"Sunshine" movie style Deployable Light Globe (updated 25/10/2013)

[Kreuzung]

I'm about to upload an updated version of the Vanguard Technologies plugin, but I couldn't fix the problem with starting in the "On" position. I'm just too dumb ;(

I believe it can be fixed by changing the model so that it starts in the "Off" position, though I don't know if there is a simple way to do that in unity.

But so it is starts in the "Off" position...

EDIT: The Animation is start in "Off". Default state of model (in 3D app) is "On", then in Unity in 1st frame of animation i had make it "furl" in box, then in 120 frame I got it all back in "deployed" state. it's much easier than doing the opposite

I dunno if this will work, but I think because I've seen models play an animation for no reason:

Create a 2nd animation that only contains the retracted state, then set "play automatically" to true for it. That way the model should set itself to retracted and the plugin whould handle it correctly.

[alexustas]

Kreuzung, can you post here correct config's segment of Vanguard animation's module for my Light?

[Kreuzung]

Mihara used the following, which works except for the starting issue:

MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleKrAnimation
		extendAnim = DeployableLight-10
		extendGUI = Light On
		retractGUI = Light Off
		actionGUI = Toggle Light
		EVA_Range = 5
		speed = 0.5
		state = false
		energyConsumptionExtended = 0.002
	}

Kreuzung

energyConsumptionExtended = 0.002

it seems that this function does not work in Warp. (((((( only in real-time mode

[alexustas]

UPDATE:

I did support the of new KAS version! (0.4.1)

everything works fine!!!

I've added new features

After some more testing and debugging I'll upload a new version. very soon!

Storable

Portable

Built-in cable with winch

it is more convenient to use

[Mihara]

Would you mind making a version without KAS support at all, meant to be built into the top of a 1.25m stack? I want to build it into some of my base modules.

And another bug found... did you get the animation stuff working yet BTW?

[alexustas]

Kreuzung,

Yes, i do many changes, including the initial state of the model.

the only problem with the light control module. at the moment I'm using generic 'ModuleLight' module.

You can disable the KAS modules in config file yourself, but lights meant for stack mounts would need a special design, which I'm not settled on yet.

Nice to hear that it works In my tests the lights worked without ModuleLight as well, so you might not need that.

yes, the 'ModuleKrAnimation' works pretty well, but the device does not consume resources in Warp ((

Patched the plugin again, hopefully it works now.

Thanks for the update, looking forward to using these in the new KAS lockers to build a "field landing pad".

I would like to see it!

[mrrpamplemousse]

I tried to use this thing by when it load in the game, it's looking like a KAS winch

[alexustas]

hmmm...

what version of the game?

must be v.0.21.1.0

all installed in "GameData"?

I just checked in clear copy of game. all looks fine.

[mrrpamplemousse]

I will double check

[Free Trader Beowulf]

I would like to see it!

I'll definitely post a screenshot when I get it built

Ah, I get the same thing with the new release. My version of KAS is up to date and I just downloaded the Vanguard mod for this. My version of KSP is 0.21.1.276 according to the main screen. Hurm.
