SpannerMonkey(smce) Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Boomsticks Highly Dubious update A new Boomsticks is now available. With some venturing into weapon types not touched before. The highlights of this update are I feel the V weapons and launchers ( very happy with how they turned out) and the devastating 122mm rocket turret with custom rockets of course. Also included is a fully armed and equipped drone core, fitted with 3x30mm cannons and a full electronics and surveillance package, it has proved invaluable when testing other weapons systems. For the Sci Fi fans among you I've added the X 10 laser cannon that can be found attached to X wing fighters. Also reworked some of the larger gun effects and have finally achieved the muzzle flash I've been after since the start, I'm finally getting a feel for what the effects will look like in KSP compared to how the look when made in unity There may be issues with the clearance check on the V launchers, it seems to come and go so I've not been able to pin down exactly whats causing the issue, perhaps with this release and a few bits of feedback I can get it finally dialed in correctly. See below for full changelog The project is not going to be a wip much longer, I think it's about as big as it needs to be. I still have a couple of requests to finish but I think next update will be a release edition and move up to the releases thread, not that I'm stopping work completely on this, it will be maintained and updated as KSP and BD Armory require but i doubt that I'll add anything new. I'd rather call this done, at just over 40 items i think it's big enough and is becoming a handful to manage. Version 0.93.26.6 26/0616 update Added Hades UG 122mm rocket turret Added Fixed missile launcher for Harpoon type missiles Added turreted missile launcher for Harpoon style missiles Added hapoon missile Added V2 rocket Added V1 Doodlebug Added V1/V2 launcher added V2 launcher base Added Dual gustav ship turret Added Combat Drone Core pod Added ASM anti ship missile (designed to work with the VLS parts fromthe LBP) Added small cluster missile Added Xwing laser cannon Changed fire effects on larger guns Edited June 26, 2016 by SpannerMonkey(smce) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomker Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 @SpannerMonkey(smce) Per our conversation in the LBP thread found a few issues with some of the new parts ASM and Harpoon not repsonding to "Fire Missle" command from Action Group Harpoon accelerates insanely fast, somewhat tracks toward GPS target then explodes as it is going 400+m/s , I assume due to overheating Turret Missile Launcher - attachment nodes seem to be 180 deg. offset. When attaching Harpoon I would always have to rotate Turret Missile Launcher - slaving turret to FLIR is 180 deg offset Let me know if you would like screenshots for anything.

SpannerMonkey(smce) Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Update Version 0.94.09.7 09/0716 update Rectify issues with attachment nodes on missiles rebuild missile launcher with correct nodes Harpoon missile tuning Minor texture changes Sadly no fix yet for the action group firing of missiles, digging around in BDA source for a clue. RE, slaving of missile turrets to IR/Cam, I have completely rebuilt the missile turret and it now correctly slaves to target, A note however, there will be issues if the missile turret is mounted close to sea or ground level. The issue being that the missiles are likely to crash into the sea before they can get up to speed, there is a pre determined flight path the missile follows, to get a guaranteed launch from a low mounted turret I would have to ignite the engine sooner and this (in my tests,)has led to heat damage to launcher. There are no such issues when manually fired however, as the natural upward pitch of the turret is such that no problem occurs, the missiles are GPS guided and will track to target even if the turret is pointed another direction Ripple firing of the RGM launchers, there is a little glitch, In ripple fire mode, If you have multiple turrets, especially a combination of the fixed and turreted variety the switch from one turret that has fire all it's missiles to the next ready turret can, in some circumstances beat the deploy animation and at worst ignite the missile booster before the door has opened (does that make sense? cant tell, feelin ughh) Edited July 9, 2016 by SpannerMonkey(smce) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomker Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Thanks for the update , your unofficial bug tester is back I just noticed an odd issue with the GD_XM301 Gatling Gun - I't says it s .50 Cal however only a few shots will destroy the Tower, VAB and Hangar. Seems a bit over powered, is that by design ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi. it was a request item and built to a specific spec, so it may be a tad overpowered. just rechecked the numbers and yes it is overpowered I'll be turning that down a bit in next update. I remember a time on this forum when it wouldn't take nearly 3 weeks to get feedback like that (more like 3 hrs) , thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomker Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 @SpannerMonkey(smce) Started my boat building again and was looking for any weapons bugs The SolidState Anti-missle turret is showing up in the "Modules" section 2 times. One option brings up a "FLIR" window , which hijacks the current FLIR if enabled, the other brings up a Radar window. Screen shot here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, that's the way it was put together, I wanted to be able to use both, as if and when the ecm works correctly radar will fail while the flir can still lock on, annoyingly the window issue that is a limitation of BDA you cant have Flir and Radar displayed at the same time for one turret. If you want to alter it just remove the MODULE { name = ModuleTargetingCamera cameraTransformName = camTransform eyeHolderTransformName = eyeHolderTransform zoomFOVs = 40,15,3,1 gimbalLimit = 45 } part from the cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomker Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 @SpannerMonkey(smce) Sounds good, I can see how that would work in real world. I suggest this may be an enhancement request for BDArmory in that you could put a descriptive name of the module function. i.e. in the module window it would says "SS Anti-Missile" Radar / Targeting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackeled Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 @SpannerMonkey(smce) Hey Spanner, I just need to clarify with you some stuff. Is the harpoon missile capable of radar and GPS guidance. as its only capable of GPS in game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, yes there is a descriptive blunder there, it has been both at one time but at present it's just GPS, as this is the mode i found most useful. I will update shortly . I'm pondering a way to make guidance switchable ( i foresee an increase in fun factor if i can make this happen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combatsmithen Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 This is pure insanity! My BD armory part list is so large that Its hard to find what I need!

UPDATE Version 0.92.30.4 30/04/16 update Added AGS 155 turret Added AGS type railgun turret Added dual 105 turret Added turret mounting plinth for AGS style guns Update This update adds 3 New turrets and two mounting plinths for the AGS turrets. Two turrets feature AGS angular style enclosures, and uses animations to fully retract and cover the guns when not in use, giving the turrets a very low radar return. These turrets are available in 155 and RailGun versions with fire animation and effects, For the AGS turrets I have created a pair of mounting plinths in the same angular shape. One full thickness and one half thickness allow for lateral mounting of 3 turrets without the forward turrets preventing the safe firing of the rearward turrets Also added a more conventional (though with sci fi leanings) styled dual 110mm turret, fairly standard fair except for it's very low profile Can you add 2 Fictional 88MM Guns, 1 with the M60A3 Patton's Turret and 1 with the Abrams's Turret, please. I will wait if you can't make it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my unreleased tank pack there's already a twin cannon turret so making another is no real issue, I've got to finalize some updates for other mods and this one before starting anything new but I'll put it on the request list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm i have to ask, why a single 88 it makes no sense? and on a M1 abrams turret It'll look like a toothpick, and wont look that much better on a Patton. While I'm quite prepared to venture into the realms fantasy i try to stay away from the ridiculous. The ww2 88's where designed in 1928 so way beyond old, delving into the ancient, a modern 75mm autocannon makes an 88 look like a paintball gun. This is why i presumed 2 per turret, even though all you'd do is chip twice as much paint. One of the joys of KSP is that cfg's are easy to edit, and BDAc doesn't care what you call the gun. So unless there's something I'm missing, sorry I certainly won't be attaching an 88 to an M1 any time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonnmillard Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 No, it's like that the 88MM is Modernized for Modern and Future Battles and Warfares... BTW, do NOT Forget the 88MM Gun with the M60 Patton Turret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
