Ker-Plunk!

[InfiniteDice]

Tired of not getting a better dip in the waters of Kerbin? Tired of not having the FREEDOM to walk on things that are under the water? Sick and tired of not being able to look at things below the water? Totally fed-up with not having a sub water layer showing where the water ends and the sky begins?

Watch the Youtube Video!

Look no further... Ker-Plunk your KSP now!

Interesting. Very interesting. Not sure if I have a use for this in my current game, but i'll take it.

Thanks, yes it does have very limited usage

I can't remember if I have RoverDude's sub pack installed in this game or not, but if I do, that ups its use-ability. Really interested in how that large piece under the command pod had a float power setting allowing you to sink/float it. If I could add that function to a few parts to build underwater bases and junk that'd be great.

Haha yeah, that is the re-imagined boatparts code. My thought was to strip it down and release it with the oldest boatparts from the original pack. Even that would take work. Optionally I was thinking of releasing it as a small surface attach module that would set boatparts code up on any vessel. More testing of course would be needed before I decide either way.

That'd be cool, hope that works out, I'd download that straight away, and just a heads up, I played around with ker-plunk today, and think I found a bug. I'm uploading a video to youtube now showing what happens, and once that's done i'll post it here, along with the output log. basically my kerbals get stuck after walking under water, when they try and come back onto dry land.

@InfiniteDice In the video below, Bob get stuck in place after leaving the water, he can only move forward by hopping. I end up having to hop him back to the VTOL craft. Not sure what's causing this.

Mmm. Strange, I didn't notice that in old tests however some alterations to the code have been made so it's possible that in doing so could have introduced an issue. What other mods are you running at the same time?

I'll take a look at it before I hit the sheets tonight.

Looks like you were having a good time though! lol 

Thanks for the report.

A lot. I'm about to head to bed, will try and compile a list after work tomorrow. I'm running at least 65+ mods.

[InfiniteDice]

Don't bother... found the issue  

You'll likely have to still do one jump... but after that it should work fine. Checking a few more things then I'll likely rebuild and pack tomorrow morning.

 

[InfiniteDice]

Okay the updated file is now on Curse, might take a few mins to pass customs  

Walking out from the water might require 1 jump now, let me know how the exploration goes!

[InfiniteDice]

Another small update for this... I added an options.cfg in the /plugins directory, it allows you to disable the underwater layer and/or the fog effects. Also cleaned up a few things and fixed a bug.

New file is up on curse. - Could still be pending approval... Look for the June 23rd file.

I'm having issues with Kerplunk disabling my arrow keys once a vessel's hull reaches a certain depth in the water. This happens with surface ships, submarines, etc.. (And this is with the newest version, of the mod) As soon as the vessel reaches the depth that it disables my arrow keys, the view defaults to underwater looking up at the hull.
