Help with Mod Config File

[jeffreystjean]

Okay so I just started modding not less than 24 hours ago and I've been following this tutorial here

So I made my fuel tank in blender, textured it with photoshop and blender, added the mesh with Unity and now I'm on to the config file.

My problem is that no matter what I do to the node parameters in the config file, the bottom node always wants to connect to the bottom of the engine instead of the top.

Here's the config file:

PART
{
    name = Test
    module = Part
    author = Jeff
    mesh = model.mu
    rescaleFactor - 1
    node_stack_top = 0.0, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1
    node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -2.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1
    TechRequired = start
    entryCost = 0
    cost = 275
    category = FuelTank
    subcategory = 0
    title = Test
    manufacturer = Jeff
    description = Test.
    attachRules = 1,1,1,1,0
    mass = 0.25
    dragModelType = default
    maximum_drag = 0.2
    minimum_drag = 0.3
    angularDrag = 2
    crashTolerance = 6
    maxTemp = 2000 // = 3600
    breakingForce = 50
    breakingTorque = 50
    bulkheadProfiles = size1, srf
    RESOURCE
    {
        name = LiquidFuel
        amount = 90
        maxAmount = 90
    }
    RESOURCE
    {
        name = Oxidizer
        amount = 110
        maxAmount = 110
    }
}

And the two specific lines I'm looking at

node_stack_top = 0.0, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1
node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -2.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1

And here's what the engine does when trying to attach:

If you need anymore details, just ask.

Your bottom node should be something like

node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -2.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1

Your bottom node should be something like

Ah, would you look at that, one simple negative changes the world. Thank you

rescaleFactor = 1

rescaleFactor = 1

Why would I change the rescale factor? I purposely made it the right size in Blender

You were missing the "=" sign. You had a "-" sign. I just thought it was a typo.

Oh right sorry my bad. When I first read your message, I thought you were suggesting I change it to "-1" so I was really confused. Yeah sometimes the config files want a '-' and other times they want a '=' but thank you

No problem. I've made that mistake quite a number of times. Sometimes I mess up my own proofreading.

Were you trying to make the model 1/2 the size bychance?

No, I was trying to make it the same size but I guess I accidentally put a dash instead of an equals sign. KSP probably defaulted the incorrect syntax to "No rescale" and left it the same size so I never noticed the incorrect symbol.

I'm now going to change it to:

rescaleFactor = 1
