SpannerMonkey(smce) Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Large Boat Parts Pack KSP 1.3 Localization and details LBP now shares a unified EN_US dictionary with all other SM mods , this dictionary comes in the form of a folder called SM_Industries, this is not an optional install, this folder must also be installed, before reporting part name and description autoloc errors check you have installed everything required ALL required parts are included in the update download DO NOT MERGE VERSION 3.9.0 WITH ANY PRE EXISTING COPIES OF LBP, FILE AND FOLDER STRUCTURE HAS CHANGED AND MERGING WITH EXISTING COPIES WILL BREAK THE MOD. ALSO NOT A BUG, SIMPLY DO NOT MERGE OR OVERWRITE There have been literally hundreds of small changes throughout the mod, while existing ships will be safe, it is likely that there will be module index errors shown for existing ships in the log. There was no way to avoid this as the backlog of problems was such that it needed serious attention. Alongside the massive localization effort , this update has been mainly to clean the mod up generally and remove it from appearing in the logs, aside from the no issue module index messages, there should be no interaction or logging from LBP other than that seen for any normal clean part. As always for best results use only in conjunction with KJR Edited August 21, 2017 by SpannerMonkey(smce) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruedii Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Could we get a civilian pack boat? (Science vessel style, and shipping vessel style.) It would work well for us non-millitary players, and for millitary players it will give them something to do escort missions with. Edited July 21, 2017 by Ruedii Moar info.

Until all the old models are replaced it's very unlikely that any new craft will be added to LBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you got a tugboat, an auxiliary vessel, etc. Nothing says they have to be military ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbal Gamer Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm making a battleship using this mod, and whenever I use vessel mover to put it in the water it's pieces go in different directions, it's fine in the air but onece it touches ground or water, BOOM! Could anyone give some tips, if it has to do with re-rooting the parts. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand HI, using autostrut is not recommended for parts this heavy,, We recommend that you use Kerbal Joint Reinforcement. Also when using vessel mover you can move height using the tab key between 4 positions, Also with vessel mover use the throttle keys to place the vessel in the water rather than dropping it.

Expand Not really, ( unless there is one i don't know about) As it's very subjective, what player X likes will probably not be the same as your taste. But really it's just a lot of practice, and looking at how the real things are/where stacked up. and as you get ones you like save them as sub assemblies, so you don't have to build another 30 part superstructure, every time you want a battleship.
