Two things are a must : No autostruts Kerbal Joint Reinforcement @SpannerMonkey(smce) and I have found that this should be stable now and we pretty much test every change in VM with LBP quite extensively.

Hmm... our test group has not reporting anything like this with LBP - can you run a test for me Create a clean copy of the game - No other mods Delete your MM Cache files and your PartDatabase.cfg Use the following mods Vessel Mover of course KJR HullBreach - There is some part rigidity code in here, I'd like to see if it has an effect, if it does it may need to be added to VM. Recreate a vessel from scratch This should limit any possible variables for testing. If all does work, remove HullBreach and test again.

UAL002 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Just like to chime in and add that I am excitedly awaiting a choose crew option, playing with this in career allows me to spawn badguy vessels with no cost but it seems to auto add pilots that reduce my rep when killed.

For clarification that is only recommended when dealing with VERY large vessels like the ones found in Large Boats etc... 1.2 Physics play havoc with the joints and they fly apart. //Edit The why on this is that when we are "moving" a vessel the game expects some forces to be applied. I tried to turn them off as much as I can however, we are still figuring out the new strutting / joints code and how to control it.

Okiedokie ... because the ships built with my mods Real Ships & WW2 Warships are not just very large and heavy, they have a high part count too. Worked perfectly in 1.0.5. Thanks for the effort guys!

Guest Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 @gomker Yep, the parts work with Hull Breach installed. I'm going to try without Hull Breach. Please stand by.... And the parts work without HullBreach. I guess something was broken the other time I used this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireheart318 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 There's a lot of confusion about if VM works in 1.2(.1) or not, does it or does it not? Links are massively appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Links are massively appreciated! Not sure where the confusion is coming from nor who is confused ... we haven't heard anything about any confusion VM works in KSP v1.2.1 ... QA tested it myself a while back before we released it The link to the latest version can be found here: Edit: Perhaps I should have mentioned to click on the Git repo link in order to find the lastest release Edited December 2, 2016 by DoctorDavinci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickman939 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Anyone else getting a problem where VM only spawns ships with (stock) on the end? (IE, no ships from the save) I keep getting this issue on one of my installs, whereas on another I don't have this problem. Not too much of an issue, just a bit of a hassle going back and forth with craft I make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxgurugamer Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Will file on Github: Take Command and Vessel Movers' Spawn Vessel function aren't playing nicely with each other REPLICATION STEPS Launch probe. Spawn vessel with command seat using VM and no kerbal is in the seat Place spawned craft on ground (still no kerbal) press escape and exit to space center click on craft missing kerbal and choose to fly it kerbal is in seat now Apparently, when VM spawns a craft like this, there will be a crewmember already in the protoModuleCrew of the part. This is wrong. Looking at the code, I see that you are adding crew to the vessel when spawning it, in this code: // Add the crew member if (part != null) { // Create the ProtoCrewMember ProtoCrewMember crewMember = HighLogic.CurrentGame.CrewRoster.GetNewKerbal(ProtoCrewMember.KerbalType.Crew); crewMember.gender = UnityEngine.Random.Range(0,100) > 50 ? ProtoCrewMember.Gender.Female : ProtoCrewMember.Gender.Male; //crewMember.trait = "Pilot"; // Add them to the part part.AddCrewmemberAt(crewMember, part.protoModuleCrew.Count); } This just doesn't make sense, could you at least make it optional?

Already addressed by the developers. That was there because of a specific Challenge. It doesn't make sense to spawn a vessel with a random kerbal in it. If you want a kerbal, then either write some code to allow the player to select which kerbal to insert, or launch the vessel from the VAB/SPH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, Baha added the spawning of crew for the BAD T, although it is needed for other competitions ... it was working up until the change was made to the interaction of kerbals with wheels by Squad (KSP 1.1.x) This may be related tothe 'BDAc weapons not affecting Kerbals' issue that we have been experiencing Anyways, I actually expect that a kerbal will be put in a spawned craft or else anyone hosting AI battle challenges and such would have to either load each craft then move it and repeat or manually board each craft in the competition ... I hope that a solution can be found since without these two mods playing nicely, many challenges that would be posted by the community will not get posted at all Edited December 27, 2016 by DoctorDavinci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd add a dialog which would allow the player to select which kerbal to spawn with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
