               Welcome to
ASET Consolidated

Your one-stop shop, where we have dusted off, rebranded and provided a comprehensive collection of ASET mods created by @alexustas.

Our Products:

Part Packs:

  • ASET Consolidated ALCOR
  • ASET Consolidated Landing Leg
  • ASET Consolidated Dock-o-Matic Ports

Prop Packs: (seperate thread)

IVA Packs: (separate thread)

=============================================================================

**Shared ASET Consolidated Installation Instructions:**

Installation method is the same for ALL packs in the ASET Consolidated product line:
Two Methods are available:

  1. Find the packs you wish to install listed on CKAN.
  2. Manual install:
    1. Dowload the .zip file for the Pack, using the links below.
    2. Either extract the .zip to your KSP install folder, *or* open it and drag/drop the "GameData" folder to your KSP install folder.
      You may get a message asking if you are sure you want to merge the GameData folder with the existing one, click "Yes".
      All of the ASET Consolidated packs share & install to the /GameData/ASET/ subfolder,
      in turn creating their own sub-folders in *that* folder.

***POST RESERVED ***

So I usually dont post a new thread till i am already finished with authoring & formatting it, but bear with me as I convert  the OP to forum formatting & finish writing it. It was killing me, not being able to preview how it would actually look.
(which I see is... *horrible* rn) :P

Iodyne is correct... I'm still in process putting together new releases. I've been concentrating on the Avionics, Props, & Stock Replacement IVA packs.

I *have* started on the ALCOR pack, which will be the first of the "Part" packs to release... Just not in a state where I want to make a release yet.

Soo... Just thought I'ld throw out a post, asking if anyone has any issues, bugs, problems or suggestions for fixing/improving anything they've come across, or any added/new features they would like to see included in any future updates of ALCOR.

Tell me, now... :P

No promises, but I'll see what I can do.

I *am* planning on combining the ALCOR part, and the IVA into one package, rather than having to download & install *two* seperate things.
Both are pretty small, package-wise, and the best part of ALCOR *is* its advanced IVA, and I cant see using *just* the part, without the IVA.

I'm not sure, but I tried this with the new module manager and saves in a new copy of the game, when I transferred my game data I left out JSI and ASET/ASET Props and installed both new.

As far as I can see everything was fine until I tried zooming in my docking view, no controls, any thoughts?

Can you send a screenshot and logs?

@RW-1 yes, logs please. screenshot would be nice too :P

I assume you mean, you are using the view in one of the MFD screens?

Expand  

Yes, the main larger screen in Docking mode, controlled from docking clampotron as ref, and targeting a station c-o-tron.

I'm not sure a screenshot would help with the zoom issue, unfortunately I just figured it was me and I deleted that whole install. Im sorry, that stuff probably would have been valuable for you.

If I get time this weekend I will do another KSP folder install and move my stuff over as I indicated prior making sure that I just have the new JSI and ASET props then eval again and get logs.

I was moving to this due to the warnings that the newer module manager had moved some ASET props to the new props pack, and I wanted to make sure that I had the latest and greatest.

Dont worry about taking the time. I was able to reproduce/verify the issue. Its the same with the smaller MFD as well.
I've at least verified it when they are used with RPM. I have to install & test with MAS, to see if its the same.

Ahh, ok, I would have figured that might be the case, why I posted hehe. Yeah, I don't use MAS myself.

I'll still get  new build put together and try to get logs if able, It's tough when one has so many mods and you're transferring a game save with all the things, you know what I mean ... [thumbs up]

Did zooming on the docking page *ever* work?  Not sure if it did or if I just never tried.  If it did, this could be an issue with RPM itself, I did a lot of surgery on the camera pages (which has some overlap with the docking one).

Idk if it ever did either... I also usually had KURS & HullCam installed whenever I actually *played*... idk if those could be factors...
Also, hmm... i may have to retest.. i think i may have forgotten to mae sure those were removed in my test install yesterday :thinking:

I *did* try to test with only MAS installed (no RPM)... but I couldnt find a MAS-only IVA, that had the 40x20 MFD in it.
As advanced as MAS is, with even MOAR props available to it than RPM... I was *very* surprised to find that...
*There is a SAD lack of MAS-only IVAs out there, that mae good use of the huge amount of props available.*
Seemingly. NOTHING, even *close* to ALCOR, or even the ASET Consolidated Mk1-2.3 Pod... :(

Hi guys, been away, Yes it was zooming in docking, I'll check my current installation as soon as I can to confirm it works.

 

Ok, 1.12.5 -  RPM 0.31.9,  props 1.5 (was listed in in verrsion file itself)

Does zoom in the large MFD and smaller one as well. (Selected docking port as ref, aimed at Kerbin and zoomed in/out)

OK, that's around the time that I was working on RPM optimizations.  If you could find the *first* RPM version where it broke, that could be helpful.

Hey Jonny,

Can't be 100% sure, but I think it has to be 0.31.9 which is the last one I was using prior to the newest, lease s a bit of room there I now, but I'm 98% on that.  (I keep the mods on a storage drive and the one I have is 31.9, so I must have missed the 10.x series and the first 11.0 ...

You only had 4 releases after that  and pon 31.11.0 you specified the move to the new ASET Props, which is why I decided not to just add  those to my existing game, but to copy that whole 1.12.5 to a new folder then delete aset props there and JSI then replace with the new ones.

SO, just an update...
I'm coming close to haveing the ALCOR pod model optimized. Hopefully should have a new update released soon.

I've been considering merging the ALCOR IVA stuff, into the same release with the Pod itself. Currently, you have to install the Pod and the IVA as two *seperate* mods.

The IVA stuff is pretty insignificant size-wise, so it wouldnt dramatically affect the size of your /GameData folder.

I *do*, however, have to look at the performance cost of having the IVA installed, versus just having the Pod without the IVA.
Wondering if there is a significant user-base, who uses the Pod *without* the IVA.
(I cant imagine doing that, as the IVA is IMHO the *best* part of the ALCOR. :P )

If there is a significant performance cost to having the IVA installed vs NOT, I may hold off on merging the two, until after I optimize the IVA.
I know JonnyOThan recently did a nice performance optimization on RPM in a recent update, so that should help a lot. I wish i could say the same for MAS, as I was hoping to eventually mae a MAS-only version of the ALCOR IVA, but it looks like MOARdV has announced to put MAS on hiatus, so performance optimization for it is not likely to come Soon :(

If I decide not to merge both mods *now*, with only the Pod update, I will definately be looking to do it after I optimize the IVA.

So I *am* leaning toward merging the two into one mod.. just a matter of if i should do it NOW, or later.

Looking for input from users on the decision, and to see if there's reasons *NOT* to merge them, which i havent thought of or considered.
I've added a poll at the top of the topic.
Looking forward to user input ;)

Yeahhh... Its a bit complicated optimizing the ALCOR pod model, and I was running into issues with FreeIVA support, so I've been waiting for JonnyOThan to get to a moar complete state on FreeIVA, as well as his changes to ASET Props, and possibly other stuff.

With Summer here, my KSP time is also severly limited, so there's that too...

Hi all,

Having used Alex's stuff, I was happy to see this taken on.

I have a problem though, I hate having these as it feels so complicated.

I updated my ASET packs to the new consolidated ones, and I believe all the dependancies, after I had removed the previous ones in the ASET directory.

I currently have:

ALCOR_Advanced IVA

ALCOR Lander capsule

ASET Avionics (from consolidated)

ASET Props (from consolidated)

ASET Stockrpl_IVA's (From consolidated)

 

In the mk1-3 capsule though, I have no mechjeb installed message, though it is installed, I have the mechjeb tab, and can run it from there, I just cant bring it up on the MFD, nor the commander's upper panel (though switch covers work for the various modes...

What am I missing here? Mechjeb2 was working, and it is enabled for the capsule in it's right click menu. I also tried the part on it but it never turned green.

I'm having some fun here, want to just shift delete, but too much invested in this iteration, plus now trying to get my settings good for BR's volumetrics ...  :)

Hi, please include your KSP.log file with all bug reports.  It’s quite possible that this is a bug in ASET or rpm but it could also be an installation issue and the logs will help in either case.
