[KSP 1.10.1] Destruction Effects v1.12.0 (09/23/20)

[jrodriguez]

Hi all,

I have released a new version recompiled for KSP 1.4.2

https://github.com/jrodrigv/DestructionEffects/releases/tag/v1.8%2C0

[ZobrAA]

Hallelujah!

Update after testing. Mod is still bugged, after redocking and reinitializing autostrust it sets the perts on fire...

i found a small issue so I got this mod and I flew my bomber but as I dropped my bombs the plane caught fire and nothing blew up inside this happened using no decouplers  with them and using the rotary bomb rack from bd armory

[linuxgurugamer]

I finally traced an issue down to this mod.  No logs right now I was in the middle of stream when it happened.

I had a fairly long vessel as part of a space station I'm building.  When I launched it, it would start smoking from all the joints. Same thing happened which I jettisoned the fairing on the launch pad as a test.

Then, later in the evening, I had to go to the space center for some reason, and it started generating an endless series of NullRefs in the Update function

Sadly, I've had to remove this mod.

I did a little work on this.

Looks like the OnPartJointBreak is being called at times even when the joint isn't breaking.  No idea why

Hi @linuxgurugamer I have seen that behaviour in the past with some mods. If know the parts that are triggering the OnPartJointBreak event you can try to add them to this list PartIgnoreList :

https://github.com/jrodrigv/DestructionEffects/blob/master/Distribution/GameData/DestructionEffects/settings.cfg

I'll see, but for now, I don't really have the time.

Might be worthwhile to do some investigation to see if it's possible to detect a non-breaking OnPartJointBreak event.  Since I've run into this behaviour in other events, I'm not even going to begin to think about how to do that

What is the format of that PartIgnoreList?  I looked (since I know which part is the issue), but don't want to include parts which have similar names.

I'd also suggest a debug mode, to make it easier to id which parts are having the events

works for 1.4.3?

Any idea why I am getting this visual bug, I only noticed it when I upgraded from a 970 at 1920x1080 to a 1070ti at 3840x2160. Let me know what other information you need. It happens at any resolution.


EDIT: I apologize, even though I reinstalled it, I must have left my config, which had legacy effects turned on for some odd reason. It is fixed now. I am leaving this for anyone else who has my issue.

I think i have a problem. I have the ksp 1.3.1 and when I run the game my bd armory, aoa tech and some other mods stoped working.

Is this a bug or im doing something wrong?

Your English is ok. But not sure if you have a problem with mod or not

[TheDrakness]

I just saw that i didn't said what was the error.

When I run the game with the destruction effects in it other mods just don't work, like the bd armory and a few others.

I would need the KSP.log file that is inside the KSP folder for troubleshooting

How can I pass to you this file?

Hi all,

I just published a new version recompiled for KSP 1.5.1. Destroy safe!

sounds like a fun challenge

I've noticed two slight other-mod compatibility issues.

• When using Ferram Aerospace Research, it is possible to rip parts off of your craft through aerodynamic stress. When that happens, this mod doesn't add the flame/smoke effects to parts that it should, i.e. fuel tanks that get torn off. I'd guess that your mod only adds the effects when a specific "part break" function is called and FAR likely uses its own. I've never seen the code for either mod but I imagine it's not too hard to chuck in that extra call.
• There are some specialized launch clamps in the Bluedog Design Bureau mod which pipe fuel into the vessel, primarily to counter hydrogen boiloff. However, when those launch clamps are detached, Destruction Effects thinks that it's a part break and adds smoke/flame to the rocket where the clamps were. XD It's very funny, but also makes it really hard to see when I'm trying to clear the pad, and it's also massively unrealistic.  Possibly this could be taken care of by excluding launch clamps from the mod's part-check code?

In other news though, I really love this mod! Just wanted to bring these issues to your attention.  Take care!

@jrodriguez

I've submitted a PR which seems to fix the unnecessary effects.  Not sure if it fixes all of @IronDuke's problems, but it should at least fix the second

Thanks @linuxgurugamer . I will review it and do a new release

Between this, collision FX, and Kerbal Krash System, I never had as much fun failing at KSP. One can hope for the other two, but I'm glad this one is still working!

Is this working in 1.6.1?  Just wondering as playing with BDArmory is not nearly as much fun with smoke and boom

Seems to be working for me, but it looks like the auto-strut issue that was supposed to be fixed in v1.6 of this mod is back.

I have the same question.

@jrodriguez do you have an answer, please?
