TiktaalikDreaming Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 2 minutes ago, Shadowmage said: Yeah, I'm not sure that I could add colliders that wouldn't interfere with either the suspension mechanics or collision response. The real question would be -- does a 'trigger' collider also trigger other 'trigger' colliders? Or is it only physicsCollider->triggerCollider interactions? (more of a rhetorical question / request for information, likely only a few on the forums would be able to answer that). The trigger colliders are basically removed from normal physics interactions and they can overlap with different types of triggers. They basically exist only for code checking that type of trigger. So I'd say it would be safe to add a trigger collider. Except if you're talking linking said trigger collider to things there's already programming links to, like wheel colliders. God knows what would happen with wheel colliders mixed in with ksp wheel. I suspect doom. Doooooommm!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Nebula Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I keep having a problem were my vehicles jump around with any of the wheels and treds. Any idea if I'm missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if I'm missing something? I would need more information to even know where to start investigating. Logs, screenshots, vids, craft files. There is a number of things that could interfere with the physics simulation, both known and unknown. Figuring out precisely what it is will require more details.

Phoenix Nebula Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Okay so I got the wheel problem sorted out. Though I'm now having trouble with the repulsiors. Also some tank treads veer to the right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOmTtMWyxNw&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels veering to the right -- this can be caused by (a combination of) 1.) slight misalignment of the parts in the editor, 2.) imprecision in Unitys physics engine, and 3.) a low-level code/physics integration error that I have not been able to track down (issue ticket: https://github.com/shadowmage45/KSPWheel/issues/9 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Nebula Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'm not sure how i fixed the wheel problem, the problem was the same problem the repulsiors were having and some of them would cause the whole vehicle to jump around and send dust effects everywhere. I think it might have been a collision issue. As for the tank treds it wasn't misalignment because I used symmetry mode in the editor.

achroma Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Am i crazy or did the ALG used to have nesting tubes for further extension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I took over the mod/models, all I had to start with was some .mu model files and a couple of textures. Entirely new plugin = new feature set (the old code was so broken, I couldn't even use it for reference). I also have/had never used the old versions, so have no reference on what the original feature set was. However, I do believe that I added in a 'strut length' adjustment to the current versions, so perhaps the feature you are looking for is there but merely named differently?

achroma Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Naw i found em, just noticed how short they were! Went into the configs and lengthened the max travel aaaand the tubes were then floating mid-air So i went back to some older KSP versions and found that I was the crazy one! Might i add though, the longer they can be, the better. By the by, thank you for the immense effort that you must have put into resuscitating this mod. Its genuinely huge.

I was just about to fire up an older KSP and check because I wasn't sure, either! Thanks for doing that. Also echoing the thanks for KF adding these awesome gear back!

JonathanPerregaux Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I just started using this mod for the first time. It nicely fills in the parts gap for wheels and landing legs. Great job. One thing I'm noticing though is that the L-shaped legs start deployed on the launch pad, even though they are stowed in the VAB. If I press G they will stow themselves, but I have to do this every time. Is this a known bug or something I've somehow messed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

File a bug report on one of the repositories, that will ensure that it doesn't get forgotten about, and infinitely increases the likelihood of it getting fixed. 5 minutes ago, NomenNescio said: Have you considered adding the sounds and dust effects to the stock wheels? https://github.com/shadowmage45/KSPWheel/issues/24 Wouldn't be just dust/sounds (those are quite integrated into KSPWheel), but would be a complete overhaul/conversion of the stock parts to use KSPWheel. There is a patch set floating around somewhere that you can try if you want ( https://github.com/shadowmage45/KSPWheel/tree/master/GameDataDisabled/Patches/Stock ), but it hasn't been worked on in awhile, and I'm not sure if it was updated with either sound or dust.

I CAN CONFIRM this update breaks all three models of Repulsor on existing ships, preventing them from being loaded. It also removes Repulsors from the community tech tree. Currently I had to downgrade using the CKAN command line to version 2.0.2.7, because I am a cheesing slime who uses repulsors to delithobrake my poorly-designed planes and landers on rough terrain. I did not have to downgrade KSPWheel, only Kerbal Foundries, so I assume the issue lies there.

Are you using CTT (Community Tech Tree)? -- The only changes to repulsors were to 'fix' the CTT patch to use the proper part/module names. That change should not effect the stock tech-tree.

Ivy Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm using the CTT and couldn't find the repulsors, yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
