Z3R0_0NL1N3 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Oh wow! The new Centaur is amazing! I didn't realise how much I needed this until I saw it (and I do use the Atlas V quite a lot in my career save, (hoping for the boosters one day too)). Any chance you may tackle the HTV/H-2 one day? I see that Japanese rockets are a maybe in your roadmap, but it definitely has a unique design if you get bored of ETS things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Contares has great H2 and HTV (also you can build pretty cool HTV out Tantares parts aswell ) altough some parts for the H-1 can be nice (I think texture switch would enough in this case..)

I'm really not much of a fan of Contares's style, and it's a difficultly organised mod to trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobaltWolf Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Hey everyone! Nov 1st is coming up, so I wanted to take a quick moment to plug my Patreon again! Making things for KSP is pretty much my main (and only) hobby, and on an average night I usually spend 3-4 hours working on BDB content, on top of being a full time college student. Supporting BDB via Patreon helps keep me supplied with vitamin gummies, coffee, and liquor - the three things that BDB runs on, as well as making me feel appreciated. Additionally, I'm currently saving for upgrades to my computer's RAM, as my current 8gb setup often has to cache to disk when I'm working, slowing me down and causing software crashes. If donating to BDB isn't for you, don't worry! Just know that I expect screenshots on the thread instead. As always, BDB (and my other projects) are completely free. New WIP screenshots are posted to the thread as soon as I feel they are worth showing, and new dev stuff is put up on Github several times a week. This is just to help support what I do. Also, in an effort to be transparent: Some time ago, I said that donations would be spent on getting Eucl3d 3D prints of the Kane, Sina, and Sarnus V. I wound up having to spend those donations on getting things for my new apartment like dishsoap and paper towels. I don't want to double dip on that front, so I'm seeing if I can swing them with Christmas money. Also also, my doctor recommended that I start taking vitamin supplements for some health issues I've been having. They're on my mind today Edited October 31, 2016 by CobaltWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that from the Github commits I made last night? I re-exported that interstage to correct some smoothing errors that someone noticed. I probably messed up the thrustTransforms; I'll fix them first thing when I get home tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI: It's just with the S-IVB Wide interstage. All others are great. PS: If you wanna get EPIC shots, get Better Time Warp Beta and set to slow-mo physics warp and stage.

Sauron Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Can I make a few observations? The Sarnus structural parts are outrageously heavy (7 tons?!?!)--they don't *do* anything right now. Maybe make things a little saner?) Is a fairing texture that matches (ish) the texture of the Saturn petal adapter possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your RAM DDR3 or 4? If it's 3 I can send you 8GB later this year, one of my friends is buying my soon-to-be-replaced mobo and processor, but not my RAM.

Is a fairing texture that matches (ish) the texture of the Saturn petal adapter possible? Saturn initially heavily overperformed (even by our standards) and was whacked around with a barbed wire nerf bat a few too many times. The balance is still a bit in flux. And a texture using the stock fairing system? Not a chance. Ask squad to make it so their fairing system doesn't mangle the hell outta textures and maybe I'll be able to get one that looks better. (on a related note, the texture for the current fairing appears to be off-color and I'm not sure why. I'm pretty sure that the fairing doesn't use a remotely correct shader and I don't think I can change that...) EDIT: @legoclone09 it's 1866Mhz DDR3. I have two open slots but the way they make RAM sticks these days (with those stupid fat plastic covers) makes me question whether I can fit more in. I had to stagger them in my current PC...

Your Christmas will be nice. It's a 2x4GB DDR3 1600 MHz, so not sure if it will fit. Hopefully!

Z3R0_0NL1N3 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 On other balance issues, the prices of things needs work. While I personally don't use the mod in career mode, I found it odd that the M/F docking port was 1000 while the androgynous port was 300. Surely the inferior model should be the cheaper one. But admittedly, I've not looked at much of the other prices in any real detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone wanted to make a pull request on Github with some improvements... Also, some stuff from tonight's noodling session (read: I didn't have anything I actually felt like working on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
