Benjamin Kerman Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Not ready to be reviewed on YouTube, still under heavy development Benjamin Kerman's Welding Supply Co. Is proud to present Ludicrous Propulsion Systems v.0.2.5.2 "Adding new throttleable hybrid engines and taller fuel tanks in all stock sizes since 4/11/17" DOWNLOAD REMOVED (This alpha release includes just the hybrid engines and an interstage plate) Description: Have you ever felt tired of having to stack two Rockomax Jumbo-64's on top of each other? Have you ever felt like you could use a set of longer 0.625m Liquid Fuel Tanks? Have you ever wanted THROTTLEABLE SOLID FUEL BOOSTERS??? Well, you are in luck! Ludicrous Propulsion Systems adds all of these things to your game, as well as radial-size adapting LFO engines! Hybrid SRBs, longer and even longer fuel tanks, and more, LPS is the only solution to high part count. Pics!!! Spoiler Searching Ability Hybrid engines run of Solid Fuel and Oxidizer Behaves like a liquid fuel, but has an insane thrust with low weight, like a SRB This mod is licensed under a MIT license. I have spent many hours working on the code, so I would appreciate it if you don't pass it off as your own work without at least mentioning me.

fourfa Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I read this post, I clicked on the link, and I still don't know what's included in this mod, what they look like, why I'd want them, etc etc... Some pics, some more details seems reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Kerman Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Done, and fixed. Should look better now, sorry for the lack of pics. School can get in the way sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Kerman Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Ok, I got some pics for the OP. Check them out! Also added disclaimer so people don't think I made the stock models and textures. Edited April 12, 2017 by Benjamin Kerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidhype Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Yea I'm pretty sure you can't redistribute and Squad assets, and I am positive you can not claim copyright. You could have just as easily have made this mod by simply added the propellant type, the resource and the gimbal module with a ModuleMananger file and released that one file as a mod instead. It would have accomplished exactly the same goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Kerman Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 @liquidhype: Yes, what this alpha version accomplishes could have been done with a MM patch. However, there are around 10 more parts that will be coming soon once I have the models made for them, including these hybrid engines. This release is mainly for bug reports to start filtering in telling me what I need to fix. I will add a planned futures section to the OP.

Benjamin Kerman Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 LPS v.0.2.0 is released! Changelog Spoiler 0.2.0: Added an interstage plate to prevent oxidizer from flowing into the hybrid engines. Placing the plate between the hybrid booster and any fuel tanks will prevent any unintended oxidizer flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technicalfool Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hi. Right now the mod is redistributing at least two stock textures and models. You can reference the game's stock assets in your part.cfg file using the MODEL node, but you can't redistribute the assets themselves. Once you remove any stock assets from the repro and releases zip, and modify your cfg files accordingly, the download link can return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartoffelkuchen Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 @Benjamin Kerman Please, please change your avatar. It's the sams on as @technicalfool uses and it actually is really confusing when I see that pic in the add on dev section. And if I remember correctly there's even a rule about using avatars from staff but well. Wanted to tell you earlier already but now it'sperfect since you posted just after eachother lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technicalfool Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I have submitted a proposed file change to the repository for the Runner 2.0 engine. This should remove the need to redistribute the BACC textures, and you should be able to use the changes as a template for other parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Kerman Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Ok, sorry! I merged the pull request, so I shouldn't be breaking any copyright laws anymore. Thanks for the heads up! Edit: @technicalfool should I remove the stock models from the rest of the cfgs also? Edit 2: I will remove them for now, and make a new release without them. Edit 3: Could you make another PR as I won't have access to a computer for 4 days (typing on mobile right now, also don't know exactly what you did ) Edit 4: Could you check over the PR that I did and make one for the Giant SRB? Hoping I did it right, but I would like to get a second opinion. Edited April 18, 2017 by Benjamin Kerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Kerman Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) @technicalfool Could you do one more for the structural plate? And check over the file paths and stuff for the RT-5 and 10? Edited April 18, 2017 by Benjamin Kerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to remove the old <0.22 archives in the releases section that still contain stock assets, but other than that it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
