sirkut Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Is it possible to bind keys on the numpad?Also, it would be nice if we could enter specific angles in the config for starting positions and also in flight to automatically move the part to that position.Why doesn't clicking on the toolbar icon toggle the Servo Control window?Is it possible to edit the servo configuration in flight?No.Few pages mrblaq has some code I give me that will allow custom travel limits in the vab.It's a bug with the toolbar.Might come out eventually. Need to finish rewrite and work on other things first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanvyj Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Having trouble with this mod. I've unpacked it into the ksp directory but the parts aren't showing up. Previous mods (KW rocketry) had the parts in the tech tree, and even if I'd researched the node I had to re-research each individual part. But with IR there's just no indication it's installed at all. No parts in hangar, or science tree.Anyone come across this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModZero Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 The most recent version (and only the most recent one, this is new) does have all the parts in the tech tree. Are you sure that you have 000_Toolbar and MagicSmokeIndustries inside the GameData dir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobe Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Not everyone has a numpad?That's not really a reason to restrict functionality for everyone.The numpad with Num Lock off rotates the camera, but I usually have it on, so it should be a perfectly viable set of keys in that state.

cfds Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 After some experimentation I am really staring to like the mod. The only thing that keeps it from my main save is the random behaviour after docking/undocking. The rebuilding of the tree seems to destroy some things there (and the log gets spammed with "InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type.").

Pontiac Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Sirkut, is there any reason why the numpad cannot be assigned to the servo controls?As jivaii stated, plus, the reason is technical. Some APIs understand the numpad as being a different key. For instance, the 1 key along the top of your keyboard can be interpreted differently than the 1 key on the number keypad. Others don't and treat standard 1 and num-1 as being exactly the same. The same thing goes with the arrow keys, the / * - and + keys. I can't be certain Linux treats them differently, Windows does and depending on the keyboard API you're using it can be decided in program to treat them differently or not, and I'm not sure Mac stock keyboards even COME with a numpad (My wifes doesn't and I'm a Mac hater so don't think I'mma gonna test the theory).

Munar Industries Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Just thought I'd pop in to give a quick update on the Temp Retexture pack.Between moving and a mountain of fresh bugs at work I still haven't gotten to a v1.0 release.I will have time to breathe this Sunday (Jan 26th) and I'm going to try and get that up by Midnight PST.Cheers!

Cheese Wheel Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hey, is there any way to reverse the rotatron axis? Trying to make foldable rover wheels and this is the only problem I've ran into. I can't seem to find the keybinds list too, is there any way to hide the servo UI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrBlaQ Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The rover in "Adventures on Minmus" has hard limits set on all it's leg joints. There are a few inverted rotatron as well. This allows everything to be left in one group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzy78 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I wonder if there is a way to build something like the Power Data Grapple Fixture for Canadarm2 on the ISS?The way it works is like this: The Canadarm2 has its grapple mechanism on either end. Using that, it can attach to any PDGF anywhere on the station, using either end of the arm. It can then attach to another PDGF with the other end, and release the first end. That way, it can move about the station as desired.So far I've used the magnetic hook from KAS to hold onto things (only on one end, with the other end being fixed in place), but I'd really like to use something like the PDGF mechanism. Is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
