Question about converting subassembies into new parts

adm-frb · March 4, 2020

Is it possible to convert subassembly files into new parts? If so, how? I've put an example at the bottom

I'm just curious, as I'd really like to try to keep my part count down and I'm aware that 'UbioWeldContinued' is not currently being maintained. It doesn't work in 1.8.1 (my current version of KSP) and probably quite a few previous versions either.

I don't think there are any other mods that can do this..

I'd love a converter, and would be willing to create one, but also don't know the first thing about doing this. If I was to do this, I'd need a [bleep] lot of help...

Example subassembly

Shadowmage · March 4, 2020

The quick answer is: It is not possible without custom scripting. You can't simply rename a file extension, nor is there any direct route to edit the subassembly to make it usable; entirely different file formats and layouts.

This was the whole reason that Ubiozor existed. It is also why it never functioned as well as it needed to -- the different formats are simply not compatible, and more importantly, the stock PartModules are not designed to be used in anything but the most basic of configurations.

I could write pages on the technical difficulties of the implementation. Heck, if you read through my post history, I have written pages on the subject. Its a mess, mostly due to the stock PartModules, their lack of support for complex part setups, and how 'unreplaceable' most of the modules are (e.g. they are hard-coded into various parts of the simulation and cannot be replaced by mod-added classes).

That was something I suspected... Dissapointing

Yes - it can be done, and many people do it.

Through manual welding or using UbioZur Welding

it is rather simple - take one part, add the MODULEs of others, and the MODELs and attachment nodes.

rather long, tedious process that this helps, along with NODEHELPER (another mod)

however, read the instructions and practice. It works but there are caveats. parts with VARIANTS don't weld (IIRC) and module manager 4+ doesn't allow it to work (need to use MM3)

it's all in the thread.

Good Luck!

some of my welding projects:

NOTE /YMMV/ as @Shadowmage said -

I used UBZ then had to manually edit and fix.

and the images below show VERY complicated parts. They took lots, and LOTS of time, trial and error to make.

The station arms consist of 3-5 separate sections and have aftermarket parts added.

as a follow up:

here is the part.cfg from a docking node, it's been a while since I looked at it - learned lots from it:

I should also add that @zer0Kerbal'z method does work, and actually works GREAT for parts that don't have any special functions or modules; e.g. simple fuel tanks or structural parts. As long as there are no PartModules in it, you can combine as many MODEL nodes in a part as you want, and add as many attach-nodes as you want.

Just don't try and weld (manually or otherwise) any parts that use PartModules that require a reference to a transform, animation, or material (90% of the PartModules), as those will fail to work properly due to stock PartModules not supporting multiple transforms/animations/materials and/or not providing any way to specify an 'index within array of duplicates' to work with a single transform when multiple are present. So no landing legs, no RCS thrusters, no engines, no solar panels, no wheels, no robotics, no docking ports, nothing with light/emissive animations, nothing with deployment animations, nothing with PartVariants, etc. The list of limitations is far longer than the list of stuff that will actually work....

and here are two examples (the demolitionDrones) I made for Orbital Utility Vehicle with LinuxGuruGamer

https://github.com/linuxgurugamer/OrbitalTug/tree/master/GameData/OrbitalTug/helper

:prograde:

what @Shadowmage said, with one caveat:

3 minutes ago, Shadowmage said:

light/emissive animations

I have found that (for example the above docking node) - I could turn on/off ALL the lights/emissives at once.

and you can usually include ONE animated part and only ONE. but caveat emptor.

see comment in signature about hammers....

first - I've never done a welded fairing. So I whacked this together. Never tried/tested. /YMMV/ 95% completed - you have to read the comments and adjust things through math, experimentation and some luck.

first - I've never done a welded fairing. So I whacked this together. Never tried/tested. /YMMV/ 95% completed - you have to read the comments and adjust things through math, experimentation and some luck.

Currently looking at something different. A module to add scorching to fairings like happens to the KV reentry modules when ablator is set to zero. I'm studying the squad configs for those pods

It does work - polishing it some, until then - this does work:

(yes, the fairing base is taller Bill, it's not a TARDIS)

I found the charring module just as you posted...

zer0Kerbal · March 4, 2020

update: (I will update here and leave the original PART.cfg alone as a guide)

the interstage nodes (and others) probably need to have +0.22 added to the Y position (not top/bottom)

I haven't tested outside of editor... trying now.

update: (I will update here and leave the original PART.cfg alone as a guide)

the interstage nodes (and others) probably need to have +0.22 added to the Y position (not top/bottom)

I haven't tested outside of editor... trying now.

I updated the config file. Everything works the way it should. It can now serve as an SAS Unit for the KV Reentry modules

Spoiler

Val, Karen and Annabelle testing the Bullet Descent Module on the test stand

Testing the fairing

Sunrise over the test stand

Did I just create a mod?

nicely done. one fairing done, with one variation.

yes, you could publish it as a mod.

Speaking of that, I have set up a GitHub account, but I have a question on licencing, I know which licence, you use, but which option does that come under in GitHub? I can't seem to find it as there are a few similar ones

Btw, the 'KAE SYSTEMS' is a play on BAE SYSTEMS as I'm British and if the UK had a space program that was at the same level as NASA's you could bet BAE SYSTEMS would be the primary contractor.

I am not a lawyer, and this isn't legal advice - but MIT is often used, as is GPLv2 (which is probably better if it is international) - the license is just there (at least for me) to protect myself.

*chuckle* I got that. Don't worry - UK will be making major strides now that things are looking up!
