[1.1.3] Procedural Parts - Parts the way you want 'em - v1.2.5 July 3

[nablabla]

hi, since the last CKAN update my game does not load. It hangs when loading the "\GameData\ProceduralParts\Parts\ZOtherMods\RFSRB\proceduralSRBRealFuels

I have procedurals parts installed as a requirement for RP-0

When I rename the file RFSRB.cfg it loads but then there are no SRB sin the game and the engines have no staging / everything weierd.

In the git repository, it does not seem that the RFSRB.cfg has changed in any way for 2 month. Any suggestions?

Best regards, keep the good work up!

@nablabla please update RealFuels. You may have to do so manually, I had to repack it and CKAN might have cached the bad original version.

I've got a problem with the textures with Procedural Parts.

By any chance are you using OpenGL rendering?

So I love this mod. one of my must haves. I've built so many things with this and procedural fairings and now got procedural wings. And when 1.1^tm comes out I'm gonna just want to really see this be updated then. but aside my opinions to the future of this mod. In upcoming updates, are there going to be possibly round shapes? I know you can make then with the fillet cylinder shape but it does take some fiddling to make.

[Whovian41110]

Is there a different cone that more resembles the "Kickback" SRB that has a cowling around it?

[Thorbane]

The Procedural tanks still reset any changes you make to their contents using Modular Fuel Tanks.  Modular fuel tanks doesn't support tweakscale, so I'd like to be able to use this mod to make custom tanks instead, but the modular fuel tank setup still gets overwritten every time the part is resized or the craft file is reloaded.

Is it possible that Procedural Parts may cause memory leaks if used en masse? I am in early stages of my career (max procedural tank size is around 1.325*1.5 m) and when I try to load my heavier rocket (which consists of ~20 such tanks) the game gets memory usage spikes up to 200-300 MB per start. Since my installation loads up with around 2.9 GB of memory used when I enter KSC, the whole game then spirals into a rapid crash.

I do admit I run quite a few of mods (including stuff like KCT and Dynamic Texture Loading), so it might have something to do with mods getting incompatible. My prime suspect is the Texture Reloading mod, but I don't know how to check it and since it's better at keeping my installation running than ATM, I'm not willing to give it up.

I'll try using regular tanks next time I run KSP and see if the game still has leak issues. Alternatively, I'll try ATM and/or do the classic mod purging to save up some memory...

[Rodlund]

Very excellent mod!

Is there known compatibility issues between this mod and 64k/SMURFF? Reason to ask is, I noticed if you use a KSP stock tank of the same size, the PP will have less fuel and Delta V. So basically, if I built a Procedural Tank the same size as 2 orange tanks on top of each other, the PP had about 1,700 m/s less Delta V. 

[NathanKell]

SMURFF would need to modify the cfg values to change the mass fractions for proc tanks as well as regular tanks.

[Bit Fiddler]

Just a few quick requests...  I see some of them have been mentioned before so just adding in my vote for them as well.

 

 

crew section ( or maybe I should ask the fuel tank switcher guys to add crew as a fuel type?)

reactor

RGU

KIS Storage

 

 

 

a new shape that matches the Mk 2 parts

and one of my biggest things is that the stock tanks have small details like lips on the top and pipes down the side (orange tank thing).  would it be possible to make a compound shape thing that had this lip, and pipes down the side etc.

I have a problem, when i right click on a procedural tank, the option to change shape does not appear. I can change the texture, length, diameter but not shape. Please help me.

[NathanKell]

Do you have other shapes unlocked? Various shapes are locked until you research various techs in career and science sandbox.

[Markush100]

I have seen the shapes unlock for one time when i was building in the VAB. From then i never saw that option again. 

I also tried to disable the tech tree limitations with a cfg file.

[Yoshidude]

I'm a bit frustrated. I love this mod but whenever I make an even moderately sized craft (<50 parts) and launch it, it causes serious memory leaks using up to 3,500 mb of memory and stalls for more than 2 minutes. I proved this by removing the mod and making a new craft with an equal amount of parts, and it loaded in seconds. Also, whenever I pick up a Procedural Part, I get 2-3 seconds of unexplainable lag. Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: It seems that I am not the only one having this problem, Astraph above had this problem and there is a ticket on github about it:

I made some Stock Alike textures for everyone in Ven's Revamp style.

A Vens-alike! That came out great!

Can we hope to get a 1.1 version soon?

[Enceos]

New set of textures to give your ships badass looks:

Spectacular work on both sets, Enceos! Eagerly looking forward to using these for... just about everything.

I don't think so, his last visit date is 16 dec 2015.

It appears that updating to 1.1 for procedural parts is going to be non-trivial. Looking at the code it makes extensive use of KSPAPIExtensions, which I believe isn't being updated to 1.1, largely because most of the relevant parts have been integrated into 1.1.

However Proceduralparts relies heavily on the part messaging system in KSPAPIE, which I believe is not being added to stock. Meaning that in order to get it working with 1.1, there will need to be a fairly major rewrite, or so it seems to me.

Thats correct. PP depends on KSPAPIExtensions which is not going to be updated to 1.1. However, in the KSPAPIExtensions thread taniwha mentioned a solution he is going to test with Modular Fuel Tanks to replace the message handling functionality.
