[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

[So how did KSP go from .25 to .90, and then straight to 1.0?]

you can charge more money for a "full" game than an "early access beta"

[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

So i got it working, kinda sorta. Despite a high tendency to spontaneously explode midflight, i think its time to begin working on a passenger version of this craft.

Infernal robotics, tweak scale and mech jeb were used....

same thing as a helicopter, except theres only giant blade, and tip jets on the other side to push it. a servo controls the angle of attack on the blade allowing for precise altitude control.

moving forward and turning is achieved using reaction wheels to tip the craft in the needed direction.

in its current state it flies pretty well, but i need to learn to fly it - if i push it too hard the whole flies apart under the stress.

ksp needs something like this, that way everyone's happy.

after placing the mirror, right click on the original servo to bring up its tweakables window, then right click on the mirrored servo. the values from the original should populate the mirror.

craft file. you will need infernal robotics, tweakscale, kOS and mechjeb.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/31n4keupexdr22p/WALKER-1.craft?dl=0

-set up the servo speeds as shown

-activate smart a.s.s. to lock craft direction UP

-set attitude adjustment to "use stock sas"

-select "control from here" on the probe core as shown

-make sure gear is deactivated before running the script (look for the indicator top center of screen, it should not be highlighted)

-set throttle to 0

-activate action group 0. this will recenter the leg servos. the craft will not work without this activated. deactivate to allow craft to crouch down for pilot to enter and exit the craft.

-run script

-"g" toggles leg pumping

-throttle controls speed, at 0 the craft walks in place , 1 should be top speed (although in practice this isnt the case as i have yet to tweak the timing properly)

-"j" and "l" are for turning (adjust speed of the "COURSE" group to change turning speed)

-"i" and "k" are for pointing the toes up or down. this is for going up or down hill, as well as fine tuning speed.

-":" and " ' " will shift the weight of the craft backwards and forwards. im not sure why i put this in, but it helps a little to fine tune the balance

-"h" and "n" rotate the turret

here's another little program that i made while putting this together, this gives you some useful info for doing stuff:

SET partslist to ship:PARTSTAGGED("left1").
 /// tag the part you want to test, replace "left1" with the tag. 

for x in partsList {
print x:GETMODULE("mumechtoggle"):allevents.
print x:GETMODULE("mumechtoggle"):allactions.
print x:GETMODULE("mumechtoggle"):allfields.
}.

what an awsome mod!

to do: find a way to get these things to start chasing each other.

Working on autonomous robot AI, here's what i got so far:

[[1.3] kOS Scriptable Autopilot System v1.1.3.0]

i think i found my second favourite ksp mod

forget space ships, just kOS+IR by themselves would make for an awsome game

[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

sentient killer space robots never sleep.... and neither should you!

[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

Learned to kOS. Began work on new walker script:

I have a feeling this is going to turn into something awsome, there are so many things you can do with kOS and IR (that you cant with autohotkey)... very exciting stuff

[Human Kerbals]

this would make for an awsome mod, or even as part of an official realism DLC for ksp

[How do you land a spaceplane on duna?]

you have to get the Infernal Robotics mod and build an ornithopter, like so:

[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

[Three-legged walking robot]

Uses Infernal Robotics, tweakscale, and mechjeb. Also I'm using a utility called AutoHotKey to loop the IR hotkeys in the order I want.

[Will KSP get realistic in the Future?]

there's a lot of room for ksp to be more realistic, before its "too realistic", unfortunately, not everyone agrees
