Asteroids 2.4 Now Open Source

[Jupiter02]

got it.......

[jpinard]

Could you do a version of these, like an asteroid belt that is compatible with Planetfactory?

[frizzank]

I dont know how to use planet factory, and I am tied up doing Apollo for FASA. If someone else can hook it up they are free to use them...

[problemecium]

Have you considered using your ARGravitatingPart plugin to create other celestial objects such as black holes?

[frizzank]

Yes but it would have no effect on the planets. It would rip your ship apart if you got too close. Something like that may be better served by planet factory.

[Jupiter02]

also wheres the asteroids on R&D

[frizzank]

I updated the spaceport download, they are in the tech tree at the beginning.

Hanger extender is another useful mod for building on large asteroids.

Frizzank- could you release a docking port set that has one end be a spike, and the other is a mound of rock the same color as the asteroid?

[Vladthemad]

Noticed a possible error in a config while pulling out the gravity module on the Asteroid100. At the very bottom I didn't see a final close bracket after the gravity module close bracket to match the opening one at the very top under PART. Am I correct in assuming there should be a final bracket there?

Guy's start practicing before update comes NASA. How far The astroids gona be anyone knows ?

For now, you can use KAS to attach new docking ports during an EVA session. Works fairly well.

Yes there is. I don't know how it still works without it though? Maybe its just dumping the gravity module.

[SuspectTax]

is it possible to get the save file that comes with the to be in career mode?

[frizzank]

Open up the persistent.sfs with a text editor and change

	Title = FASA Asteroids (SANDBOX)
	Description = No description available.
	Mode = 0)

to this

	Title = FASA Asteroids (CAREER)
	Description = No description available.
	Mode = 1

Should work

Not work... science stage = complete... and not going in centre development...

I am trying to get my custom asteroids to spawn in with the new stock ones. If anyone has any clue as to how I would do that I would appreciate it.

Just injecting the config into the custom asteroids did not work.

vesselType = SpaceObject

MODULE
{
	name = ModuleAsteroid	
}

[JTG]

Well, asteroids are stock, but I like to still use these, since you can put'em where ever. I just want to know, how do you make the VAB zoom limits larger?

Looking at ModuleAsteroid, here are the public fields and types:

AsteroidName (string)
density (float)
maxRadiusMultiplier (float)
minRadiusMultiplier (float)
prefabBaseURL (string)
sampleExperimentId (string)
sampleExperimentXmitScalar (float)
seed (int)

The prefabBaseURL looks promising ... if I hyperedit a ship into close proximity and dump out that field, the asteroid says its url is Procedural/PA_C. So that may be why yours don't spawn - the default points at a procedural asteroid generator. You might try adding "prefabBaseURL = {asteroid model URL}" and see if that makes your models show up. Although, if it's a procedural thing, it may not matter.

there was a mod that lets you zoom out of the VAB real far but I have lost where it is.

I will try it when I get a chance, but it looks like the asteroids are procedurally generated so replacing them may not be an easy task.

[Galacticruler]

It died, Sjno remade it, but better, as the FireSpitter Hanger Extender.

[Ruedii]

It would be a cool mod to replace the new NASA-Mission in-game asteroids with these things.

[aeTIos]

The nasa asteroids are procedurally generated however. These aren't (afaik)

[Pockrtplanesairways]

This mod is completely obsolete.

[frizzank]

Your right it is! Thats why I am teaming up with MrHappyFace to make FASA Asteroids 2!

Here is what we have in store using the new in game asteroid spawning system.

Custom new FASA asteroid spawning.

Comets!

Custom craft spawning, make derelict ships that spawn randomly.

Also controls for where all objects spawn and how frequently.
