parts [1.10.x] SDHI Service Module System (V4.0.4 / 11 October 2020)

[DoubleOSeven1]

Today after I installed the RealChute mod, I stocked at the loading screen where shows the game is currently loading “SDHI_ParaDock_1_ClampOTron†in the "Part" folder of SDHI. The problem disappeared after I removed the RealChute mod. Is that caused by conflicting between Realchute and SDHI, or it's because SDHI doesn't compatible with 0.24?

The temporary fix to this was just posted a couple of replies back....

To recap what has been talked about repeatedly over the past few pages; SDHI's paradocks are not currently Real Chute compatible due to Real Chute's format having change with its last update. Stupid Chris has said this is something he's going to deal with but in the meantime, don't use those parts.

Or, you can try the temporary hack that I posted in the post right before yours that has a Module Manager patch that will make those parts use the stock chutes. They will work reliably with stock chutes, in as much as stock chutes are reliable in 0.24.

Hi, first, sorry for my weird english, im from Austria and my native language is german, so i have my problems to write or speak in english, but i will try to learn ist better

The necessary Firespitter Addon is quite cool but its very big and contains a lot of parts an after i installed the SDHI and the Firespitter it takes a looong tim to start KSP and it costs performance, its getting very laggy sometimes, i think this is because the many parts from the Firespitter are installed. So what can i delete from the Firespitter Addon and keep only the parts that will necessary to run the cool SDHI Service Modul?

Thx for your help and sorry if this question was already here, i tried to find an answer by my self for hours but i find nothing so i decided to register and ask here

Greetings, Gerry

only the plugin itself. you can delete any or all of its parts

[Gerry]

Thx for answering! You mean i need only the Firespitter.dll in the Plugins-Folder?

[SebFierce]

It's also possible to just download the plugin itself from the Firespitter homepage.

[sumghai]

Hi Gerry - yes, you only need the plugin from Firespitter for the Service Module's animations to work. I believe I made this clear in the first post of this thread.

Any possibility of an update?

Any possibility of an update?

According to sum, it should be sometime this weekend. TACLS support will be late, but the normal update should be out.

That is, if he loves us

[Phazon8058]

Sumghai just said on his Github that documentation, packaging, and release procedures are in full effect. TAC LS support will be coming later in a hotfix due to major changes with the last update, and incompatibility issues with 0.24.1.

I'm not entirely sure why, but I now have a serious craving for bacon...

[SebFierce]

Whohoo! Thanks for the update, great stuff

[GeckoOBac]

I've just installed this mod, however it seems that the Service Module doesn't have any actions associated... Neither in staging nor right click nor in the action groups section... Is it just me?

[SkyHook]

Wow this update is so futuristic! It's available tomorrow even though it's today!

[Bomoo]

Ooh 2.0. Though a bit concerned the service module won't look as good as a structural piece for space stations/larger craft now that it's got that clamp. But then it seems I'm the only one that uses it like that. Any chance of a service module trunk minus the avionics ring? I suspect such a piece would also be useful for pairing with that snazzy ATV core of yours.

Also a bit of KWR+SDHI Ares I action because why not.

It never has, you need to assign them.

[Initar]

Right-click should work with the new update. Thats what I use mostly.

Btw, nice update! Love the inflatable.

[BananaDealer]

I'm not gonna question how this came out on the 27th when it's the 26th. I'm just gonna praise Sumghai...

[Phazon8058]

This flotation collar is flippin' sweet. Thank you Sumghai for the update. This was definitely worth the wait.

[tygoo7]

Awesome update sumghai! I love this mod!

[drtedastro]

I am looking to see how i decouple the service mod from the heatshield. I have looked in the AG menu and with right click. If anyone can give me a hint, or better yet the answer, i would send many virtual beers....

thanks.
