I noticed the following script in TankTypes

@TANKTYPE[Cryogenic]:NEEDS[WarpPlugin|KolonyTools|Karbonite|NearFuturePropulsion|CryoEngines|zzz_CryoTanks|FFT]
{ @PossibleResources ^= :$: LqdHydrogen 2;: } //USI uses ~4, CryoTanks ~2, KSPIE and IFS use ~1.2; but the density in CommonResources.cfg is for 1u/L

Seems to me the justification is mistaken as CryoTanks currently appears to use a 1.5 volume multiplier and KSPIE/IFS currently uses 1 (but I'm considering to rais it to 1.5 as well)

So where did the 2x volume multiplier come from?

This comment was made ~3yrs ago:

https://github.com/allista/ConfigurableContainers/commit/7db0aa83c278a6388220553980b205f70dd030b4

so it was probably true then 

And the 2x multiplier was an arbitrary compromise between the mentioned values.

If everyone will agree on some value I'll be glad follow; but until then I prefer to leave things as is.

I guess that could have been true yes. I prefer we get all to a compromise as well and since Nertea Cryo tanks simply is the most used Fuel tank that uses LqdHydrogen,  I'm keen to following Nertea proposal of a 1.5 volume multiplier . At least least that way, LqdHydrogen still feels like the super low dense liquid it realy is.

Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for looking into that symmetry/cloning bug.  The version on CKAN still has it, but your versions in the thread seem to have done away with it!

Thanks for letting me know, I'll check if ckan gets the updates.

Though the big is fixed in a version for KSP-1.7, so if you're using 1.6 ckan won't let you get it. 

[cjones]

oh maybe that's why.  I'm still on 1.6.1 as I started a game months ago and am loathe to mess it up by upgrading.

How would i go about making a patch for this tank right here?

Want to use this mod to allow it to contain mono propellant.

Look at the existing patches that CC provides. Here are the patches for the stock tanks, for example:

https://github.com/allista/ConfigurableContainers/blob/master/GameData/ConfigurableContainers/Parts/Squad_Patch.cfg

The "hardest" thing is to calculate the total volume. For that you need to look at the resources your tank holds by default and search for them here:

https://github.com/allista/ConfigurableContainers/blob/master/GameData/ConfigurableContainers/TankTypes.cfg

Then calculate as follows:

Total volume = sum(resource_i/its_units_per_L/1000)

would there be away to make a mm patch wich adopts to your mods installed and patches them to have CC funktionality?

because you would need to make like all the patches XD

(posted because restock/restock+ dont have a patch, and many more wich use normaly)

There was a try to make such a patch and the result was posted in this thread some time ago. But I didn't adopt it, because 1) to work correctly it needs some math which is not-trivial to implement in a patch, and 2) wild conversion of parts from other mods is not something one would normally do, because it tends to step on other peoples' toes.

It's always best to just post here names of mods which you want patches for, and I'll do the rest.

I know kung-fu (c)

Made a python library to read/write ConfigNodes from KSP and use it to auto-generate patches for all parts from a mod that fit certain criteria

That...is freaking awesome! And I thought 001's TU patch script was cool

If you're interested:

https://github.com/allista/PyKSPutils

There are several scripts to automate release management, and two scripts to grep/search part configs for certain things.

And this is the patch-maker script that uses it:

Much appricated!! I love small tools like this!! I didnt even know something like this even existed

Hi @allista and thanks for all your mods!

 

Just a quick CKAN question: versions 2.4.5.1 and above are listed as compatible with KSP 1.7.2 only (not 1.7.1 or 1.7.0), is this real or will they work in 1.7.1?

 

Cheers.

Oh, totally thanks for this one for compatibility. This is a great pack of parts.

Hm... That's because both CC and GC netkan definitions use spacedock reported KSP version as compatible; while Hangar and TCA use AVC files.

In any case, all four mods are compatible with 1.6.1 though to 1.7.2

Hi @allista I have a quick question about compatibility with this mod.  I've been away from KSP for a while and last played shortly after the first version of this mod came out.  I tried it briefly but wanted to get into KSPI and this had a conflict with InterstellarFuelSwitch.  Fast forward some (many) years later and I'm starting to play KSP again.  I really want to use KSPI-E and I'm leaning towards using your Global Construction mod over EPL.  That said, ckan still lists this mod as conflicting with IntersetllarFuelSwitch, so I had assumed that it was still a no go for me.  But I just noticed you list KSPI-E on your compatible mods list in the first post here.  

In short, I'm confused.  I'm looking at ckan now and InterstellarFuelSwitch is still listed as a conflict, but that is also a requirement for KSPI-E.  Is this an error in the ckan metadata, or is there something else I'm missing here?
