Also, the changes in the latest BDArmory version causes the parts not to show up in the BDA category. The temporary solution is to revert to the previous version, until a permanent solution is established.

RELEASE 0.2.4

KSP 1.5 compatibility, added AIM-120C-5.

I am curious, why do you have this in your weapons?

author = BahamutoD

manufacturer = Bahamuto Dynamics

Aren't you the author, and shouldn't the Manufacturer KWS?

@dundun92

You have copied several models and textures from BDAc to your mod!?  I do not think it's proper to copy the actual models and textures... but I am unsure if it's a violation. I will ask about it.

Why do it anyway?

I use the BDAc models in my mod too, but I do not copy them into my mod...

Do it like this, it will make your mod MUCH smaller... you have to have BDAc installed for your mod to work anyway.

For example, in your "mk83Bomb" replace mesh = model.mu with:

MODEL
    {
        model = BDArmory/Parts/mk82Bomb/model
    }

If you do this for all the parts you have copied and modified, you can delete EVERYTHING except for the .cfg files.

@dundun92 I agree with TheKurgan you should avoid duplicating models and instead make a reference to BDArmory.

[TheKurgan]

@dundun92 So I have been informed that it isn't a violation at all, so all is good.

BUT

Like I sad above, because BDAc is already installed for your stuff to work, using the example I provided:

MODEL
    {
        model = BDArmory/Parts/mk82Bomb/model
    }

Would make your mod MUCH MUCH smaller, and this is good

And please edit your Author and Manufacturer. 

Cheers.

It's ok... no need to be sorry. It's technically not wrong, and it's perfectly legal... (as I found out)

BUT, doing it by linking to the models and such instead of including a copy of them in your mod, will make your mod very small... and this is always good

@dundun92 Oh I also wanted to mention that instead of using rescaleFactor to resize the weapon, in the model node, you can do this, and it will not mess with the weight:

MODEL
    {
        model = BDArmory/Parts/50CalTurret/model
        scale = 0.45, 0.45, 0.45
    } 
    rescaleFactor = 1

This is how I resized the 50cal turret with special ammo I just added to KTech.

special .50 cal bullets I hope gets added to BDAc
