Whirligig Girl Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Squad should use the part model switching feature to keep the old stock parts as an option for the new ones, instead of removing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't remove them. They're still there and they're not entirely hidden either. They're still accessible under what I've come to call "advanced categories", for sandbox and any science/career save that has them unlocked.

They are just a gray outline. If you select them to use, they appear in the VAB OK. Fixed I also have the same problem, how have fixed you?

Warruk Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) Hello all, I noticed that the reentry effects cause my ship to become almost transparent, so that I can see the effects behind the capsule as well as in front. That shot earlier in the thread of the kerbal at Eve is basically what I'm seeing, just with a ship. Has anyone else noticed this, or know how to make that return to normal? Edit: Nevermind, I see in another thread that this is not just me. Edited March 11, 2018 by Warruk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they specifically say in the parts section of their update summary that the old parts are still there for continuity; at least for now... but will be phased out at a later time. I noticed that I turned off "Show Space Center Crew" and the Kerbals are gone, but the vehicles are still milling about? ...was there another button or checkbox for those that I just forgot about?

It might not be perfect (like if your symmetry for a mk1-2 pod uses radially mounted parts that go where the mk1-3 pod's hatch/ladder are) but it should be mostly good enough to update old craft files. perhaps even in such a way as to convert-and-copy when such a vessel is loaded in-game so that the player can just check over the converted craft without altering the original file.

It is kind of pointless if they end up removing the old parts. I've already got an MM patch that will re-enable the configs for the old parts, but if they remove the old parts instead, then you will have to reinstall the old parts as an entirely new mod. Maybe there's a case to be made for that. But I would be a lot happier if they just implemented the old parts into the model switcher for the new parts.

It's in the changelog. I've seen it myself too -which is why I've backed up the said parts, for whenever they go ahead with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenperforce Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Downloaded 1.4. Okay, let's see here. 2.5-m tanks have limited reskins. Nodes on the donut are changed, but we have two new radial-only balloon tanks. My old version of Tweakscale is broken but I'm sure a new version is out. Now if I can only remember how it installs... The new 2.5-m capsule is nice. The old one was way too heavy. New fairing color options are cool and all, but what's wrong with plain white? And I really wish we had the option for fairings to come apart without shredding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder what other little nuggets are unknown. I only found out recently that you can rename craft directly from the Tracking Station, including debris. (You select a vessel, or debris, from the list on the left, open the vessel info app button in the bottom right corner, and double-click the vessel title in the orange bar and a "Rename Vessel" dialog box will pop up. No clue how long this was available, but a Twitch streamer pointed it out to me in 1.3.1 a month ago) Edited March 11, 2018 by Raptor9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also I can turn off those damnable interstage nodes! How did I not know this? Okay, new Tweakscale is back up and running, and it works with the new reskinnable tanks. Unfortunately Tweakscale does not function on the new R-series tanks, and it is broken on the old Donut tank. That sucks. I really love those tanks, too. The collision box is fixed on the new donut tank, though! Collision boxes are correct on all the new decouplers and separators, too...so we've got Atlas! There's a new telescope part......

sevenperforce Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 The new telescope part requires active power generation, a large antenna, and a solar orbit. Not sure what it does beyond that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
