[1.0.x] Part Icon Fixer & Tweaks

[xEvilReeperx]

This is a little mod to fix a problem with the way KSP creates certain part icons:

[table=width: 300, class: outer_border, align: center]

[tr]

[td][/td]

[td][/td]

[/tr]

[/table]

It automatically rescales any part with SkinnedMeshRenderers, plus any that define any special tweak options in their part configs or ModuleManager patches.

These are new options you can specify in your part configs:

iconMultiplier = float

You can use this to fine-tune the size of your icon should it appear too small or large.

iconPivot = TransformName

Editor icons normally rotate around their center of mass when moused over. In some cases this can look strange, so you can define a new transform to serve as the center point by naming it here.

iconRotation = x_degrees, y_degrees, z_degrees

This will change the default orientation of the part icon. If you want the player to look at a particular side of the part when it's not spinning in the editor, you might change the y rotation here.

Let me know if you have any questions or encounter problems

Changelog:

Version 1.2

• fixed an issue that could prevent PartIconFixer from finding the right config for a part
  
  
• if a specific pivot isn't specified, it will be set to zero. This should make them rotate more consistently
  
  
• fixed an issue that could cause old versions to take priority over new versions in certain circumstances
  
  

Version 1.1

• Fixed a bug that caused the loading screen to hang if a part's name is duplicated
  
  
• Improved error handling so other bugs (if any *fingers crossed*) shouldn't cause KSP to stall
  
  

Version 1.0.0

• Initial release

Alright, I've got a little tidbit here that totally stalled KSP load. Far as I can tell, it's related to this mod, but I've included the previous few lines just to be sure.

I have no idea what it means but, considering it showed up right after a warning from your mod, it seems a little suspicious to me.

I had the same issue.

Interesting it's getting stuck on an internal space - I suspect this probably isn't intended.

Thanks for posting, I should get to test properly tomorrow

[xEvilReeperx]

It's not; it runs right after PartLoader and starts generating a list of parts that need fixing. It looks like I might have a bug in the way I detect part names. Which part pack/mods are you guys running?

[xEvilReeperx]

Found and fixed that bug and made a few other adjustments... Let me know if you guys manage to break it again

[jake9039]

how do I install it?just chuk it into the gamedata folder?

[lo-fi]

Yep, just bung the DLL straight into the GameData folder will be fine.

xEvilReeperx, could you bump this to 0.90 in the title, please? Seems to work fine without being recompiled.

[xEvilReeperx]

Yep, done

[smjjames]

I'm just noticing that the filename still says 0.25 on it. Just saying, that's all.

I simply tossed the whole part icon fixer folder that got downloaded, into the gamedata folder..... which doesn't actually do anything, apparently.

EDOOT: Silly me, I put the ZIP folder in there, lol.

[lo-fi]

Hello!

Any chance you can bump this to 1.x please? Also, is it maybe possible to extend the trick to redo the bounding box with the part in game? We're getting issues now with SPH and runway sizes, as well as aero, shielding and heating problems because KSP thinks the tracks are far bigger than they actually are. I'll have a thumb through the code myself, but I'm a little out of my depth here.

Thanks, as ever!

Lo-Fi

[FreeThinker]

This looks very usefull

[ZobrAA]

Why I did not see this thread earlier? Hope this will be updated for 1.0.x

[lo-fi]

Confirmed working perfectly in 1.0.x without recompile

Grab it and enjoy.

[xEvilReeperx]

Also, is it maybe possible to extend the trick to redo the bounding box with the part in game? We're getting issues now with SPH and runway sizes, as well as aero, shielding and heating problems because KSP thinks the tracks are far bigger than they actually are.

Probably not the same trick. On a cursory glance, I'm seeing a very interesting new interface called IPartSizeModifier. That might be an excellent candidate for shameless abuse if it can be made to accept negative values

[V8jester]

Still works in 1.0.4

[lo-fi]

Indeed it does could we get an OP title bump please?

[xEvilReeperx]

Done. Somehow I keep forgetting these things

[lo-fi]

Cheers. Easily done! It's reminded me there are a few other little plugins I need to update myself

[FreeThinker]

Say, I have a problem with the Icon of the Thermal nozzle In KSPI. I tried your mod but I don't see any change. What could be done to fix it?

[xEvilReeperx]

Sorry, for some reason I didn't get a notification. I'll have a look and see what's up

Hey Evil -- potentially dumb question, but how would you want mod authors to handle your plugin's distribution? Is bundling it with the add-on itself (like Module Manager) the way to go, or should they direct users to this thread for the plugin?

Thanks in advance.

[xEvilReeperx]

Anything is fine: bundling, linking thread, or even copying the relevant code into your plugin if you prefer

[albany_]

Cool. Thanks for the quick reply.
