larkvi

The craft in question were built and launched in a new save and suddenly started showing the nodes as missing after launching another craft with Tweakable and KM parts, so I am not sure that applies. In any case, I will delete the crafts in question and try out the new 1.36 version.

I have been having a lot of problems with my saves recently, and while a lot of rebuilding mod-by-mod has not fixed it, TweakScale seems to be involved, so I thought I might start here. I made a more minimal example with just three craft with the two mods I most suspect are involved, Tweakscale and Klockheed Martian, and I cannot exactly replicate the bug, exactly, but it was unpredictable in when it first appeared in the original save, and perhaps the save itself if just corrupt at this point, but I thought I would put the log up here and see if anyone has any suggestions for how I might proceed. I am playing 0.24.2 on Mac OS X. Using: Toolbar, Active Texture Management, Deadly Reentry Continued 5.2, Firespitter dll, Klockheed Martian and KM Special Parts, KW, Infernal Robotics 18.3, Mechjeb 2.3.1 dev 277, ModStatistics, Module Manager 2.2.0, NEAR 1.1.1, Procedural Fairings 3.08, RemoteTech 2, Scansat 6.1, TAC Life Support 9 (pre#4), Kerbal Alarm Clock, Tweakscale 1.34 Craft disappears, leaving only Log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sofskjftnydv040/larkvi_20140803_01.log In this log, with more mods, but the same problem, https://www.dropbox.com/s/cpgfdfu0szmw61o/larkvi_20140803_02.log, most of my original craft is missing, leaving this: Interestingly, if I remove tweakscale, all the parts are there and attached, but they are no longer sized correctly, and the craft breaks apart. Is this related to the procedural parts bug/related to Tweakscale at all?

Really liking this work. I like that it is more stock-alike than KOSMOS.

I like a lot of the ideas proposed in this thread. Contracts as currently implemented feel flat and repetitive.

I have been using FAR, but mainly for rockets, and will give this a try.

Since it seems there are a lot of parts that would all seem to need the same orientation change, it would seem like a good candidate for a find and replace function. With find next/replace, it wouldn't seem like it would take too long to check whether it was a B9 Panel or not and only replace it if it were.

Sirkut, I love the mod, but making boxes with the hinges drives me nuts, as they never seem to connect like it seems they should. Is there some way to get flat pieces to attach flush with the hinges, in a way that looks like a hinge on a door? I am attaching an image of one of my box satellites to show what I mean. You can see that the only way I could get the hinges to make a box leaves the hinges at a perpendicular to the flat piece. I suppose what I would really like is a 90-degree hinge that attaches on the flat sides. This may be a nitpick on a fantastic mod, but I find that there is a cognitive disconnect in how I think the part should work from looking at it, and how it actually attaches.

So, the reason I asked is that I whipped up a little (and quite inelegant) PERL script to do the fixing, which might help people in a similar situation in the future: #!/usr/bin/perl # Open file to read open(DATA1, "<part.cfg"); # Open new file to write open(DATA2, ">fixed_part.cfg"); # Set your offsets my $x_offset = -0.09553684; my $y_offset = 0; my $z_offset = 0.03435089; my $node4_offset = 0; my $node5_offset = 0; my $node6_offset = 0; my $node7_offset = 0; # Update all of the values in position by the offset. while(<DATA1>) { chomp; $x = $_; $x =~ s/(position = )(.*)(,)(.*)(,)(.*)/"position = ".($2 + $x_offset).",".($4 + $y_offset).",".($6 + $z_offset)/eg; $x =~ s/(node_stack)(.*)( = )(.*)(,)(.*)(,)(.*)(,)(.*)(,)(.*)(,)(.*)(,)(.*)/"node_stack".($2)." = ".($4 + $x_offset).",".($6 + $y_offset).",".($8 + $z_offset).",".($10 + $node4_offset).",".($12 + $node5_offset).",".($14 + $node6_offset).",".($16 + $node7_offset)/eg; print DATA2 $x."\n"; }; close( DATA1 ); close( DATA2 );

I will try that, but out of curiosity, would adjusting every part by -0.9553684,0,+0.3435089 have the same effect?

If you click on the spoiler, it reveals the image. I was concerned the post would be much too long with the two large images.

So, I have been getting some good practice with part welding, and have a part I am generally quite happy with, However, as you may notice in the lower-left corner of that image, What is happening, such that the landing legs are not binding to the skin of the storage compartment, but rather are off in empty space like that? How can I fix it. Part code included for reference.

So, I just thought I would share a thing I am doing with these excellent parts. I am welding together a utility module which I will use on both my minmus base and orbital station for storing life support supplies. Thanks for the good work!

This is a lot of fun--thanks for putting it together and cleaning it up.

Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree, and I can certainly wait until Monday for the video, but I assume that changing E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common to the appropriate corresponding directory (/Users/myUserName/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/) and then changing all instances of '\' to '/' will be sufficient in order to recompile this using Mono to work on my mac? In any event, I am going to be picking and choosing some of the changes for one of my other installs, so I might just install parts and changes piecemeal.

technogeeky, those sound like good improvements. When do you think you will have a working compile we can try out?

All the visible dishes, battery packs, and solar panels are from AIES. It has a lot of really decent probe parts, including some quality small engines (I actually deleted a lot of the larger parts, just to save space). The four small dishes have a nice animation, to boot.

I am happy to have you use any of the images, and I can send any others you need. I have been meaning to take more images of my probes.

DMagic, these are some of my favourite parts in the game--thanks so much for making them.

Really enjoying the series, especially since I am learning a lot from the look behind the curtains. I have been trimming my parts folder and it has improved loading time. I'd love to have the cfg that made the radiators work if you can add it to your post. Also looking forward to the craft files. (I can't get welding working at all on my setup, sadly.)

Thank you for all your work in getting this amazing mod back up and working after the update. It makes designing probes and satellites so much more fun.

Just wanted to say how much I have been immensely enjoying this series, and how much I am looking forward to the next one.
