[1.6.1] Chaka Monkey 161

[YANFRET]

1.0.5 SLS Verification flights

As with the other systems, new booster sep configs for SLS follow the new MLS format, also reduced parts count of booster by 16 pieces.

Things are really rolling through now. Took some time today to go back and update all the paperwork, the new licenses, packaging the download and checking for un-needed parts or files. The plan is to go live tonight or tomorrow.

You're welcome guys. We're up all night to get Monkey

And just in time to test out the deep space habitat concept than to use chaka!

Added snappy dialog

[ComatoseJedi]

Did you use the same craft files as before? If so, the same ones I cannot load some due to a karmony storage module. I do have the fustek station parts. If you've used another version that no longer exists on this planet, please tell the aliens to put it back on the forums, lol.

[YANFRET]

All new craft files.

Okay, let me rephrase the question: What Other Mods Were Used In The Making of Your Craft??

[tees]

None. You copy the contents of GameData from the zip and open the craft included.

Maybe the name of the part changed from the old names (it might be an old craft file)

According to my inquiry, these are all new craft files.

[dresoccer4]

thanks a ton for this awesome, awesome thing y'all have made.

so i'm a huge fan of the scatterer and the EVE to make the game look all purtty, but they like to eat a lot of memory as well. i tried to load up the EMLV Snacks craft, but KSP dies before it even makes it to the launch pad. 

any tips/tricks out there to allow these high-memory mods to play nice together? i know Chaka is basically a complete parts replacement so i tried to remove the Squad folder from GameData, but the game wouldn't load so assuming there's something kind of important in there.

thanks!

When you want it all. You may want to consider converting to 64bit.

 

64Bit Hack

 

[Delta_8930]

Looking good, with two small issues:

The Orion-SLS adapter ejects with an immense amount of force that throws the Orion off balance, yet the VAB says that its ejection force is "0.0". 

When I ignite the Orion MES with an extended nozzle, I get an error message that says the engine occulded and it won't ignite. 

 

[Matuchkin]

Is this Realism Overhaul capable? Please, please let it be. The world depends on you, yanfret.

Tell me more about "Orion MES with an extended nozzle"

 

Regarding the ejection, it's a known issue and we chose to roll with the update before having time to fix it, so as the first askor of the question, your inquiry has been attached to Monkey Action Ticket #646-28219. Thank you!

Thousands have asked, few have the answers

[Delta_8930]

Both the LV-900 engine and the Orion main engine "LV-900 with extended nozzle and higher ISP" send me an error message that it is "occluded" when I try to ignite it. It says that igniting is not possible. When I attempted to manually ignite the engine through right clicking it nothing happened and the the game said that the engine was off. 

[Delta_8930]

@Arcturusvfxand I have noticed another bug. In the CFG files for certain engines, for instance the RS-68B/C, the "ModuleSurfaceFX" is added but no launch smoke shows up in this game. However, when I tested the SLS block 1 SRB with the ModuleSurfaceFX launch smoke shows up.

Correct... without doing a lot of homework we threw that on a few engines just to see what would happen, and didn't tinker with it further. More on that later.

Yeah!  The concept was rolled out before 1.0.5 and now it doesn't work until we re make the Orion Spacecraft Adapter Collider. This is simple enough, but didn't want to put the update off any longer. So the part was pulled from Orion however it gets used for other things so it's still in the pack.
