Hello, after doing a few lko rescue missions, one of them seems to have used the malemute crew cabin, and the kerbal inside cannot EVA, is there a way I can stop the rescue missions from using the crew cabin?

To prevent this from happening in the future, I would recommend this little .dll file:

Basically, it only allows kerbals in rescue missions to spawn in certain pods that it has "green lit". Mostly this just means stock pods. I assume one could edit the file to add other parts as well, but I've never bothered. Regardless, it will prevent any more kerbals from spawning in vehicles without hatches.

I don't know if you are still trying to deal with this current kerbal in the crew cabin, but if you are, I would suggest using kas/kis to attach a docking port to the crew cabin, docking a rescue ship to it, then transferring the kerbal into the rescue ship.

I don't know if the suggestion has already been made, but a small node on the top of the Lab, Bay and Service Module would be really useful if not already present in 1.1.3 (i'm still in 1.1.2).

Right now, i have issues to fix it to a skycrane, as consequence of the absence of upper node.

Just fix the skycrane to one of the ends of the rover.

When it's landed, tip it over onto its wheels, and detach.

Driving up a 30 degree slope on Minmus. Low gravity is fun!

That is gorgeous! What are you using for Minmus textures, etc?

Proot's KSPRC mod compilation. Ya, the textures are quite amazing.

I really want this mod in my arsenal but can't get it to show up at all when I open up the game. I've tried the GameData folder, the Squad Plugins folder and have re-downloaded it many times. If its because there is a mod I already have that is causing the malamute parts to not show up, here is a list: Chatterer, KWRocketry, RoverScience, Docking Port Alignment, ForScience, HyperEdit, Inferno Robotics, KER, RCS build aid, Trajectories, Tweakscale and Station Science. If any of those could be preventing Malamute from working, please let me know. I am on a MacBook Air btw if that helps

[RoverDude]

Sounds like you are installing it wrong.  Show me a picture of your GameData folder and your UmbraSpaceIndustries folder.

Thank you so much RoverDude, really appreciate it.

Nothing should be put under squad\plugins. They should be directly under gamedata. 

Here is an old example of a gamedata that works

Really? Cause I've had it that way for a while. Man I'm a noob. Thanks!

Also where is USI Tools?  That's why you have no categories.  It needs to be in GameData as well.  Along with anything else I bundled with this (i.e. Firespitter, CRP, etc.)

The USI tools are in the GameData folder for the Malemute add-on just like I think it should be (This download was basically untouched except for the copy of the GamaData folder)

Not in your screenshot tho...

Probably got lucky. It won't generally cause problems with mods that don't have parts because it will find the .dll anywhere. But parts look for the exact path so changing the path in any way won't work.

@RoverDude

Is this what you wanted?

That might be why one of three mods I try to merge with the KSP folder never work.

Gotta unzip those and the copy the contents of gamedata fro the zip into your gamedata. 

[nascarlaser1]

does this require any other mods to work?

[RoverDude]

Just the stuff in the zip file

[maallaard]

I've restarted my game like 10 times and never saw anything

Until I saw the "Rovers" tab...

Thanks @goldenpsp & @RoverDude for the support. Can't thank you two enough.

[RoverDude]

You're welcome

You're welcome

And this is so far an amazing mod. Keep up the great work!

if I install this, will it install any other mods like LS from the zip folder?

Hi, its me again. I have notice a problem with the floodlights on the Malemute rover cab, their a bit off center.

Is there any way you could support JSI advanced transparent pods.

In 1.1.3 it does not seem to work with Malemute rover, but It does seem to work with Karibou, not sure why

EDIT:

IT DOES work with Malemute but for some reason drawing distance is much nearer than with Karibou.

Updated that it does work with Transparent Pods
