I'm kind of confused actually - we did discuss certain parts packs a lot but I didn't know any of it was applicable here. Oh well, if I was helpful then that's good!

The Vector engine seems to work good but has a couple issues.  The menu and the thrust particle effect.

Sometimes you'll supply a solution and never even realize it. That's the beauty of collaboration.

Your BDAnimation is out of date

Yeah, I helped design the early prototypes for 'pose balls' in Second Life and look how widely those are used. And in things people make money off of! Didn't see that coming...

I had two copies that were different versions, one in QuizTechAero and one in BahaSP.  I removed both and reinstalled 0.6.5.1 from the link in the OP.  Still having the same problem with that specific engine. 

[linuxgurugamer]

I just downloaded the latest BDAnimnation, I am NOT getting all those buttons in the editor.

I can't do anything right now about all the Gimbal messages in the window showing the engine info (from the parts list).

And I did see the thrust particle effect animation issue (strange).

Please post a log file so I can look at it.

[eberkain]

I will do some more experiments next time I get to have some kerbal time.

Check the log file, it will show you where the dll is running from.

Ideally, you should see something like this:

GameData\BahaSP\Plugins\BDAnimationModules.dll

The full line from my log is:

AssemblyLoader: Loading assembly at R:\KSP_1.3.1_dev\GameData\BahaSP\Plugins\BDAnimationModules.dll

I suspect you probably have another one somewhere you don't expect it to be.

The problem with the thrust animation is the result of converting some files to DDS format, I'm working on a fix now

[linuxgurugamer]

New release, 1.3.2

• Reverted TGA files for the Vector effects
• Moved curved RCS port into it's own

Ref the Critter Crawler, I reinstalled the newest ver of BDAnimationModules (from the link) and the newest KSPWheel... and I made this video:

https://youtu.be/7RNrKFy3Vzk

Is this how it's supposed to behave? I never saw the original in action.

@linuxgurugamer

I'm getting this exact same behavior.   https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FT2TA-T2f_FTcU5ZTV93agCSqoBxuMlk

EDIT:  HMMM, the log says my KSPWheel version is 0.0.0.0.   Its the one that was bundled with Kerbal Foundries...  Going to swap that out and try again. 

EDIT2:  That fixed it, critter crawler is crawling again.  And the update fixed the funky particle effect.

AWESOME! I had lost hope that the turret light would ever be available again! Thanks a lot! 

I have to ask, is there any chance to make it compatible with Tweak Scale? It's kinda huge for a 2 seat rover.

Did you try it with Tweakscalp?

Is that what my barber does!?

I'm guessing that's a typo for TweakScale, haha. Yes, I have TweakScale installed, but right-clicking the part doesn't show any menu at all.
 

 

 

 

Second thing:

There's a bug (I guess?) for the CritterCrawler that was present in the original version too, maybe you can take a look at it?

The bottom attachment point, below the engine, looks like it's reversed, whatever you attach goes inside, like a cargo hold internal attachment point.

I assume from the 1.3.0 that you are asking if this will work in 1.3.0.

I dont' know, it really depends on whether the dependencies will.  It won't hurt if you try it in a test install, be sure to download the latest versions of the KSPWheel and BDAnimation mods
