Beetlecat Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) This was (is) a spectacular rover pack. The IVA is pretty bonkers as well--almost like it was ripped from a completely different AAA game. Thanks for bringing this one back up to spec, LGG!

There are two ASET rovers now: ASET PRC (Portable Rover Components) and ASET ERS (Exploration Rover System) [this one]. Both CKAN packages have the same file /GameData/ASET/License.md which is causing a conflict if someone tries to install both rovers at the same time. Either individually works fine.

No... they wont lay flat, to get them to mount correctly... I also have to use fine-snapping to rotate them to proper position... Are you assembling this in the VAB or SPH? Theres some other tweaks I see this mod could use... so I'm poking stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit that I did not have the right requirement mod at that point, I had just the transparent cockpit one. With HebaruSan's helpful link, I got the correct dependency and everything still works. It was basically PAW things that didn't work the same without the requirement. But yeah, wheels moving fine for me. Mine is built with the "FWD" wheel on the left front and right rear, and the "BCK" wheel on the right front and left rear.

There is a little red arrow on each wheel, it has to be pointing up when mounted. 3 hours ago, HebaruSan said: One should link here instead: I updated the OP, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Blue Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) How are y'all attaching the US mounts to the cargo bays? I cant seem to get the stac nodes on the mounts to "snap" to the carbo nodes... The mounts just end up surface attaching..?? EDIT: Nvm..figured out the JSI Trans. Pods issueAlso, is the JSI Transparent Pods patch not seeming to work for anyone else? I have JSI TP installed... I *did* remove the ASET IVA dependencies, do *NOT* have RPM installed... I *do* have JSI Part Utilities installed I just noticed the Cabin & Crew Modules are defaulted to the ASET internals, so I changed that to use the stock IVA, and STILL no transparent windows.. ??@linuxgurugamer I'm looking at making some changes/improvements to this mod. It looks like the IVAs are defaulted to ASET internals, so you get TONS of log spam (just warnings). I see several parts use "Placeholder" as an internal..?? Looks like there *is* an existing internal using stock props for the Cabin. My question is, do you want the ASET IVA stuff & RPM Adopted to be *hard* dependencies with this, or should I go ahead and make an MM patch for the ASET IVAs, to make it a soft dependency/recommended mod? (the way its listed in the OP, it makes it sound like the ASET IVAs/RPM are *recommended*, not hard) Edited February 28, 2022 by Stone Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
