Looks cool. Needs... A hotrockets emissive!

[touzenesmy]

No because it doesn't "burn" any fuel that's why I didn't do it, it's just a turbine compressing air, but not enough to make it explode or be "red" that's why electrical engines have a poor thrust

[JeffreyCor]

Very interesting! I'll be sure to download as soon as the download link works currently giving a 401 error.

[touzenesmy]

Gimme sec I'll see that

Go on, forgot to "publish" it, first mod so didn't knew I'll have to click on "publish"

Going to sleep a bit, let you test it and read the feedbacks tomorrow

Good night !

Ah, but the blue emissives used by ion engines in the hotrockets configs look SO COOL!

[Shadows2b]

You could always go on with a small animation of "white stuff" coming out of the engines, you know, the compressed air in the cold temperatures of the heights

[touzenesmy]

Okey, I'll try to add it tonight

Done, do you should have the smoke effect while using the engine, don't you ?

Edited May 2, 2015 by touzenesmy

[JeffreyCor]

Noticed in the SPH the thrust is shown as NaN and power consumption as infinite

[touzenesmy]

I'll fix that, it'll be released with the particles, maybe tomorrow (the emissive section of the engine is driving me a bit crazy )

EDIT: here's what I've got in SPH, are you sure about it ? can I have a screenshot ? is someone else having the same issues ?

Edited May 2, 2015 by touzenesmy

[JeffreyCor]

Error on my part, it is in the tech tree display not SPH. Oops on that part.

In the tech tree part display gave the strange values.

[touzenesmy]

I'm working on the part since yesterday, dunno if it's a change I did or not, but it looks fine now

[touzenesmy]

Just finished making some coloring effects, I'll show you this once I finish the particles one

[josh__ab]

Looks cool! Simple enough and it works.

[touzenesmy]

Here's the new screen, tell me what do you think about it

If you like it, I'll make this as the first update of the mod

Edited May 2, 2015 by touzenesmy

When i activate the engine the screen turns black and when i return to hangar the game frezzes

Pick here <-----On Activation

More Picks <----- The Kerbol System is Gone

Even More Picks <---- Early Morning No Sun (conclusion since the engines uses infinity electricity it used up the sun )

Congratulations! Your engines can destroy stars!

[touzenesmy]

my bad.... I'm very...very sorry about that ...

gimme a sec I'll repair that

Wut, it's working fine in my pc o.O, can you please tell me if you use mods ?

which version of kerbal do you use ? 1.0 or 1.0.2 ?

downloading 1.0.2 to give it a test there...

Edited May 3, 2015 by touzenesmy

[touzenesmy]

Nice ! it's bugging in 1.0.2 but not in 1.0

And if you read well, you'll read that the game is only compatible with 1.0.

I'm gonna start on the compatibility for 1.0.2 right now.

Thanks for the feedback

EDIT : Found the problem gimme a sec to correct it

Edited May 3, 2015 by touzenesmy

[touzenesmy]

Fixed, 1.1.2 released !

It shouldn't explode stars now, even if it was cool

after your tests + feedback, I'll start modeling a second part

Also uploaded source to github

Edited May 3, 2015 by touzenesmy

[touzenesmy]

Update ! new engine size 2 added !

[Mekan1k]

Awesome! I particularly like the fact it doesn't destroy the sun anymore.

[Kolago]

10MB for the mesh files! That huge!

[JeffreyCor]

folder structure in the zip with the update seems a bit off. Have to make a folder under GameData to add the contents of the zip to rather then straight copy. Could make it difficult for some users will lower folder structure experience.
