NovaSilisko Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Note: everything in here is basically abandonware as I do not develop mods anymore. You can use it for your own projects, but please credit me in a readme file.Silisko Industries has recently gone through an overhaul to its distribution division. All products are now delivered from a warehouse situated in low orbit. If it\'s not there in 90 minutes, it\'s on us.The old thread was getting too big, so here\'s another.Most products are provided either direct from us, or through one of our child corporations.PacksNew from Probodobodyne Industrial! The DIY Probe Kit!Current parts roster:2 probe coresAeroshellAeroshell mountDrogue chuteSpace TelescopeStrutRadio DishExperiment Rack2 Solar Panels - one deployableRadioisotope Thermal GeneratorSensor UnitCamera MountSAS moduleFuel TankEngineBig engineBig engine with landing cushionMini lander legAntennaNote: All parts except the cores have zero drag so they affect flight as little as possible and don\'t obliterate themselves on liftoff. In addition, all parts are located in the 'Crew' tab, to keep things organized.Download:Requires 0.14+DropboxMediafireBACE 0.3(1) released - now ACTUALLY with moon landing gear and solar panels.Download:Requires 0.14+DropboxMediafireUpcoming parts:1m node pieceFunctional docking modules with 0.16 whatever update docking comes withDownload plugin sourceSpecial thanks to r4m0n and C7 for general programming assistance and the occasional entire source file!http://dl.dropbox.com/u/575558/KSP/Silisko%20Edition%202%20-%20Alpha%201.zipExtract to parts folder like any other mod. Completely self-contained, unlike the old version.The Silisko Edition is my feeble attempt at rebalancing the game\'s vanilla parts. It modifies the default values, so be warned that it might not be fully compatible with other mod packs, at least in terms of balance.The balance changes I have done are a matter of opinion. I don\'t like how the engines and decouplers in the vanilla set are extremely heavy, while at the same time, fuel is very dense and the engines very efficient. The end result is it makes staging a less-than-optimal solution, and SSTO is incredibly easy... I have tried my best to remedy this. Testing has shown that a two-stage rocket, three tanks on the lower stage, one on the upper, will reach orbit, while a simple stack of 4 tanks, no changes made other than the lack of a decoupler and second stage engine, cannot.IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS[list type=decimal][li]Download a fresh copy of KSP[/li][li]Install it into a new folder[/li][li]Go into the 'Parts' folder[/li][li]Delete everything in there, and replace it with the contents of KSP - Silisko Edition.zip[/li]TO UPDATE KSP OR THIS PACK[li]Upon a KSP update, install it as normal, then install Silisko Edition over it as detailed above[/li][li]To update the pack, delete the contents of the parts folder and re-extract the new file into it[/li]DO NOT extract this pack over an existing KSP install! Bad things will happen!Download:DropboxMediafirePlease report any problems you can think of.Mini-packsA tiny space shuttle! Launches on top of a rocket and then returns horizontally to land on a runway. No landing gear yet, but it can take landing without it.Launch can be tricky, as the plane likes to destabilize your flight dynamics. It takes some practice, but it\'s perfectly capable of reaching orbit.To perform a successful reentry, set your periapsis to 30,000m, and when you enter the atmosphere, keep level to the ground until about 30,000 meters, after which, tilt the nose up 10 degrees and turn on SAS. You can turn on SAS earlier if you like, but it makes maneuvering difficult.Download:DropboxMediafirePartsA sheet of wood to put kerbals on!Download:DropboxMediafireInstall: Just put the 'plankpod' folder into your parts folder. No mess no fuss.Kerbal model by prefim, used with permission! I gave the Kerbals eyes, and Jeb a pair of glasses. Also changed their faces to more match ingame ones.

TOAST Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Excellent. I can\'t wait for updates, when the time is available between helping develop the game. Also, second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmat Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 So Nova, will you be developing much more on the addon side of things, like Bace etc? or will you only be concentrating on developing with the Dev team? I\'d love to see more progress with the Bace kit, there\'s some really great stuff in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cykyrios Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I guess he will be the one to add stock space station parts to the game, be they similar to BACE or not.However it seems it won\'t be for 0.16, so maybe for 0.17 at best.Can\'t wait =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Zoom Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 If it\'s not there in 90 minutes, it\'s on us.I\'m a bit more concerned about it being on me, as most of these products are quite heavy and likely to be coming in at many m/s... I should probably stand far back from the target coordinates, yes?(Great stuff as always, and I may end up becoming a new Probodyne customer myself in the near future.)(P.S.: Now that you\'re on the official team, what is to become of the Silisko Edition?)

Valaco Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I have question about this mod. I recently got it and I noticed the engines dont fully shut off when at 0 throttle. Are they suppose to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cepheus Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 They are supposed to not shut off, I believe it says something about that in the part descriptionsVery true. If you\'re against it, you can shut off the fuel flow to them, or cheat, and edit the .cfg file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Wasteland Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Is the aeroshell supposed to crash and be annihilated on landing, or do I need a retro-pack to assist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadeass Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Can I have little question? What about heat shield with emissive map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokmonkey Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 A little question, I\'m not really familiar with BACE, and can\'t really find a description of it (100 pages of posts is alot to get lost in). What in BACE is just a place-holder, and which works. I\'m assuming the docking modules don\'t work. But what about the unmanned pod, is that supposed to work, such that I can hop in my space station after I deploy it? If so, how does it work. I tried to deploy one, but it just shows up as debris in the tracking station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endeavour Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 First of all, I love BACE, Probodobodyne, and Silisko 1.2. They feel more balanced than the stock parts, and are wonderfully challenging to use.A few questions:What is the Silisko Edition 2 Alpha?Now that NovaSilisko is part of Team Kerbal, is there a chance these will be added to the stock parts, along with the rebalancing?

AlexanderA100 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Nova is on the dev team, and he is saying that bace will have docking in 0.16. Pretty interesting...Nice try, but its been like that since late in the 0.15 patch production (last week of coding, then the two or so weeks of testing).Very interesting....anyways, doesn\'t some other pack have docking in 0.15 already?Nope. Docking parts? yes. Docking itself? no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko dash Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 he probably meant docking ports for EVA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourTee2 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 he probably meant docking ports for EVA.I doubt it. Near the end of the 0.15 update, around the time that they decided to push docking back, Harvester mentioned that docking was '90%' done. This being the case, everyone was fairly sure it would be in 0.16, and I\'ve got the feeling that Nova might have thought that as well (meaning he actually intended said ports to support the docking feature, not EVA\'s). Unfortunately, as the 0.16 update began its development cycle, it became quite clear that docking was nowhere near 90% done, so I\'m going to go ahead and assume that Nova simply never bothered to change that small bit of text.

Nibb31 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Nova is on the dev team, and he is saying that bace will have docking in 0.16. Pretty interesting...He wasn\'t on the dev team when he wrote that and he first wrote that when 0.14 was the current version. Things change a lot in software projects you know.
