ok that's fine, I just mentioned it because people mentioned Delta IV, and if you guys were to do something new, why not do something that no one has done before. Delta IV heavy has been done to death, but no one has ever done a Scout to my knowledge, despite it's long and successful service record. I know it's a lot of work lol. I've been working on a project of my own for more than a year now and have no real likelihood of ever finishing it.

I think I must have missed something

How about BDB Minotaur/Taurus, Super Strypi, Scout, or Pegasus? Some of those wouldn't be that much work.

Thanks for bringing so many people's old mods back, and for making great stuff like EER, you're quite an asset to the community.

Your textures are top notch

Would changing the altitude settings be enough to make this work perfectly with the kscale 10x mod? It makes the atmosphere taller, to ~130km or so.

Ok, guess I'm not the only one dealing with this.

Well, at least you've got enough propellant.

You're one awesome guy @CobaltWolf

Has anyone made a science overhaul that removes science gain from experiments and attaches it to contracts instead? It seems likely, but I've only ever played with the vanilla science system, so I don't know what's out there. I plan on doing exactly this, but so far contract configurator is on the complicated side for an amateur like myself.

Thanks That will achieve my ends.

How do I address two different nodes with the same name? I can do this, but what if there are two ModuleScienceExperiment and they have different experimentID and different xmitDataScalar? @PART[mypart] { @MODULE[ModuleScienceExperiment] { @xmitDataScalar = 1 } } Thanks

Is there any way that I can use this with Kscale64? When I install Kscale64, I lose sunflare and in some situations, clouds.

same

Thanks! Adding ":FINAL" to master do not load patch made it work as intended Master do not load patch !PART[*]:HAS[~allowme[true]]:FINAL {} And then I just add that key+value to anything that I do want to show up. Much much easier than making a do not load patch for every part I didn't want to see, which is what I was doing before.

Because I didn't know you could do that ^.^ I assume I could do the inverse? !PART:HAS[~allowme[true]] {} This would require me to make a patch like this for every part I want to show up, right? @PART[solidBooster_sm] { %allowme = true } EDIT I tried this and it doesn't work :s

If I wanted to remove all parts that I haven't specifically allowed, I could write a patch like this !PART[*]:HAS[~description[*Configured]]{} And just add "Configured" to the end of the description of all parts that I want to use. Right? How might I do it if I don't want to put the word "Configured" at the end of every description? Because it kind of breaks immersion.

This isn't going to work with rescales, is it... Any suggestions on what I could do for graphics with Kscale64? I'm pleased with SVE, but I assume it won't work.

I don't think hydrogen produces a blue flame under any circumstances. normally varies between almost colorless and pinkish red, when burned with oxygen.

So if I want to make a patch that lets a part be tweakscaled to .3125m and and .35m how would I do it? How far off is this? @PART[mypart]:NEEDS[TweakScale] { %MODULE[TweakScale] { %type = scale %defaultScale = 0.3125 } %MODULE[SCALETYPE] { %name = scale %freeScale = false %scaleFactors = .3125, .35 } } What does incrementSlide do and do I need to include it?

Your modeling and texturing looks great. I will be using this

Thanks @NathanKell and @Raptor831

So by an EFFECTS node, is that PLUME? I tried adding exhaust with real plume (which I've also never used before) and this patch appears to work perfectly. @PART[SR_Rocket_625_01]:FOR[RealPlume]:NEEDS[SmokeScreen] { @TechRequired = start @title = Fast Finch Booster Rocket @mass = 0.288 @cost = 117 %entryCost = 585 @maxTemp = 1800 @description = The Fast Finch was the result of a project who's goal was to develop a solid rocket stage that could provide very high thrust for a couple seconds, for the purpose launching a smaller surface to air missile two kilometers into the sky and at speeds over mach two.

I can't learn everything from trial and error and looking at other people's patches, and I may have made a working patch, but I don't understand most of it. Like what function does specifying the Isp via atmosphereCurve serve when it's calculated from engineType and IspSL and IspV?

I managed to get everything working, so that the part info in the tech tree/VAB is all correct. But when I test it, there's no exhaust FX (It makes thrust and depletes fuel, just no flame). I'm guessing this is because this? @MODULE[ModuleEngine*] { @name = ModuleEnginesRF And the game ties exhaust FX to whether their ModuleEngines is running? If that's the case how do I get it to make exhaust again? I looked in several real fuels patches others have made but either it's not there or I'm not seeing it.

I'm not what I'd call competent. Do I need to add the ModuleEngineConfigs node if I don't need the part to have multiple configs? The IspSL and IspV keys - I'm guessing those are for multiplying the Isp for higher tech level configs? Do I need them If I don't want multiple configurations? What should I put in for the type key in ModuleFuelTank? Should it be Solid because it's a solid rocket or should it be the same as the propellant type? ~~ With the patch I posted, the thrust numbers are way off, something like 49MN, I have no idea why. I also can't get it to be able to hold PSPC, just solid fuel. I tried making the tank type PSPC, but that resulted in not being able to hold anything at all. It also said the burn rate was NaN PSPC/s, obviously a problem. ~~ Re. the description - I figure PSPC will be a substitute for my desired propellant for now. I'll figure out how to add propellants and define their densities later. The part I'm making is loosely based on the Nike booster/bumblebee family, and I wanted to use a high energy (for the time) double base propellant. I assume PSPC stands for polysulfide/perchlorate?
