[[0.25]KSP Interstellar (Magnetic Nozzles, ISRU Revamp) Version 0.13]

The Megajoules resource is handled by a custom resource handler, because the stock resource handler didn't have nearly enough of the features Fractal wanted, and is just kind of bad in general- it's part of why we have problems with things like microwave beamed power from solar panels being limited by how much Electric Charge storage you have on the craft. To uniformly use Electric Charge, you'd have to outright override the stock resource handler, and I have no idea how difficult that could be or what sort of problems it could cause, but I suspect it could be nasty.

Also, I think you may have your scaling factor backwards, unless you really are saying you want 1 EC/s to be equivalent to 1 gigawatt rather than 1 kilowatt (the stock Interstellar scaling factor is 1000 EC = 1 MJ).

ahh yeah well spotted I wanted 100EC's to be one MW.

It is a shame about the resource handler.

what about a way to remove beamed power, warp, plasma/dt engines and the ISRU's ?

[[0.25]KSP Interstellar (Magnetic Nozzles, ISRU Revamp) Version 0.13]

how much work would be required to recode the plugin to uniformly use "electricCharge" in place of "Megajoules" with a scaling factor of 1 EC = 1000 MJ ?

[Kerbal Attachment System (KAS) 0.4.7 - Pipes as fuel lines and even fewer explosions!]

bug report: when firing a sepertron from a kerbal's back (I modified the Addmodule.cfg) no thrust is applied. I guess that it's a thrust transform issue. I dunno If this can or will be fixed, but I for one would like to see what happens when you apply a rocket directly to a kerbal.

[Kethane Pack 0.9.2 - New cinematic trailer! - 1.0 compatibility update]

Feature Request:

Could vessels with activated detectors continue to scan even when not the currently played vehicle? That would save a lot of waiting for my satellites to scan things.

Also kudos on the quick update

[Orion aka "Ol' Boom-boom"]

admittedly, no, but when one detonation is moving your praperisis by 1000000 m there's a line that's crossed

[Orion aka "Ol' Boom-boom"]

god, there is no finesse in this "engine", 1 nuke is knocking my orbit around like the ship's made of paper. ammo selector for different yield devices would be a nice feature down the line

[Orion aka "Ol' Boom-boom"]

I noticed, escape orbit in seconds

[Orion aka "Ol' Boom-boom"]

could this be adjusted to use the main throttle controls and activate/deactivate KSPfieldsevents? I don't want to have to hold down a key to work the engine.

Otherwise a fantastic mod, keep up the good work.

[Bigger overclock = more parts?]

it doesn't help. or wont help enough to make a noticeable difference which is the same thing.

Thanks hmm guess I'll have to wait for the optimizations to arrive.

increase voltage of cpu, to prevent overheating u can turn off 2 cores... but i think that this will help.. and this is nice idea, i will do this by myself :D ut without core tunring off..

OK but don't just go cranking the clocks without reviewing your load temps. Heat KILLS computers. (Trust me I've killed enough)

And the reason for shutting down cores (if it was explained to me correctly) is so you don't have to raise the voltages; or at least not as much.

[Bigger overclock = more parts?]

Isn't overclocking risky, and likely to cause issues like system instability or otherwise increasing chances something else can go wrong? Or at the very least reduce the effective CPU lifespan?

If done correctly and adaquately cooled overclocked cpus can give a trouble free performance boost. However care is needed in overclocking. whether it shortens CPU life I couldn't tell you, however its a gaming computer, I'm not going to keep it 10 years.

I should clarify I am after more parts in a vessel rather than more part types loaded.

[Bigger overclock = more parts?]

(This is a hardware support thread, sorry if its in the wrong place)

I am running an AMD FX4100 based system already clocked at 4GHz.

What I'm wondering is will shutting down one of the compute units (effectively killing two cores) and cranking the overclock improve the Max part count achievable in KSP?

[vague eva plugin idea]

wasn't looking for "help" I was looking for ideas and suggestions so I could firm together my ideas, I wasn't envisioning "pulling together" ships - not sure where you got that from! but only dealing with ships that are docked together and so become one vessel...

I can iterate over a parts list so could probably build a list of candidate parts ie a strut could go from a module to a fuel tank but you wouldnt really want to see an RCS thruster in the list of FROM and TO components...

As for if there is a clear path between parts I'm less certain of a method for that, possibly rely on the good sense of the user :-o

OK I think I know what your getting at now. I believe that a lot of the part placement code from the VAB works in the flight scene, so you can get a kerbal to grab a part and still test it's placement in the usual manner.

[vague eva plugin idea]

Hang on so let me clear this up. You'd like to be able to pull together and connect multiple ships in EVA, and surface mount parts including fuel lines (and presumably struts. Who doesn't like struts?)

As far as I am aware no plugin does that.

With the exception of pulling ships together and docking them in EVA it MIGHT be possible. However how you'd pull it off in game play would require a lot of careful thought. You need to consider how you want to get the spare parts into space. Do you want kerbals to remove parts too? How will they hold the part? Can they use ladders while they do? Can they drop the parts? As well as any other issues that you can think of. Once you've done that go make a concise but detailed post in the addon's request section; and maybe someone will give you a hand.

[Trying to find the Orbital Colonization and Construction mod (Or something close)]

I don't recall ever hearing about such a mod. To be on the safe side you might want to request it in the requests section.

[ISV venture star]

I'll admit this looks bloody cool, but what I'd really like to see is a ****ing big engine like yours curled up in, a 3-5m cylinder, that can be deployed in space and tow a traditional Kerbal ship between the planets (and later stars).

[Community Discussion - KSP "flavors"]

I've wanted to do something like this for ages, but don't have the resources to do it alone. It's nice to see another person who want's a "total conversion pack". as I said it's something I've always wanted to do and am willing to do; I just need some fellow modders to help take on the inordinate task of producing 200+ parts and holding down a real life too.

@DSLS I'm going to guess you have great community connections with your one post, however if you here from any active modders interested in doing something like this kindly point them in my direction.

@tom1499 Novapunch lacks in many areas. Especially balance

[ISV venture star]

is it to scale?

[Bored 3D Modeler looking for a challenge..]

oh god that looks cool!

Too bad its outside of my abilities as i have no idea how to adapt cart.dll to this thing. What i could do is build it without the wheels, and recommend everyone to go get tt modular multiwheels. Does it have to retain the weapons or can i make it a bit more peaceful? Looks awesome for a rover to any planet really. Adding this one to my list.

dude carts are stock now. Just add the right partmodule and some wheel colliders!!!

[Has anyone found a way to add celestial bodys to the map with a plugin?]

Ahh Yes... I forgot bodies where quandtrees rather than mesh objects.

Well what I want to do is put a few asteroids in orbit of something, so i guess I could clone Gilly.

Having minute experience with KSP code injection, and as I already have the tread open; can I call:

GameObject minmus = GameObject.Find("Minmus");

GameObject.Instantiate(minmus, minmus.transform.position + Vector3.right * 200000, minmus.transform.rotation);

any time I want a new minus to appear?

[vague eva plugin idea]

sorry but it's been done: Quantum fuel transfer mod

Even works inter vessel

[Bored 3D Modeler looking for a challenge..]

May I suggest a capsule support module to go under the pod like stage 4 on the Apollo mission. It could include: Solar panels + ASAS/MJ + Small amount of RCS propellent / thrusters + Big Batteries + De-coupler (pod side) + small amount of fuel NO ENGINE

Im imagining a 2.5M Diamiter x 2.5M Length part with a stupidly complicated segmented design and block coloured texture.

Modeling so it looks in place if/when life support is added could be great too.

[Has anyone found a way to add celestial bodys to the map with a plugin?]

[If I make an AlienFX plugin will anyone want it?]

there should be a "have" between "you" and "alienfx" in the poll but I can't edit it EDIT: Fixed -Navy4422

If I make an AlienFX plugin to hook the lighting up to some game events and variables (SAS/RCS status over the relevant keys + throttle and maybe stagelock) will anyone want it?

For those that haven't heard of it AlienFX is a dynamic multicoloured lighting system fitted to all Alienware Computers.
