[WIP] Magic Smoke Industries Animator

[Climberfx]

The Legs are great, but i still miss a KSP like fit (textures at least)

But, it's only my opinion.

Good Work!

Quick little update. Since I added sound to Infernal Robotics I will be adding sound to the Animator plugin. Huzzah!

[Jahulath]

This looks awesome! Ksp is well in need of more moving and animated parts. Do you have a list of commands available? I am making an elevator and have it working perfectly with a combination of Firespitter and Infernal Robotics, actually using the one from docking washers

There's a lot that could be done with a plugin that combines the two of those, fixed animations are all well and good but they are rare movements in real world - most machinery works in the IR way

As you can imagine I am keep to get my hands on this...

[LaydeeDem]

Fantastic plugin you have here! Do you think it's possible to have the animator controlled by the amount of a resource in a craft?

Eventually sure. Right now we just want to get the parts out and have people enjoy them. I'll have to come up with a way to consume electricity.

[Kurld]

How is this going? Being able to level things on uneven ground would be really nice.

[Helix935]

has this been Abandoned?

[sirkut]

No just been on hold until I get parts from Devo. I've been spending time actually playing the game for a change. It will come out shortly.

[sirkut]

Devo is back from a break so we are gearing up to release the parts pack and the animator plugin. Should be ready in the next few days! Here is a teaser shot of the claw doing some work. What makes the animator plugin special is we now can build fully functional claws without having to build it in pieces. The claw you see is one self contained part.

using rollkage(front wheels,cabin, rtg engine), Catepillar (tank tracks), Infernal Robotics (lots of things), B9 (flat platform, headlights), Alchemy Technologies Modular Girder (rail & counterweights), KAS (winch) and lastly soon to be released MSI Animator (the claw!)

Can pick up the Soyuz capsule.

[sirkut]

[KhaosCorp]

Glad to see yall back at it..made me smile to see how excited Devo was in his thread that the load bug is gone =)

Also....hahahaha how many kerbals can the claw pick up at once...muhahah

also Also, the Soyuz is little all in one single seat lander, part of Bobcats SovietPack.

LMAO I just read back though and realised I've checked for this release most days since August... I really need to get out more.

[sirkut]

I hear ya. I'm the same way with some other mods.

[Helix935]

uhh it has been around 2 weeks and has it finished?

Life has a funny way of getting in the way, mostly on my end. I apologize for the wait.

[Beowolf]

Anyone else notice the list of "you might also like..." videos at the end of that first video? It's all leg-toning exercises. Made me LOL.

Looking forward to this mod. I've been doing it with IR telescoping pistons, but they aren't as flexible nor as shock absorbing as landing legs.

[Helix935]

Any Progress?

[sirkut]

Devo has been busy with real life so it's still in development. I could release the plugin, provide information on how you can configure any part with animation to use the plugin but I'm unsure of going that route just yet.

[drtedastro]

We will see it when it is ready... Thanks sirkut and devo... always great getting ready to have some toys from you two....
