[0.22] GatlingGun mod.

[Avalant]

Cool, but how did he change the color of the bullets? I think I figured out out to adjust the firing rate and such, but what about the bullets?

[sootyboyyy]

will you upload the tank?

[alline1999]

so the bullets settings are included with the part config and most of it straight forward. but I don't see any hex code to represent the colour. and also not any number to represent the length of the bullet. those in kerbals at war 2 from the tanks looked longer. so if anyone knows how to modify those plz let me know. I am working on some orbital bombarding platform. only thing I found noting the bullet colour was in the source code and it said this. : public Color basetrail = new Color(1.0f, 0.56f, 0.0f, 0.5f);

but usually colour codes are like FFFFF for with in this example. I found that one partially resembled something to do with terrain.

[Exangels]

can anyone give their setting for "keyfire"? For thos of us who cant get this mod to work

[alline1999]

this is the part of my part config describing the keys to fire.

MODULE

{

name = DYJMachinegun

ProjectileType = bullet

//keyFire = joystick button 0

keyFire = t

BulletMass = 0.45

[Exangels]

got it to work, thanks

[The Spacemonkey]

I went to the part.cfg, changed the button to what I wanted but it didn't work. My button to shoot was tab and I don't see why this isn't working. Do you need ammo or something?

What did you use to represent Tab?

Simply typing Tab may not work, as Tab is a special key. Try something else, possibly? [0] isn't used anywhere in the base game, so it should be good.

**** YEAH! HIGH FIVE!!!!

Ok, so I have folowed the instructions to the letter. I have it installed under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\DYJmisc, my part.cfg looks like this:

I press "p" in game and it still will not fire. Any suggestions?

I've tried what you said but it still doesn't work. <-- Sad face. Just someone give me a full tutorial on this already!!

[Matzenino]

I've got the same Problem.

The Debugger says the following when I place it in on my plane:

[Exception]: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

whelp?

[PhoenixStar117]

How do I fire the weapon?

I tried "t" but that just activates the SAS and does not do anything with the gun what so ever. Also it can not be assigned to a Control Group... What am I doing wrong?

[Exangels]

make sure u only have latest version installed

I deleted the //keyfire then changed the "keyfire" keybind to [0]

[Matzenino]

Still not working.

I've even installed a second clean installation of KSP.

[CreEpeRneSs125]

MODULE

{

name = DYJMachinegun

ProjectileType = bullet

//keyFire = z <<<<<

keyFire = z <<<<<

BulletMass = 0.45

BulletDrag = 0.03

BulletPower = 120

RocketPower = 10

recoilreductionfactor = 0.007

fireRate = 0.08

lackofkrakensbanontrailrendererscompensation = 0.1

rotationSpeed = 1200

isGatling = true

heatProduction = 800

ProjectileFileLoc = Parts/DYJgau19/Bullet/

CasingFileLoc = Parts/DYJgau19/Casing/

}

it worked for me because both of the keyfires were set to the same key which worked for me ^

[teamleader14]

could you tell me how you managed to work the gatling gun mod when i followed the instructions on your post and still i didn't work?

[Mekan1k]

I cannot get it to work either.

[UAL002]

Hasn't worked for me since the post was new.

EDIT: No one has mentioned this in the initial post. Hope this helps.

This is awesome! It would be nice if he could develop a laser that is just, a laser (A laser pointer in other words), so that i could know where or at what object it is pointing at.

[elind21]

how do you change the bullet range? i need a longer range bullet for a "Kerbal at War" cinematic redux

[alline1999]

you have to change it in the source just like the bullet colour witch I haven't figured how to do yet.

[Spookydude3]

Is there another way I can change the to keyfire t without changing the part cfg because my computer can't download any programs that can change cfg files

[CrayzeeMonkey]

You can actually edit the CFG file with notepad. To open it with notepad right click the CFG file, then hover your mouse over "Open with.." then click "Choose default program" then select notepad, then click OK, if Notepad isn't in the menu click Browse and go to the directory of notepad and click on the exe file that runs notepad, if you cant find a file that runs notepad you probably dont have notepad, you can use other text editors too.

(Tested in Windows Vista/7 OS)

PS: Notepad ++ is awesome

Awesome mod, as always DYJ.

I noticed the gun weighs a ton. According to General Dynamics, the Gau-19 has a mass of 106 lbs, which translates to ~0.053 tons. I would suggest to change the mass to this value, otherwise it's cool. (although, with ammunition, it's maybe more like 0.1 tons)

Anyone who plays with Deadly Reentry should halve the heat production though, as only burst of 1 sec are possible before the gun melts otherwise.
