ISO of a Parts Specialist!

[AtomicTech]

Hello!

I'm getting close to releasing Version 1.0.0 of my mod, AtomicTech Inc. Junkyards, and I'm going through, looking for bugs to squash when I came across the biggest problem yet, Nodes. I have a large number of resized parts in my mod and I'd really appreciate if someone could fix it! 

I'm still rather green with my skills and only really know about configuring a part and its stats not really anything about modeling.

So, I'm looking for a Parts Specialist(s) who'd be willing to go through the GitHub Repo and fix the nodes where possible.

Benefits include:

• Free follow, If already not followed.
• Free Rep!
• Credit in Work!

how did you rescale the parts? inside the

MODEL
{
	model = xxx
	scale = 1.0, 1.0, 1.0
}
rescaleFactor  = 1.0

or did you use the `rescale` key?

IIRC, if you use the rescale method the nodes are adjusted (both in location and also in size)

another way is to use a MM patch with @Lisias version of MM - and have it dump the configs to file in game - then just copy them

otherwise, if you know RGEX and use something like VSCode or NotePadPlusPlus - then a RGEX find and replace with all part.cfg's open in NPP (replace in all open docs)...

Just the rescale key.

I would like this but I'm outta reactions...

i thought the proper key for outside the brackets was "rescaleFactor =" ??... not just "rescale =".. ??

Also, did you change any scale values *inside* the brackets, using "scale =", *along* with changing rescale?.. doing both could mess things up

Also, another option might be to manually place the nodes, in the editor, using

For the resized stock parts it's the rescale factor:

  @name = ServiceBay_375
  @cost = 750

  @title = ATSRV "Shipping Container" 375 Service Bay
  @description = A bigger heat resistant service bay, ideal for protecting delicate instruments or stowing service components such as RCS tanks, batteries, etc.
}

+PART[ServiceBay_250]

  @rescaleFactor = 2
  @name = ServiceBay_5

for the greenhouse parts, it's:

Note that this isn't all the code but it's a good example of what the rest of the code looks like.
