[WIP](Important news)Spanners Boomsticks, Parts to complement BD Armory

[badboyz31]

Please take a screenshot of the BdTurret module from any of the affected part's configs and post it here I have a hunch

That's a screenshot of "before and after" equipping the SB turrets. Stock BDarmory turret does not act this way anyway. Thanks for looking into this problem.

No I wast clear I meant to take a screenshot of the config file not the actual part

[PrototypeTheta]

That's not a problem caused by the config, that's because aimRotate or aimPitch aren't set up correctly. Sometimes they apply unwanted rotation to your part, it looks fine in Unity, it looks fine in-game, until you disable the turret and whatever rotation is on those two transforms gets applied to the part itself. It is incredibly annoying and usually needs a reconstruction to sort out.

Yep, thanks PrototypeTheta. I think that would explain the problem I'm experiencing. So far I have not meddled with the config files or any other files in the SB folder

The config should contain this line

Deploy_Animation= false

This overrides the return to origin command in the current BDArmory Baha made it so I could set that line up during the 8.2 update. With that line the turret will not return to origin but will also not do the crazy flip thing. I'm checking to see if the Config somehow became overwritten when he installed it on his system.

Okay, here's the cfg files for

Now I'm very confused since the Cfg is intact and has the line for the fix I am very perplexed by this

Don't worry LORDPrometheus, it seems like I am the only one reporting this problem. Maybe there is something wrong with my BDArmory. I'll try to check it first.

[uPDATE]

It's finally fixed. Apparently, my BDArmory was still under version 0.8.0. Today, I went to BDArmory thread and found that the latest version is 0.8.2. After I updated the BDArmory, SpannersBoomsticks turrets seems to have no problem anymore now. Thanks for the support LORDPrometheus, and my apologies for making things worse.

I'm sorry, but as of late I am having the same problem. I have the latest versions of both mods and I have tried re-downloading them too. Any other ideas as to what could cause this?

getting the same bug here. your not alone.... but it may be something else causing the bug to happen...

[Cdodders]

[toric5]

using updated version, weaponized mk1 cockpits node is far behind where it should be.

same bug...

Please try updating your BDArmory version to 0.8.3 (latest as of now). The turret tilting bug disappeared right after updating. Maybe it was a compatibility issue.

If you are not sure, try to use another installation of vanilla KSP (that is, without any mod) and add only BDArmory and SpannerBoomsticks just to make sure if it's working fine, and then add your mod one by one to figure out which could cause the trouble.

EDIT3: sorry for double post. please read post below this one.

updated for BDArmory 8.2 guys enjoy!

albeit there is the white bullet issue again

Guys and Gals of kerbin. please update to this! make sure your extracted folder reads "spanners Boomsticks Updated" and delete the old "spanners boomsticks1" one in your gamedata before you stick the new one in.

if you don't folow that your own your own sorry.

EDIT: it works. thanks alot guys. one thing tho. the turrets don't turn BACK to where the original position was...

[DrDimic]

It's still huge white bullet for me(

Is there a way to get rid of it?

[BossSquirrelz]

Im still having the issue of the turrets flipping out when deselecting this. This happens to all the SB parts.

[zxczxczbfg]

Recommendation for new weapons:

M2 Browning fixed .50

M1919 Browning fixed or flexible .30

Oerlikon FF/Oerlikon FFL/MG FF/Type 99 (these are close to interchangeable for KSP's purposes) fixed non-rotary 20mm

Bofors Gun (the WWII-era one) flexible 40mm

Flak 18/36/37/41 (again, interchangeable for KSP's purposes) flexible 88mm

does this work 1.0.4? or 1.0.x? im somewhat sure it does, but i guess its ok to know if it really is, or if it needs a update anyways.

[AlbertKermin]

does this work 1.0.4? or 1.0.x? im somewhat sure it does, but i guess its ok to know if it really is, or if it needs a update anyways.

In 1.0.x, the weapons seem to work fine. However, arming then disarming the guns seems to make them turn their base ninety degrees relative to how they were previously installed, typically with disastrous consequences.

[EdusacconBR]

can you update it to BD armory 0.92?

[sashan]

In 1.0.x, the weapons seem to work fine. However, arming then disarming the guns seems to make them turn their base ninety degrees relative to how they were previously installed, typically with disastrous consequences.

I've disabled autoreturn parameter using MM, they work fine after that. It isn't important anyways now... Please update.

[LORDPrometheus]

Guys I want to make it clear I am going to be updating this mod but the situation isnt very simple. I have to fully rebuild the mod salvaging only the models and textures and that will take awhile on a college schedule. I will not be able to even start on it until the 22 or later. It will be done but until then the mod is non functional

hi im trying to recreate the halo gauss turret for my halo mod, and i was wondering if you could lend some light on how goy got the mag cannon FX to work?
