Real Agencies Collection v1.0.4 - for KSP 1.2.2 About: The Real Agencies Collection is not a real mod, it is just a small framework, a collection of real world companies, inlcuding their logos and some basic information, configured into KSP-agencies, so parts from realistic-ish-esque-alike mods, that have a matching manufacturer tag, will show up in their respective manufacturer categories in the VAB, with neat logos. I've selected original, as well as fused companies and consortiums, from the pioneering times to the modern world of rocketry and aeronautics, just to have them all (most of them), and add a teeny tiny bit of immersion. As a nice side effect, all companies can be selected as 'mission flag' and might even appear in mission control, offering explosion. In short: An agency framework for RealismOverhaul. Agencies currently available: Army Ballisic Missile Agency (ABMA) Aerojet Aerojet-Rocketdyne Airbus Airbus Defence & Space Ames Research Center Applied Physics Lab ArianeGroup Arianespace ATK BAE Systems Bell Aircraft Bendix Aviation Bigelow Aerospace Blue Origin Boeing Boeing IDS Bosch Bristol Siddeley California Institute of Technology (CalTech) China Acedemy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) Chrysler Convair Daimler-Benz Delco Electronics Douglas Dynetics EADS EADS Astrium European Space Agency (ESA) General Electric Aviation General Electric Godrej Grumman Hercules Honeywell Hughes HVA Peenemünde IBM IHI Aerospace International Launch Services (ILS) Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Information Satellite Systems Reshetnev (ISSR) Italian Space Agency (ASI) Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) KB Khimavtomatika KB KhimMash KB Yuzhnoye Khrunichev Krasmash L3 Electron Devices (L3 EDD) Lockheed Lockheed Martin Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Martin USA Martin Marietta Marquardt Corporation Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Matra Marconi Space (Matra) McDonnell McDonnell Douglas MDA Space Missions Mitsubishi Mittelwerk GmbH Moog MT Aerospace NASA North American Aviation (NAA) North American Rockwell Space Division (NAR) Northrop Grumman NPO Almaz NPO Energomash NPO Lavochkin NPO Mashinostroyeniya OKB-1 Orbital ATK Orbital Sciences PA Polyot PA Yuzhmash Pratt & Whitney Raytheon RKK Energia RocketLab Rocketdyne Rockwell International Rolls-Royce Roscosmos RUAG Space Safran Siemens Snecma SNTK Kuznetsov SpaceX Teledyne Technologies Thales Alenia Space Thiokol TsSKB-Progress United Launch Alliance (ULA) United Technologies U.S. Department Of Energy (DOE) U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Voronezh Mechanical Plant Features no "code" so far, only configs and pictures. The indiviual logos were taken from wikipedia entries, I merely resized and cropped them and made them transparent, where applicable. The descriptive texts are just cleaned up versions of the very first few lines from their wikipedia entries. The 'mentalities' are rather arbitrarily chosen, please feel free to point out funky business. Some of the rather intricately detailed logos have pretty washed out downscaled versions, my apologies, I have only paint.net and might have not always chosen the wisest of sources and scalings^^ Media: (North American Rockwell Space division) (NPO Energomash) (Rocketdyne.) WIP: - Localization for KSP 1.3.0... (wip) - Proper configuration of mentalities... (wip) - Addon Version Checker (AVC) support - Module Manager (MM) patch for conformal RealismOverhaul manufacturer entries (obsolete) - Fix file structure in download archive (done) - Very unlikely, but one never knows, a module that, according to the current ingame calender date and pre configured timeline tags in the partconfigs, changes manufacturer tags on individual parts, as well as enabling and disabling certain manufacturers and/or locking/unlocking of individual parts. Some funny simulation of company takeovers, fusion, conglomeration, disbandment, transformation, LosTech, mostly for people that like 'historic' playthroughs. Example: Soviet Union era OKBs get disabled on 26 September 1991, discontinued rocket parts get disabled, continued rocket parts have a new manufacturer. Or Martin Marietta and Lockheed becoming Lockheed Martin, all parts from the former two companies can now be found in the new company. Why? Huh... Sounds funny. But no priority, just a thought. Support: - SpaceDock - CKAN (implemented through SpaceDock, dunno if works properly) - If you find anything suspicious, malicious, devious, obnoxious or insidious, please don't hesitate and post any bugs here. - If you have suggestions regarding more agencies, dosn't hesitate, just tell which one you'd like to have. I'll wait until I have another batch to add (not too long) and make a new release. - If you happen to be the owner of a company in this mod and are very unfond of finding your awesome logo in this awesome game stuffed with awseome mods, please tell, I shalt remove thee^^ - If you want to participate in any way, feel free to participate, just poke me with an ad-equate poking stick. Dependencies: - Probably Module Manager, dunno^^ Intalling instructions: Download the *.zip (or *.rar) file from GitHub or SpaceDock, open it up, and extract the "RealAgenciesCollection" folder it into your "KSP\Gamedata\..." folder. Or use CKAN. RealAgenciesCollection v1.0.4 Download from GitHub Download from SpaceDock License: GPL-3.0 Changelog: v1.0.4 v1.0.3 v1.0.2 Credits: To aaaalll my friends!
