I would love a 1.25m version of the Clamp Senior ... hate the look of joining parts with two regular clamp o trons

Me thinking: Oh, I actually made a small ModuleManager .cfg that gave me the 2.5m Sr docking port in a 1.25m format! Maybe I can make this guy happy! :D

Not really. In name only. Add the new mod, retire your ships, then delete the old mod. Or keep it around, they don't hurt each other. 

You'll get this in the next update, but I won't be bringing back the docking modules of ugly hideousness.

Me thinking: Oh my god, that looks so much better than what I did! D: well never mind then!

You could either wait for Nertea to finish up his glorious work, or toss what I wrote below into a textfile and save it in a new folder of your choosing in your gamedata folder (I named it dockingPortLargeMini.cfg). It copies the senior port and then modifies it to have the proper 1.25m size (both in appearance and node size/weight/etc). Cost and location in the tech tree are the same as the regular clamp o tron.

 

+PART[dockingPortLarge]
{
    @name = dockingPortLargeMini
    @author = SomeRandomGuyOnline
    @rescaleFactor = 0.5
    @node_stack_top = 0.0, 0.29, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1
    @node_stack_bottom = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1
    @TechRequired = specializedConstruction
    @entryCost = 6400
    @cost = 280
    @title = Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port Sr. Mini
    @description = Someone washed a Senior-sized docking port a bit too hot and decided they liked the outcome!
    @mass = 0.05
    @crashTolerance = 10
    @bulkheadProfiles = size1
    @MODULE[ModuleDockingNode]
    {
        @nodeType = size1
    }
}

 

ps: I'm not sure on the etiquette of commenting with home-made stuff in other people's threads, so please let me know if it's not appreciated. Also, as a non-modder, I began toying with modulemanager a few days back, so while I think I did it right, I might not have. All I know is: it works :p.

 

edit: or.. you could just use TweakScale.. just thought about that..

Yeah,  I must have missed that Tweakscale was updated to 1.4.1 ... for some reason I though it wasn't

Ok, update is nearly ready. I would like to ensure that any LS mod problems are fixed or at least recorded... so far in my fix list I only have

  • KerbalHealth patches apply only when KerbalHealth is installed
  • Better EPL resource compatibility for containers

Feel like there must be more?

Sorry..was going to take a pass on the USI mods but RL is in the way. Don't know when I can pick it up again.

I would like to contribute a part I menaged to successfully implent into KSP 1.4.1. since i found it hard to move the large aquacultural parts around Kerbin via plane i thaught why not making a small fish tank?

.. long story short, I borrowed the MysteryGoo mesh and wrote a config file to make a small science collector (alternately I could use the MysteryGoo tank for the second science experiment but I thaught it's better not to mix the goo with any fish).

so here's the PXL-SAST Small Aquaculture Study Tank (aka sspx-aquatank):

  • unlocks at basic science (with the stock materials bay)

I would love some feedback and hope for integration, thanks!

please add that too! thanks :)

No worries, I just had one really nasty RL month so I know the feeling

Sorry, but I'm not likely to add it. It would require a new model and I have specifically not scoped anything new here.

@Nertea There is a TAC LS problem I haven't been able to wrap my finger around. Except for one or two resources, all the available tank types shar a decal (Ore I think) and some decals can be just barely seen behind it. :/ 

I'll see if I have time to check this out soon.

so no temp usage of the mystery goo container copy mesh legit as temp solution?

The idea of this lil function just adds a lightweight science grabbing, it's hard to claim your brilliant new science's with the heavy parts and I wouldn't mind you exchange it later with another part.

If I would figure out how to use blender or re-texturing the mysteryGoo .. alternately we could add this science to the goo container too, but that might just make the career too easy, or?

Thanks for replying and your mod anyways.

It's more of a case of "I designed a part, and I put a throwaway science experiment on it" rather than "I designed a science experiment and made a part for it". The first shows I don't really have a desire for other versions, the second would have me wanting to make more of them.

I see, that's ok to me .. I can imagine you designed the experiments for every biome on purpose, right? If so, how you move that heavy parts?

I only wrote blurbs for planet/orbit level biomes.

The Aquatic Species Observation is collectable in every biome on Kerbin, that is why I wrote that lil config. Is this a bug and should just be collectable on any ground biome?

Yeah that's a bug for sure. I'll have to investigate that one.

Been using this mod since 1.1.3, and I love it, but it's sad to see the cupola in this current build doesn't have the protective shutters on it. Any change you will bring that back?

You may be confusing the edited cupola in SSPXr with the one from Ven's, since IIRC the original SSPE didn't have any shutters.

There needs to be a love button because  LIKE button is not enough for this post. 

Edit: 

That being said this is the second time I am saying this in two days but this is another mod that has gotten me excited about KSP again.I have been away for almost a year and the progress made on this mod is ASONISHING. I used this mod in what I know see was its infancy. It was a favorite over a year ago and I cannot wait to use it again. This is not a hurry up post but simply a I have alot of plans of this post. I cannot wait to add it to my new KSP save.
