Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Spoiler

Q: Do you have plans to make any other warning lights, klaxons, light bars etc?

A: No, not really - this was a fun little proof-of-concept mod to show that you don't always need plugins for cool animated light behaviours

Q: I'm having trouble with a version of this add-on from a third-party "mod pack" or from a non-official download location - could you help me?

A: No support is provided for unofficially-distributed or "bootleg" versions of this add-on.

Q: Why isn't this indexed on CKAN / KSP-AVC?

A: Maintaining metadata for third-party mod version trackers and waiting weeks for approval is too much of a hassle.

 

Acknowledgements

- @taniwha and @RoverDude for helping me get ModuleAnimationGroup and ModuleResourceConverter (mostly) working for the initial prototype

- @nli2work for getting ModuleLight to work with looped animations in the second prototype

Hey just wanted to make a friendly note that this is still showing 1.2.1 on CKAN. Would love to give this a whirl. Gotta love lights.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll update the CKAN listing over the next few days.

V1.0.1 released - see first post for download link 

1.0.1 - 29 August 2018
---------------------------

Changes / Fixes:
 - Compatibility Patch for KSP 1.4.5
 - Reoriented strobe base model so that decorative label faces the right way in the VAB/SPH Parts List thumbnails
 - Localization support added
     - en-us included by default

A couple of things I'd like to mention:

  • From now on, none of my mods will officially support CKAN indexing. I wish the CKAN team well, but I found upkeep of the metadata to be far too much of a chore. I also do not plan to ever host my mods on SpaceDock, so I obviously cannot make use of its associated metadata versioning system to automate the indexing process.
  • I'm definitely keen on supporting more languages in my mods, so if you meet the following requirements, please send me a PM:
    • Native or very strong fluency in both English and whatever language(s) you wish to translate for
    • A real-life professional background in engineering or technical writing - please send me a link to your LinkedIn profile (Most of the part descriptions need to use technical rather than conversational language)
    • Able to translate jokes and tongue-in-cheek portions of part descriptions to fit the culture of the translated language (Some jokes work better in English than other languages, and vice-versa)

Very cool, looking forward to an update or will this work in 1.5.1 as is?

There's no plugins to recompile, it's just parts; as such, it should work just fine...

It does work fine, I've tried it. ;)

Yes, this mod works just fine in 1.5.x without any changes since 1.4.5. But for the sake of clarity, I've updated the thread title so that I don't need to publish a new null-change release for the sake of incrementing version numbers.

BTW, if you put these on the launch clamps, put a battery on there too. They will keep working even after you launch.

Or install Almost Free Launch Clamps, and you won't even need to fit batteries; the clamps are given built-in generators, you just have to remember to turn them on.

(It's all managed by MM patches, so it's working fine in 1.5.x)

Let's hear it for 1.7.2~ :S

Honestly, though -- I completely missed these, and will look forward to taking them out for a spin ASAP.

"taking them out for a spin ASAP." Good one!
The best thing about mods using only stock modules is that they don't get mucked up by most updates.
