[0.21.x] Somnambulic Aerospace -- KW Rocketry+ Optimization Pack v0.1.1 -- 15 Aug 13

It may sound stupid but can I trim parts down (like the fairings) if I don't need them.

[KerbMav]

Deleting parts should pose no danger to anything.

Generally yes. You will run into issues if you want to, say, delete the 1.25m parts but keep

The 2.5 and 3.75m versions. If you look at my CFG you can see which parts are using which models and textures.

Probably be a good idea to make a backup of your save just in case.

[DragonRoco]

Thanks guys deleting the parts that I didn't need caused no problems.

[Deep silence]

Thanks a lot for the KWRocketery optimisation!

[LameLefty]

Thanks for this; I love the KW Rocketry pack and use it a lot but it's a memory hog. This optimization ought to really help!

[Stone Blue]

So any update on using this with Sarbian's extension, or just still go with the copy/paste of the .cfg code on page 5?

Follow the cfg on page 5 for now. I don't think Sarbian ever got around to looking into the issue.

The optimisation and some liberal weeding of redundant/unused parts made a big difference for me. I still have to go through and make sure none of my older designs are using the inline decouplers. They're a consistent cause of pogo oscillations on my high-thrust rockets.

So I merged the Gamdata folder with the one in KSP, the parts load, but when I go in VAB, there is nothing. Not even partcatalog reconizes it.

Can you put a copy of your log up somewhere??

[The Destroyer]

You mean the KSP.txt? Okay I'll do that.

EDIT: Oh, it's a .log, but I open it with notepad.

Anyway ,here it is

Oomph you're running a lot of mods. I'll be able to look into this later this evening (at work right now). Just scanning through the log file, it looks like KW Rocketry might not be installed. I'm not seeing any load statements for KW models or textures, just the dummy versions I'm using as overrides.

Also, the game is throwing lots of "Skipped rendering frame ..." errors. That's usually the result of alt-tabbing out of KSP while it's loading and can cause weird game issues. Read here to avoid that problem -- http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/20894-KSP-in-full-screen-windowed-mode!-quick-n-simple-(windows-only)

[The Destroyer]

The skipped rendering frame never seems to bother me, and i've never had this problem.

Also,

I'm actually runnig quite little mods, I recently cleaned it up. Used to have 777 parts.

[The Destroyer]

So, any idea what's causing this?

[somnambulist]

Sorry got stuck at work much longer than I expected yesterday. I did have time to dig through the log file and it looks like the original KW assets aren't getting loaded at all. I know it sounds stupid but did you do a full install of KW Rocketry first? Even if something broke module manager, you'd still expect to seethe game loading the remaining contents of KWRocketry.

[CaelReader]

Does the current version of KW+ work with the new KW update?

[Guest]

It's not needed anymore, the latest update essentially introduced KW+ to the "mainstream" KW.

[Prowler_x1]

Does the current version of KW+ work with the new KW update?

I'm guessing a "not yet but soon", as an obvious answer.

[Jivaii]

No need, as the new KW is optimized already.

[Xzabath]

Thanks for the specialized kw updating while we waited for the official update, I noticed a huge difference in load times and much less crashy. Thanks again.
