Spray On Foam Insulation

(I tried googling this acronym a while back when I first came across it and actually its not easily found even when combined with terms like NASA or Rocket)

The orange stuff.

OK, never came to mind that some one was interested in coloring those rockets, but if anyone have suggestions I'll do them ;)

Dunno! American hardware was never a color party, I meant just texture swapping. All I can think of is Gemini in army blue and nothing more 

At some point texture switch for white Apollo CM was included in this mod, so that'd be nice ;)

EDIT: Found the demo vid. (Also shows how far BDB has come. Old CM was looking completely different...)

Hi cobalt, the mod isn't working for me. I boot up the game and i see the parts in the loading bar, so it acknowledges that its in the gamedata folder. But when i go into the VAB/SPH, the parts aren't there.

Trying to make Blue Gemini. Results are outstanding...

Did you make a separate image? It is probably flipped vertically, trying mirroring it to flip it upside down and resave it.

Can you post your KSP.log (located right next to the game exe) and a screenshot of your Gamedata folder?

Yes - because DDS files are saved flipped upside down... for some reason? I don't know why, it just 'is'.

Because the engine works like our eyes, it inverts the image for the brain to interpret .... (yes I got a degree at the Uni making explanations like that one)

Ok, so I figured out the textures but I'm having problems with stock texture switch. If anyone could help me out with this... For some reason it works only on aero cap and the structural adapter (the last two). 

@PART[bluedog_Gemini_Crew_A,bluedog_Gemini_Crew_B,bluedog_Gemini_Parachute_A,bluedog_Gemini_Port_A,bluedog_Gemini_Structure_A,bluedog_gemini_cap]
{
%MODULE
{
	name = ModulePartVariants
	primaryColor = #000000
	secondaryColor = #000000
	baseDisplayName = Default
	baseThemeName = BlackG
	VARIANT
	{
		name = TantaresGreen
		displayName = Blue
		themeName = BlueG
		primaryColor = #5d8aa8
		secondaryColor = #5d8aa8
		TEXTURE

			mainTextureURL = UKAF/Textures/Gemini_crew_blue

Try MODULE, not %MODULE.

You can look in GameData\ModuleManager.ConfigCache and see what's actually ending up in the parts. Your error log might have clues.

Drakenex,  Not to nit-pic but isn't Army Blue, um well, Olive Drab?  :P

Now NAVY or AIRFORCE blue....   That I could get behind....

Seriously by all accounts the US AirForce groups behind the Blue Gemini project did not want a Blue capsule....   A PR person thought it should be painted that color to separate it from the NASA version.    That being said Blue Gemini color would be nice.  

 

Now as to the black coatings on Mercury and Gemini.  It is a Heat reflective and radiative finish designed to allow a somewhat limited safety net if the capsule did not come down as designed (and MORE importantly to also prevent heat buildup in Direct Sunlight.)   I MM all Gemini and Mercury capsules to have an Ablative finish applied.... to the tune of 1/40th the BDB heat shield for said capsule.

Well, any other color before first pack?

 

 

@Drakenex White with red cross? 

@CobaltWolf I might have missed this, and sorry if it's already been asked, but do you plan on adding Apollo Block IV/V's service module? From the pictures I've seen it was about 1.5 times the length of the Block III/III+ SM.

Oh wow, I forgot I never did that one. Yeah I'll probably get to it at some point.

@Drakenex I think the colors are a little (or a lot) too much on those Geminis - what about something more like this:

 

yeah, those were Airforce blue and olive drab, but they practically sucks; now, be a good lad and share the hex code for those shades will ya?
