LLL - Lack Luster Labs - Development Thread

[Lack]

Is source of inspiration was "infiltrator pod"? Don't get me wrong, I'm really like homeworld art and style.

Yeah it is. I think I've actually called it an 'Inflitration Pod' in-game, as well. EDIT: My bad, it's referred to as that in the file structure 'LLL/Parts/Command/InfiltrationPod' and as 'name = InfilPod'

needs some flood lights but looks good

It does a flood-light at the front, but it isn't particularly strong.

Lack, can you whip up a 'cryo-pod' for kerbals? About the same size as the little hatch door, just... with space for a single Kerbal, so they can be used as cryo-pods.

Yeah, I can probably manage that.

Lack, I think you're one of the most active modders here, readily responding to people. IS AWESOME! I just want .craft files, since I can never seem to make anything as epic as your ships.

has anyone noticed this bug involving the new building blocks....

it only seem to happen when whenever i use symmetry mode in the SPH but it doesn't happen in the VAB for some reason

That's 'stackSymmetry = 3', I believe. It tends to have that effect in the VAB, just change it to 1 or // it out in the .cfg if it's a nuisance for you.

I used to have things like this but they were about 25-30 parts a piece. Now I have all that in one! Lack . . . . .

Here, have some rep.

Just a quick post.

Made this at the weekend. A little shuttle/salvage ship, with room for 2 crew, RCS, small rockets for changing orbit, lights and capable of docking to a variety of docking nodes.

LLL - Salvage Pod

There's still a few problems, but I've been having some fun with it.

Is it just me or does anybody else look at this and think Escape Pod?

[The Error]

Did you just manage to completely disassemble a ship with the salvage pod?

Livin' up to it's name, I see...

[JewelShisen]

Ok I tossed the pod into my game and found something odd with it... When I try to target it for docking i get THREE targets to pick from! O.O Also it seems to have several more redundant items on the right click menu for it.

[Railgunner2160]

I think that's because he included every sizes docking bits so it could dock with all three sizes of docking ports, from Jr. to Sr.

[Liam Sheepman]

I downloaded this, but some of the cockpits, the fuel tanks, and pretty much everything orange in the UI was invisible. Completely see-through. Help me?

Please tell me you're gonna name it "Toy Box"

[Pigbear]

Alright. Time for me to come back to KSP again. First mod on my list.

[Ratata]

i love the salvage pod! why do i have the image of rotating drills attached to the front of it in my head? XD

[Reddot99]

Best little transport for minimus, ever,

[Avalant]

I just have to say how amazing your add on is for KSP! Without it, my interplanetary explorer could not have begun its journey!

Pardon the big pictures!

[WhatsThisButtonDo]

Lack thank you for the new parts. For a while I've been trying to mod parts like turning fuel tanks into crew quarters and using other hatches, without a lot of success. Your great crew hatch that works with the Vanguard mod and the crew quarters that have the same look as the fuel tanks now makes it possible to make the kind of retro lander I've wanted. I'm working now on a matching orbiting station using your LLL parts to carry the lander out to the planets.

What mod is that engine from? It looks awesome O_O

[Bobhendly]

That there is the new snazzy Hybrid Ion Engine mod.. they finaly made their own models and texes

[Bobhendly]

I Discovered that this mod IS NOT FAR Compatible.. Pain in the arse, Because I Made a awesome spaceplane.. That flips backwards

[Lataruz]

For some reason the nuclear engine is smaller after i go to the launchpad, anyone else got this ?

It still behaves like its the correct size

[Reddot99]

It's quite FAR compatible, just the rectangular shapes means more surface area and thus more drag.

The 4x4 cargo bays hold a bunch of 2m probes quite nicely!

[Ember]

wow havnt been here in a while, i blame work, lots of snazzy new stuff

[sidfu]

is there .cfg change to make the radar and other dishes/antana work with remote tech

[PringleMan]

is there .cfg change to make the radar and other dishes/antana work with remote tech

I would try adding:

Module
{
   EnergyCost = 0.15

   Mode1Name = Deployed
   Mode0Name = Retracted

  Mode0OmniRange = 0
  Mode1OmniRange = 8000000
}

That seems to be the bits that Remote Tech uses to activate the plugin on a part. If there is a transform involved though you are out of luck. The other code bit for a dish antenna is

Mode0DishRange = 0
Mode1DishRange = 40000000

used in place of the Mode0OmniRange. Let me know if that works.
