m, and breaks the clean lines of the docking port, and the SMA umbilical port. Now there's a way to patch ReStock with a MM script to whitelist the parts, I just haven't had the time to figure out how to write one. Not asking you to, just bringing it to your attention.

sumghai 1,797 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 @sharpspoonful @Vince_K I appreciate you guys bringing this issue to my attention. However, I specifically designed this mod for use with the stock Mk1-3 Pod, and I'm not a fan of the philosophy behind ReStock. Therefore, I have no plans to make SDHI SMS support that mod. @Cloakedwand72 As per the FAQ, I have no plans to support other pod sizes.

sumghai 1,797 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 @StevieC - I looked into your request to remove the Rover, Landing and Spaceplane Autopilot/Guidance MechJeb features in the Crew Module Adapter (CMA), but unfortunately I'm not able to implement it. Spoiler Technically speaking, MechJeb does allow you to blacklist selected features, and in theory I was able to disable all three modules. However, MechJeb (by default) ships with its own MM patch that adds all MechJeb features to all Command Pods in-game (GameData\MechJeb2\Parts\MechJebNoCommandPod.cfg), which always enables Rover, Landing and Spaceplane Autopilot/Guidance. Since SDHI SMS is designed specifically to be used with the stock Mk1-3 Command Pod, you end up with a standard SDHI CSM vessel where the Pod has Rover, Landing and Spaceplane Autopilot/Guidance enabled, while the SDHI SMS CMA has the same three features disabled. The net result is that the entire vessel will always have the unwanted MechJeb features no matter what you do. I could, of course, theoretically write a patch that overrides the MechJeb default and forcibly remove the unwanted autopilots from the Mk1-3 Pod. However, this may cause problems for people who also want to simultaneously use just the Pod in other crafts as rover or lander cabins. In conclusion, the simplest way to handle all possible use and edge cases is to do nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StevieC 187 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) That is 100% fair. I'm not exactly happy about it but I can't fault you for that decision. In your shoes I'd have made the exact same choice. Edited April 11, 2019 by StevieC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barzon 828 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Would you at least be able to make a version of the port that simple can switch to a 1.25m base mount? It could be in the same art style as the current parts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kilo60 19 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Real chutes is totally broken in KSP 1.7! None of the radial chutes work or appear in the VAB and any craft built with them won’t load if you delete the mod. Just a heads up as I saw it listed as a dependency for this mod!

sumghai 1,797 Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 @Kilo60 - that is an issue with RealChutes itself, and not specific to SDHI SMS. Please report your issue to the official RealChutes thread instead of here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
