IIRC the thrust transform is case-sensitive, at least I have a vague memory back when I did the USI sounding rockets a year or so ago that changing the thrust transform name gave me effects and I was like - "really?!"

Ohh, care to share? :) The sounding rockets are the last engines on my list to do.  I can also add it to my pull request if you want?

I made about a dozen configs no problem, but I have two specific engines that just wont work.  I've tripple checked the part name to make sure its right.   What other common things would cause it to not work?  In-game the engine has no plume at all, and smokescreen shows no particle effects.

log file...  https://drive.google.com/open?id=16YvH1eo6W-WP996_9-1RZctljnzSzg5u

This is the config I'm trying. 


@PART[FTT_Engine_375_01]:FOR[RealPlume]:NEEDS[SmokeScreen]
{
    PLUME
    {
        name = Hypergolic-Upper
        transformName = thrustTransform
        localRotation = 0,0,0
        localPosition =0,0,5
        fixedScale = 1.5
        energy = 1
        speed = 1
    }

    @MODULE[ModuleEngines*]
    {
        %powerEffectName = Hypergolic-Upper
        !runningEffectName = DELETE
    }
}

The part even says "Plume configured by Real Plume" on it.  

 

EDIT: I put in a pull request for all the other configs I did.

Yeah, make sure you double check with the actual mod engine config and see what transform the engine uses. If the plume and engine config don't match, the plume won't be applied.

Does anyone use this mod with KSPI-E? The nuclear turbojets don't seem to have a defined plume/sounds for any propellants other than IntakeAir.

I don't have KSPI-E plumes bundled with RPS. It looks like the mod comes bundled with configs so report this on their thread so they can look into it :)

Realplume does't work for me. I have smokescreen and module manager installed, but it still doesn't work. Could it be that smokescreen isn't updated?

Please help!

Thanks

What KSP version are you using? Are you using the dependencies included with the RealPlume download? Do you have logs? Pictures?

What is the current issue with LFO Engine smoke? Is this something that you are currently working on?

LFO engine plumes do not have smoke effects. Only SRB plumes have them. This is by design, not an issue.

Hi guys, maybe this is a silly question,but....

does KW Rocketry "REBALANCED" use this mod, will I am able to see those wonderful effect on KW Rocketry "REBALANCED"'s parts?....

Thank you in advance 

Cheers!

If the engines use the same engine ID names, yes it should.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to announce that, thanks to @sarbian, RealPlume-Stock now supports TweakScale on all engines. This long awaited feature is finally here and I'm very happy to pass it along to you all. Enjoy your 100m engines :wink: 

RealPlume-Stock v1.1.0

- TweakScale support added (thanks sarbian!!!)

- Updated Module Manager to v3.0.1

- Updated SmokeScreen to v2.7.6.1

- Added engine configs (thanks @eberkain)

Ok thank you for the reply, 

now, I'm a noob, so, how can I check the engine id ?

cheers;

Basically, what he is saying is if the parts are named the same, they will work, and they are, so you can enjoy real plume with kw rocketry rebalance.

@Nhawks17 , I have a serious issue to report. It took me almost 4 full days to track down, but now I'm 100% sure that RealPlume (or SmokeScreen) causes lag spikes in the game, unrelated to Garbage Collection spikes. I removed all my mods and then added them one by one until I found out this. These spikes happen every 4-6 seconds, or sometimes randomly. Very noticeable during Kerbin ascent. Logs are clean, so there's really nothing I can give to go on...

Would you mind taking a recording of it and posting it? And giving me your system specs. I have never seen this in my own testing and haven't received any reports before.

Have you tried turning max particles down in your SmokeScreen .cfg?

Could just be your rig choking on the additional FX. (No offense.)

Can this be applied to RCS blocks?  I find that I scale those up and down a good bit, but the gfx look goofy sometimes when you scale them small.  Is there a sutible plume to use for RCS?

The RCS plumes should scale already. My testing shows that it works and doesn't look bad. You can try using the Hypergolic-Vernier or Hypergolic-OMS-White plumes on RCS blocks if you don't like the look of stock plumes.

I'll have to check the parts but I know I was getting weird plumes with the RLA micro blocks when they were scaled down to like 50% size.

I get no plume at all on the LV-NX3 "Phoebus" Atomic Rocket Motor from SXT.   The part name is SXTNERVA  and a quick search shows it does have a config.   

@PART[SXTNERVA]:FOR[RealPlume]:NEEDS[SmokeScreen] // LV-NX3 "Phoebus" Atomic Rocket Motor
{
    PLUME
    {
        name = Hydrogen-NTR-HighTemp
        transformName = thrustTransform
        localRotation = 0,0,0
        localPosition = 0,0,0.5
        fixedScale = 1
        energy = 1.5
        speed = 1.3
        emissionMult = 1
    }
    @MODULE[ModuleEngines*]
    {
        %powerEffectName = Hydrogen-NTR-HighTemp
    }
}

The other SXT nerta is called LV-NX4 "Fat Mun" Atomic Rocket Motor with the part name SXTNERVAB and has this config,  

@PART[SXTNERVAB]:FOR[RealPlume]:NEEDS[SmokeScreen] // LV-NX4 "Fat Mun" Atomic Rocket Motor
{
    PLUME
    {
        name = Hydrogen-NTR
        transformName = thrustTransform
        localRotation = 0,0,0
        localPosition = 0,0,-2.3
        fixedScale = 1.2
        energy = 1
        speed = 1.5
    }
    @MODULE[ModuleEngines*]
    {
        %powerEffectName = Hydrogen-NTR
    }
}

It seems to work fine.

I'm doing a small patch for Kerbal Atomics, from @Nertea:

The second (right-left) is the stock squad, what do you guys think? The other 2 engines are huge (so they plumes), I tried to give each one a slight different style, with the Emancipator receiving one that it's worth it's overpoweredness :P 

Now I'll try to do the same with the multi-mode engines, will post when/if finished.

I'll left the 2 aerospikes out, they work great in the vacuum with the included plumes in the mod, but in atm not so much, and they have relatively good and unique "stock" plumes.

1Akidbm.jpg

Finished the dual mode engines, It's a little confusing at first, but not very hard.

Normal mode, I gave them smaller plumes than the "pure" nuclear engines. The biggest one it's around the size/power of the second biggest from the first picture.

I was surprised to not found any patch for this awesome mod. Hope it's useful!
