TMasterson5 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Kerbal Search And Rescue This mod includes various parts to build a coast guard type ship or aircraft from. Im open to reasonable suggestions for new or different parts and seeing you guys' screenshots of the mod in work is always awesome! So go and perform the Coast Guard missions of your wildest Kerbal imaginations and enjoy the parts! NOTE: I DO NOT have any plans to include wings or rotors or propellers in this mod. I recommend you use the following mods for those parts: Spoiler Wings: B9 Procedural Wings Rotors: Kerbal Rotor Expansion Propellers: Kerbal Aircraft Expansion Thank you as always for your continued support and all around general awesomeness!

TheUnamusedFox Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 These are some nice parts, may give me enough of a reason to actual go out and recover my crews without the magical recover button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharpspoonful Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Really fun i might add. A couple of things: - Needs window lights - Nodes were a touch too deep on the hull sections. I had to tweak the hull placements to keep the parts from z-fighting. - Nodes for the drop tanks and landing gear on the Kuey frame would be nice. -being able to surface attach to the hull would be nice as well.

I have no idea how to do lights sadly or I would noted will adjust Also noted. I didn't add them at first for freedom of placement but that's an easy fix. You should be able to surface attach to pretty much any of the parts. Which part isn't it letting you? Also awesome screenshot man!

Considering its on the download page and common sense would say the most current version unless other wise stated...... 1. Window Lighting is done through emissive textures. You can find tutorials in the addon development subforum. 2. You can add nodes and keep surfaceAttach active. Food for thought. 3. I have more photos of each item on the ship (helo, skiff, winch set up for the akiffs) incase you'd like more out SPH/VAB shots . 4. Adding the version number of the mod and what version of the game helps cut down on install questions cluttering the thread. Especially as the mod get pushed down the thread list. It's also a good idea to embed the imgur album into the OP. Edited July 26, 2016 by sharpspoonful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did know that I just didn't think people would want attach nodes but I'm happy to add them for sure. Doesn't take long 3. I mean I'm not gonna turn down more pictures....... 4. Yeah I tried that. It wasn't working for me. Kept getting Imgur album link errors for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NecroBones Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Looking good. Are you making the parts in Blender? If so, I'd recommend adding an "edge split" to all of the parts. Something strange is going on with the normals on several of those parts, and that's often a side-effect of smoothing without adding any sharp edges, either manually or via edge split. BTW, congrats, Kottabos covered this mod today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, congrats, Kottabos covered this mod today! I just saw that actually! Very grateful for the coverage of my mod. Also this is with edge split. it is because they are seperate pieces in blender in order to facilitate the colliders and the inside being open 33 minutes ago, USCG Phoenix said: Great mod, but the only thing is the Coast Guard never used Hueys. I am aware. I wasn't trying to copy the USCG, just provide parts for coast guard craft and honestly the Huey is an older model I us from Blue Hawk Industries that is just retextured for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still totally fix it by manually setting some sharp edges, or you can group-select polygons and hit "y" to detach them (which will allow them to have their normals calculated without influence from things that are facing other directions). It's all fixable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
