[0.25] Rebar - Modify building destruction settings!

[medsouz]

This is a quick plugin that I wrote to help me figure out how KSP handles building destruction internally so that I could add destruction support to Kerbal Konstructs.

The plugin allows you to globally modify the follow settings:

• Damage decay rate - How fast the building recovers from a non-fatal collision.
  
• Impact momentum - How much momentum (velocity * mass) is required for a collision (or group of collisions) to take down the building
  
• Repair cost - How much it costs to repair
  
• Collapse duration - How many seconds it takes for the building to collapse
  
• Collapse offset - How much the building can slide to the side while falling
  
• Collapse tilt - How much the building can rotate while falling
  

To change the settings edit this file:

GameData/Rebar/PluginData/KerbalRebar/KerbalRebar.cfg

Right now the config is relatively simple and the settings effect every destructible building in the game (if people are interested I could probably change this to let you modify individual buildings.) and only lets you set a multiplier (or addend for tilt and offset).

Increased collapse tilt and duration

You can download the plugin from Kerbal Stuff

Nice! Really good idea for a mod, and it looks really cool as well.

Looks awesome!

One little request: can you save the settings inside a root node, and in a cfg that's not in PluginData--and thus *is* accessible to Module Manager patches?

...Right now the config is relatively simple and the settings effect every destructible building in the game (if people are interested I could probably change this to let you modify individual buildings.)...

Selectively strengthen, or make indestructible, the launchpad and runway so they don't explode as soon as you launch/land heavy craft on them?

[Superfluous J]

Very sweet mod. I too would like the destructibility of the launchpad and runway to be set higher (lower? Whatever, you know what I mean), or even turned off entirely while keeping the rest of the buildings intact.

so this still going? did you manage to get destruction to KK?
