RollKage

This is actually very easy if you use the FSTextureSwitch module from the FireSpitter plugin

Yes, brilliant isn't it? I will of course seek permission before I do that.

I feel I should reply to this thread to push it back up to the top. This pack is excellent, and the quality is up there alongside the best. Thanks for all your hard work.

I'm still wishing for left and right side versions of those ruggedized wheels or some way to turn the tread texture around on one side so they're going the same way on both sides.

*ended up changieng the .CFG around so it runs on intake air and LF and acts like a generator! GAS-ELECTRIC DUNEBUGGY WOO!

[Tommygun]

I have it loaded, I just need enough science points to unlock all the rover parts.

Hey angus, have you guys thought about working with this? http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/61717-InfiniteDice-ICE-An-alternative-Engine-Module-for-Atmospheric-Vehicles

[Hellbrand]

all things considered that would be a great replacement, specially For TT's Modular multiwheels, imagine setting up a garage somewhere in kerbin city xD

That would be cool. Lots of amazing stuff out there that would be cool to add in, but don't hold your breath guys. It'll be a while before anything else is added.

[Trollkowski]

When i install the pack, no new wheels show up, any way to fix this? (sandbox btw) really want some new cool looking wheels :/

[Xzabath]

the Rollkage MK1 has the wheels, angus just added some new rollkage parts on this pack.

[Kenobi McCormick]

Space Van MkI ready for service!

[Justin Kerbice]

Great job, I tried it shortly and I found the idea very usefull and funny, but why make so small rollKages with so big wheels ? (the wheel provided in the parts set)

Small wheels can be usefull maybe.

[Kenobi McCormick]

Eh? What? That's a very confusing statement, what were you trying to say?

[Zuni]

He's saying that the wheels are too big for the rollkage.

[Kenobi McCormick]

Ahh. I thought it was referring to my Space Van, which has wheels proportionally sized to the cage, which is what confused me. Yeah the wheels that come with the Kages are a bit big by default. I resized mine to match the wheels on the Space Van up there.

[Zuni]

Is the space van that picture up above on this page?

What wheels are those?

It looks like TT's Modular multiwheels 6

Thanks for clarifying, I didn't figure out my words can be intepreted in the context of the post right above it It is about the "mk1" mod.

[angusmcbeth]

We added oversized wheels as it fitted in with with the kerbal design standards, like the oversized helmets on their oversized heads.

The Rollkage Kerchelin Extreme, rescaled to 70% looks neat and tidy alongside the rollkage parts. Very easy to do and a great starting point for anyone interested in modding parts for themselves.

I'm pretty sure those wheels on Kenobi McCormicks excellent van are by Zitronen, the same chap who set up the RollKage Kerchelin wheels.

I read a few pages and seen the OP, i LOVE what you have done here, but may I suggest something interesting?

You RTG engine that you made, What about making it into a zero thrust engine having it run off oxidizer and fuel with exhaust for the engine part, and it makes electricity? The smoke and flame is for effect and it has a very low consumption of resources for its power, and larger you make the more fuel it uses and power it makes. It would make this look more car/truck like, and go perfect with your roll-cages! !

Thanks for the mod, particularly the wheels! I was wondering if it might be possible to add the suspension spring rate as a tweakable in a future release? I understand this is baked into the .mu, so not changeable with a .cfg edit(?). I'd love to be able to change the spring rate to suit different gravity. Apologies if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any reference in the thread from a quick browse through.

Anyway, thanks again for all the hard work

[zitronen]

Unfortunately the default wheel module does not support adjustments to spring, damper, friction, etc. It might be possible through a plug-in though.

[AlphaAsh]

Been looking for a 'combustion engine' part for a while and this mod brings it. Lovely. Thankyou.
