If it's some kind of error there will likely be a log record. For the reference: which part (mod, version, name) you are attaching to what part (mod, version, name)?

IgorZ Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Another pre-release is ready. It fixes FR #101 and has a lot of other unreleased stuff. FR#101 won't go live until 1.2.4 is released since there are too many pending changes already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the reference: which part (mod, version, name) you are attaching to what part (mod, version, name)? There are parts that don't work right with KIS (e.g. most of the parts from Infernal Robotics). I just checked it, and it said [Error]: Actor::setLinearVelocity: Actor must be (non-kinematic) dynamic! [Error]: Actor::setAngularVelocity: Actor must be (non-kinematic) dynamic! I assumed this meant that the kerbal had to be stationary. I put shuttle I'm using out on the pad horizontally and played around inside the payload bay with a kerbal. I tried attaching the pylon on the truss while on a ladder, it still only dropped. Next I tried attaching the pylon while standing still on the floor, that didn't work either. The part I'm using is the ground pylon from KAS v0.5.5. I'm trying to attach it to a part titled "Frames 1 & 2" from the "Space Shuttle [SSP] for KSP" mod, unknown version. I can't track down the version because the master pack that part is included in has undergone countless iterations since the part was created 5 months ago.

It's not only the pylon that doesn't work though. I have a few other objects aboard my flight that I know should be able to be moved (they're KAS compatible, but the KIS drill still won't attach them to anything.

ExplorerKlatt Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 @LMRaptor it is likely an issue with the part you are trying to attach to. Some parts do not allow other parts to be surface attached to them. You can check this by opening the .cfg file for the part in question and check the attachRules = *,*,*,*. Each * will either be a 1 or a 0. If the last * is a 0, that part can't have other parts surface attached to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A majority of the parts I listed in my previous post were actually placed on these racks in the VAB. Now, there is a "srfAttach" value that IS zero. But that value is only 2nd in the list.

IgorZ Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Okay, guys. Version 1.2.4 is finally out! The starter post will get updated soon but you may get the new binary from the link (in the post) right now. This version has two big changes (moving groups of parts and re-dock mode), and your feedback would be really appreciated. P.S. As I mentioned before FR #101 is not in this version. Let's wait for a week to see if any bugs will be reported. In v1.2.5 the new feature and (possible) bug fixes will be released. Tentative ETA is next week. P.P.S. I've misspelled release file name so, when you download it it will be named: KIS_v1.3.4.zip which is, of course, incorrect. The right version is 1.2.4.

Tex_NL Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Great to see KIS well maintained and updated. But I did spot a tiny flaw: Downloading from Curse gave me KIS_v1.3.4.zip instead of 1.2.4. Obviously the 3 is just a typo but it could lead to confusion.

Can I finally "meld" two ships together? I'm at work so I can't test, but the hype is real!!! Also, a feature request for later (I'll let you bathe in your glory for now ): would it be possible to "offset" parts during attachment, like in the editor? Sometimes, a little clipping is needed...

I assume it refers to the Feature Request in the GitHub Issue #101 for KospY's KIS Repository, here: https://github.com/KospY/KIS/issues/101 Quote It appeared many people use mods that use keys 1-9 (e.g. EVAEnhancement), and this conflicts with KIS when eva kerbal has items to equip. Another good addition could be adding a configurable shift key to the hotkeys (shift, alt, ctrl, etc.). I'll take this FR on me.

I noticed the typo only when the file has been uploaded, and you cannot just change the name - curseforge requires to delete the old release and add a new one.

Can I finally "meld" two ships together? I'm at work so I can't test, but the hype is real!!! Yes, you can now "meld" two ships. Don't forget about mass limitation, though. Another limitation applied by the game engine is that you cannot connect two ships at any joint. You can only attach a root part of one ship to any other joint of the other ship (same as in the editor). Though, with some experience you'll learn how to re-assemble "wrong" ships on the orbit to have the right part to be the root. 4 hours ago, Kobymaru said: Also, a feature request for later (I'll let you bathe in your glory for now ): would it be possible to "offset" parts during attachment, like in the editor?

PocketBrotector Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Quick question - did anything ever happen with Github issue #54, "Scaling the grabbable mass on location or experience"? It looks like an awesome proposed feature; it's never quite made sense to me that my kerbals can "lift" exactly the same amount of mass on Kerbin as on Minmus or in microgravity. I did a quick search of the forum posts from back when it was suggested and I didn't see any discussion, so I'm guessing it was coded but the pull request was never made.

Synthesis Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Can someone help me? I've tried searching for an answer but cannot find it for the life of me: I want to make an equippable/carryable parachute (specifically the small Umbra sounding rocket) that my Kerbal can carry inventory, equip it, and then deploy it if they need to bail out of a craft in atmosphere. I can carry the umbra parachute inside the seat inventory, but for some reason, there doesn't seem to be any way to either attach it to the Kerbal in EVA or have them visibly carry it (it's just hidden in their invisible pocket). Is there some way to make this possible? Either with KAS or KIS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, the whole approach of mass limitation is planned to be changed in some future version. I was describing basic idea somewhere in this thread. I;m going to finalize it at design level and then implement. It will be kind of "mass re-scaling" approach but based on physics principles. 4 minutes ago, Synthesis said: Can someone help me?

Ideas to give kerbals a chute appear from time to time but I'd not say this should be a part of KIS or KAS. Though, such a chute can use KIS inventory as a storage.

Although, now that I think about it, the KIS storage crate does continue to retain the right click menu to access it's inventory.

Neat - I looked at the notes earlier in the thread and it's pretty clever to use the MMU as a physics-based method to mitigate weight limitations on the surface and inertia limitations in orbit. This will give some additional utility to the existing KIS EVA propellant canisters, too. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
