    [1.4.x] TweakScale v2.3.12(Apr-16)

    in KSP1 Mod Releases

    Posted

    delete the "patches" folder in the TweakScale folder. IR has its own TweakScale config included

    That's the easy but dirty solution, and you have to do it for every other mod that includes Tweakscale configs. And redo it again every time you update Tweakscale or any other mod.

    Any idea how to disable these patches with Module Manager?

    Option 1 would be interesting because of the structural "tail" and side bits on the F-22 as seen on EdussaconBR's photo above, you could attach stuff to it which would make it a bit more interesting than two engines attached to a bicoupler.

    If you do make a 1.25m version I don't see why you should scrap the twin design, you already have several textures and model that can be used as a basis for it and as you said it won't require much more memory. But I wouldn't bother with the single version at all since there's this new Panther fighter engine coming in stock. The twin design would really be worth adding to the game because of the unique attachement options.

    thats a good idea, maybe a MK2 F-22 engine like the MK2 turbojet? :D

    tbh there's nothing special to the Mk2 turbojet, it's just two stock jets and the Mk2 pants mashed together into a single part, and it will look even less unique with Porkjet's new jet engine models coming up in 1.1. Now if it had that sweet F-22 look... Yeah I'd be very favorable to a redesign of the Mk2 turbojet instead of an entirely new part.

    I second the 3.75m to 2x 2.5m adapter request, it could be quite useful even without interstage fairings like the 5m to 4x 2.5m adapter. A 5m to 2x 3.75m would be sweet too, I'd love to be able to put two of Nertea's Mars engines under a 5m tank without clipping...

    And while we're on the subject of structural adapters, why are there two different versions of the 2.5 to 1.25m interstage adapter? Can't you make a single one with two bottom nodes for the short and long fairings, like for some of your engines?

    Finally I agree that your custom sounds are pretty bad. Compare them with those in KW, they sound realistic and powerful but also high quality, yours sound like I'm listening to a tape record of a ICBM launch from the 1950's. No offense.

    I've avoided this mod as well as most procedural stuff since I started playing KSP because I don't really like how it goes against the "Lego blocks" philosophy of the game but I really want to try Infernal Robotics. I'd like to write a Module Manager patch that would disable the Tweakscale configs of all stock and mod parts except IR, how can I do that?

    [1.12.x] Heat Control - More radiators! (August 22, 2021)

    in KSP1 Mod Releases

    Posted

    All classic Near Future radiators will be present in the next update (no ETA).

    I think at this point it's safe to assume that it won't be until after 1.1 which might be less than two weeks away.

    And since Nertea is really busy at the moment and will likely have to make big updates to all of his mods it might take months...

    Nert, can you first release a 1.0.4 version of Heat Control even if 1.1 is right around the corner? Many important mods will take very long to update thanks to Unity 5 so a lot of people will most likely keep playing 1.0.4 for a while, I'd be really grateful if you did!

    I could consider it.. I've never used it, but it contains all the same modules that FS does?

    It has everything Firespitter has and more. The modules have the same names except that they start with "Interstellar" rather than "FS", so it's very simple to switch. Here's an exemple of how Necrobones wrote his fuel switching patch for Color Coded Canisters to support both IFS and Firespitter, with compatibility with Cryogenic Engines as a bonus:


    @PART[Size3LargeTank]:FOR[ColorCodedCans]:NEEDS[!InterstellarFuelSwitch|InterstellarFuelSwitch&!CryoEngines]
    {
        MODULE
        {
            name:NEEDS[!InterstellarFuelSwitch&!CryoEngines] = FSfuelSwitch    //ColorCodedCans fuel switching disables itself if Cryogenic Engines is installed to ensure compatibility
            name:NEEDS[InterstellarFuelSwitch&!CryoEngines] = InterstellarFuelSwitch
            resourceGui:NEEDS[InterstellarFuelSwitch] = LiquidFuel+Oxidizer;LiquidFuel;Oxidizer    //resourceGui is exclusive to IFS, it adds a fuel type indicator in the tweakable menu
            resourceNames = LiquidFuel,Oxidizer;LiquidFuel;Oxidizer
            resourceAmounts = 6480,7920;12960;15840
            basePartMass = 9
        }

    Hey Quiznoz, would you consider replacing Firespitter with Interstellar Fuel Switch in the next update, or even allowing to use either of these like Color-Coded Canister does? IFS is properly maintained and has more functionality, most high-profile modders like Nertea have made the switch. Your mod is now the only one in my fairly large list that depends on Firespitter, I'd really like to get rid of it and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    Reporting test results

    The fuel switching should disable itself if CryoEngines is installed, so that Cryo can do its thing. The only situation I can think of that might interfere with that is if you have InterstellarFuelSwitch and Firespitter installed together, but I haven't tested that.

    I actually do have them installed together, I use Firespitter for BahamutoD's Adjustable Landing Gear... Since CCC prefers Interstellar Fuel Switch I think everything should be fine, I'll test it for you I guess.

    EDIT: Everything seems to work fine with Color Coded Canisters, Fuel Tanks Plus, Cryogenic Engines, Firespitter and Interstellar Fuel Switch on the same save. Now all I need is alternate styles for the SpaceY 5m tanks!

    1.0.X Cross Platform Issues Thread

    in KSP1 Technical Support (PC, unmodded installs)

    I don't see listed here, "Career Pilots fail to properly hold position (prograde, retrograde, etc), and also "Career Pilots, when told to hold a position cause a jitter/wobble in the ship".

    That issue is caused by overkill torque, that's why it's usually encountered when piloting a ship that consists of a capsule and maybe a few other parts. A good add-on fix is to install Tweakable Everything, it lets you set the amount of torque in every axis in the VAB/SPH (from zero kN to twice the stock value) and adds a force percent slider available in flight.

    In the forums, on Reddit, and on the bug tracker, there are various phantom/runaway/unexplained overheating bug reports. Happening in modded and stock installs. Issue 5181 on the tracker is an example. Turning down conduction in the thermal debug menu seems to work around it.

    I can confirm, this is an extremely annoying issue. It happens both with very low mass parts (notably making octogonal struts very dangerous to use) and clipped parts. It can be triggered by physical and on-rail timewarp, ship loading, docking, etc. It caused major issues for me when I was building a very large space station because I clipped RCS tanks inside a structural parts on my RCS tugs, lots of stuff would randomly explode when docking modules or even loading the station. KIS/KAS doesn't like this bug either, parts attached with it seem to be very susceptible to these overheating issues. With all the frustration this bug caused for me I've been trying to find a fix but there doesn't seem to be aything other than not using cubic octogonal struts and never clipping stuff inside other parts.

    Hey NecroBones, I have a few things to say:

    The new 3.75m SRBs are awesome. I prefered the quad nozzle though.

    You added a bunch of really cool new parts in the last few updates, maybe you should update the pictures in the first post.

    Suggestion for a future update, or rather a separate pack: a collaboration with Nertea to bring us 5m Cryogenic Engines! You could simply reuse his textures and base model to make clusters of the 2.5m engines. And as a little extra you could bundle it with a cryogenic orange foam texture for the SpaceY 5m tanks, that could be switched with Interstellar Fuel Switch or Firespitter.

    My only suggestion would be (if this is possible) to disable Interstellar Fuel Switch for the NFP tanks, keep them restricted to LH2-only.

    I also think that this would be the best solution. Another idea would be to increase the dry mass of the NFP tanks if you put oxidizer in them, making it close to the stock tanks, so you can keep all the aesthetic possibilities while having good balance.

    Also maybe, just maybe, increasing the NTR's ISP a little bit? According to Wikipedia solid-core NTRs running on liquid hydrogen typically achieved ISPs of 850 to 1000s, while the LV-N is only 800s in vacuum. 900s would be reasonable I think.
