Diche Bach Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Thanks man! Already expended my likes for the day When I get one built again, I'll see if it makes a bit more sense this time round, or if I have questions, I'll post some screenies here. Honestly when I found the mod, it was in a flurry of late night mod installing right after I started playing the game again, so I wasn't even sure it had a forum thread, and only discovered it is your mod and this thread today. Great stuff! Given that, as you say, it wasn't really meant to be part of the game, it works amazingly well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have a problem then, it shouldn't keep crashing, are you running KSP 1.1.3? are all your mods up to date? are you running 64bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing he asked me to do when i took over was go mad and make this mod all it can be. He was acutely aware that it was a blank canvas that he did not have the time or skill to fill in how he'd have liked. SO everybody wins, I get my ship mod, without needing to start from scratch, Laythe gets to see his baby grow (because no matter what i do, it will still at heart be the mod he created), and you rabble get some half decent ship parts to play with.

SpannerMonkey(smce) Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 And just because I can, having just staged my first TEN (the should flash red really) active ships fight, I deserve the right to display an irrelevant image, all fought until none remained, the last shot was from the bow gun of one of the below as it disappeared below the waves, I'm definitely setting it up again and catching it on video.

cavilier210 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Gonna try adding pics of a ship I've been working on for a little bit. It's a destroyer. It can currently carry a VTOL type craft, and is armed with 8 x AMRAAM, 8 x Hellfire, and 2 x 5"/38 Guns. http://imgur.com/a/cBKAR Edited September 10, 2016 by cavilier210 Finally figured out how to add an image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diche Bach Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 One question I do have that I'll stick in here: How do you "launch" the actual ships? Do they spawn on the runway or do you have to setup a "port" or something? I have several mods that add base building type stuff so keeping straight what does what is a bit challenging at the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several mods that add base building type stuff so keeping straight what does what is a bit challenging at the beginning. read the post above AND the one below I use both methods although I favour the first , but right now I've broken KK somehow(help) so right now I'm using vessel mover too. Notes on vessel mover. don't launch a heavy ship to the runway without lots of launch clamps, other wise you will destroy the runway and possibly the ship as well. Once launched, select vessel mover and select move vessel, the launch clamps will automatically detach. proceed to water, grin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diche Bach Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Very likeable stuff! Next reboot of the game I will definitely be taking a crack at some ships in Sandbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpannerMonkey(smce) Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 AH yes just read back a bit, things move fast in here so i forget where we are up to sometimes. SO i mentioned a few days ago that missiles launching from VLS tubes may cause an issue with the upcoming HullBreach Feature, as they are known to transfer heat to launchers Every missile I've tested has worked perfectly (and i have a large selection to choose from these days) and there have been no heating related issues , SO i think it's safe to say, forget i mentioned it, it's a non problem.

SpannerMonkey(smce) Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Ladies and Gentlemen, the latest Large Boat Parts Mod version is now available on SpaceDock AS you may be aware if you are a regular visitor that I have for this update made and reworked many parts. You will find, several new hull types. with new features. The carrier parts and lifts. New bridge parts. The custom hull and superstructure sections to take the MalFunc Weaponry MK41 Launchers. Funnels, and really so much it's all a bit of a blur. There are so many parts to this little update it should keep the creative juices flowing into the long dark nights.

XOC2008 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) @SpannerMonkey(smce): These are great additions! Now you need a hangar without a bottom that can go over the hull section with the elevator so you can raise/lower stuff from a deck hangar! And I need a mk 110 57mm gun.. and a bushmaster turret. I need a lot of things, actually. Haha Edited September 10, 2016 by XOC2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavilier210 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hey, i think I got a bug from the sinking plugin. I suddenly get a warning about destruction at a certain depth while I'm still on the surface, and suddenly my ship explodes. Is this the proper place for discussion of the plugin?

BF2_Pilot Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 On 2016/9/9 at 0:49 AM, SpannerMonkey(smce) said: Strangely 40 was a number that worked, two banks of 20 though it's actually 80 nodes as it will hold the Half length quad tubes also. so a double set of nodes, having done one at 40 I'm going to say thats the maximum size, as placing and naming all the nodes, and then entering them in all in a cfg is just absolutely thrilling. (over 90% of the 600 ish cfg lines are related to the mounting nodes alone) This is the first version and will likely make the update, although it's likely to be replaced soon after, converted from the round tube VLS, the dimensions are not perfect but perfectly serviceable, Don't scale it unless you want a major headache with the nodes, and placement of missiles. I robustly advise building one up and making it a sub assembly , as placing the tubes is something you don't want to have to do every time.

Spacedock sends me here. Hi, the sinking plugin is still an unreleased feature for LBP , so technically that which you have tested is not ready for general use with LBP or SMM. The balancing and the cfg are still very much in development and unless @gomker has sneaked ahead of where i am with the balancing then i doubt that you have anything other than outdated and incorrect patch details. I have opened an issue on gitub regarding the crushable contamination of other vessels that are afloat and undamaged as i have also noticed problems https://github.com/gomker/HullBreach/issues/7 3 hours ago, Drew Kerman said: No version bump?

In other news SMM will be switching over to just making the structural parts for this mod, so all the masts platforms, walkways and stairways will be available, so we can finally start putting some detail into our builds Spoiler SMM in LBP grey Edited September 11, 2016 by SpannerMonkey(smce) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
