So much potential with this mod! Intake and resource converting will make underwater exploration a great deal easier

Would it be possible to add reverse thrust capabilities as a module as well? Opposing engines and reverse-thrust capable engines are fun and incredibly useful, but right now to implement them with anything but the Goliath and Wheesley requires stealing their respective ModuleAnimateGeneric code. I've also had limited success adding the Firespitter FSswitchEngineThrustTransform to various engines, sticking a couple of modified SXT Kopo engines on anything is cheat mode. I'd love something that's more reliable and a little easier to standardize, most of the time it breaks the animations or fails to register the modules at all.

Thanks for the update!

Harvester and converter now work as intended. The MM-patch for IntakeATM does not. MM 3.0.6 shows an error during the loading screen and the log reveals:

[ERR 14:37:15.641] [ModuleManager] Error - pass specifier detected on an insert node (not a patch): GTI_Utilities/Resources/MM_IntakeAtm/RESOURCE_DEFINITION:FOR[GTI]

Remove the :FOR[GTI] and it works just fine.

Ok, will see if i can post one to you when i get back home. Stuck at work for 2 days... I kinda noticed on the last one i tried, the first mode had the visual animation(nozzle lights up effects), the second one had no sound or visual effects, then the 3rd mode had only sound but now visual. I kept reading your first post and i did notice it saying: for moduleEngines....and for moduleEnginesFX, but dont know the difference. Im sorry if i sound really dumb with what im referring to, im asically self taught on how to read this code. I grew up realizing i could tweak games by changing values but i was never formally taught. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will get back to you w an example when i get back on my pc.

I have an example where I have made a derivative of the Rapier engine with 4 modes.

   MODULE
   {
       name = ModuleSurfaceFX
       thrustProviderModuleIndex = 2
       fxMax = 0.6
       maxDistance = 30
       falloff = 1.6
       thrustTransformName = thrustTransform
   }
}

You will notice how most effect are duplicated (and can be different). This is important in order to get the effects working properly.

A long time ago I asked for help with the effect part, and got some help too. This might come in handy for you too, I think.

But you are still welcome to post you example problem, and I'll take a look.

I would like to make an engine with two variants, one with a large nozzle and one with a small nozzle. I can change the mass, cost, and appearance of the engine using B9 part switch. I can change the isp and thrust of the engine by selecting an appropriate gti multi mode engine mode. However, there is no way, currently, for me to unify these behaviors and enforce a certain B9 part variant for a certain engine module.

The B9 part switch code has public strings for the selected variant. Is it possible to make a modified gtimultimodeengine module that can read these strings and set the selected engine module accordingly, according to definitions in the part config file?

Sounds like possibly a filter or key would be need to be defined for some modules. Like...if X variant selected. Apply X multimodemodule. If Y is selected use Y module. Not sure tho.

Nice modules! But I still miss some PartModules like for RCS, which should enable the user to create a MultiModeRCS.

Great Mod Thanks,

However I can neither toggle the intakes nor the engines in action groups in the case of engines I don't even see the option

Are you running version 1.5+???

The mod is not updated for that.

@Warezcrawler

I'm releasing a mod to toggle gimbaling (among other things) on engines when they are not running. Currently it deals with ModuleEngines and ModuleEnginesFX. Do I need to do anything different for this?

@linuxgurugamer

Hard to say, but I would expect not. Most of these modules does something like the stock solution, so from the top of my head it should work if it works with rapiers in stock.

Recompiled for v1.8.1

coyotesfrontier · June 24, 2020

I'm attempting to add alternate modes to KerbalAtomics engines, and there's a persistent issue I'm running into. Essentially, after first starting up an engine, all possible modes are enabled at once, instead of just one:

Switching the mode fixes it, but it comes back if you disable and reenable the engine. I'm pretty sure it has to do with DeployableEngines, but I'm not entirely sure.

Interesting. It seems that DeployableEngines manipulated the engines, resulting in all the modes being activated. It seems that deployable engines manipulates the engines after my mod have initialized and disabled the engines that are not active.

It seems from the source code that deployable engines handles stock multimode enignes, but the ones from this mod.

From https://github.com/ChrisAdderley/DeployableEngines/blob/master/Source/DeployableEngines/ModuleMultiStateEngine.cs#L40

 multiController = this.GetComponent<MultiModeEngine>();

I first guess would be to get Deployable Engines to recognise the "GTI_MultiModeEngineFX". They are very similar, so I would expect it to be easy enough, when it already handles stock multi mode.

I'll try to contact @Nertea and see if he's able to add support.

I accept tested pull requests.

coyotesfrontier · June 26, 2020

Ah dang, I have no C# coding experience. There's no other way to add additional modes that I know of, other then possibly how RealismOverhaul does engine variants.

Based on feedback, I have created 3 engines as a showcase of this mod. It is best used with Smokescreen and IFS, and moduleManager is as for most mods a need to have.

Get the parts here

GTI-2020 "Icicle" Multi Electric Propulsion System
Based on the Stock Ion Engine

3 modes
Normal - compares to normal nuclear engine

High Velocity - is high efficiency mode at lower thrust, more heat and bad performance in atmospheric environments

Over Drive - boosted thrust, better performance in atmospheric environments, but much lower max ISP.

Credits to Nazari for effects from HotRockets which I use. These demand SmokeScreen to work.

Notice that only the Over Drive mode in the GTI-2020 "Icicle" Multi Electric Propulsion System produces any exhaust effects (with mokeScreen installed) currently. I guess something got broken in the config

@Warezcrawler Notice

Is now also compatible with GTI MultiModeEngineFX:

Edited July 11, 2020 by FreeThinker

Warezcrawler · July 17, 2021

Now that KSP has finally reach the end of endless updating, it is time to ensure compatibility with the lastest version of KSP.

However, I haven't upgraded yet, as I am in the middle of a playthrough and updating mods is a mayor task.

So my question is, is the latest version of my mod (this thread) compatible with latest ksp (1.12.1), or do I need to update it as it is?

Regards

[1.9.*] GTIndustries (Updated 04-02-2020)
