I have three unfinished models: baseball cap, captain's hat and flight cap & goggles. I'll finish those when I'm back to modding.

Nice, I found the props I saw in KIS new release. 

[Friznit]

Anyone having any joy with this?  I assume it's suffered adversely from the KIS update that changed the body mesh syntax.  I've tried editing the configs to match the new syntax but without success.

[SPEKTRE]

Hi @Friznit I've managed to make it work by following this guide here: https://github.com/ihsoft/KIS/wiki/Equippable-items-in-KIS-v1.15-and-higher

What I did was look the settings.cfg in KIS and switch the old entries for the new aliases in the "equipBoneName" in the Kerbal Hacks object's config.

Example: Put "aliasHead" (for example) in the "equipBoneName" line in Module section of the .cfg file of the object.

Hope it helps you

Hmmm, I followed that guide too and tried the same.  Still couldn't make it work.  I'll try some more.  Any chance you could share an example file please?  The one that would be particularly useful is the engineer holo tool.  That'd save me a speed trip to Jool with a just screwdriver in the cargo!

Sure, I'll be happy to share it

I believe we should check with @Enceos first, to see if this is not infringing the license. Or with some of the forum moderators.

[Friznit]

Fair call, though sharing a config example doesn't hurt as long as nothing is released publicly.  On the other hand, if I/we can fix it up, I'm sure Enceos would be happy to have the updated configs for his next release.

[Enceos]

@Friznit @SPEKTRE I actually got a fixed config from the KIS maintainer, but never got around to test and post it. Would you guys please test this one out on new Kerbals?

On it like sonic.  

[Xurkitree]

But the question is ... is it going to have an infinity gauntlet

[Friznit]

 

Works a treat in 1.5.1 still.  Not tested in the latest version of KSP.  I'll do that now.

Edit: tested in latest KSP - all works fine.  Jeb seems to be able to use the Engineering tool to do engineering things though - maybe that's cos I'm testing in sandbox mode?

[Friznit]

Really shouldn't let Jeb use that Engineering tool.  He's not safe with it.  Thankfully he can only do this when he's playing in his sandbox.  Serious career Jeb is serious.

Many thanks Enceos!

@Friznit Thank you very much for checking it out.

Can also confirm it works properly in 1.6.1...

I'll be testing the helmet interior lights on the MH suits tomorrow.

 

Any chance of getting a tinted helmet visor, instead of just the sunglasses? Don't get me wrong, the shades are awesome (Bill certainly loves 'em), but it just feels a little... off... when doing orbital EVA while wearing sunglasses.

Slick!

Visors/tinting are more of a texture replacer/suit pack type of deal.

[MaverickSawyer]

I'm thinking more of something that I can toggle as I cross the terminator, though.

[MaverickSawyer]

Aaaand field test of the MH suits with the helmet lights is... less promising.

They're kinda clipping through the helmet.

Well, considering how well they *do* work with the unanticipated new helmet design, i think it's a pretty good win for this parts pack. Will gladly put them back in my current game  

[Nivee~]

Will it be alright if I make a few models for you to include in the mod pack? I want to be of help, if you wish it to be...

@Nivee~ -- of course, yes!   What do you want to make?

Well, I was thinking Infinity Gauntlet

Seriously speaking, I will make anything that you want me to. Consider me an apprentice

Sorry to repeat myself, but here is a link to my old post to give some ideas (look also at replies below so you are aware of limitations)

[zer0Kerbal]

SO: working selfie stick (takes and stores kerbal EVA selfies like screenshots)

KerbalCam - attach to Kerbal to livestream. :p

[fatcargo]

... Wold totaly work for some live action shots, go-pro-style. Parachutes, breaking sound barrier on sub-orbital trajectory, riding a rocket, bathing in flames of launched rocket, exiting cockpit in flight...
