Ohm Machre Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I agree. It's not worth it at this point if the release is stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been buidling PCs since I was 12yrs old and I can't get it to install properly and do anything but present a black screen. I've tried Linux in the past (redhat etc), but gave up after a few hours then too. I think the Linux releases should become more install-friendly if they hope to conquer any kind of audience. Right now it's reserved to applications for people that work in the business or who's hobby it is to get it to work. Kind of defeats the purpose to have a quick install for a game. It's simpler just to live with the occasional crash (I have about 1 crash per 6 hours of playtime running 15+ mods). Mind you I don't have a 15 year old laptop runing windows 95 and a GeForce 2 card in it, like a lot of people seem to still have and trying to run modern games on it (see that in many games where people are running ancient laptops and complaining about lag etc). [back on topic again] OPT Spaceplanes are cool! That mus have been a very long time ago since just about any Linux major Linux distro installs like a charm. Ubuntu even makes it easier by making the closed source NVidia drivers available through their packaging system. Since i only use my pc for gaming i recently reinstalled it with SteamOS. Its a respun Ubuntu Precise Pangolin, just boot a cd, select language and keyboard and the off it goes. If your pc more recent or less resembles the Steam Machine specs there is no PITA to be had. Given the speed and stability of Linux, it would make sense even after 1.1 (squad,... If you bork KSP 1.1 on Linux i'm personally comming to strangle you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pellinor Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Now for something on topic: I've updated the TweakScale dev version for the OPT v1.8 test release. I haven't deleted anything so it should still work for the parts which vanished since v1.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael the Sorrowful Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 First of all, love the mod. The parts are very aesthetically pleasing to me and I love trying to build spaceplanes with them. Anyway, I'm having a bit of an issue. I have a spaceplane built entirely of OPT parts, but for some reason my engines aren't getting the fuel from the entire ship. The current craft I have has about 9000~ total fuel (working on trimming it down as it's a bit too bulky, looks pretty though) but the engines only get about a quarter of that when I stage them up. I don't seem to have any parts that won't allow fuel through that I know of, so I can't quite figure out what's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're putting fuel in the wings or on parts attached to the wings, they do not cross-fuel. You need to add fuel lines leading into the wings, then off of them. Also, if you're using the Dark Drive, it requires Oxi and LF. Edited March 12, 2016 by Ohm Machre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you're running out of LF, it sounds like. You need about 1/6 (maybe 1/5) dedicated LF for the J-92 Shcramjets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I run the ship until it fuels out of LF, I still have another 7000 in the ship that I can't access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mind taking a screenie for me real quick and uploading it somewhere? Preferably in the SPH? If not, I can try to figure this out later. It's been a long night for me, and I need some rest, eheh.

TheEnforcer81 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Just a shot, but mind you that - unless you carry extra LF for the engines which don't require LFO - these engines draw their LF from the LFO tanks, leaving you with a surplus amount of Oxidizer, which is totally useless since it's not gonna oxydize anything at all - but might be displayed as available fuel / deltaV. I've been running OPT 1.8 on KSP 1.05 and never (a. f. a. i. k) experienced any crossfeed issues to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I run out of LF and have that little bit of left over Ox. that is left over; I still have another 6000~ LF and Ox. that aren't being accessed by the engines at all.

I added fuel lines from the tanks to the cargo bays, from the cargo bats to the next tank, and so on. Now, I have access to all my fuel. However, as I stated before, the cargo bays' config files say that fuel cross-feed is enable, which clearly it isn't. Not sure what's wrong, but yeah.

With partClipping/non strict attachment checks from the debug menu you can use the (outward-facing) end nodes of the bays to put stuff on the inside, effectively using the node twice. This can confuse the fuel flow logic, which tends to ignore one of the connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnforcer81 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 What works fine for me is keeping ALT pressed while attaching parts to nodes - this makes them stick only to nodes (facing the appropriate direction as somewhat pre-selected by the part's rotation) and nothing else. Might be worth a try - if I'm not currently telling you old boring stuff you already knew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
