[1.8.1-1.12.x] Modular Launch Pads v2.6.1: Launch clamps evolved: Real-style launch bases and towers [03 July 2023]

Yep, just don't use the craft files that are broken.

I think I'm going to remove all the mod parts from the MLP craft files, and just leave the launch base and towers in a bare version, ready to attach the rocket it is named for. I have no desire to go through all those craft files to see what mods have breaking changes.

Probably will leave the Cormorant and SOCK (reDIRECT) files as is though, and maybe add a SOCK one with ORANGES-Photon-RMM.

Hey @AlphaMensae, I'm currently on version 2.3.1 of MLP.

Is there any way for me to get the newer (V 2.6) parts without depreciating the old general launch bases?

I have a few craft that need them and don't want their craft files being messed up.

The old general bases are still in v2.6, just hidden, so existing craft files will still load; they still have the same internal part names.

Gotcha, Thanks!

Hello, 

I've run into an issue where my FPS is slowing to a crawl/ the game is freezing for seconds at a time up until the point that I launch and release the clamps, then everything runs fine. The issue is worst with the Saturn MLP, but it seems to be happening to varying degrees with other Modular Launch Pads parts too. I've used this mod for years with a significantly inferior PC with no issues and recently upgraded computers. I did the install through CKAN and I removed all IVA related mods since I saw some discussion about issues earlier in the thread. Any idea what could be causing this?

You must have some other mod or mods causing that problem, as I don't have that issue even with a full RSS-RO-RP-1 install.

Thanks for the quick response. That's what I thought too, but I can't for the life of me think of anything that it could be. I'm probably going to start with a clean install and slowly add mods back in (unless something happens to jump out at you from my modlist). I'll say that I ran across one person a few pages back in this thread and a couple people on Reddit that seem to have been having the same issue so I'm pretty sure it's not just me. I'll report back if I find anything.

Update: It seems like Universal Storage II was the culprit. I did a clean install with an, almost, identical mod list and copied my save over. I still ran into the issue when I loaded the craft I was using with the MLP, but I tried something generic in sandbox with the Saturn MLP and it worked fine. So I went back to my save and loaded the craft and started removing moded parts. The craft had a Universal Storage service module and removing that fixed the issue. This was the first craft this career where I tried to use the Saturn MLP, but I looked at other craft I had used that had issues with other Modular Launch Pads and they all had Universal Storage parts. I've removed that mod and all seems good now.
