vvaris Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Run into some unexpected problems: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2988574/screenshot0.png. Apparently KSP doesn't really mirror stuff but rather rotates them upside down. If you know how to do this better than creating two different parts for each wing please tell me. Under the wing there's a different colour texture than on top, this is why I want real mirroring. BTW in this picture you can see the SKINS tm system that lets create your own skin for your aircraft with minimal effort! (Its just a GIMP file you can edit but hey =P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpanic Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Apparently KSP doesn't really mirror stuff but rather rotates them upside down.I didn't know that but it doesn't surprise me. Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions :/Actually, I do have a suggestion: Use <a href="http://imgur.com/gallery/5YZLw">www.imgur.com</a> for screenshots. It easy, powerful and free.Texture problems aside, I'm really looking forward to the new parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvaris Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Updated to Modpack to v0.3 . Information updated to the first post. This version isn't compatible with crafts saved using previous version of this modpack(RedStar Modpack v0.2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zYnthethicz Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I tried to attach SU-1 Series Fuselage to the Kobra adapter, but the kobra adapter has no attachment node of any kind except the one that you can attach to the cockpit.So right now i'm forced to use the .craft file that come with the pack.Did you forget to put a node at the pack of the fuselage or is it anything wrong with my parts?

Edd Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Wait a minute, in the video at 0:32 seconds there are trees. Is this an add-on or an in-game feature. I have never seen trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_vager Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Edd, trees are a Terrain Scatter in the current 0.16 release, just turn on scatter from the graphics settings page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, yeah! Very good point! Forget to mention about that, as far as I understand there is no way currently to have the attach node have an 5 degree rotation, so at the moment we are limited to attaching the first fuselage part to the adapter using the surface snapping. The SU adapter is bit tricky and unique part at the moment because it "bends" the aircraft nose down to get that unique look I love. If somebody knows how to give the other node a 5 degree angle I would be gratefull. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuzung Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 What about setting the node rotation to whatever 5 degs in radians is? Dunno if it whould work but it shouldn't require manual rotation in the SPH then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreuzung Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 They're xpos, ypos, zpos, xrot, yrot, zrot, size or so.Size is the size of the sphere around it and needs to be left out for node_attach AFAIK.Sry, cannot try around for you, have to do 10 other configs already...

Kreuzung Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I did use size in KSP .16, you might've used a float number for it (like 1.0), it only accepts integers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xeranes Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Great job! This is quickly becoming my favorite spaceplane mod! Just one gripe, could the texture/lack thereof be improved? Perhaps even a normal map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvaris Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Great job! This is quickly becoming my favorite spaceplane mod! Just one gripe, could the texture/lack thereof be improved? Perhaps even a normal map? Most certainly, next update should include EES system, basically two different templates one for the wings and one for the fuselage which enables you to define your own top and bottom color and texture using Gimp or Photoshop. There will be preset templates for military, space and civil craft. There will also be a decals added to the wings and fuselage later on but probably not on the next update.There are a placeholder normal maps and specular maps applied to the fuselage and wing parts already, the effect is really subtle so you won't probably notice it, other possibility is that they aren't working for you. The game has huge amount of bloom so in the white parts the texture details are burned out. If you can take a close up of the fuselage or wings at noon I can conclude if the normal maps and specular maps are working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayjaytee Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Would you mind me asking if you could please put this on mediafire? google drive said something about 5gb of free downloads.... but if this keeps getting updates then it could eventually surpass that 5gbs free and then I'd be lost D: cheers for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railsmith Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 This might be going in completely the wrong direction, but have you considered an B-58-style crew capsule ejection? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_crew_capsule) That way, you could make the ejection seat behave like a normal command pod, allowing you to do a rocket ejection, then easily exit and re-enter the pod without worrying about the programming fiasco that could possibly arise from an open seat. *shrug* No matter what you do, I'll still enjoy this mod. It's fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostiken Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Since when did it become acceptable to not include screenshots? o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuzung Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 A 199 seconds video with probably 24 fps implies 4975 screenshots doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostiken Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 So he has a list of 'parts' that are included in the pack. Anyone with sense would have a series of screenshots showing off the parts in question.Instead I have a video which not only doesn't make it very clear as to what is a custom part and what isn't, but results in a MASSIVE waste of time - 199 seconds to watch a video, or 19.9 seconds to look at screeshots.Additionally, I get to listen to the author's brain-damaged idea of 'music' as the world's ****tiest dubstep spewed out of my speakers. I'm not going to watch that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comradephil Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Don't like the mod? Don't download it. There's no reason to just spew abuse at the creator, since he's creating something you can have for free.If you paid 300 euros or so and then complained about the video and lack of individual screenshots, then I'd understand.

Capt'n Skunky Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Frostiken, that attitude and language is unacceptable. If you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Cheers!Capt'n SkunkyKSP Community Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
