Caterpillar Tracks- NOW OPEN SOURCE, ALL FILES OPEN TO PUBLIC

[mike9606]

Is anybody actually going to help me with my issue?

[electronicfox]

Kudos to you electronicfox for releasing everything out into the wild. I've thoroughly enjoyed your parts. Without your work I couldn't have built this:

Its not only my tracks you have there, I had quite the hand in those chunky wheels and the rollkage too

How do I install this? I downloaded both the plugin and the other files and I have no idea what to do with them.

These files are not a complete mod, more of an unfinished mod released for others to complete.

Make a folder in GameData for the track parts to live, place the plugin DLL in that folder with the track parts folders. The old config files will not work, so replace them with examples from here: https://github.com/6forty/trackar/wiki

How would one use the currently made files to make a rather large double track part? I've been working on a rather extra large rover to fit 3 of the dual 14 inch turrets from Skilled weapons mod. I'd like to use tracks on it but from what i have looked i've not sure how to make it happen.

There are no track part CFGs in either download... Am I missing everything here?

The link 6.forty provided is the date to make the cfg files.

Can you please upload the old mod that was hosted on Spaceport? I thought that one was fine and a bunch of my old saves rely on it! Thanks

[lo-fi]

Cheers guys, got the files. I've imported the package and the fbx's, but I can't find a Unity scene with wheel colliders etc. rigged to the joints? Am I missing something, either literally or proverbially? Can see how this is all supposed to work though, it's really nice..

[DisarmingBaton5]

Is there any official continuation project yet? Or at least a usable updated version of the mod?

[JeffreyCor]

Hoping someone picks this up too for making it into a usable version. Have been wanting working tracks for a long time.

The Unity scene is packed into the Unity package (I think, I'll check that in a moment).

Cheers, be great if I can get hold of it. I'll double check, but I'm sure I didn't see it after the package import.

Im about 250 miles from my PC for a few days, and only today noticed I havent installed Unity on my laptop so I cant check until I return. I'll just assume you're correct and I forgot the scene, which means I'll fix that in a few days.

[lo-fi]

No drama, thanks for taking the time out to look.

Excited to see if I can pick this up

[Anister]

can someone please show the grand kindness to upload a copy of this mod that works? I just cant get it to work (Read: Im way to lazy)

[wolfiie]

I remember using this mod forever ago, but I forgot about it after a reset

Can anyone upload a folder or something with the parts ready to go to install into KSP? I for the life of me do not know how to Unity or export models into the format KSP picks up

[fafeman]

Could the OP please reupload the old download? After the Spaceport was taken down and replaced with Curse, the old one was removed. :I

what that guy said^

[SpaceCommanderNemo]

I think it's up on CurseForge now, or at least somebody put a download for caterpillar tracks on there.

don't work for me

its like they have no engiene and no steering

when i attach a rocketmotor i can drive straightforward but that is not very usefull

mybe some of you can fix that and reupload

[Deltac]

so um... can we consider this mod dead, or is someone working on this?

[BudgetHedgehog]

Lo-fi is working on an almost-continuation with Kerbal Foundries (the dev version contains tracks that mostly work).

[lo-fi]

It's proven tricky to pick up. I have something semi-workable, but ksp funnies are keeping me from pursuing further at the moment. Particularly, the tank steer mode does weird, weird things. And there is something subtley wrong with scaling and placement of wheel colliders. However:

[electronicfox]

Fantastic to see that someone has picked this up. I wish you all the luck with these (and you might find it useful to contact EndlessWaves or 6.forty for some help with any issues in the plugin should either of them be available).

[lo-fi]

It's going to be a slow burner, but I'll get there. I've pretty much starters fresh and that little demo is running with no plugin at all, apart from stock modules. I don't like to hassle them if I can help it, though I'll keep as an option if I get really stuck.
