Hey Lack, how regularly do you update the main download? Is it every time you make a new part, or do you wait for them to build up?

Either way something that might save you some time is if you get a drop-box account, and then just add new parts and bits to the same archive it will update the archive but keep the same link. So when you made a new engine you could just add it to the main archive and it will just upload that as the new version and all links will still work.

It is excessive to do that for individual part additions, but it could save you some steps with packaging and uploading for the main file.

Would you make a kethane converter for this pack? The standard one does not fit the 2x1 parts.

What are you looking for? Just something about the size of the SAS or maybe even just a Kethane tank that works as a converter?

Shadow, try turning off angle snap in the VAB. You won't get as exact placement, but I think they should lay flush then (or that's been the case for me previously with non cylindrical parts). Regardless, as the parts are only bilaterally symmetrical, you'll also probably have to only use up to 2x symmetry.

Ideally something the size of the SAS tank.

Do something that's obvious and makes things easier to use? Why on earth would anyone want to do something like that?

(Thanks, I do occasionally need a prod in the right direction with these things. I've updated the first post with current downloads, at least till I repackage the lot).

In the mean time: I didn't quite think my duna base/rover through, i.e. I ended up landing with the rover still attached. Worked out in the end, I could drive over for a better view.

Changed the rescaleFactor to 0.45 and the weight appropriately. I did the same with the underside legs (except used rescaleFactor = 0.7). That way they fit the sides quite nicely.

I've got a few parts done now, including some more adaptor plates. I'll see about uploading them later.

Heh, when I say 'later' I mean either tonight or tomorrow. I had a bit to drink last night and I'm worried that I don't appear to have a hang-over this morning, in my experience that's the calm before the storm.

The pressure is on Lack! Time for 0.1.

In latest new, the 0.1 release is cancelled. Or, more precisely, will be renamed to '0.1b', '0.11', 'Edition 2' or 'Rowan Atkinson in a Kilt', primarily because version names are complete arbitrary :P

In all seriousness, I'd been wanting to get a few parts polished before I called it that, so there's a bit more bug hunting to do. That's time consuming, so mainly gets done on the weekends.

The webserver doesn't care about the durability of your keyboard when detecting denial of service though :P

I think Damion or Skunky once said on IRC that they actually had this exact problem with people who wanted to be the first to get the latest update...

Edit: Wow just noticed that it killed the alpha channel of my avatar in here too... Why does this always have to happen, gah

This has to be my favorite pack. I use it along with Mechjeb and KSPX for my stock-ish install. Why not make your own rover wheels? Maybe a nice mid-size wheel between the giant one and the current medium one.

I also want ion engines, and 1 by 1 fuel tanks.

Btw, i found a bug with radial attachment of the 1 by 2 fuel/ox tanks.

If you look back a couple of pages you should find a link where I made a couple of stand-in fuel tanks using the walkway hub model.

Really it is not hard, you just play with the config a little to tell it that it should have "this fuel" in "this amount" and the game takes care of it. 5 lines or so, with a couple of other minor changes like the parts name.
