Ok, so I have been putting up with a slew of mods that have NOT BEEN UPDATED for a year or more... Custom Asteroids EVE - Would like a redux of Better Atmospheres EngineIgnitor More mods that I will add later. These are just the beginning of what will probably be a long list. Anybody want to help? I honestly have no clue where to begin. And yes, I overuse emoji.

When does 1.0.5 release to the public? HYPE!!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to make more realistic models for the stock resource scanners. I am envisioning a SMAP-like radar antenna for the big scanner, and a Landsat-esque camera for the small scanner. I'm looking for people who are far less N00by than I am with modeling and animating to help me. Any takers? Danny2462? Xacktar?

Can I add planets with HyperEdit? I want to add the gas giants

Hi, I'm a total N00b with ModuleManager, and I'm trying to edit some of the default bodies using Kopernicus to recreate the real Moon, Phobos, Deimos, europa, and charon in Kopernicus. Here's my code: @Kopernicus:AFTER[Kopernicus] { @Body[Moho] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 1 } @Body[Eve] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 2 } @Body[Kerbin] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 3 } @Body[Mun] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 4 @Orbit { @semiMajorAxis = 38440000 @inclination = 5.16 @eccentricity = 0.0554 } } @Body[Duna] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 5 } @Body[Ike] //Phobos { @flightGlobalsIndex = 6 @Properties { } @Orbit { } } @Body[Minmus] //Deimos { @flightGlobalsIndex = 7 @Properties { } @Orbit { } } @Body[Dres] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 8 } @Body[Jool] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 9 } @Body[Laythe] { } @Body[Eeloo] //Europa { @flightGlobalsindex = 10 @Orbit { @referenceBody = Jool } } @Body[Tylo] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 11 } @Body[Bop] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 12 } @Body[Pol] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 13 } @Body[Vall] //Pluto { @flightGlobalsIndex = 14 @Orbit { @referenceBody = Sun } } Body { name = Karus flightGlobalsIndex = 15 Orbit { referenceBody = Sun inclination = eccentricity = semiMajorAxis = longitudeOfAscendingNode = argumentOfPeriapsis = meanAnomalyAtEpoch = epoch = color = } Properties { description = radius = geeASL = ScienceValues { flyingLowDataValue = 14 flyingHighDataValue = 13 inSpaceLowDataValue = 12 inSpaceHighDataValue = 11 recoveryValue = 11 flyingAltitudeThreshold = 130000 spaceAltitudeThreshold = 5000000 } } } }

@Kopernicus:AFTER[Kopernicus] { @Body[Moho] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 1 } @Body[Eve] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 2 } @Body[Kerbin] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 3 } @Body[Mun] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 4 @Orbit { @semiMajorAxis = 38440000 @inclination = 5.16 @eccentricity = 0.0554 } } @Body[Duna] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 5 } @Body[Ike] //Phobos { @flightGlobalsIndex = 6 @Properties { } @Orbit { } } @Body[Minmus] //Deimos { @flightGlobalsIndex = 7 @Properties { } @Orbit { } } @Body[Dres] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 8 } @Body[Jool] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 9 } @Body[Laythe] { } @Body[Eeloo] //Europa { @flightGlobalsindex = 10 @Orbit { @referenceBody = Jool } } @Body[Tylo] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 11 } @Body[Bop] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 12 } @Body[Pol] { @flightGlobalsIndex = 13 } @Body[Vall] //Pluto { @flightGlobalsIndex = 14 @Orbit { @referenceBody = Sun } } Body { name = Karus flightGlobalsIndex = 15 Orbit { referenceBody = Eeloo inclination = eccentricity = semiMajorAxis = longitudeOfAscendingNode = argumentOfPeriapsis = meanAnomalyAtEpoch = epoch = color = } Properties { description = radius = geeASL = ScienceValues { flyingLowDataValue = 14 flyingHighDataValue = 13 inSpaceLowDataValue = 12 inSpaceHighDataValue = 11 recoveryValue = 11 flyingAltitudeThreshold = 130000 spaceAltitudeThreshold = 5000000 } } } }

I'm trying to write a patch that changes Minmus to be kind of a standin for Charon, and moves the Mun to an inclined, slightly eccentric, more distant orbit around Kerbin. My game doesn't want to load my patches though. I also want to shrink and copy Ike to imitate Phobos and Deimos. Could someone help me with those configs?

I'm not exactly new here; I spent about a year with the demo just because I wanted to keep myself busy. I am a total noob, though, and can't get anything into orbit without MechJeb lol. Any advice?

I would like to make a "lite" version of this where if you go out of range, say you cross the horizon with respect to ground control, you can still control your vessel, but you cannot transmit Science or, say, activate SAS because (I guess) Mission Control would have to send the "point here" command. May I do that, and how would I go about that? I am familiar with C#.

This thread's getting pretty full. Skype chat works fine. My handle is mafman97

Nope, I was dead serious. - - - Updated - - - Ok, where do we start? I shared a "project brief" with you on Drive.

Hmmm...maybe! My original idea was basically a real-scale ripoff of KSP because I didn't have it at the time and couldn't afford it. But yeah, that would be a cool idea! I can rewrite the project draft and share it with you on Google Drive. Wanna use Unity, or a different platform? I took a course on XNA but I don't remember much. I'm more familiar with Unity - but x64 is SO BUGGY...

I've realized that this was a dumb idea way too out of scope for my capabilities. Can this thread be deleted or archived?

THAT would be a goal worthy of at least one cookie! - - - Updated - - - Thanks. I think I'll do that with a mapping satellite constellation on each location listed in succession, then I'll set up mining bases as transfer windows appear.

I decided I want to jump on the modding bandwagon with a really simple parts pack. I was inspired by the BoxSat mod to create a fully modular minitureized satellite bus system that fits into a cube 1 meter on each side. I'm really a n00b with modeling/texturing/config'ing, so I'm looking for whoever wants to work with me. I want to base the models off the IRL cubesat initiative - http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cubesats/overview - - - Updated - - - Update: for the standard 1U CubeSat bus, I want to include solar cells integrated into the structure. I know how to do this in the config (at least I understand the documentation) but I don't understand the Unity aspect of it, i.e. how the RaycastTransform works. Will I need several RaycastTransforms for several separate cells mounted on the edges of the cube? - - - Updated - - - Update 2.0: I also want to have four attach nodes. Two are on the exterior faces of the top and bottom, and two are on the interior top and bottom of the cube. The exterior nodes are to connect multiple Cubesat buses together, and the interior ones are to install scientific hardware and what not on the inside.

Hey guys, I've been playing ksp for a little while, mostly modded, & I decided to kick myself into uninstalling mechjeb and flying things myself. Trouble is, I've run out of things to do in the game. Any ideas? I'm running a sandbox game by the way.

Got it to finally import! It won't attach to anything though, and it's sideways...

YES!!! This is one of the biggest things missing from the game IMO!

So Unity 5 has multi-core support? Squee!

I would like to see burned-up parts darken, char, and shrivel like they do IRL. Metal would vaporize under that kind of heat - like it totally doesn't ingame. Fuel tanks should still explode though; you ARE still heating a combustible mixture far above its flash point.

I've found that no matter how fast I reenter, my craft never experiences issues with heat - a little unrealistic, if you ask me. I wish the difficulty slider went to something like 1000% for heat. Heatshields are way too OP - coming back from the Mun at 3 km/s only burns like 5 ablator units. Also, reentry should cause the texture on the heatshield to darken as if it's burning - hint hint devs?

I use Blender because it's free and I'm used to it. - - - Updated - - - For the multispectral camera, I am envisioning a glass-like enclosure with electronics visible inside. The glass would be kind of beer-bottle-brown (supposedly to prevent damage to the "cameras").

A lot of those links are for the Alpha phase of the game, so they are no longer relevant.

I want to turn the SCANSat parts into something that fits inside a CubeSat frame. The frame is a cube 50 cm on each side. How would I go about making the animated antennae? I want to model them after real-life instruments such as http://www.oneonta.edu/faculty/baumanpr/geosat2/RS%20Landsat/FIGURE%207.JPG for the multispectral camera http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sK6s4AGy1ZY/UdDL8JTYBWI/AAAAAAAAFkI/ZapKr8wHEAg/s975/radar+altitude+antennas.jpg for the RADAR altimeter, and http://eospso.gsfc.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/sat/NISAR.png for the SAR antenna All parts should be foldable into a 10 cm by 50 cm by 50 cm rectangular prism, and should include corresponding animations.

Can I extend this to work with the (broken) DTS-M1 blinking-lights animation? If so, can you give me some tips on how to do so? - - - Updated - - - Just wanted to let you know that I got a heck of a kick out of the quote at the bottom of your post - "In the beginning, Earth was without Form(), and void.". I'm learning C#, so that was FUNNY right there
