You can choose to just not install the BDB parts.  Or else I would suggest making a backup of the bdb directory or zip file so that you can restore it in case the FreeIVA stuff messes something up.  If you installed bdb through ckan then it will have already cached the zip and you can just reinstall it through ckan if you want to go back.

I'll just leave the BDB freeiva stuff alone for now. I can wait for the full release for those. You guys do awesome work, absolutely worth the wait.

[CirrusUpdraft]

If I might make a suggestion, perhaps add support for MOARDvPlus? It adds historically accurate IVAs to the BDB Apollo Command pod, (And also has its own command pod)

[Stone Blue]

MOARdvPlus uses a very old FASA internal model.
IIRC, BDB has its own, newer IVAs, and IMHO, the time would be better spent populating the new BDB models with MAS props, than supporting FASA ivas that may not even fit with the new BDB models.

"Kerbal Planetary Base Systems - Requires HabTech Props"

Dumb Question, but which part of it? Is it enough to copy the folder \GameData\HabTechProps to \Kerbal Space Program\GameData\ ? My path looks like this: E:\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\HabTechProps.

I copied ONLY the HabTechProps-Folder. Do you also need Habtech itself? Or do i need another version? I use HabTech2_v1.0.0.

I know, the error is before the Screen, but i tried different combinations of the folders and KPBS are the only parts i didn't get to work. I can BE in the parts and leave the seats but the transfer to another part, e.g. the  Greenhouse or a habitat doesn't work with gravity activated, i always fall through the floor.

Can you post your logs?

Apologies if it was asked already and I simply missed it, but I was curious if this mod could be easily translated to EVA, as an alternative to Through the Eyes of a Kerbal? That mod is superb, don't get me wrong, but I find myself wanting something that has more traditional and easily understandable controls in EVA, with less camera jankiness, and your mod achieves this perfectly but is limited to IVA only. I'd imagine there may be some difficulties in doing things like simulating RCS fuel for the Kerbals while in EVA, but I can't think of any other major issues off the top of my head.

 

I'm not good with coding or anything like that, but if it's easily doable and you're not interested in doing it, would you mind if I took a crack at it, maybe as a complimentary mod to this one? "FreeEVA"?

[Stone Blue]

@Doggo mebbe look into this mod?:
 

 

[Doggo]

@Stone BlueNot quite what I'm after. I'm talking more like enabling pure first person play, the exact same as FreeIVA, but in EVA, allowing for a fully seamless and easily understandable/controllable first person experience at all times, likely supplemented by Parts Commander to make EVA actions possible from a first person perspective.

 

That being said, that mod is exceptionally cool and something I'll be using in my load order from now on for when I'm not playing in IVA, so thank you for that

Just note, that idk if there *could* be any potential conflict with Through the Eyes

It would probably be far easier to polish ThroughTheEyes than to make an entire alternative from scratch.  Is it mainly the control scheme that you prefer (mouse look + WASD) ?

[Doggo]

Yeah pretty much. Through the Eyes is an awesome mod and I appreciate the work that went into it, but my only issues with it really are just the incredibly janky controls (no mouse look to turn, everything about the EVA controls) and the occasional camera jank it introduces (notably if a kerbal falls over, when they stand back up you can see the back of the helmet. I think this is just because the helmet isn't hidden along with the head, which I appreciate).

 

I'm curious if there's just a way to implement full mouse look (no mouse look when mouse is active, right click to toggle into mouse look mode, where your kerbal will face the direction the mouse is pointed; necessary for EVA movement. Same way it works in freeIVA) into Through the Eyes, which would largely solve my issues with that mod right away. I think I'd still prefer how cleanly integrated and polished FreeIVA feels, but Through the Eyes is a superb mod on its own so I'd be cool with that as a solution as well.

That is incredible, I'm always blown away with what you've been able to do with this mod.

Does this mod alter the textures of the stock MK2 crewed parts? For some reason, mine are blindingly white.

Nope it shouldn’t.

[lodiped]

So I have a suggestion, or a question (I searched for "cargo" and "bay" and didn't find anything itt). I have a Mk2 Cockpit attached to a Mk2 Cargo Bay. Inside the cargo bay there's a Mk1 Crew Cabin attached. But because the game seems to think the mk1 cabin is not attached to the cockpit, opening the cockpit's backdoor in IVA to traverse to the crew cabin (that is inside that cargo bay) is impossible. Is it at all possible to make it so this situation could work? Like making it so when a cargo node that is connected to a cockpit node also has a freeIVA part inside connected to that cargo node, it allows for traversing.

I took a little break from ksp and I'm so happy to see all the support with this mod!

Yes it should be possible:  if you go look at the squad/swuad_passthrough.cfg file the mk3 cargo bays are set up like this.

• Added OPT support

Bug Fixes Etc.

• Fixed a fatal bug when a camera collider transform is not found (B9 + RPM)
• Added passthrough variant to 1.8m and 2.5m monoprop tanks (requires B9PartSwitch)

• Windows in distant parts do not render correctly
• Centrifuge internals are always visible when JSI Advanced Transparent Pods is installed

Phenomenal mod! Thank you for making this!

Has anyone been able to exit the Lynx Docking module? I've tried every docking port in the Free IVA tab, and none of them will give the open hatch prompt. When I attached 2 Lynx docking modules directly together with no docking ports in between I am able to get the prompt and open the hatch but can't actually go through the open door. I can also go from a B2 docking module into a Lynx docking module but once inside can't go back through and no longer receive the hatch prompt.  Any ideas?

Thank you again for this incredible mod!

Woops, looks like I botched the collider model on that one.  Replace FreeIva/FelineUtilityRover/Lynx_DockingBay_Internal.mu with this file: https://github.com/pizzaoverhead/FreeIva/raw/main/GameData/FreeIva/FelineUtilityRover/Lynx_DockingBay_Internal.mu

I'm definitely going to try this after I get back to my computer. Also, would it be possible to add prop support to the SOCK cockpit?

That fixed it. Thanks! Talk about support! 

Now that it has FreeIva support I'm gonna go give OPT another serious look.

Thanks again. You rock!
