How to offset surface attached parts without limit?

[Reusables]

Wow, I didn't expect that this could be very confusing... (I shouldn'the chose a question)

So I need to fix the cfg file, right?

It might be because of me binding the wheel controls to ijkl.

Yep just open the file on notepad and increase the value of VAB_FINE_OFFSET_THRESHOLD to 20, or more, might be useful with mods that remove the VAB and SPH for really big builds.

In short, it's likely that your settings.cfg comes from older versions where the VAB_FINE_OFFSET_THRESHOLD value stays its old default value. If you observe small values like 0.2 in your settings.cfg, then it's definitely the cause (at least explains why my L-shift only allows tiny increase in offset limit), and changing it to 20 (the current default value) should fix it. If you see big values in your settings.cfg, then it would be another problem.

It should have nothing to do with ijkl - should be independent settings.

Well then, it might be a bug in config system? I see.

Thanks, it works!

Left shift is also this, from the settings.cfg

Editor_fineTweak
{
    primary = LeftShift
    secondary = None
    group = 0
    modeMask = -1
    modeMaskSec = -1
}

It'd be interesting to see @5thHorseman's entry.

This isn't a bug in 1.2.2, and downgrading isn't the answer.

Mine looks exactly the same:

Editor_fineTweak
{
    primary = LeftShift
    secondary = None
    group = 0
    modeMask = -1
    modeMaskSec = -1
}

I see we all did troubleshooting while I slept today though so instead of telling you how I recreated your tests before reading the thread, I'll just read the thread

I will compare fresh install for 1.2.2 and  update from 1.1.3 to 1.2.2.

Can I report this as a bug if updated version has the wrong settings, or will it be intended behavior?

Nope, more like "we're not supposed to copy old settings.cfg to new version, if we do that because of laziness, we, not Squad, are responsible for the consequence" sort of thing.

I don't think that works. I use Editor Extensions like Val does.

Pure Vanilla stock, it offsets up to the edges of the hanger(which is smaller cause stock). I used Extensions a long time ago for the B9 HX parts, but since 1.2 i decided it is time to give up the habbit

Well I think that they should update the config settings if the value remained default, so in my point of view this is a bug. But yes, it depends.

(Programmatically one can't easily find if a file is copied from old file, or it just remained same in the old version. And mine was the latter case)

Or, the settings update may be prevented due to the change of settings (I changed key bindings). Then it really looks like a bug.. But this depends too.

Looks like the value changed between 1.1.3 and 1.0.0, so you guys are using rather old cfg's.
