Yeah, finished with stock girder based rovers. Decided to build a rover chassis mod : - )

Hey taniwha, I'm afraid I'm a brand-noob to KSP Modding... But I'm not unfamiliar with blender. I've been attempting to use your mod as I won't install Unity on principle. Great work btw. However, I think I've found a bug, If you're inclined, I'd like to run it past you. My problem is with the node_collider meshes. If I create a cube in blender, 2m x 2m x 2m, then Texture & UV it and export it alone, KSP will load and render it (even without the node_collider). However, when I then wrap this cube in another, 3m x 3m x 3m, Texture and UV appropriately and name "node_collider" and export, KSP will render the larger, outer cube. I also cannot "pickup" the cube in KSP, it's like KSP isn't recognising the node_collider... I'm on blender 2.73 and your latest commit from github and KSP 0.90 on WinDowZ. Really appreciate the work and the plugins. Many thanks. I've also noticed that, with the exported "node_collider", even with the .cfg setting "attachRules = 1,1,1,1,1", I don't seem to be able to attach anything to the surface of the mesh. The cube, when put on the runway, "falls-through" the landing pad. Further reinforcing my suspicions. Is it something I'l configuring / rendering wrong? I've tried both exporting into ".mu" and a plain ".dae" collada export. Both seem to fail-cleanly as it were, nothing in the debug logs... Appreciate any help

I have exactly the same issue in Blender... But I refuse to install Unity on principle. Has anyone else encountered this and discovered a solution? It's driving me nuts :-(

Humbly submit for the consideration of the Forum. Jeb's Off Rover. After all, science can look cool too. Jeb's new wheels outside the KSC, and deployed at a mun-base ready to go drive about. Not exactly stock... It's got SurfaceLights, RollCage (and associated wheels), Nuclear generator from NearFutureElectrics, but it does do 120mph across the surface of the Mun. At least, It'll do that briefly, then it does 120mph through lower-Munar-orbit with an undisclosed, unpredicatable amount of rotation around x, y and z : - )
