[Modded] Can't dock, begging for some help!

[Wastel]

Hello everyone!

I just installed Stock Part Revamp mod, because those textures are gorgeous. However, I seem to have an issue with docking ports.

I just can't dock,  I tried for something like 2 hours on the same save, trying to dock all over again and again, without any success. (I use DPAI mod to help me do very precise dockings).

I did the same dock on the same station with the same craft some days ago, without this mod, and I've been able to perform it 1st try, without even DPAI.

Here are screenshots of my setup :

On the last screenshot, you can see that my docking is quite precise (way enough to dock on stock), but here, it just slightly bounces. It just doesn't want to dock.

I specify that I've both tried with and without bumpers extracted.

I also tried on an other docking port (there are several on the station) :

And here is my Gamedata folder for mods list :

What's curious is that when I used to dock without the mod, there were like a magnetic attraction when the craft were very near the station, and this attraction would 'finish' the docking. This attraction doesn't seem to exist anymore since I've installed the mod.

Also, there seems to be two 'skins' of docking ports on the station, as you can see on the screenshot YiBBFgaL2g2gQci. Some look closed (up side), and one looks opened (down side). Both types have been tried though.

I also mention that I've done some tries in the VAB with the same station, and same docking ports, and i've been able to attach others docking ports on the spation's docking ports without any problem. I tried to uncouple them on the launching pad, and no problem.

Here is a link to my output_log :

I play on Windows 10 64 bits.

If anyone could help me where's the problem here and how to fix it, I would appreciate it 

Thanks!

Thank you for your answer. However, I didn't understand it. Would you please be more precise and explain to me what's a collidal box of surface mounted parts ?

In short, move that antenna away from the docking port.

In detail, every part has a collidal box. Think of it as the real size of the thingy. Due to reasons, the collidal box, or the resl size of the thingy, is larger than what we see. As a result, the game thinks something is in the way even if it looks like nothing is in the way.

I hope i explain well enough.

If this does not solve your problem, i really cannot help you.

Hope this helps.

Well, if you look closely at my other docking port try, there is no antenna whose collidal box would prevent the docking.

I can still try if you tell me if there's any way (with mod or not, whatever) to modify/remove parts of a craft while in space. I can try removing antenna and other parts of the craft and try again, to see if the issue comes frome collidal box.

Just 1 antenna is enough to screw things over.

Well, whack a kerbal. But quicksave before whacking a kerbal.

Used whack a kerbal to remove antenna, didn't help. I also edited my savegame to 'properly' remove the antenna, that didn't help either.

However, something REALLY weird happened to me.

So I was still trying to dock, trying more and more weird things (I was desperate).

But something really weird just happened. But before, you need to know how my craft is made. (not the station, the craft that pushes the fuel tank)

I have a probe that I manually put inside the fuel tank, just below the docking port. I had an option to 'undock' the fuel tank's docking port, which was weird because I didn't have this option on my space station's docking ports.

So ... In despair, I clicked on that undock button. The docking port and the probe inside both started to shake very strangely, like it was stuck on the fuel tank and tried to get away. My craft was moving toward the space station, perfectly placed for a dock. I said to myself "Will this excrements dock ? Seriously ?"

And I was right. After several bounces on the space station, the fuel tank's craft docked on the space station, and the probe which was inside the fuel tank just flew away...

 

Can anyone explain me this? Did the kraken troll me and have control of my crafts?

 

**EDIT** : I figured it out (with the very precious help of @Tyko, in https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/83696-122-stock-part-revamp-update-196-released-source-files/&page=161)

TL;DR : Collidal box made docking impossible.

Thank you all.
