Entr8899 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 23 hours ago, Shadow Wolf TJC said: For now, I've removed the mod (plus all the other mods that depended on it) from my GameData folder via CKAN, though only after I made backups of all those mods beforehand for archiving (like I did during my Starbound modding days). Personally, trimming this mod down won't be as easy for me as anyone reading this might at 1st think, since while I may not care all that much about most parts (such as, in general, engines, fuel tanks, aerodynamic surfaces, structural parts, command pods, probe cores, etc.), one notable exception would be the science experiments. Those I personally enjoy quite a bit, and I'm hoping to port them over to a new derivative mod that I'd like to keep for myself... for now. Or just, like, uninstall everything but BDB because it's such an amazing mod. I can't remember the last time I played KSP without it. @CobaltWolfAre the Seasat parts still in development?

I use this .bat file: @ECHO OFF PUSHD . FOR /R %%d IN (.) DO ( cd "%%d" IF EXIST *.cfg ( REN *.cfg *.txt ) ) POPD From there, you can look in Bluedog_DB\Resources\ to see the science experiments the mod adds and search for them in the parts folders Notepad++ can just search inside all cfg files in a dir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the last time I played KSP without it. And miss out on other gameplay-changing mods like Real Solar System, Tac Life Support, TweakScale, Procedural Parts, Ferram Aerospace, Airships, Sink'Em All, AtomicTech, and the Near Future and Far Future mods (just to name a scant few)? No thank you! Personally, as much as I enjoy Bluedog Design Bureau for how well-polished and expansive it is in terms of what parts it has to offer, I feel that it's more like an expansion of the same old parts that are on offer in stock KSP + its expansions, and not something really game-changing like the mods that I've mentioned before (besides making use of cryogenic engines, which is also common with many other parts mods out there). Therefore, if I would've had to drop some mods to get the game to load instead of crashing due to running out of memory, I'd much rather drop BDB than any of the other mods that I've mentioned before. Like I mentioned before, I'm personally looking out for more science experiments. However, what I might've forgotten to mention before is that I'm actually looking for more tasks to do in general beyond what the base game has to offer (in addition to doing more science experiments), such as colonizing space and exploring other star systems besides the home star system. I'm also looking for new gameplay challenges, such as dealing with the kinds of challenges that would've come with exploring a real-life-scaled home system, from exploring a real-scale solar system (which was why I had picked up Real Solar System), managing life support systems beyond the surface of the homeworld, and dealing with stuff that'll gradually break down over time (such as RTGs gradually growing weaker over time as their radioactive power source decays, or solar panels gradually growing weaker due to being exposed to too much solar radiation over time).

Were there any thoughts among the dev team about splitting this mod into multiple smaller mods for a more a-la carte style (like with the Near Future Mods)?

Yeah, BDB was never meant to add new functionality to the game - I'm an artist, not a coder, so we've only been able to take advantage of functionality that's in the stock game or comes from one of our few dependencies. 14 minutes ago, Shadow Wolf TJC said: Like I mentioned before, I'm personally looking out for more science experiments. The science experiments can't even be broken out into their own mod. Most of them use texture sheets which also contain all the other textures for the associated probes/crafts. You'd still need massive textures for parts that are only using small portions of them. 12 minutes ago, Shadow Wolf TJC said: How interesting.

The last thing I want to spend my free time doing is repackaging and reuploading and other busywork. I enjoy making stuff, what people do with it after I release it into the wild is up to them.

Understandable X2. I've experienced those kinds of issues before when modding other games. 7 minutes ago, CobaltWolf said: The science experiments can't even be broken out into their own mod.

I see. I suppose that exporting all of those textures that would've been shared among a wide variety of different parts to a "BDB core mod", which the other "BDB parts mods" would've needed to use as a dependency, would've been out of the question (at least for you)?

Basically the only such texture (ie shared among multiple parts) would be the glow from the insides of some engine bells lol As it is, the way it’s currently set up with pruneable part family folders, is basically the same functionality already. Just remove rocket family folders like atlas/titan/saturn and leave stuff like probes/apollo/skylab and you’ll be left with a lot of the science with a lot less parts overall.

Search your GameData folder for any instance of 'RealNames.cfg' and remove, otherwise will need a KSP.log to diagnose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesecake Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I once asked in the Kerbalism thread but unfortunately nobody there could help: Does anyone have current BDB-configs for Kerbalism? Especially Science? Skyhawk Science System has some but unfortunately inflatable habitats don't work anymore and there are some more problems in combination with Kerbalism. Unfortunately @CessnaSkyhawk is currently not active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and I apologize if this has been answered previously, just want to be sure). Replacement. The Atlas parts are the oldest rocket parts in the mod, the aim here to revamp, replace and expand on those parts. We consider the Titan revamp to be point at which the current art style and standard to have been established. Pretty much everything made since then can be considered "final". The Atlas parts are older. (sidenote although the SLV-3X Fatlas parts are technically newer, they were made to match the older parts so they will need to be redone too).

My work is focused on the classic balloon tank models up to Atlas III. The RD180 has been modelled with the Atlas III mount and I will make the Atlas V mount after coordinating with Invader when its being developed.
