Pappystein it didn't work i think why B9Parts is a very dangerous mod for my game so it might be that but if is not what could it be? can i get help for the creator or someone else please?

1) B9PS is REQUIRED for BDB to work properly.  You remove it, you remove a good chunk of BDB.

2) as DeltaDizzy has already said we will need, at a Minimum, a Screenshot of the Gamedata folder to see what other mods you are running.   Ideally we would like the logs as well posted to whatever you favorite File sharing website is (onedrive, Dropbox, Pastebin, etc.)

===========================================================

A quick antenna update:

Unless someone can pull a nice equation or two out of a hat, i will be going with the whole-orbit method of antenna balancing. (whatever the missions target planet is, the DSN can reach everywhere in the planet's orbit) In accordance with this, the ranger dish will be getting checks notes 3.15x more powerful.

OK, It looks like you've got an installation problem. Most of those folder names look like package or zip names. If you open each of those folders inside GameData I expect you'll find another GameData folder inside it and the actual mod contents inside that.

And none of the folder names looks like they came from this mod either. (You would see Bluedog_DB, B9PartSwitch, CommunityResourcePack, DMagicScienceAnimate for a minimal BDB install)

I recommend moving them all (except the Squad and SquadExpansion folders which are part of the stock game) somewhere else on your hard disc then going through them one by one moving just the contents back into your gamedata folder.

i.e.

GameData/Omegas_Stockalike_Structures_No_Textures_Required/GameData/OSSNTR

should be

GameData/OSSNTR

If any of the folders has more than one folder inside its GameData folder then they are probably dependencies (other mods that the mod relies on to work) that were bundled with the mod by the author for convenience. When copying those over to your actual gamedata folder make sure to only take one copy of each and if multiple mods shipped the same dependencies then pick the most recent one (you'll often find a .version file inside the dependency's folder that you can open in a text editor to find out which version it is - pick the highest numbered one)

 

Alternatively if that sounds complicated then instead use CKAN to manage installing mods for you.

Hi All!

I've just install BDD for 1.7.3 and i've a question. I've the feeling my prometheus parts have a weird looking.. See the imgur link.

I precise i've only BDD installed in my gamedata.
I join my KSP log if necessary. 

Log : https://www.dropbox.com/s/q57pewpp57gg4ad/KSP.log?dl=0

 

Thanks for helping ! :)

Those are the dead parts. I'm not sure how you got them. Download the latest build from GitHub.

A couple of points.   Since WHATEVER space program has literally thousands of Engineers to plan a flight, and we, if we are lucky have a few mods + us....  Whole orbit makes sense.    The Patch would only be useful to those select few of us who can A) Do calculus in their head and on the fly, and more importantly B) actually know what they are doing.

If you are looking for the Formula for Radio range vs Signal Strength... Look at RADAR Formulas.  I know they are Log10 but that is how radio waves propagate.     THEN once you have the formula you can apply it to Radios in  game... Oh, no it won't work because Radios are more boolean than Logarithmic in KSP....

Does someone want to make a Realistic Radio Mod that completely replaces how Radios work????    *I KID*  RemoteTech seems to make huge inroads but even it does not seem to follow the Log10 formulas for Radio propagation. (I say this not ever having played with RT)

 

*************************

Every game I have ever played/modded that has Radios seems to think they work or they don't work 100% with no in between.      Have played many games where Radar, SONAR and IR and Visual are all well approximated... but Radio... NOOO it is the voice of god and not Radio at all.    No Radio Horizion, No Frequency propagation, no certain frequencies ducting along an ocean, etc etc etc.  

Also DeltaDizzy, thanks for posting the link to how to post images

Jebihean, I see several problems still with that screen shot.   Primarily is Module manager... There should be no folder without the .dll in the base GameData\ folder

Follow the guides that Aelfhe1m has already posted.

Well now that I've figured out a method things should go a lot quicker! All I'm wondering now is if it's possible to give antennae partupgrades...

I've revised my Delta II tower, the new single-piece version (sized for the BDB Delta II with no other heights) is ready and on the AlphaDev branch of my GitHub. New modular sections for the tower will follow soon, these will have more toggleable options--like the side panels, to create an unpaneled version which was used for earlier Deltas.

@Uohcnam You’ll find those are the old and deprecated Prometheus parts. They have a rusty texture to indicate new parts with better models have replaced them, and they will be removed in a future update. :)

I think FilterExtensions(?) makes hidden parts appear in the VAB parts list. They will be deleted for good (not just hidden) in the next major update but if it bothers you, you can go to Bluedog_DB/Parts/Titan/Old and delete the "Old" folder. Then you will only be left with nice new Titan parts :)

@CobaltWolf do you prefer tab intend or space intend?

I ask because the newest rls and dev repo have them mixed, like 

@PART[bluedog_UpperSolids_Star37BV]:NEEDS[zRealPlume,SmokeScreen]
{
	@MODULE[ModuleEngines*]
	{
		@name = ModuleEnginesFX
		%powerEffectName = Solid-Vacuum
	}
    PLUME
    {
        name = Solid-Vacuum
        transformName = thrustTransform
        localRotation = 0,0,0
        localPosition = 0,0,0.5
				emissionMult = 1
        fixedScale = 0.35
        energy = 1
        speed = 1
    }
}

How convenient that the one day I decide to check the KSP forums after a break from the game, there's a new BDB release! If you remember that delta blue LDC someone put together a while back, you asked if people would approve an official colour scheme of the same nature. I think it's gorgeous - so you have my vote in favour.

If you have installed BDB correctly it will look like this:

If you're on KSP 1.7.3 you should install from here: https://github.com/CobaltWolf/Bluedog-Design-Bureau/releases/download/v1.6.2/Bluedog.Design.Bureau.v1.6.2.for.KSP.1.7.3.zip

If on KSP 1.8.1 you should install from here: https://github.com/CobaltWolf/Bluedog-Design-Bureau/releases/download/v1.6.2/Bluedog.Design.Bureau.v1.6.2.for.KSP.1.8.1.zip
