tetryds Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Nice, it did not take me long to get back to control theory. I felt that an automated threat response would be more suitable, shooting flares when incoming fire is detected. However, tracking fast moving debris that is closing in is doable, separating it from the debris you are simply flying over requires a bit of extra sophistication.Wait, is that a suggestion or you are going to use kOS or something to do it?

Camacha Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Wait, is that a suggestion or you are going to use kOS or something to do it?Yes, kOS all the way. I would not like this as a fixed part of the mod, that eliminates much of the challenge of either doing it by hand in time or developing a system to help you. Control logic really is what makes KSP interesting (for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetryds Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Anyway, it is too difficult to control theActivate it and it auto locks.1 button to switch weapons, you can switch backwards if you want.Another to fire.How could it be easier?Shoot on it's own? There is that already too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackDragon Korean Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 hello. (I don't know much about English grammar,I used google translation program. So Please understand, even if an error in grammar)I have some idea.I recommend about Missile interceptor system. more than Countermeasure Flares, Automatically aim the missiles which coming to my ship and click(gun or missile whatever) to fire it. I recommend it too. It's a guided bomb called 'Jdam'.how about these idea? will you add these things??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current weapons manager is too cluttered to find what I want.[MOD - Translated from Chinese - sumghai]It's not a bad idea but I had it all in one part because, from a programming perspective, it was simpler. The guard mode uses almost all of what the weapon manager has. If it's the common opinion that they should be separated, I'll do it in the future.It still has all the functionality of the 0.5.1 weapon manager, though. Once you set your action groups, it is just as simple. Edited September 12, 2014 by BahamutoD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetryds Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 @celia423: The guns will show on the weapons manager, but you can still enable them manually by rightclicking or setting the action group to do so.Same for every other gun, you can fire anything using action groups.The weapons manager was made so you can cycle through everything without having to take your hand out of the joystick.

NateToaster Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Do you plan on making small arms for this? Such as 7.62mm turrets?Also WWII-era weapons? I like recreating WWII-era aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanity Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Is it possible to add the guard mode function to an action group?because that is something i would really find useful, if i could trigger guard mode with AG's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celia423 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 IMHO, it's not convenient weapon management. Largely harder to find him what I wanted and I think the management aims weapons easier to find what I wanted to make operation easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORDPrometheus Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Sorry, but I think you should tell us what are the problems and how you think it would be better.I'm not sure what his issues with it are, being as I'm not him. However I agree that it needs an upgrade. Clicking next weapon to scroll through a list isn't very helpful In my opinion. I'm not sure what the coding required would be but if there was toolbar integration with a GUI listing each weapon and its status that could be dragged anywhere on the screen like the menus in mods like Mech Jeb or FAR that would be Ideal IMO. That way it'd be easier to select exactly which weapon you want and better to find in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORDPrometheus Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Also I've noticed many scattered posts of people who have created extra content for this mod what about giving them a section on the main thread to link to their parts. That is of course if they want to post them that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacha Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 The only thing that I found a bit confusing sometimes it that the top me menu button changes function. When you turn on guard mode, the top button suddenly becomes the second. The rest is just getting used to, I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volt Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I've noticed something in my build which may or may not be a BDArmory bug - if I go to the map screen while having an aiming reticule active, e.g. Mk82 Bomb in my case, the reticule is gone when I return from the map with no way to get it back.

xxninjabudderxx Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATWhen i activate a turret, the aimer is incredibly low res, and its really hard to aim with, anyone know why?anyway GREAT mod, but can you add the ability to have gaurd mode on the ship you are flying so with b9 5.2.1 your could make a massive fleet that has auto turrets on every ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Eagle 1 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 What would be the best field of view number you would recommend for a makeshift SAM launcher?Also does the weapons manager have to be facing the direction the missiles are facing when in guard mode?

Camacha Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Also does the weapons manager have to be facing the direction the missiles are facing when in guard mode?I am fairly certain they don't, as long as your FoV is set properly. I made launcher trucks with Infernal Robotics moveable platforms and those fire away whatever the direction. Sometimes a bit too happily, as one rocket can send them all in a frenzy, but that should be fixable with a little tweaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
