Updating a mod from .17 to .20

[Netris]

I'm currently working on updating a mod from .17 to .20 for my personnal use (as I obviously don't have permission to share it as the original modders didn't show up in month) but I'm encountering some difficulties. For example, I can't make the docking port to work properly. My other problem is with the solar panels. I've read I could animate it using the mumech servo but I don't understand how. So, what's different between the .cfg in .17 and .20 ? What should I change in order for it to work ?

Here's the .cfg of the docking port so you can see what could be wrong.

// --- general parameters ---

name = cbm

module = Strut

author = Pelf

// --- asset parameters ---

mesh = CBM.dae

scale = 1

texture = texture.png

specPower = 0.1

rimFalloff = 3

alphaCutoff = 0.0

// --- node definitions ---

// definition format is Position X, Position Y, Position Z, Up X, Up Y, Up Z

node_stack_top = 0, 0.15, 0, 0, -1, 0

node_stack_bottom = 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0

// --- FX definitions ---

//

// --- editor parameters ---

cost = 1200

category = 2

subcategory = 0

title = Common Berthing Mechanism

//manufacturer = None

description = A CBM for space station modules so you can attach more modules.

// attachment rules: stack, srfAttach, allowStack, allowSrfAttach, allowCollision

attachRules = 1,0,1,0,1

stackSymmetry = 1

// --- standard part parameters ---

mass = 0.15

dragModelType = default

maximum_drag = 0.2

minimum_drag = 0.2

angularDrag = 3

crashTolerance = 40

maxTemp = 3400

fuelCrossFeed = True

breakingForce = 1000

breakingTorque = 1000

// ----- DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS POINT ------

EDIT : Wrong subforum. If a mod could move it

Thanks, but it doesn't solve my problem. I wasn't able to dock nor even open the menu by right-clicking it. That's what I need to know to be able to go on.

Becuase you never told it to be a docking port.

There's nothing in there that defines this part as a docking port, try adding.

Add

MODULE

{

name = ModuleDockingNode

referenceAttachNode = top

nodeType = size1

}

It explains a lot of things. I guess it's the same thing for the solar panels etc. Where can I find a list of all the partmodule ?

[ahappydude]

Thanks for that list waves

"KerbalTeamAI" hm...

[Netris]

Thanks a lot

Does anyone have a clue about the mumech servo ? I've went to the mumech website but don't understand as they don't speak in a language I can't understand

// ModuleSampleCollector

// ModuleSampleContainer

Hmm? what are these?

[Netris]

Hmm? what are these?

Probably already there for the version when they'll add mining.

[joedude69]

Probably already there for the version when they'll add mining.

Also there is Testium in the resource config so they were definitely working and testing on resource mining.

Yeah, they've been there for a couple of versions now but as far as I know they're not used yet.

Didn't 0.20 break it?

Servo creates a configurable joint and reparents any relevent objects on a part to the part it's attached to. I haven't approached it from a part perspective though, so I'm not very familiar with the exact details it wants.

I don't know, I've read a few thing on it but didn't understand much.
