Well, my project to "refurbish" a bunch of old parts, including the Lionhead parts, has led me down a rabbithole of learning Unity, and Blender. XD The good news is that means I can just edit the models and cut off the non-working old wheels from these probes, and put in spots to mount stock wheels. If a few people are interested, I can bump that up my priority list.

if you could revamp the probes from this mod completely, now that would be amazing and i would crown you the kindest modder in history. because i had a chat with the dev on search and rescue, and god lord he was a cockgobbler. keep up the good work man! really supporting you on this!

On search and rescue? I don't follow.

 

Well, I hope I can do well enough for that praise, then.  I've got one more learning project that I'm tackling, and then I'll start seeing what I can do with the probes.

I just wanna say, feel free to send me a link if there is a beta available. keep it up m8!

Here is alittle update to the LH probe pack https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72893034/LH LandersProbes/LH_LandersProbes_v1.42.zip

for testing  will try and change the old LH fairing to stock or at less try and fix them some more

changed all textures to DDS  and changed some MODULE to the ksp 1.2 MODULE added tags,bulkheadProfiles

thanks cripp i had done this myself. I usually use a pimped version of the hermes for my initial surveys of bodies. so recon scan lo res altimetery scan anomaly scan.

with a fuel tank and engine etc all welded so its just one part. 

the circular solar panels i believe were done first with this mod. would be nice to upgrade those to use the fs texture switch so you could go from the black to the blue textures. i would even look at the chop shop  ssp mk2 solar panel textures with that matte black they use.

O man didn't even think about use a texture switcher for that hehe will give it a try

Do you know how to write fs texture switch ?

[COL.R.Neville]

k lil complicated at first. hehe

so with the blue texture folder rename the two tga files that are in there from (may want to see if you can convert these to DDS and see if they work.)

RENAME the Circular Folders to get rid of the space between Circular and Panel so right now they are Circular Panel, Circular Panel 2 ->CircularPanel, CircularPanel2

RENAME the blue texture folder file CircularPanel000 to CircularPanel010 then copy the renamed CircularPanel010 to the CircularPanel folder.

RENAME CircularPanel2000 to CircularPanel2010 then copy the renamed CircularPanel2010 to the CircularPanel2 Folder

so this one below is for the CircularPanel Folder. you do the same for the CircularPanel2 Folder and for the texturenames instead of 010 it would be 2010,2000 and the mapnames would both be 2001.

    MODULE
    {
        name = FStextureSwitch2
        textureNames = Lionhead_Aerospace_Inc/CircularPanel/CircularPanel010;Lionhead_Aerospace_Inc/CircularPanel/CircularPanel000
        objectNames =
        textureDisplayNames = Blue;Black;
        mapNames = Lionhead_Aerospace_Inc/CircularPanel/CircularPanel001;Lionhead_Aerospace_Inc/CircularPanel/CircularPanel001
        useFuelSwitchModule = false
        nextButtonText = Next Texture
        prevButtonText = Previous Texture
        moduleID = 1
    }

lemme know if you have a problem and I can do them both and pm you with all the files.

Small update to the LH CircularPanel mod  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72893034/LH LandersProbes/LH_CircularPanel_v5.0.zip

changed ( category = Electrical , maxTemp , added bulkheadProfiles , thermalMassModifier , emissiveConstant , heatConductivity , tags )

and added FStextureSwitch2 so if you have the Firespitter plugin installed you can change the textures from black to blue thanks too COL.R.Neville

for that   all credit to @Yogui87

for models and textures

by the way, I'm sure they still work, but if you check the stock solar panels, "sunTracking" is now "isTracking" and "raycastTransformName" is something like "secondaryTransform". I'd also be tempted to delete the powercurve, as I don't think it's needed and things have probably changed.

Glad to see you guys got the texture switching figured out.

To be safe, you could put a :NEEDS[Firespitter] on that MODULE node, to keep it from throwing an error if people don't have it installed.

[COL.R.Neville]

if you look at near future, kspie etc they all use the same for these values for the deployable solar panels. 

powercurve still the same. 

dont think it will error it just wont change textures pretty sure they wouldnt even get a button to choose to.

Are these small updates compatible with 1.2.1?

Yes the probe pack and solar panels one's

Great work!

Consider adding it to GitHub so we can fork and contribute more easily.

Some basic fixes. As for the wheels, we are probably screwed. As far as I can tell you need to add new transforms and animations before we can get the code going again

[MacLuky]

Looking into KSPWheel, perhaps there is a way to patch it @Yogui87 do you have access to the models as well? The may need to be recompiled.

I mean

Sorry, I saw the ESA patch stuff already. I was talking about the Pandora stuff, and as far as I can see, that one is certainly dead thanks to the wheel system it used basically having been borked by 1.2.X's new wheels system.

Yes that might be best if @Yogui87

has dropped out of KSP such great work needs to go on
