OrianCEV

robotics time! Now I'll be able to TERMINATE the competition!

Thanks, however I'm still confused on one thing, how come so many different engines generate their effects differently? for instance, the LV909 doesn't even have a engineFX module.

I've been working on an engine model along with some tutorials, and for the life of me I cannot get it to show flame nor smoke, while surface affects and the actual thrust itself work fine. Here's the config file, where the problem is. I can't seem to understand the FX configurations setup.

Thanks. I'll try it.

Hi, I'm just starting out with modding and i've gotten decently far, I already have a model that went in game with the proper textures and collision mesh, however, I cannot figure out how to make the stack nodes appear or how to get the rocket engine visual effects to display. I've looked on the forum and there are some guides, but many link to long-gone forum posts. Thanks for the help. here's some resources of my part. Here is my unity workspace. The coordinates on the right are for a plane I used to approximate where my attach node would have to go(it's on the top of the engine) Here's my config file PART { name = LiquidEngineTE1 module = Part author = Orion mesh = model.mu rescaleFactor = 1.0 node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -0.124, 0.00, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0 node_stack_top = 0.0, 0.14, 0.00, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0 TechRequired = precisionPropulsion entryCost = 1750 cost = 300 category = Engine subcategory = 0 title = Liquid Test Engine "TE1" manufacturer = ArCanoid Aeronautics And Brass Instruments description = 3ABI's first rocket engine.

EDIT: I have now gotten particle affects and attach nodes, but the attach node only attaches in the wrong direction and is off center. In addition the flame seems to be instant, it doesn't go bigger or smaller with throttle changes. Picture:

My model is Model.mu

I've got a model and texture in the correct config-but It just won't load. .cfg PART { name = fuelTank.25 module = Part author = OrianCEV mesh = Model.mu scale = 1 rescaleFactor = 1 node_stack_top = 0.0, 0.2853027, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0 node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -0.2853027, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0 TechRequired = advFuelSystems entryCost = 2400 cost = 600 category = FuelTank subcategory = 0 title = FuelTank.25 manufacturer = Altair Planetary description = This tank is a salveged piece of some kids model rocket kit that we-*ahem*-borrowed. attachRules = 1,0,1,1,0 mass = 0.15 dragModelType = default maximum_drag = 0.2 minimum_drag = 0.2 angularDrag = 2 crashTolerance = 12 maxTemp = 2000 // = 2900 bulkheadProfiles = size1 RESOURCE { name = Monopropellant amount = 2500 maxAmount = 2500 } } file layout: Altair Planetary --Parts ----FuelTank ------FuelTank.25[all below files are within FuelTank.25] -------Fueltank.25.cfg[.cfg] -------Model.mu[model] -------model000.dds[texture]

That's great-but what are the four lines-pointing up, down, left, and right- in the Squad parts?

Many thanks, this modding community is great! - - - Updated - - - Could you give me a hand with putting this into blender?

I really want to get into KSP modding-but I just can't find a 1.0 compatible modding guide, anyone know any? I've been able to get a model into the game, but my collision mesh and my main are colliding and the spec. map is where the actual texture should be. I'm using blender. Help!

Nope. No KSP 1.0 on the promised day...not even an excuse for its delay..nor the server migrations...

What's happened to bahumutod?

I feel sorry for you having to fix all these bugs, helldiver.

Having some issues here... It seems the MFD's are being replaced by randomized textures, as seen here, the kerbal EVA suit and the textures for the KSO parts.. Is there an existing fix for this? I sure can't find it.

ooooooh, I see. thanks.

didn't work :\

Here's a mostly image thread for my launchers, witch are only the LKOTV and the Merlin series. Sorry they're not displayed on the page, I don't know how to do that. It'd be great if someone told me how to put imagur albums on forum posts. [No labels as of now, but There will be more when more launchers exist.] So, here they are.

It didn't seem to work, what do I need to change in the .cfg file of the MK3 craft file itself?

thanks, This'll hold me until they make an official IVA for it.

Although, could you tell me were I should place the file for the IVA?

They're probably just moving the spacecraft away from the SM, It doesn't have anything to do with the reentry.

thanks for the help.

I'm not exactly sure how to set that up correctly.

I was wondering if squad is going to put some real IVA's inside of the new MK3 manned parts, considering it currently only uses intimate blackness.

I noticed the new MK3 parts have no IVA's, can anyone make one for it with rasterprop integration and such?
