loadCoefficient is one of mine. Used to adjust how much rolling resistance you get when the whatever-rolly-type-thing has weight applied. Tracks less, wheels more.

I took our code and referenced the new KSP 1.1 api and what should I say? The error list grew from ~10 entries (just debug stuff from SharpDevelop which Visual Studio can't interpret) to 50 entries.

Looking at the errors I think they mostly originate from the changed namespaces.
Summary:
- DustFX has 20 error regarding particle emitters not being accessible from GameObject anymore. (namespace problem?)
- GUI seems to only miss referencing the right namespace (can't find the ApplicationLoader, I think it is now in one of the new KSPsomething.dlls). \o/
- Rest of the errors are mostly about missing RigidBody and Renderer references in GameObject. (I think they are moved somewhere else.)

It doesn't look that serious but I only had a quick look. I have to re-read this post and scan the new dlls to get to know where everything was moved to.

I don't actually have access to the new libraries yet, so I can't really comment on what needs to be changed.  As for SharpDevelop stuff... the only stuff unique to that program are in the form of comment lines that SharpDevelop interprets.  That shouldn't have any impact on Visual Studio or anything else.

Anyway... I'm sure the GUI will need to be completely redone with a Unity 5 compatible GUI system.  It's supposed to be a lot easier with the new unity tools, but I haven't had a chance to mess with that yet.

I'm still a bit worried about the SpaceDock entry for KF.  I don't know who the tagged author is and the link in that entry still points to the old thread.

Hopefully all the differences are namespace/dll issues.  They'd have had to do a ton of work if their modules were changed so dramatically as to be outputting different stuff for related modules.  It's likely that anything new relating to wheels and collisions has been changed, but configured to output the same kind of data that other referencing modules would expect.  This would limit the need to completely rewrite the entire game.

It doesn't, although it does explain why one Mole Track wheel doesn't rotate in sync with the others.

I don't yet have an explanation for "rover's droop": I didn't take many external shots but this image shows it, with the forward wheel in each set dipping into the landscape. (On the other side the rear wheel droops because the tracks were added as subassemblies not by mirror symmetry). Unfortunately it only seems to occur after long periods of roving, making it hard to reproduce.

One thing to note here is that the wheels in that image aren't actually drooping into the landscape.  They're drooping into a static model of the runway.  Landscape is defined as the planetary surface.  Also, the droop can occur on any surface and, while the "long-roving" thing does happen, it also shows up a lot when tweaking the scale of the part.

 

EDIT: I haven't had any trouble editing posts... so my guess is you all are doing something wrong.  So... stop it.  There.  That's fixed now.

From looking around in the post you referenced, Aqua, it looks like a lot of this will be easily fixed in a temporary form by moving around the referenced DLLs and changing some namespace stuff around.  I found it a bit funny that they talked about shortcuts being eliminated in Unity 5, considering I never actually used any of those shortcuts nor even knew they existed.  Oh well.

They also drooped into about half the circumference of Kerbin - always the same wheel on each track - as mentioned above.

We talked about that a few pages ago. The guy contacted lofi and apologized to him. The SpaceDock guys are informed and are waiting for us to pump out a new release. Then they'll delete the entry.

Unfortunately it's more serious than I thought. WheelCollider seems to be completely gone. Everything is in Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll -> VPWheel and VPWheelCollider now. In total I counted 69(!) classes, enums and structs belonging to VP. It will take time to understand how everything is related and set up.

We have to rewrite everything. *sigh*

recent test DLL

What recent test dll? There wasn't a new dll for months.

Hmmmm. This could be good or bad.. VPWheelCollider will be Vehicle Physics, which is a library they bought in.

Do I have to buy a steam copy to get 1.1 preview? Happy to step back in and get the wheel collider stuff going again, as I'm probably best placed to do so. I'll leave the gui etc to you guys, though.

Yes, atm it is the only way to get access to it and Squad stated they won't distribute it through the Squad servers. They are to weak to handle that much traffic.The price in my country is 39.99 € :o. I bought the game for ~15 or 18 € back then.

If you don't want to buy it, you can still have a look here: http://vehiclephysics.com/
The wheel part cfg look like this now:

It seems Squad still tweaks the new wheel system. Atm it's impossible to not get into Tokyo Drift mode.

The wheels start spinning when I press forward, they stop spinning when I break, they turn when I press A or D (inverted), the suspension is compressed in the editor and extended in flight, but apart from that they do nothing.
That means: The rover doesn't roll or move. It just sits there. Hm...:huh:

Sorry bud, I was out putting the steam engine back together today.

Who knows if the wheel colliders in the existing .mu files are even compatible?! I'm guessing there's still no parttools update, so we're left guessing.

Great, thanks for the links.

Some of the wheels might be. Tracks are pretty much a definite no.

Oh, and the "bounds" helper object will need removing from the models. There's a partmodule if KF called objectDestroy (I think) which can help with that.

Wheels still similar to the old setup. just split up into several sub modules. Old wheels might work without reexport. as long as you got the right transform names in the submodules.

And no more Bounds object. grab the unity package from the wheels thread to see the new setup, very familiar for you I'm sure.

I might be a little greedy.. but does the anti-grav work in 1.1?

I know this may come across as a bit harsh but. Have you at the very least attempted to read back one to two pages?.....

Mmmm.... yes. The Repulsors doesn't use the wheel modules, and doesn't need to touch the ground to move. In my mind that would mean that it wouldn't be as broken compared to a lot of other stuff in the mod. Of course the UI stuff would be. (and DustFX)

For me it's what I use the most from this mod, and it was also the first parts.

Don't take anything for granted. I've not had a play yet, but looks like Squad have really thrown us a curveball.

 

EDIT: yes, that's really annoying. I'm not paying £30 for a copy of a game I already own so I can get the 1.1 beta or whatever it is. Sorry folks, it'll have to wait.

Sorry, it was more wondering then pushing. I don't expect you to pay for a game on steam when you already have it. but over all I'll be happy to wait.
