[x.xx] WinkAllKerb' Parts medley (nestable part concept + a few *.cfg here and there)

[WinkAllKerb'']

[0.22] "WaLiKe" parts set Spaceport initial release

For now 21 parts, some are very simple main purpose was to test functionnality within blender/unity/*.cfg, this is mainly groundwork. (i'll upgrade them when i ll be done with all basic things i'll want to be able to manage for later plans) more info

Enjoy, all comments and suggestions welcome (especially looking for "in flight" + lag return

Edit: o.23

+ Brainstorming with mesh/textures sharing,collider,welding+procedural overall heading and design of the set. All parts should be considered as ground work, not recommended for perma saves.

nothing special noticed yet with 0.23

++ infos & 0.23

[Sigma52]

this working okay in .23??

Love the concept!

...though using chipboard is a bit daring even by kerbal safety standards.

[WinkAllKerb'']

yop,

nope 0.23 not seem to impact at all on what work and what don't with the parts. I keep testing a few functionnality i want to integrate (especially wheels) and improve the one already in.

Mainly focusing the geometry splitting and variations of some mesh regarding welding & modularity with squad symetry/asymetry standards.

...though using chipboard is a bit daring even by kerbal safety standards.

+1, just enough not to hurt to much eyes while testing some other things, currently in a KevinKraft state, but yup i put more interest in the concept behind (somwhere in an 'antichamber') than what it look like for now

(a bit brainwashed by irl so dunno at all when it will come)

I quite like the idea of slot-able modules. Utter awesomeness. So thank you for your effort.

No major is issues using .23. Only trouble so far was gathering science from the slotted goo and materials lab modules during EVA. Adding this after 'FXModules = 0' line in their respective .cfg files was an easy fix:

	dataIsCollectable = True
	collectActionName = Collect Data
	interactionRange = 1.2

I assume it could already be in the works, but having the doors for both the habitat and slotted parts open-able on EVA would be very handy.

And I hate to nitpick, but I will anyways, the 9 second long animation on opening slotted doors feels just a bit too long. 2 to 3 seconds would be my suggestion.

Regardless, this is one mod I'll be anticipating as it progresses. Great job!

+1 101% planned, watching squad/modder moves regarding this, secretly hoping for a "tweakable" param aplliable to large range of device for this instead of an additionnal plugin for now, (for some eva "device" activation).

the 9 second long animation on opening slotted doors feels just a bit too long. 2 to 3 seconds would be my suggestion.

yep true true, got a lot of things in mind regarding door(s)/others animations, time-rescaling them /rearanging keyframes is easily doable.

Still got to focus irl atm. (but most of the part side groundwork is done so shouldn't be a matter at all to produce a big update pretty quick when irl is "fixed"). Chears.

Could we get a .23 compatible release that integrates into the tech tree? THis is pretty much waht I was looking for for a mun base - but I play career

It's been part of the tech tree since 0.22....

[TheTom]

Nice. This is a part I really missed - the whole pack. I am setting up a base and the standard stuff is not so nice - thanks a lot. Please keep things going. Maybe a modeller can provide help. I would love some tunnel and more and larger modules - maybe some long term habitat (2-3 times the size of the one in stock with same capacity) GREAT stuff. THanks a lot.

[Helix935]

will this keep going?

and yes i know that the last post was only 3 days ago

[WinkAllKerb'']

will this keep going?

Delayed, watching for update/modding tools stabilization curve i made enough various modding test to know @ witch rate i can produce the stuff i want.

When the above will fit the effort i want to put into modding...

Presently a bit AFKSP, but still around.

Good news \o/

Btw, the spaceport download is down, can you please provide another? :V

Win!

I've avoided the full sized claw because I've heard it can cause unexpected world-ending events (or something similarly inconvenient) when used on the surface for fuel transfer. Does this have the same problem? I don't have the details on the original problem, if this has the same issues are there a couple of do's and don'ts to avoid ending the universe?

[WinkAllKerb'']

This is just gamedata/squad/ model{...} directory call of a single model with a rescale, so yes i "guess" it has the same issue if you're not in the active vessel while linking.

http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Advanced_Grabbing_Unit

"Non-active AGU bug

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Shortly after attachment

It is possible to break the game by connecting to a claw, so that it's not the active vessel. Kerbin disappears as soon as the claw connects and the physics is broken as the craft starts to fall even in orbit.[2] It is possible that just the terrain disappears if it's possible to switch to another craft in time. Danny2462 made a video about this bug where he used two claws where one Kerbal is attached to the active claw, but the Kerbal and the claw on the active craft are not necessary.[3]

To avoid this behaviour the player should switch to the craft with the claw before connection.

This error seems related to the existence of script references to no longer existent game objects (i.e. the object that existed prior to docking to it with an AGU). The error can be duplicated with no Advanced Grabbing Unit present in visual range by utilizing the Remote Tech mod. For example if a station with a comm link is connected to a satellite and something is attached to the satellite with an AGU, the target reference of the station's antenna will no longer be valid. This induces the same bug causing the station to plummet to the planet below if time acceleration is attempted."
