requires:

MFT: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/64117

CLS: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/122126

license: CC-BY-NC-SA

source: in zip

Basicly adds a button to part right-click menu to enable/disable a corridor (CLS)

When enabled, lowers the volume of an MFT tank on the part (sorry i use MFT not stock)

it will self detect the MFT tank volume, and part length for corridor, volume is 1.25M cylinder

can manually override in cfg

MODULE

{

name = ModuleCorridor

//enabledVolume = 5 //optional

//disabledVolume = 10 //optional

}

currently the only cfg provided is for jumbo64 tank as example

MFT adds itself to the tank, CLS doesn't (hense example cfg adding it)

CLS doesn't add itself to any tanks, even the large adapter tanks

i was annoyed at the choice of either have a part with MFT or CLS (both is fakey, magical space to walk?)

my 2nd option was to duplicate every part, have MFT on one, CLS on other, annoying more parts

so made this, best of all worlds, more configuring choices in editor wooo!

issues:

need to find an easy way to get tank volume as units per m3, RF uses 1000, MFT 200

...MFT does have tankVolumeConvertion but defaults to 1000 MFT or RF

...not sure a script when just MFT to blanket set all tanks to say 200 works

need a way to set tank drymass, MFT drymass is tank volume based

...lowering volume for corridor lowers drymass, as theres more structure it should raise drymass

and big thanks to taniwha and #kspmodders for tons of help

So absolutely NO ONE has tried this?!?... Or has ANYTHING to say about it?

Well, I've had the same idea few times Good, I'll install CLS and this one, always wanted to give CLS a try.

I recommend you to post pics tho, as "no pics no clicks". Also, put a link to CLS comewhere there.

Now all we need is one that does this for stacks of batteries...

This mod introduces a very nasty bug. The tank that can be hollowed out acts weird, jumps and rotates in place and sometimes dissapears. THe other parts, both up and down from the tank in hierarchy are good, unmoving at all.
