I have created a fresh new Topic to maintain BDAc continuity.  For any past forum posts please refer to the Old BDAcTopic here:

The old BDAc Forum Topic has been locked by the topic owner.

Please note that Physics Range Extender and Module Manager are required dependencies for BD Armory Continued

Also be advised that using the World Stabilizer mod will cause problems with PRE as it has it's own world stabilization code we refer to as Black Spell ... Only solution to this is to not use the World Stabilizer mod

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Importing craft that are armed into the new BDAc is going to mess with the weapons as the craft file that has been saved will have values in it that are no longer in BDAc as well as not having the new variables that are in BDAc

The current release of BDAc is a maintenance release, and only KSP compatibility updates will be performed going forward.  The Mod is NOT dead, though, as others have taken the reigns of keeping BDA alive and well.  with that said:

Please Check out the New BDA+

NOTE.  BDA for Runway Project (now BDA+) is a separate fork by Brett Ryland and others. 

New forum Post for BDA+ is here:  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TL;DR - DO NOT IMPORT OLDER CRAFT WITH WEAPONS ON THEM FROM VERSIONS OF BDAc PRIOR TO THE ONE YOU ARE INSTALLING ..... REMOVE ALL BDAc AND BDAc ADDON PARTS AND THEN IMPORT YOUR CRAFT

See spoilers below for release notes, videos, Github issues and download links

The BDAc family of mods were all created by @BahamutoD, and in his absence, we have taken it upon ourselves to keep the explosions flowing

For anything related to BDAc or mods in the BDAc family, I refer you to the Github link for Papa Joe's Soup (Slightly Over Used Parts) where there is listed download links for the mods in question ... If you have questions or concerns, feel free to post here and the team will do our best to assist you

I also refer you to our in game KSPedia where you will find a wealth of information on the operation of BDAc

Be aware that forcing opengl will result in many shaders showing as pink ... the only solution is DO NOT force opengl

If you think you have come across a gremlin or a bug with BDAc or any of the mods we maintain, feel free to post here, however we ask that you also take a look at the issues list on Github to see if your problem has been addressed. We use the built in Github issues tracker to keep record of bugs, enhancements and feature requests as it is difficult to keep track of bug reports and all the great ideas that the community have come up with on the forum (things can get buried and lost under newer posts)

Please note that only the most recent version of BDAc is supported at this time and that BDA needs PhysicsRangeExtender to work properly: https://github.com/jrodrigv/PhysicsRangeExtender/releases

Also, to correctly install BDAc, first download the latest release from the BDAc releases link posted below (not the source download) and then extract the BDArmory folder contained within the zip file and place it into your KSP/Gamedata folder ... Do not, I repeat, do not place the Gamedata folder contained within the BDAc zip into your Gamedata folder as this will cause umpteen million conflicts to arise as the BahaTurret pickle looks for textures, configs and whatnot in specific places

In regards to CKAN ... It is our policy not to provide support for CKAN as we have no control over the process beyond listing when deploying to SpaceDock. If you are having issues with CKAN we request that you take it up with CKAN, otherwise follow the clear instructions posted above and if your issue continues then feel free to ask the team for assistance

In regards to support, KSP.log please  (Found in the same directory as the KSP executable ... this file is overwritten each time you start KSP ... upload this file to a filesharing site such as dropbox and post the link so the team can take a look) ... I also refer you to the following thread where it describes in detail everything else that is required for us to help you:

Best Regards,
The BDAc Team

Greetings all. A quick query.

 

A while ago, I remember this mod having an issue with the HEKV missiles. I was just wondering whether the HEKVs are currently working, or if anyone has any specific recommendations with them. I'm running myself a little bit of a storyline in my main game, and a missile strike (combined with the railguns and some Gatling guns set as CIWS/PDS would work rather well.

 

Many thanks,

Since the newest version of bdac shows that the HEKV is no longer broken, I assume yes.

Would  require more testing though. I have not used it for some time.

The HE-KV-1 works... BUT it only works reliably in a vacuum... it does not work well in the atmosphere, this is the way it was designed, and it is intentional.

You need a powerful radar to lock targets at it's range limits, which is about 100km.

Although the missile works ok in low orbit, it works best in high orbit, or above 250km.

No, it does not require further testing. Please stop.

Perfect. Many thanks for that. Most conflict will be above the 300km mark in any case.

 

On that topic, where did you obtain the PTMK4FX radar from? Seems perfect for these purposes.

If you look again, the PTMK4FX is actually a weapon :)

It stands for Photon Torpedo MK IV  The FX was a variant for testing the exhaust effects :)

The radar I use comes from my mod KTech, the link is in my sig

and the Photon Torpedoes are in KTech too.

I just thought of something:

Would custom detonation distances on missiles (Especially ones that are set to detonate closer to a target) be more likely to explode the missile upon firing?

That would explain my issues with them since I usually set my detonation distances to 7 or 8 in order to up the odds of the missile doing damage, but it may inadvertently be causing them to explode almost immediately upon firing them in certain positions.

I just got KSP on Steam and I'm trying to get the BD armory mod working. I tried everything I could think of. I have Module manager installed, went to YouTube got the Physics Extender thing. 

The problem is that even though I see Module Manager and the parts for BD armory in the loading screen, I don't see the tabs showing the weapons. only the Weapons Manager tab that allows you to control them when attached.

Can someone help me on this? Am I making a mistake somewhere? Please inform me if I need to add more info.

Thanks in Advance

I would PM you about this Papa Jones, but i dont have access to PMs on this account yet.

I've started making some more realistically ranged radars for use with my procedural missiles i've built in FAR, specifically an AN/APG-71 is what i'm working on right now, but i can't figure out how to extend the range of the radar window that you open up in flight past 100km so my radars can be used to their fullest extent. Could you help me with this?

Hi @Isenderen what do you mean with be updated? At the moment it works fine with the latest KSP version.

Expand  

Sorry, i guess i should've worded that better. I was meaning more of will it be maintained in the future if it does break. Even with it working, it not receiving updates made me kinda worried that it might have been a short time jab at it just to see if something like that would work.
