NecroBones Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 So, if some bandit swapped out the dependency (A hard dependency btw) in CKAN for the core mod, there's realistically no chance of breaking the mod?Unless it's relying on those additional xenon-like fuel tanks for some reason, then yeah, it looks like it should be pretty safe. It's really the 'Core' that is needed for the functionality and is the more correct one to use as a dependency, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maculator Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Yeah categorys! Thats something I was hoping for. So I guess all your fantastic mods will be categoriced??Edit:Okay now im confused, I could swear I saw a "SpaceY"-Category while I had the "Pathfinder" mod installed because I wanted to have a look at the parts. Now that I deinstalled It, the "SpaceY" category is gone again? But i do have the Category folders inside the mod folders. I just cant see the categories anymore.Can someone explain that to me?

NecroBones Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Right now SpaceY adds a manufacturer's tab. If you use Filter Extensions mod, I think they also have a tab for SpaceY, plus some nice categorization for types of parts, like decouplers and so forth.

maculator Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Ok I found out, that it shows the tabs when I leave "WildBlueTools" installed. I ll try it now with Filter Extensions. Is there a way to "draw" the parts out of the stock categories and show them only in their own category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NecroBones Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Is there a way to "draw" the parts out of the stock categories and show them only in their own category?I'm not sure. It'll depend on what can be done with the categories and filtering in those editor mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maculator Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I made a modulemanager patch to set your parts into a own category, But i might try that again later. Need to read some tutorials algain. But i got myself the filterextensions and it didnt work. I habe all the patches and the omly time i see the space y and space y expanded categories is when i install the prwvious mentioned mod. Sorry for the typing. German autocorrect and english dont really fit together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maculator Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 That what it does. And it does it perfectly. But the things thSt confuses me is:You have the folder "category" in your mod with a .cfg and bmps with icons. Now when I have space y installed only i dont See a category .If i install wildbluetools and space y, your category appears and its all sorted.And if i install space y and filterextensions i get the aditional categories and subcategories and space y is sorted and placed in there as well. BUT I dont See the space y folder anymore wich onloy showed under the combination of space y and wildbluetools. Thats what i dont get. But never mind. Its just a thing i noticed.

I forgot about the "category" folder. Truthfully, I didn't know which mods would use that successfully. I saw it done in another mod (forgetting which one), and replicated it there just in case any of the menu filter mods would use it. I guess WildBlueTools does that.

maculator Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Thanks. I hope the mod author can tell me how he did it. Because it would be awsome to have the Stock cstegories besides a category for each mod. Keep up the good work.

NecroBones Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Posted:0.7 (2015-10-09) - Beta. - Corrected the cross-section profile on several parts (mainly Emu engines and decoupler/separators). - Fuel tanks now have multiple paint schemes, selectable if InterstellarFuelSwitch or Firespitter are installed. - Known issue: Will have nasty z-fighting with all paint schemes at once, if something tricks ModuleManager about Interstelar/Firespitter installed state. Might have to delete ModuleManager config cache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PickledTripod Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I don't know what are your plans for the next update but 7.5m external reaction wheels would be really useful. Rotating a 1000 tons payload is a bit of a pain in the ass right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauron Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 One more thing... Can we get a fairing texture that doesn't have those stockalike stripes? The regular 5m white is vastly more attractive and plays nicer with other parts and mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They worked OK on smaller fairings, but when you make large ones it looks very repetitive. I may pull them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NecroBones Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm posting this update in several of my mod threads, since it pertains to each of them. I believe all of these mods are probably working acceptably for now, with MRS needing the most love due to the changes in jet engines and air intakes. So I've marked them all as compatible with 1.0.5 except MRS.I've gone through the part CFG changes, and the patch notes, and built a laundry list of things to go over and tweak. Most of these are somewhat broad categories (like liquid fueled engines), rather than single parts, but I have a screenshot of my notes below. I may get some done today, but tomorrow will probably be the more productive day since I have Wednesday off from work for the holiday. Pardon the chicken-scratch. My handwriting is particularly bad when I'm rushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Boosters Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 NecroBones, what do you plan to do with the Kiwi? It was never particularly impressive with its efficiency (and also worse TWR than Mainsail and only slightly better TWR than Skipper), but with the Vector around now there doesn't seem to be anything going for it.
