Lifter Test Weights

[waterlubber]

I'm looking for a mod that adds hopefully procedural weights for lifters. For any textures, something that looked like

would be cool.

Does this mod exist? I was thinking of making once myself, but all the unity modeling rubbish is not for Linux

There this one Procedural test weights http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/76231

Sadly it only has a rocket nose cone weight. I'd love to see an interstage weight, I even requested it but I think stupid_chris is a very busy guy.

Really don't see why you couldn't just add it to any part you want ?

Just because there isn't a model for it. I'm not an artist.

I generally use a tank of the required mass attached to something that doesn't crossfeed, like a structural plate. If playing with Real Fuels I use Lead Ballast in my tanks.

Give a couple of minutes will see if can't fix one up.

That would be cool. If you make one, you should submit it as a pull request to be included.

[Mecripp]

Something like

EDIT- But there is a little problem trying to fix and that's with the nodes

[Mecripp]

Just finished getting the node fixed and will post soon.

You give this In line part a try https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72893034/Test%20Parts/Kerbal_NRAP-1.5.0.5.zip

All credit to the modders of the parts link here http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/76231 and new part is a Squad tank if it has to be a patch can give that a try

Thank you. On github, you first must fork, add the file, and then pull the completed thing back.

Ore canisters do a nice job as mock cargo. The large 2.5m filled with ore weights just under 18 tons.

[Mecripp]

Here is a new texture for it what you think ?

Can get texture here just copy to KSP/GameData/NRAP/Parts/Inline_Part and over-ride https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72893034/Test%20Parts/tank3.dds

The top one definitely looks better, It kind of matches better with the existing one.

I don't know if you noticed, but the mod page actually has the blender files for the original available to download. I don't know if that will help, I don't know Blender really.

As for Github, I can submit it on your behalf, if that is what you want.

[Mecripp]

Ok changed texture in download to match it hope you like.

[Alshain]

Ok, so I got it installed. Some constructive feedback... I would suggest if possible, make the lip to be yellow like the fins of the original and then make the logo smaller and put the checker pattern just under the lip to make it consistent with the other part. Also, I would remove the tank texture on the top and bottom and make it match the bottom of the original part.

ideally they would look a little better like they belong together.

On Github that would be great if you could and dang didn't see the blender files will have to check them out and @waterlubber it's a pain for Linux to have to dual boot to run unity has gimp and blender is not the same in windows has Linux along of jumping around and rebooting.

EDIT- @Alshain Ok will play with texture some more hehe all good.

EDIT- Wow don't know how, I missed the model and texture download on the frontpage lol.

[Mecripp]

That might take some play around with

[Alshain]

Hmm, well would it be easier to take the original model and flatten the top and remove the fins?

Ok so took a shot at just making a new model what do you think of this one ?

Getting better with each pass. I like that one a lot.

[Mecripp]

Some how, I got the center of mass off on that last one will run through it again and this time also take some of the shine off.

[drtedastro]
