So the new update has broken the procedural boosters:

Any suggestions?

Having same issue, but mine is placed correctly. Any Ideas for a quick fix?

KSP 1.4.3.2152
Procedural Parts v.1.3.14-1

Thanks

@Reknot If it is placed correctly, what is the issue then?

[Reknot]

@Tidal Stream Its not supposed to have a massive Red Bell Nozzle ,I guess? xD 
Besides, I'd like to see the issue fixed for others So, used his post. =) 

[PariahDog119]

oh no, it's supposed to be massive, I did that on purpose because I needed ALL THE THRUST

 

I have no idea why it's red, though

[Tidal Stream]

The nozzle gets red when its temperature rises. For some reason this animation is bugged and is always red. I am not a graphic designer so I am not sure how it works exactly. Also the SRB bells IRL are usually white. Try replacing SRBBell.mu and StretchySRBBell.dds. I don't know why the bell placement gets broken. While we are on the topic, can you test the 1.2.15 Beta with the SRB thrust fix? I will release it as stable and merge it in the KSP 1.4 branch if I get one more positive feedback for it (I try to be conservative with releases to not break stuff).

Update: Released the SRB thrust fix for 1.3 and 1.4.3 today. They are both indexed on CKAN (had to delete and recreate the beta version for CKAN to index it). It makes it easy to create fully solid ICBMs as I found out during testing today. Unfortunately most of them ended on solar escape trajectories even with 4000 kg ore payloads. Have fun with them and fly safe. O7

Is there any more texture packs kicking around for these? Freedomtrex seems to mess up staging when I use them.

[Antstar]

I can't find the procedural SRBs in the new tech tree in RP-0. The upgrades are there. I looked in all the early nodes and I looked in all the tabs in the VAB. But no SRBs. Any idea what's going on?

[Tidal Stream]

What is going on is that no one so far has figured out how to balance and cost them for RP-0, placing them in the correct nodes and them costing sensible amount of funds. If you want to do that, feel free to submit a patch (pull request) to the RP-0 GitHub repository.

I'm having a problem where there are no textures for the tops of tanks when attached to other parts. ie when there's a fairing adapter that can be seen through the texture for the top of the proc fuel tanks is not there. Is there a way to turn this off so that the top texture can be seen through parts that are not solid?

[Tidal Stream]

The texture of the tankbutts is Parts/ends.dds.

Yes, this file is there. The problem is not that it's not there, the problem is as I put in my first post.

[Tidal Stream]

Can you provide a screenshot? Optionally create a github issue with this description and screenshot because things can be hard to find in a long thread in the future when someone tries fixing these bugs.

I'm considering adding some different fuselage shapes to Procedural parts, oval cross-section instead of circular. Is this possible and is there any information on how it can be done?

[JPGSP]

I have some problems with the SRB which it dosent appear in the part list.

If it helps here are the files:

ksp log https://www.dropbox.com/s/i3txszizujq0fni/KSP.rar?dl=0

output_log  https://www.dropbox.com/s/v1a3pw4p2fqolog/output_log.rar?dl=0

PS: I play with RSS/RO and real fuels, hope that information helps.(I use ksp 1.3.1 and the version that CKAN shows of PP is 1.2.15)

I think you'd inherit from ProceduralAbstractShape and then override all of its abstract functions to generate the shapes you want:

I've looked at the code, it seems the way you add shapes is by varying the diameter of the circle across the length of the part. So it still has a circular cross section but with diameter of the circle varies. I want to change the shape of the cross section. The code to change that is in the part generation code, so I'd need to override that, and I'm not entirely sure how that will work.

Doing what I want seems to be a much bigger job than adding new shapes.

Hello and i am sorry for mi english. I am using USI Life Support and your mod for create tank with mulch, fertilizer, etc. Now, my problem: if i save mulch in a tank, Dry and Wet not changed in "cost", but yes changed in "Craft Stats".

First example without mulch (mantillo in spanish) Dry 866 — Wet  866

Spoiler

Now, with mulch Dry and Wet not change in "cost":

I not have problems with "fertilizer" and "supplies" and both are in spanish (fertilizante; suministros). it can't be a lenguage problem.

my english is so bad

[Antstar]

I just downloaded the latest 1.31 from github (1.2.15). I'm running RP-1 install but this is the only mod I updated. Everything is now +100kg. So, tiny tanks are 102kg. A 5kg antenna is 105kg. Since this was the only change I made, any chance it is from this mod??

[Tidal Stream]

@AntstarNo, this is a common RealismOverhaul KER issue. Remove the crew and you will not see the mass increase. This is just VAB/SPH problem, in-flight the mass is correct.

@OwariThis is USI problem, not ProceduralParts one.

@Citizen247You have to figure out the formula of the oval cross-section, then instead of the loop going around the circle, you will have a loop that picks the next point in the oval. For regular polygons you could choose n points, then every iteration of the loop you go along the sides and corners of it.

Owri, yo fui el que escribio la parte del mod para darle support a USI-LS. La contestacion de Tidal Stream es correcta. El costo es function de USI-LS.  Aun asi le dare un vistazo al file a ver si se me quedo algo. honestamente como normalmente juego en sand box no me fijo en el costo. -Rafael

Translation for English speakers. Owari, I wrote the CFG file for USI-LS compatibility. The answer given by tidal Stream is correct. Cost is a USI-LS function. I will however take a look at the file to check if I missed anything. Honestly haven't paid attention to cost, since I play sandbox mostly.-Rafael

Español: Sé que poca gente ha reportado esto, así que no te preocupes demasiado y no gastes tiempo en mí. El precio del mulch es irrelevante y puedo usar la consola para quitarme dinero. 

English: I know that not many users have reported this. Do not worry and do not spend time for me. In fact, the price of the mulch is irrelevant and I can use alt + f12 to remove money.

Recuerda que el mulch es un byproduct the los Kerbonautas, asi que si ellos estan abordo el costo es zero.

Remember mulch is a kerbonaut byproduct so if they are onboard mulch cost is zero.

I am getting a error when me launch a ship with procedural parts (xenon tanks, liquid tank, etc). The number of errors depend of the number of parts.

For some reason i only can get KSP.log and i cant find output.log. Edit: don't worry, was finded.

If you're on a Windows (recent version) computer, in recent KSP versions it's in your user profile directory, normally located here:
