sirkut Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Is there the possibility that that two mods (infernal and damned robotics) will merge, so we can have it as a bundle maybe eventually...^^ If DYJ gives his permission AND you are willing to do...Id like to help, but i am a simple key account manager for real estate and flats...not even a little bit of a plan about coding/modeling :/I doubt it but the good news is we are working on new parts so you won't have to use Damned Robotic parts. I'm working on a hinge right now to replace the one that came with Damned Robotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASnogarD Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I hope the authors of Damned Robotics (now Infernal Robotics ?) will continue their good work, and of course sirkut as well. This stuff adds too much fun and opens up so many avenues, I mean that slider alone opens up so many possibilities... like this rough idea I am working on...Its not an original idea, I got the notion from Armageddon , that Armadillo rover they took to mine into the asteroid.Thanks for the hard work.Some suggestions if I may...1) Set starting positions of each component 2) Set a max and minimal position for each component (as needs dictate rather than the widest possible movement range)3) Adjust movement speeds 4) Audio would be niceJust some ideas for you to think about, not demands.

ASnogarD Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 They have a move to original position but no way a user can set that position from the VAB, like for example the large hinge starts facing up so if you were going to make something that raises up from a horizontal position it would always start raised unless you added bits and pieces to make the hinge attach sideways... the suggestion would be to be able to say set the hinge already moved to the lowered position and make that the new original position for that craft.

sirkut Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Some suggestions if I may...1) Set starting positions of each component Not sure yet if this is plausible. I will look into if it's doable during the VAB/SPH scene.2) Set a max and minimal position for each component (as needs dictate rather than the widest possible movement range)This can be changed in the CFG file but during flight I'll look into it.For cylinder/pistons you specify in the cfg:translateLimits = TruetranslateMin = 0translateMax = 1.3For rotational items its:rotateLimits = TruerotateMin = 0.0rotateMax = 90.03) Adjust movement speeds This can be changed in the CFG file but during flight I'll look into it.In the CFG you can change the value of:cylinder/pistons: keyRotateSpeedrotational items: keyTranslateSpeed4) Audio would be niceI'll look into it.

Toyotawolf Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'd love the in flight or VAB options as I'm no good at modding. But if not I can cope, love what I'm reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Axlion Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Another thing to have with new hinges/joints would be some way of telling the sides apart. The old DR "elbow" for example, sometimes when using symmetry with it, you can't easily tell in the VAB which way it will hinge until you've sent it to the launch pad, and end up with joints that hinge right on one side, but wrong on the other.

I'm working on the new hinge part right now (both open AND closed) and it will have a small label stating what is the fixed base and the part that moves.

Hyratel Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 how hard would it be to do the following15 (or selectable) degree increments optionno-GUI mode, right click on the part and do "go to increment" "Increment right/left"integrate this into a docking port directlywhich these options in place, you could assemble stations or planetary/lunar bases with ease and without driving up your part count or having to dock with ultra precision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirkut Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 MSI animator?It's another plugin that I wrote that handles animations. This is useful for partially extending landing legs for example. I got tired of landing on crooked surfaces so I wrote this plugin. It's not currently out as we are working on the parts that will be released with it. Eventually I hope to tie both plugins together but for now they are separate.

We tend to have alot of clones around the runway and often need to clean them up. (and flinging them into something lol) here is a close up of the smaller claw. It's handy now to be able to have all this in one part and have it completely controllable.. and whats even better is these are just the first few parts we are churning out, there is some really cool stuff we haven't even posted yet.
