so now looks like can really do some fun partupgrades - PartKaizen (KaizenKensai) mod here I come!

saweet! more stuff to play with!

I am considering it. really, like you said - straightforward - it is 99% configs and patches.

my turn.

yes, that one. I'd suggest to use it until the player changes over to the new parts/system.

this is a delightful mod. thank you.

I ask because have been working on updating this mod for release shortly. I have asked @Orum (the mod's original author) for permission/blessing to do so, and that if I haven't heard from him by the 24th of August will go ahead with the release. The license is ( CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 ) and allows for such. Will not be releasing parts for this mod because the original license for those parts does not allow for such. This updated version will not require special parts to work. Will be looking for beta testers soon, will create new thread and link here. Thank you in advance to @4x4cheesecake for most of the heavy lifting and @linuxgurugamer for the support and guidance. here is a teaser:

link is not working, anyone have a working link or a copy of the linked "taxecujize.cs" file?

Mr.Freeze it kindly.

no specific example, just a tale. when we where updating Orbital Tug, I wanted to add a new version of a single part 'helperDrone' - great little part - self contained drone with RCS, grabber, light, and reaction wheel - totally a drone. This version was going to integrate the TACSelfDestruct part - so it could be used as a demolitionHelperDrone (blow up space debris etc). I could have just copied the helperDrone.cfg and added the TACSelfDetruct module to it, but I also wanted it to look like Val had strapped on several blocks of explosives, and remote control detonation controller (both parts in the TACSelfDestruct mod). So I created a new part.cfg file and copied the original base part into it. I then added the TACSD module into the parts configuration code. In order to get the final look, I created in the VAB a helperDrone and surface attached the parts I wanted to be there (weld). I kept it simple. I saved that as a .craft file, and opened the .craft in a text editor and found the individual parts and copied their PosX, PoSY, PosZ, RotX, RotY, RotZ I wanted four parts welded to the base (3 of the same X-1100 and one twsa_bomb) since I used +PART (copy part) everything from the original part was there (or you can just copy the entire part.cfg and modify) (REMEMBER: change the part name to something different) I then copied the MODEL (or mesh) from the parts I wanted to weld - and adjusted the position/rotation (scale is optional - leave off unless you need it or get much better) into the new part. then it was quite a bit of mucking about to get them just right - (nodehelper helps) - which required restarted the game (or reloading the database) numerous times. That's it. (Autoweld does more - but this is the 99 class on manual welding) see below finished

make the part you want welded and save as .craft; then open the base part and merge in the models, textures, and features from the .craft file into a new part, by hand.

broken feature, and until my non-programming person can remove that feature - it is still available on github -

deleted from Spacedock and CKAN (pending)

I had that happen yesterday - in flight - just recompiled RMM and two icons were showing up - but it went away.

Ooooo - feature request - double click title bar to window shade it. just thought I'd ask! thank you for this indispensable and wondrous mod!

RMM compiles to 1.7.3 without any issues.

at first glance it looks like @supermerill was writing an entire part upgrade mod.

Of course somebody could always pick this up and extend it: https://github.com/supermerill/KspPartUpgrade I have started collecting partUpgrades and writing many as well. Eventually (on the really back burner) want to integrate a completely separate (along the bottom) set of R&D nodes that unlock partupgrades - so you would have to use science to unlock. the actual implementation is rather straightforward (of the tech tree), just takes a resource I am limited in - time.

the interface allows one to remove upgrades before a part is placed in the editor; these edits are meant to be implemented in flight, but according to @Gotmachine - they aren't. It is noted in the release that this is currently only a GUI enhancement and I haven't decided if I want to attempt to fully implement or strip the possible feature. The other mod that does this is based upon this mod's code. I shall, and the new thread should be posted shortly. In my opinion the main feature is the GUI enhancements, which is what attracted me to this mod in the first place. There was modification - the mod had (iirc) stopped working sometime before 1.7.3 - and a recompile and some (slight) code updates were needed. Do I have your permission to use the OP for the new thread?

that sounds good! since screen real estate is always at a premium, as little as possible . so just a thought (primitive but gets the idea across) : actual would of course look much prettier, might have a little more functionality, info, might be configurable - and be a tad bit smaller (and scalable - stretch)

Thank you @westamastaflash for this mod. Feature request: a mini-me version of the GUI - just say the basics - Warp - Hyperwarp toggle on/off buttons-something like that? If you can, great - if you can't - still great!

@RobertaME Thank you. as what @Gordon Dry says - may we kindly have a link to a massively hi-res version? Thank you in advance!

you can go to kerbalx.com (maybe) and look for the craft - if it is there, it will have a list of parts and mods required for that craft.

From the author - this does look like what he is talking about. Still - with JPLAdvTransparentPods installed - looks great (except occasionally having a girder through the head)
