Missing crew portraits

[linuxgurugamer]

I just noticed that some parts that I'm maintaining (command pods) don't show the crew portraits.  After looking into the cfg, the only thing I can see is that it doesn't have any sort of IVA (ie:  no INTERNAL node)

Is an internal node necessary for the crew portraits to show?  This is a problem because, although the part does have a hatch, I can't tell the kerbal to go EVA

Thanks

Without an INTERNAL config the game does not know where to put the kerbal and the camera that is shown for each portraits. You could use one of stock INTERNAL to get a dummy one.

That's what I thought.  Thanks

If you have a part with more seats than any stock part you can create a generic internal.cfg with lots of seats and a reference to a dummy model.

Not sure I've explained that correctly, take a look at how Roverdude deals with that. His generic internal, and a part that use it, the Orca from FTT.

I needed it for Quiztech, and realized that there already was one for the two person cockpit in the mod, but not the one, so I used the same one.  Seems to be working ok, but I'll look at that for future refreence

there was a mod once upon a time that if a part had no internal defined it gave it a generic black background for an internal so the crew would show up and be able to EVA etc.   I do not recall what this mod was called but I am searching for it again myself.

 

EDIT: found it...
