Alright, finally took the opportunity to try out OSE again with my 1.8.1 save a few days ago; I haven't upgraded to 1.9.x yet so this report is probably worthless. Prognosis is that it still ain't working - gets up to 100% and then hangs without finishing up the print.
Best I can tell is that where Pathfinder is concerned, something in the code is unable to register the amount of storage space available in each of the modules and so OSE can't figure out where to put what it is you've built. The one in the picture was using a Pondarosa/Blacksmith; at least it's showing 200,000 liters of storage space at the top. For the Workshop module in the Castillo Factory it's showing zero, when it should have KIS space available. Angel says it's nothing on his end.
Log file for the session from which this screenshot came is here. Using KSP 1.8.1, KIS 1.24, Pathfinder 1.35 and Workshop 1.2.14 among other mods.Did you find a workaround for this? I'm having the same issue.

Is there a list somewhere of all the vessels that can be built with this mod?
And maybe a list of the standalone SRBs?

Here's a very simple MM patch that adds a little bit of ore, some Life Support resources for either Snacks! or TAC-LS, and a couple of experiment slots for WBI Pathfinder. It would be neater using B9 Partswitch but that would add a mod dependency. Resource balance is very rough based on other parts of about the same size.

I thought the question would be "WHAT payload would go on top of this thing"?..
A whole Saturn V, naturally.

Not between male and female ports, not. Just between a male probe and a female docking port. If I remember correctly what I'm trying to snap together is an octans docking port (the one with the extendable probe) and an eridani female docking drogue.
You need to use the same make of docking port for both sides, so Octans to Octans or Eridani to Eridani. Octans to Eridani won't work, even though they look vaguely similar.

Why does it seem as if everyone is obsessed with craft files for Tantares? Isn't it more fun trying to make your own crafts?
I guess a lot of people want to recreate historical craft and Soviet/Russian spacecraft are not as well documented as other nations, as I discovered when trying to summarise things on the Tantares wiki. A fair amount of info you dig up is speculative or simply bold assertions written by forum warriors who are often as misleading as the sources they are quoting!

Just now, si2504 said:
is there a version of the crafts compatible with 1.8.1? the crafts from your github just say craft incompatible when trying to load in the VAB. Thanks
Open the craft file in a text editor and change the version to 1.8.1. It's right at the top of the file, can't miss it!

Are there any instructions/pictures on how the new Leo parts go together?
I'll document it for the wiki once it's a bit closer to be the stable version. It's still WIP.
(I need to redo a lot of the new Thor/Delta stuff for similar reasons!)

Having some issues putting this stuff together it would really benefit from some basic craft files I cant seem to find the aero shell for the Orion
It's part of the Launch Abort System. Are you using my guide? It lists all the part names you need so you can search for them easily.

Do you mean the LMSS? because I am racking my brain (not a hard thing to do today) to remember what GMSS stands for.
It's what the Leo Modular Space Station is called if you're running the real names patch
Not sure which the depot parts are you are referring to @zakkpaz . There are habitation modules, crew labs, airlocks and a bunch of docking ports as well as the Advanced Gemini logistics containers. All of it is still there.

Where are the Titan II velocity adjustment motors supposed to go exactly? I know they go next to the second stage engine or something, but I can't really figure it out. Also, would it be possible to look into making white variants of the Titan I ullage motors and generic Titan separation motors?
SM-68B second stage tucked under the engine mount. Apparently they didn't feature on the 23G or GLV.

The new (newish) BDB Apollo docking port nose adapter thingy could use a matching texture to the rest.

now on a more serious note, you meant this?
Yep that's what he meant, though I confess I couldn't find a hex part with a node offset so I had to manually tweak and rotate it.
Ref PMAs on Unity. I had them the wrong way up on the wiki guide before. Now corrected. In the craft file I have PMA-3 in its final position where it was moved in 2017 before getting the IDA attached last year

Hey everyone, I have a question for those who play career with BDB and are interested in the contracts that are now bundled with this mod.
Currently, they have been made to loosely resemble the original, historical counterpart as it actually flew. But they have been made different in a couple of ways, including randomisation, in order to allow more science situations to be part of them. The result is though, that in the appropriate scale and OSO contract for example, is not possible with a historically correct build, due to the Delta C rocket not having enough delta-v.
So we had a little discussion as a result: should the contracts be closer to their historical counterparts, at the cost of the science you can do with em?
I'm leaning towards the more randomised ones, simply because if you want full on historical missions, there's already a separate contract pack for that. I think in the spirit of BDB, the bundled missions should encourage a bit of legoing.

They stated they have Tantares installed.
@Kilo60 I did see some discussion about the craft file being outdated so that's likely the issue. Try downloading the craft file again.
It is outdated - quite a few Tantares part names changed in recent updates. I've updated a version of my own ISS craft file. Link is in the Tantares thread.

4 hours ago, Kilo60 said:
Is it possible to combine the Old and New Tantares or do the files overwrite?
I believe you can. It's also relatively straight forward to fix the craft file manually. I started writing instructions but then thought to hell with it, I'll fix my own craft file!
It's by no means perfect and there are still a few bits missing (canadarm etc) but it's a good base from which to build on.
Get it from github here (right click and save as..)

I downloaded and installed this Mod with Habtech2 and when I try to load the Vessel ISS craft file I get missing Tantares parts like: Alniyat.Monosphere.1
Where do I get the additional parts from?
Thanks!
Which craft file are you using? It's likely out of date since Tantares has been updated.

The chart looks like it need to change a lot. I just lofted 10 t Munarlander descent stage to TMI with Titan IVB+Centaur T in JNSQ with 400m/s to spare on centaur after TMI (only to fond it can't dock with ascent stage because descent's anthena intersect with one of ascent's engine). So LKO is likely much more than that
Try hitting 100x100 orbit with the same payload and see how you get on. This is a very specific mission profile and Titan IVB probably isn't the best choice for it. Indeed it will be interesting to see how they all stack up given a different mission profile - I have no doubt that likes of Titan IV, Delta IV, Saturn V and indeed Atlas II will come much higher up the list.

Can anyone explain why in payload chart list LKO payload of saturn V (about 9t) lower than I (10t)? It make no sense
1 hour ago, Zorg said:There are some errors in that chart. Friz will make a fixed version at some point.
Kinda sorta - this is a chart for single specific mission profile: payload capacity to 100x100 LKO. In the case of Saturn V, it's designed for lobbing things to the Moon and a lot of the potential payload capacity is taken up by the mass of the third stage, which is used for the Trans Lunar Insertion. In this case you can either consider the third stage as part of the payload, or just remove the third stage altogether (i.e. see Saturn INT-21) and the capacity to LKO shoots up to 58t.
I could include the mass of upper stages in the payload numbers for rockets optimised for higher orbits but that might be confusing. I might just do a second chart with a different mission profile since after all, the intended use of this is to give a very rough steer as to which rocket family to use for a given payload mass.

First off thanks for reaching out about your concern!
I know you have been playing KSP for a lot of time but the link below is still your best first step to get a solution.
Other than that, I have a suggestion for you, one that some people won't agree with: QUIT using CKAN... Or alternatively if you feel compelled to use CKAN; EVERY TIME you have a new mod update. DELETE your KSP folder and start with a fresh install!
My opinion and why:
First off not all mods support CKAN.
If you do a clean install in KSP every-time you update ANY SINGLE mod, CKAN is completely, 99% perfectly* reliable. Sadly that can take a LOT OF TIME to do! As soon as you start updating individual mods and NOT doing a complete wipe and fresh install of KSP, CKAN can (not will) leave "artifacts" of old game files... and sometimes fully operable OLD game files when you "delete" a mod from your playlist. This alone can cause HUGE issues... And is the reason I no longer use CKAN. In Short, CKAN add a whole mess of variables that make it MUCH HARDER to troubleshoot where a problem is actually coming from.
I did a test over 6 months on two different computers using the EXACT SAME mods and updating within minutes of each other. With CKAN, my GameData folder grew to 5.3Gb of data while Manual install I was at 4.7Gb of data! Now that was over 150 mod updates, un-installs and re-installs in a 6 month period. Extra data means extra data that can cause problems with other mods. In looking in my "big" GameData folder, I found multiple copies of some mods or files, I found Obsolete files (that were
depreciatedremoved out of mods) and I found multiple copies of the ModuleManager.dll So to avoid problems don't use CKAN is my opinion. It is adding a layer of complexity with problems of it's own, onto an already complex process to "make it easier," to the end user.*Baring issues with the CKAN submission itself!
This is not a CKAN thread but I do feel the need to offer a counterpoint - I've used it extensively for BDB and other mods and never had a problem. It cleans up just find after itself. YMMV etc.
Speaking of Depth Masks, one thing I would love to see is a recessed antenna dish. I'm sure they must be a thing.

Maybe it's already there and I'm just not seeing it, but is there an Experiment Storage Unit wedge for this? If not, would it be possible to add? Always unsure where to place the stock one, and would be so nice if I could just place it as a wedge on a USII core.
Since MechJeb got added to every core by default, the US2 Guidance Computer became a bit redundant but it makes a terrific experiment storage unit. Simple MM patch:
@PART[USGuidanceComputer]:NEEDS[UniversalStorage2]:FINAL { { name = ModuleScienceContainer reviewActionName = Review Stored Data // #autoLOC_502201 //#autoLOC_502201 = Review Stored Data storeActionName = Store Experiments //#autoLOC_502202 //#autoLOC_502202 = Store Experiments evaOnlyStorage = True storageRange = 1.3 canBeTransferredToInVessel = True canTransferInVessel = True showStatus = True } } -

Where exactly in github?i am not really familiar with how it works. Thanks
Go to the Tantares wiki via the link in OP of this thread (or my sig block below); click the "Code" tab and you'll see all the craft files listed. You can right click and save link as... on an individual craft file or download the lot in a zip file using the green "clone or download button"

Reworking old stuff would be great but adding some new would be cool too if you have the enthusiasm for it. I'm thinking things like Tsyklon, Dnepr, Start or even Angara would round out the mod nicely!
As an aside, and speaking as a campaign player, it would be nice to have more compatibility patches for things like Life Support and ISRU included where relevant to give the parts more utility in a campaign game. I've knocked up a bunch for Snacks because I happen to be using that in my latest play through, although I suspect they're not very well-balanced.
