[1.12.5] KrakenScience 1.0 [2020-01-15]

[Well]

Kraken Science 0.9 is online, this update is really just a fix for KSP 1.8, don't update if not needed.

I still have a problem in 1.8 for translucent part (Kraken specimen) look weird.

I release it anyway, for fix all texture, broken in 1.8.

KrakenScience 0.9 [2019-10-19]
-------------------------------

	- All texture converted to DDS DXT5 for KSP 1.8
	- Added some missings tags

 

[Well]

This is how translucent part are now in 1.8, i've planned to make a fix later because i don't have the time actually.

Also that could be a problem with KSP1.8

As long as it doesn't affect gameplay, it is fine I guess.

Everything work fine, that the only "visual" bug / artefact.

that why i've made the release for now.

I could try to fix that later, sorry for that.

Downloaded the mod for later, I think you have time to fix it before I decide to install mods on 1.8 since Squad might release a patch to fix nummerous bugs. I won't mod my new install before then.

Hi - thanks for updating this mod for 1.8! I don't know how the Snail engine snuck into this mod, but I really like it and want to use it! 

Are you aware of any issues with this engine and the Kerbal Engineer Redux staging/dV display in the VAB? In this screenshot you can see that KER has no idea what's going on, and amazingly, the built-in tools are getting it right. Just to be clear, there is a Snail attached to the probe core and then a decoupler, the monoprop tanks are also attached to the prob core. On the bottom both Snail engines are attached directly to the monoprop tank.

I fully realize this is likely a KER issue ... but since this is the only engine I have that does this to KER, I thought I'd just ask if there was something unexpected and/or special about this engine? I don't know enough about mods to spelunk into the cfgs so here I am hoping for any words of wisdom.

Thanks!

This engine is really simple, just a monoprop engine, pretty much the same config like the puff engine from stock. So i don't think i could do anything for you sorry. Probably KER or KSP problem.

I've seen the same artifact in other mods.  Would love to know if/when you fix it and what the reason is

But, I don't think it is specific to translucent. Where I've  seen it there aren't and translucent parts

Thanks! Knowing there's nothing unusual about its config helps narrow it down to KER, so I'll probably ask over there. Thanks again!

Translucent part are now fixed

[Stratickus]

Does anyone use this along side ReStock? A few of the Kraken Science Parts are missing textures and I'm 99% sure its due to ReStock's blacklist feature of stock models and textures.

I'm basically just looking for a Kraken Science whitelist if anyone has one already.

Cheers,

Weird. I just reinstalled it and its fine now. The only thing I can think of is I got Kraken Science via CKAN. I just downloaded the mod via this thread. All seems to be fine now. Thanks for the help.

I've request a black list for CKAN, my mod are not supposed to be here. I don't support CKAN, please download from my thread, generally Spacedock

[Gawdin]

That's a shame you don't support CKAN, that's the only reason I know of this mod in the first place, I (and I'm sure many others) avoid installing mods outside of CKAN due to ease of updating and version checking, dependencies, suggested mods, etc all being automated.

I've already talked about that, please accept why i do that.

Generally CKAN user don't really go on the forum, or just don't really read or follow the modder. I've also see too many bug or bad install due to CKAN, in this case i don't want to fix bug caused by something i can't do anything.

I make mod for my self but also for social interaction. I don't care to have many many download, i just love to see or know when people have fun with my mod.

If you like a mod, talk about it to other player, share screenshot... that the best way to support him, i don't need to be on a long list of unknown mod.

I hope my bad english don't break too much what i've wanted to said. Thanks

I do love your mod and have fun with it, and I may be one of the few that actually do go to the forum through CKAN just to make sure the mod is installed properly (being an experienced modder, I actually RTFM, and the last page or two of comments when relevant). Like I mentioned, I would have never known about the mod (nor you) if it weren't for CKAN. It is an adorable mod and has become a staple in my gameplay, even if at the beginning it is just the flag, which your flag is the one I use since discovering it (previously I was using ScanSat's flag). I'm glad I did happen to check the forum when I noticed it wasn't updated to 1.9.1 yet to know you pulled CKAN support.

As far as your English goes, aside from a couple missing words and minor grammar issues it is adequately understandable.

You've done great work and I hope you continue modding into KSP 2 when it comes out. I'll have to add this to my short list of mods/authors I do use that don't use CKAN (Scatter being the only other mod on that short list).

I've also been using this mod since, well, forever and really enjoy it. It was in this thread that I found out about another one of @Well's mods that doesn't show up on CKAN: 

 

[Shantaboy]

How early are the krakens on the tech tree? I wanna use them as monkeys before the Kerbals fly. 

[Well]

Don't have noticed any bug in 1.10

Thanks for letting us play along with your mod @Well. It's been fun - maybe not for Bob though...
