[WIP] Bahamuto Dynamics (Dockable Fairings) 11/5/13

[Jivaii]

If these were to get worked on and added to your part pack...you'd get so many followers...or I should say, zealots, wanting to carry your children.

[Contagano]

These are awesome! anyone know if they work in .25?

[Gaalidas]

Carry children? Why would anyone want to do that?

Build a giant robot to carry the children? Now we're talking!

I'm sure they all work in 0.25, though I noticed the landing thing with the 4 engine mounts that has integrated RCS and whatnot likes to visually clog up the editor space with all of its nozzles emitting their particles full blast.

[ABZB]

If anyone's interested, here's some MM to add DRE functionality to the docking ports (the heat shield only functions when they are closed):

@PART[bahaPortClosed|bahaPortClosed2]
{	
	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleHeatShield
		direction = 0, -1, 0 // bottom of shield (part that opens up)
		reflective = 0.20 // 20% of heat is ignored at correct angle (when closed)
	}

	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleAnimation2Value
		animationName = deployShield
		valueModule = ModuleHeatShield
		valueName = reflective
		valueCurve
		{
			key = 0.0 0.20 0.0 0.0 //shield is closed
			key = 0.5 0.05 0.0 0.0 //shield is opening
			key = 1.0 0.0001 0.0 0.0 //shield is fully opened, no protection (I gave it a small positive value (shields 1/100th of 1 percent - to forestall possibility of bugs involving a reflective value of 0))
		}
	}
}
@PART[bahaPortOpen]
{
	//reversed from closed model
	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleHeatShield
		direction = 0, -1, 0
		reflective = 0.0001
	}

	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleAnimation2Value
		animationName = deployShield
		valueModule = ModuleHeatShield
		valueName = reflective
		valueCurve
		{
			key = 0.0 0.0001 0.0 0.0
			key = 0.5 0.05 0.0 0.0
			key = 1.0 0.20 0.0 0.0
		}
	}
}

Downloading the Mk1-2 Propulsion System!

[FellipeC]

I'm very happy with Mk1-2 Propulsion System. Just need to update its configs for .25

[Horus]

How could I miss these really nice parts...

[Arron Rift]

How could I miss these really nice parts...

I know, I just stumbled upon them recently myself!

How are they coming by the way?

[AngelLestat]

Nobody wants with BahamutoD permission maintain this mod?

Looks awesome, It seems like a waste leave it die.

It would be a shame to see this die.

I can easily update the node definitions on the parts and do the config edits to be able to load the parts in game... but if the animations or functionality come from a broken DLL... well I'd need source code to look at to even think about trying to support it. Baha is still active in the forums, and recently updated some of his other parts packs, so for now I'm content to wait and see if he'll come back to these parts. Maybe the DLL from Adjustable Landing Gear will work with Dockable Fairing?

I'll throw up a quick test jig and report back.

Edit:

All the parts seem to work*, animations seem to be using stock animation module, no dependencies.

*I did have to fix some of the node_stack_bottom configurations to account for KSP 1.0.2's strict node orientation.

Also ABZB's post a few pages ago regarding DRE functionality would be a good addition for those that plan to use DRE in their 1.0.x games.

The Mk1-2 propulsion skirt needed a fair amount of repair, and both it and the engine required some updates to accommodate the new career and thermal systems, but I've made a hotfix patch that seems to do the job:

@PART[InlineEngine2]
{
    @module = Part
    -animationName = outdated

    //why have sound effects when there aren't any engines?
    -sound_vent_medium = engage
    -sound_rocket_hard = running
    -sound_vent_soft = disengage


    @node_stack_bottom = 0, -1.5, 0, 0, -1, 0, 2
    entryCost = 5000
    @maxTemp = 2000
    @mass = 0.8
    bulkheadProfiles = size2
    TechRequired = commandModules
    @stackSymmetry = 4

    MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleAnimateGeneric
        animationName = Extend
        startEventGUIName = Extend legs
        endEventGUIName = Retract legs
        switchAnim = false
        isOneShot = False
    }

    @RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]
    {
        @amount = 270
        @maxAmount = 270
    }

    @RESOURCE[Oxidizer]
    {
        @amount = 330
        @maxAmount = 330
    }
}

@PART[divertingThruster]
{
    entryCost = 5500
    @maxTemp = 2000
    skinInternalConductionMult = 4.0
    emissiveConstant = 0.8 // engine nozzles are good at radiating.
    bulkheadProfiles = size0
    TechRequired = propulsionSystems

    @MODULE[ModuleEngines]
    {
        -ehxaustDamage = misspelled
        exhaustDamage = true

        @atmosphereCurve
        {
            key = 7 0.001 // One more key.
        }
    }
}

Hi there, I'd also love to see this updated to the current version. Or are there any alternatives to make a 2.5m capsule work a bit like the Dragon V2?

[Albert VDS]

It's an old thread, so sorry for posting in it. But does anyone have a copy of the bahamutoD-dockingRingsv0.2.1.zip ? The link in the first post seems to be gone.
