pizzaoverhead Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Free IVA! Free as in freedom: Get out of your seat while in IVA, move around inside your craft, open and close hatches. Free IVA has now been released! See the main thread here for details: Features Get out of your seat and explore your vessel from the inside. Open hatches and see from one part into the next. Walk around in gravity, or float through your vessel while on orbit. Download from the main thread [Source Code | Wiki] If you've enjoyed this, consider donating a cup of coffee to help with late night coding: Keys: Y - Enter free view Alt + Y - Lock view F - Open/Close hatch Alt + F - Open/Close connected hatch W - Forward S - Backward A - Strafe left D - Strafe right Q - Roll counterclockwise E - Roll clockwise Shift - Upward Ctrl - Downward Questions, comments, suggestions and ideas are welcome.

sashan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) On a side note - maybe it would be easier to cut a hatch using alpha texture method? Well, not that I know how KSP handles transparency, but it is usually easier to implement in games. Edited August 13, 2015 by sashan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not that I know how KSP handles transparency, but it is usually easier to implement in games.My concern is that it would put the alpha channel out of use for anything that already uses it. I may explore this in future and see what, if anything, breaks. Thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirligig Girl Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 It should have Gravity limitation on movement. When on a base on Eve, you shouldna just fly around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxg2827 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Awesome work!If hatches have already been created as separate meshes, what would you propose for them to work better with your mod? Any issues if the hatches are props, and not part of the IVA model.mu?Another question is how will this work between IVAs that are connected with docking ports (modded or stock)? would modpack docking ports need to have a void cut out in the bulkhead, or is there another method you are looking into?

Then well, you can try using separate mask texture, not sure if it is possible in Unity tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaoverhead Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 It should have Gravity limitation on movement. When on a base on Eve, you shouldna just fly around.That's the end goal, but it likely won't be in the first release. It would necessitate some method of providing hand holds and ladders. I'm not a fan of the idea of losing your craft because everyone's trapped in a heap in the bottom corner Awesome work!If hatches have already been created as separate meshes, what would you propose for them to work better with your mod? Any issues if the hatches are props, and not part of the IVA model.mu?Another question is how will this work between IVAs that are connected with docking ports (modded or stock)? would modpack docking ports need to have a void cut out in the bulkhead, or is there another method you are looking into?They'd have to provide some public method of being toggled or hidden. Props are readily accessible, so that should be fine.I would consider externally mounted docking ports to be clamping points rather than crew transfer ports, until they're mounted over a crew hatch. You can't bore through all of the science equipment in the Mobile Processing Lab and still have it usable The code will be available if anyone wants to create such behaviour however.I'd also like to add IVAs to crew transfer-capable parts that don't already have them: the HubMax 6-way connector, clamp-o-tron inline, docking ports, Z-4K battery bank and structural fuselage. All but the fuselage have markings indicating they have hatches for crew transfer. It's interesting to note that the Mk1-2 Command Pod and Mk1 Lander Can don't have any hatches in their IVA in spite of their being marked on the outside. I'll be adding hatches to the upper end of both of these as not having them just wouldn't be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to float through that module! For such detailed hatches, you could do an animated hatch showing the levers turning and the hatch swinging open.Ooh, can we click on a hatch to open it?That's the plan! It's early days at this point however. Only yesterday did I reach the point where I believe there are no remaining issues that would make this idea impossible to implement, so there's a lot of work to do to turn it into something actually worthy of being released.

Drew Kerman Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm thinking of having an extra crew member where possible on all my missions just so that I can use this to get more unique IVA views that can also include the actual crew, since no other mod out there lets you move the camera in IVA yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may explore this in future and see what, if anything, breaks. Thanks for the suggestion.You could create another shader that has an additional mask for the texture that is toggled on open. This would be the way I would do it. Then you could open and close the hatch, and if you used all 4 colors, you could create up to four hatches that could open and close.

RyanRising Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 RasterPropMonitor has some handles you can use to get out of your ship, so I have to wonder how much that will do for you.I think my brain is breaking from how amazing this mod will be.

sumghai Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Looks promising!My main concern is with how you're handling internal collisions. Your present approach would definitely work for most stock parts, but some mod crew cabins (such as FusTek): - are made up of multiple intersecting colliders, which are needed for concave areas - the internal may be shaped very differently from the exterior colliders (e.g. FusTek modules are round on the outside, but rectangular on the inside with chamfered edges plus some oddly-shaped circular segments for breakout areas)I'd like to suggest some sort of override feature, where mod authors can specify their own custom internal colliders for their pods.

MrHappyFace Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) In terms of collision, you could just brute force it and add a mesh collider the the internal model. This is far from ideal, but It would work with most, if not all internals. Edited August 13, 2015 by MrHappyFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
