This is some of the best texturing I've ever seen. Great job, Beale

Is there somewhere that I can download this? I'd love to try it out.

Thanks!

Download is a few posts previous

Some more progress.

And a W.I.P. version of the launch site, if you would care to try it.

Here ! (don't forget kerbalkonstruct too)

Wait, @Beale, this place is in the middle of the ocean! That's crazy and awesome, but I thought it was going to be near (or on) that South-west island.

Good point, I should change the name.

Building on land became impractical because:

- Folks play on different terrain settings.

- I think terrain scatter is somewhat random and may appear inside the buildings occasionally (?)

It is near the southwest island, maybe 50km from the coast.

Yes, hopefully

It's quite small, double the width and depth of the house, the same width as the garage.

Thanks!

This is great material and help.

I think I am needing significantly more distance from VAB to launchpad!

Does RSS support Kerbal Konstructs? Could be fun to play around with.

It would be best placed in Southern Australia like the real life inspiration

Do you still have these old statics lying around? I'd love to make my own bases out of them

Yes, but not in a format usable in KSP, only the models and textures.
You would need to export them through Unity.

I do have unity installed on my computer. I could give it a try.

Here you go.

I recommend also to install Wings3D.

Inside you will find directories for [Black_Site] and [Mun_Launch_A].

Black_Site contains the files you are looking for, Mun_Launch_A Contains some static meshes for a Moon base.

Wow, this is awesome!

Now all I need to do is figure out how to export it properly...

Ok I have no idea how to export this.

Could someone please link me to a good tutorial on how to use the latest version of PartTools?

 

(nevermind, I figured it out)

Nice work!

How did you export it?

I would love to see your work in game.

Well, I haven't exported it just yet...

I did figure it out, but then unity crashed. I had to set up the whole thing all over again. But I'm almost done. I'll post screenshots once I'm done.

[Third_OfFive]

Well I forgot to add colliders, but other than that, it's looking pretty good.

[Third_OfFive]

Hey Beale, do you know how to turn this into a launch site? The .cfg file isn't cooperating with me...

(nevermind, figured that out too)

Colour me impressed! You have found a very nice location for placing it!

If you want to release this standalone or whatever, feel free .

 

 

On this mod:
Sorry for slow progress, busy busy.

Thanks Beale

Still working on it, perhaps when I'm done I could send you the files and have it be a spinoff or something?

Also, do you know if it's possible to add flagpoles in Kerbal Konstructs? I'd really like to add a flag next to the launchpad.

Hey I figured out how to make my own buildings too It took me a while and the textures are a bit stretched, but it doesn't look too shabby..

This is fun

Wow!

Like you say, the textures are stretched, but I really like your model  

Nice design.

And "Bealekor Kosmocentre"  

 

My only advice is to construct everything in Unity, as objects placed with KK will tend to not be positioned exactly the same place when you reload the save - floating point accuracy issue.

Yeah, that's the only problem I've been having...

You see, if I make the object too big/elaborate, Unity throws a fit and crashes when I try to export it. What you saw in the pictures (minus the building I made) had to be exported in three pieces.

Do you have a picture of your Unity hierarchy + What version you are using?

I am putting together SWLS in Unity 5 (5.2 I think?), it is very complex now, but no problems so far.

Each mesh is a child of the root object, each mesh has its own collider module.
