sirkut Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Thanks for the kind word guys. I just updated the plugin. Everything is back in except the custom speed control. Refer to the OP for downloads. There's currently a bug using the Move +, Move Center, and Move - action groups playing sound. Just use the GUI or keybindings via the GUI in the SPH/VAB. (there's an image for those who are not sure what I'm talking about) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZodiusInfuser Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 One more problem I've encountered. If I put an arm under tension, it is normal that the joints move to try to react on the tension. and if I get the arm up, it gets back into position. BUT!!! If I quicksave while the arm is under tension and quickload, If I bring the arm up, you can clearly see that the joints will now assume the tensioned positions as their new original ones.I've noticed this too when returning to a craft after performing other missions. I guess the same behaviour that affects quicksaves also occurs with the persistence file. In my case the tension was just from gravity so didn't show itself until after several saves had occurred.

cameroon Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Thanks sirkut, that seems to have fixed the parts floating off on their own! Haven't given it as thorough testing as ouch did but seems like it's working as expected now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't given it as thorough testing as ouch did but seems like it's working as expected now Thanks for letting me know. I tested it myself replicating what others experienced and didn't see the weird floating portions. So far so good! I did fix the move+,move-, and move 0 bug (not in an update yet). Working on the custom speed text field now. Still not certain if people want this feature or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I quicksave while the arm is under tension and quickload, If I bring the arm up, you can clearly see that the joints will now assume the tensioned positions as their new original ones.Limb before the experiment:Limb under tension, QUICKSAVE! notice the joint between 2 limb parts and the rotahubQUICKLOAD, Limb brought up, you can see the joints assume new positionI don't know if this is the plugin problem or is it a normal KSP problem, but I guess it's one of the things you should tell people first "NEVER LEAVE PARTS UNDER TENSION DURING QUICKSAVING!" =)Yea thats the problem i'm having as well. i'm glad it's not just an isolated incident.

sirkut Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Yea thats the problem i'm having as well. i'm glad it's not just an isolated incident.Have you tried it again with the 0.5 release? The weird translation problems with the parts appearing far away after saving and returning to the craft has been resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameroon Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thanks for letting me know. I tested it myself replicating what others experienced and didn't see the weird floating portions. So far so good! I did fix the move+,move-, and move 0 bug (not in an update yet). Working on the custom speed text field now. Still not certain if people want this feature or not.Well since that sounds like a "what would people like" type of question... If I had my choice, these are the features I'd want:* Setting the "start" position during assembly (like being able to set a ram half-way in its travel)* Variable speed settings (would be nice to be able to set these during assembly and have them persist with the craft too)* Being able to set minimum and maximum travel ranges during assemblyI do like being able to change the speeds, but if I could have setting the start position or having variable speeds, I think I'd pick start positions.As an example, I'm working on an airplane design that lets it shift the CoM during flight (for payload offset) and it would be great to be able to set the ram to 50% of its travel so that I could build the airplane with a balanced CoM in the editor and still be able to shift the CoM forward or backward during flight.As-is, there's a lot of guesswork to get positioning right.

cxg2827 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Is there any way (or possible .cfg edit) which would allow a docking washer to be toggled to spin continuously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gristle Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Is there any way (or possible .cfg edit) which would allow a docking washer to be toggled to spin continuously?Use an action group. When activated this way the part will move it's full limit until the AG key is pressed again. In the case of rotary parts they spin continuously.

cxg2827 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thanks! should have checked action groups prior to asking these docking washers finally make a hand free centrifuge possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirkut Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Did someone say rotatron? Here's a comparison.I like probe parts so I made 2 smaller sized rotatrons. 1/2 sized and quarter sized. Edited August 14, 2013 by sirkut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 looks good. and I would like to see the return of speed controls. It allows you to fine tune each ship for it's intended purpose regardless of parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It allows you to fine tune each ship for it's intended purpose regardless of parts.I'm working on it. I'm having issues with it. I already reworked the UI so you can either retain the original speeds of each component or do a complete override of all of them. There is just a problem with them translating in the wrong direction after a reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grom Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 So does this mod fully replace Damned Robotics now? Or there still some parts it doesn't have equivalent of yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirkut Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 So does this mod fully replace Damned Robotics now? Or there still some parts it doesn't have equivalent of yet?The only two parts not present yet are the Rotatron (finished but I need approval from Devo) and a Piston (which needs to be skinned). Those will hopefully be ready tomorrow. I had some RL issues that prevented me from finishing them today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some RL issues that prevented me from finishing them today.No approval needed, all good to go as far as I can tell Sir.I also am making some pistons, but a little more unique. I was never content with the toothpicks we were using previously so I am making something more umm industrial.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
