    [PATCH][WIP 1.0.5][Beta Release] WAST Stock Realism Rebalances v0.3.1.22Y

    in KSP1 Mod Development

    Posted

    v0.3.1.22Y has been released.

     

    Changes over last relase (0.2.2.19Y):
    - Readjusted a lot of stock jets
    - Added full KW support and some B9 Engine support
    - Cuts all fuel tanks (except for jet tanks as I don't quite want to break your planes) mass to 50%
    - Added minThrust limit to most of all engines (pretty sure it's this release)
    - Cut back all stock reaction wheels (including those in command modules)
    - Made all command modules (manned or not) consume a good amount of E/c
    - Made solar panels somewhat more powerful, and batteries a lot more capaci-tious
    - The RTG now consumes 238Pu as fuel
    - Other minor fixes

    Sorry to bother you,

    but these are the contents of the archive I got from SpaceDock, I see no plugin there:

    Ahh, sorry about that. That might be because of something went wrong when I was repacking and reuploading it to Spacedock as KerbalStuff went down.

    The one on GitHub should have all those stuff included, and I'm fixing the one on SD now.

     

    Update: SpaceDock doesn't quite want to upload for me. I guess I'll have to try again in a little bit.

    Update again: Done.

    I was looking everywhere on the forums and on interntet for the original EngineThrustController mod, cause its Github repo only has uncompiled cs project files and Kerbalstuff is long dead.

    Finally found it in the Odyssey Project repo by Bob Fitch, if anyone's looking for the mod here's the link:

    Engine Thrust Controller:

    The plugin has already been included in this pack.

    @Wavechaser What you also have to be careful with is that, unlike the rest of the SRBs, the Kickback natively uses ModuleEngineFX, so you'll have to delete the old code in a manner different than the stock SRB configs and the majority of existing configs. Basically, you want to have this at the beginning of your config instead the many lines at the beginning of the other SRB configs: 

    
!EFFECTS {}

    Also, what kept screwing up my own configs for myself was that I didn't set the transformName line on both the flame and smoke nodes to the proper value that the part uses, so make sure you grab the appropriate transformNames from the Kickback's config (MassiveSRB.cfg) and stick them into your own config (for this specific part, they would be fxPoint for the flame and smokePoint for the smoke).

    Quote

     

    oh ok, careful about moduleEnginesFX as they are tricky to work with compared to the regular moduleEngines. With the NASA engines they are all enginesFX If I recall. They dont work the same way when applying engine effects. But here is my go at it, Go in your config and find this PART section:

    ...more stuff...

     

    Then this doesn't make any sense. Even if I happened to write my own patch against ModuleEngines, then when I tried to transplant configs from KW's patches (which, their solids use ModuleEnginesFX), same thing happens. If I at the part wrong, nothing should happen.

    Here is the code:

    Hello Nazari,

    I noticed that you didn't write any HR configs for the S1 KD25k SRB, or known as the Kickback. I tried to write one, but it didn't come well. I wrote one myself from scratch, and then I tried one modified from KW's HR patch, and none of them worked. The booster provided thrust as it should, though no FX was displayed at all. 

    I've tried both of them on a PC and a Mac, so I guess it's not a hardware or OS problem.

    Any idea what to do?

    I can provide log and the configs if you need me to.

    Here, I will represent my awesome crafts in KSP (at least I think they are). Some of them are modelled on planes in real world comics or form other games, others are from my own design. Along with several naval ships and ground vehicles. Also, I'll show some useful skills while building crafts and share some mods I prefer.

    Whatever, have fun :P

    [PATCH][WIP 1.0.5][Beta Release] WAST Stock Realism Rebalances v0.3.1.22Y

    in KSP1 Mod Development

    Posted

    [quote name='NathanKell']Yeah, was looking at the Whiplash in particular since the other (well, non-RAPIER) jets are already real in 1.0x, they just have only .65-.75x the mass-per-thrust of their real counterpart, and 2x the Isp (although in real life Isp varies by velocity as well, so...). But I noticed you were giving some crazy-high increases in thrust at altitude, which don't comport at all with my research.

    For the record: the Juno is a J85 (upsized to produce 20kN not 13-14kN), the Panther is an F404 (although upsized to F100 size thrust), the Wheesley is a JT8D-219 (slightly upthrusted, again), the Goliath is a CF6 (ditto).
    The Whiplash is inspired by a J58 although a lot of guesswork is involved, and the RAPIER moreso.
    Feel free to crosscheck in AJE or something. :)[/QUOTE]

    Thanks for the info :)

    Edited for v0.3.1.22Y release

    Stock configs had never been real, or even close if at all. Some people grab RO as they want more challenges, while some others had to stuck with what stock game has.

    You may have changed some stuff here or there already, while you still want something that covers a wider spectrum of parts.

    There you go. WAST Studio is proud to present you the Stock Realism Rebalances, or SRR for short.

    It puts the difficulty between stock game and RO, and specs making as much senses as possible. For example, big turbofans with high bypass ratio are not supposed to work at full thrust at 1.5 Mach, nor should any turbofan go up to 3 Mach at all.

    The table of contents is dead. Goto command doesn't exist anymore. RIP Table of Contents.

    Secondary: GitHub

     


    – DEPENDENCIES –

     


    – NOT DEPENDENT BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED –

     


    – COMPATIBILITY –
    Works under KSP v1.0.5


    DOES NOT WORK WITH:
    Realism Overhaul (why would you want this if you have RO?)


    PROBABLY DOESN'T WORK WELL WITH:
    HotRockets!
    RealPlumes (including RP Stock Configs)
    Because I've messed around with the FX a little bit, the next update will (maybe) included a modified HotRockets patch (partially done)

     


    – INSTALLATION –
    1. Hit a download button somewhere
    2. Unzip
    3. Dump the content into GameData folder like you always do (Do NOT replace Cryogenic Engines if you already have it)
    4. ???
    5. PROFIT!!!

    Please, DO delete your previous SRR folder ( \KSP Root\GameData\WAST\ ) before updating. It's highly recommended to delete it manually, even though your machine will probably tell you if you want to replace it or not.

     


    – RECOMMENDED HARDWARE SETUP –

    Recommended:

    • PC w/ Windows 7 x64 or higher
      • Intel Core i5 4210M (2C4T, BF 2.60GHz, Turbo Boost 3.20GHz - 3.10GHz)
      • Intel HD Graphics 4600 (20EU at 200MHz - 1350MHz, 1GB Shared), Preferrebly highter
      • 6GB DDR3-1333
      • 5400RPM SATA3 HDD

    Or if you are a Mac user: (which, PCs are better. Fact, not opinion.)

    • MacBook Pro Late 2013 w/ Retina Screen
      • Intel Core i5 4258U (2C4T, BF 2.40GHz, Turbo Boost 2.90GHz - 2.80GHz)
      • Intel Iris Graphics 5100 (40EU at 200MHz - 1200MHz, 1.7GB Shared)
      • 8GB DDR3-1600
      • Apple SSD


    If you are able to run the stock game at a reasonable framerate, you should be fine with this

     


    – KNOWN ISSUES –
    If RealPlumes or HotRockets are installed, no FX are displayed for Whiplash and RAPIER (maybe Panther as well), but otherwise they function just fine

    Please comment if you find any.

     


    – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS –

    • Q: Will this pack cause my computer to blow up?
    • A: No. (If this happens to you, first of all, sorry about that, secondly, you've got problems. Seriously.)

     

    • Q: Do you support installations with the Community Windows x64 Workaround?
    • A: Yes. We. Do. As long as it's within our abilities, we will provide as much support as we do to the x86-32 stock builds.

     

    • Q: How is this DIFFERENT from Realism Overhaul and its components?
    • A: This just gave you a basic (-ish) idea of how rockets work (mostly). I'm being very loose on mixture ratios, all LH2/LOX has 10:1, and all LF/OX has 9:11. The real world doesn't work like that, and that's the main different between SRR and Real Fuels. RO is also stricter on other parameters, like mass. Besides, SRR has mostly rocket-centered patches, while RO also supports more stuff, like thermals. In terms of AJE, it's more automatic (though frankly more buggy).

     

    • Q: (some sort of bugs, instabilities and whatnot) happened! What the %$#@& is wrong with this!
    • A: Please refer back to the known issue section. This mod is still in heavy development phase, and as I've said above, use at your own risk. Nearly all pre-released stuff are buggy, and do expect that when using it. We're working hard to debug, though there are some beyond our ability or it takes longer to fix. Please, do backup your install before using this mod.

     

    • Q: My jet is not working in (some conditions)
    • A: If your craft is built and flown correctly, then I'll say it probably shouldn't work that way. No turbofan or turbojet engines are supposed to work at 3 Mach. Don't talk to me about SR-71. That thing goes to afterburner-ramjet mode after Mach 3, and its fuel flow into the turbine starts to decrease around Mach 2.8.

     

    • Q: My plane went too fast and exploded!
    • A: Too bad. If you have the Whiplash engine, well, that's how ramjets are. Live with it. It is a little bit overpowered considering its wide range of operation. I may or may not change that in the future.

     

    • Q: Will you add (this and that)
    • A: Probably not. But feel free to comment if you find something you want and it's not in the WIP Features list. We may add it to that if it's good.
