[1.0] KerbPaint - Paint layering for parts (March 30th, 2016) Community Update

[Castun]

Would it be possible to paint the flag decals onto parts? The latest update added flag decals onto some parts, but I think that's something baked into the model itself, because just adding the flag module to part configs doesn't do anything.

Is there a way to paint the strutural panels?

@tenneko, @texel are you able to help me with my problem? I very much need to continue this conversation

[Megalodon 720]

More fuel comin' up.

Praise the suuun: I wish i could help you, but I'm not a programmer. I would suggest that you start a thread here. They will most likely be able to help you more as they regularly talk about retexturing projects. You could also try and get ahold of SWDennis and see if he had similar problems making his parts. It could be you need some special settings in the config. Have you tried your modded parts with one of the shader mods that changes how KSP's lighting system works? If they work under those conditions you know it is an issue with the stock shaders. Also, all of the parts seem to be either light or dark, did you get any of the panels that were between shades? I hope something in this rambling helps you, and I say your best bet is to ask the guys in the texturing area if they have thoughts on this.

MegaLODEN 720: Nice ship,love the colors. Any chance we can get a few different angles on that?

[praise the suuun]

thanks tenneko i wasn't aware there was a forum just for texturing. if all else fails ill just use kerb paint

I have since built a new version, pics up in a minute or two.

[Megalodon 720]

Here they are (new paint job this time):

Front, top.

Tail, bottom.

[Tenneko Kazeno]

MegaLODEN 720: Again, well done on the plane.

I can't help but note how the landing gears in the tail pic stick out with them being that white color, so I'm going to see if I can get those painted finally.

[Megalodon 720]

That would help, thanks. Here's even more fuel!

Quick question: how would I get KerbPaint to be used on stuff it's not already used on, like structural panels? I notice the module is laid out like so:

@PART[stackSeparatorBig]
    {
            MODULE
        {
	        name = ModulePaintable
	        Texture = stackSeparatorBig_Paint
	        Shader = BumpSpec
        }
    }

But it is different for almost every part it's used on - some use a Diffuse shader and all use their own texture. Help?

[Gaalidas]

There is a generic texture in there somewhere. I think it's called "BaseAll_Paint" which is simply a primary color square that can be applied to any object without a specific texture. It won't respond to secondary or tertiary color settings, and may not look all that great on all parts, but it'll do the job. As for shader type, you'll just have to hope for the best and set up specific overrides if you discover a problem.

[The Carrot King]

Of all the time I spent on the forums and on spaceport I never saw this, now I can match my craft to my flag! But it makes me wonder what other awesome ideas i'm missing out on.

[Sentmassen]

So I'm trying to get Procedural Parts (formally procedural fuel tanks) to work. The former version use to work stock, but now it doesn't. I've tried a few different settings but no dice. I'm also trying to get these forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/61040-0-23-6S-Service-Compartment-Tubes-Design-smooth%21 to work with no result. The parts with animation on them seem like an endless pain in the arse.

I suppose part of the problem is I'm just stabbing in the dark. Trying different combos till maybe I stumble across something. I have the different settings I can change but I have only guesses to what they effect. Take the "specific" setting, what is that actually referring to? Specific geometry? Is there any insights you have to hunting down that setting that actually works?

Here's a couple things I built (in career mode) since getting this plugin...

[Pigbear]

is there a current link to the mod download? I have my posts per page different, so the x pages ago doesn't translate to my post per page.

[Sentmassen]

Has anyone gotten shrouds to work properly. They accept paint in then VAB but loose it on the pad.

[impwarhamer]

Hey Tenneko, could you start a separate thread for your add-ons to this mod, since it's a pain trawling back through the pages to find them.

[dec159]

This is the best mod ever!

Is there a way to make custom patterns?

Also is there a way to paint the whole craft or erase the paint on the whole craft at once.

If not this would be really useful!

[Majorjim!]

Hi!

Any chance you could make the retractable landing gear paint-able?

My WIP Batman tumbler will look awesome in black!!

please. Thank you.

Also, B9 support?

[MrUberGr]

Is there a link to download the latest version of this mod? I've tried google, and skimming through this thread unsuccesfully.

[SuperWeegee4000]

I don't think this is compatible with .23. Many of the parts that should be paintable aren't. I uninstalled Universe Replacer and it still doesn't work.

This is because not all the parts have been configured in. This mod works in a way that should make the version irrelevant. Read the first page and it will describe what it takes to add parts into the fold. Also many of the parts have been adapted by posters, you just have to read through the past pages of the forum.
