[1.12.X] Addon for JSI called JSI Adv Transparent Pods Stock Config v1.0 - Stock transparent windows for pods

[popos1]

Hi,

I was see that stock pods don't have a good support for the JSI Adv Transparent Pods. 

I was try to add this transparent windows like on the wiki from the mod JSI, but i couldn't get to work: JSIAdvTransparentPods · JPLRepo/JSIAdvTransparentPods Wiki (github.com)

or like with this planetary base mod: 

So i was just created new IVAs with only the windows 

Please help mi to improve this to only using depth mask to get support with e.g. raster prop monitor system: https://github.com/FirstPersonKSP/RasterPropMonitor

Download

GITHUB: popos123/JSIAdvTransparentPodsStockConfig: This is IVA addon aka transparent windows to stock pods based on JSI Advanced Transparent Pods (github.com)

EDIT:

This is my dream mod! I hope one day that all pods for stock, Restock, and other major mods like Near Future have transparent windows and this seems to be a great start.

Unfortunately, I do not have the Blender/Unity know-how to make this happen myself but I hope your video is a decent start.

Do you intend to continue working on this mod? I noticed from a quick playthrough that the transparent windows will sometimes revert back to the original texture when moving the camera around the part. I also noticed that some parts have an actual window while others are just cutaways. Anyways, I'd be happy to help with this if I can learn it.

Yes i know, today i was thinking about this to add this models instead internel view (IVA), but to the whole model by using a config files, i need to test this solution, if it will work it will fix this problem and transparent window will be always visable

Glad to hear you are still at work on this mod. I am looking forward to seeing the update released!

If possible, any documentation you can provide on the process would be appreciated. I would love to mimic this effect on modded command modules from other mods such as Restock and Near Future. I know this is likely a large ask, but the work you are doing has great potential that I hope the community can utilize in the future!

hey, sorry if ive missed something, but i was wondering if you have a solution or are aware of a rendering bug where this grey model shows on all capsules where the hatch is https://imgur.com/a/86hK2S3 im also getting the error "transparent pod obstructed" on the bottom capsule, even when it is on its own as its own single part craft. any help would be greatly appreciated (edit: i managed to get it unobstructed, but now when the transparent part option is selected just shows the regular interior overlay

Hi @popos1, do you intend to update this mod further? I am interested in learning how to do the same for Restock Command Pods and wanted to check in case my plans overlap with yours. Additionally, if you have any resources other than the video above to provide as development tools it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your work on this mod!
