[WIP] Kerbal Construction Workers and Scientists and SOLDIERS!

KERBAL CONSTRUCTION WORKERS AND SCIENTISTS

  

 

THIS MOD WILL REQUIRE TEXTUREREPLACERREPLACED 

 

 

I searched far and wide to find a mod that would allow you to have the workers and scientists (Like you see in the VAB and the SPH), but make them usable int he game.  My aim is to fill a gap that people who like to role play or want to have someone other then an astronaut to drive a fuel truck to their ships, to have an alternative.  Since I could not find one, I decided to try my hand at creating one.  This is my first mod, so please don't judge to harshly.  I am open to constructive criticism , so please let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas.  

I did have to use the default Kerbal model, so i had to work around the helmet mount.  Since I could not get rid of it, I decided to try to make it look like a throat mic of sorts, cause that is all I could LITERALLY think of.  

If this does show some interest, it could be expanded to include things like soldier uniforms for those who like to have wars with BD armory, and maybe I will expand more into other KSC roles such as fueler uniforms, operations, etc, etc...

 

So all in all, do you guys think this is something worth putting more time into and releasing, or is it not worth the time?

 

Can't figure out how to post a pic, so here is the imjur album: My album for the Kerbal Construction Worker

 

 

I did take some creative freedom with this, in the game, the kerbal workers have yellow overalls with a white undershirt.  I opted for Yellow undershirt and jean overalls.

Good idea, they look great! I like the hi-viz sleeves.

just a note- the font in your post is almost impossible to read on an iPhone, you might want to change it.

Thanks for the heads up, i changed it, and maybe now my pic will show also

I don't see the point in making your own mod if you have found it's not possible to extract and use the non-collared Kerbal models. Unless I'm missing something everything else you've done can be made into just a texture pack for Texture Replacer Replaced

[Wonderbreadninja]

And that's kinda what i was thinking, but i believe its falls under the "something is better then nothing" category.  That's all this is, a texture pack using TRR.  But I think if I add soldier uniforms, it might make it more desirable.  One day I will learn unity/blender and make my own models.

Finished the scientist model ( I went with a clean room style, to make use of the head textures).  I think i will do some soldier skins before I start to release the first mod, for those who may want it.

Just finished the soldier texture.  Being an Army vet myself, I decided to start with the ACU pattern as that is what I wore.

Nice, I like it .... Feel free to use any of the camo textures in DCK

I was planning on doing a TRR patch for DCK camo sets but haven't gotten around to it yet

find this gem from : https://jeffmcdowalldesign.deviantart.com/art/Kerbal-Fighter-Pilot-with-helmet-407936842

That pilot suit would be AWESOME. I finally will be able to cry for Goose Kerman's death in a proper way.

[Wonderbreadninja]

As much as i would love to make that, the helmet would require modeling abilities beyond myself.  i could do the suit, but that's as far as I could take it.
