problemecium Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Install MechJeb.Didn't help for me :\ It seemed just crazy enough that it just might work, so I tried it, but it actually made it worse - it crashed immediately upon entering the VAB.

smart013 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 After the 24.1 update, all the fuel tank attachment nodes are way off, either deep inside, or well outside the parts. Anyone else having this issue?Same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleDavidJeans Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I guess KW didn't like the competition it was getting from Kerbodyne on its 3.75m parts, so they decided to one-up on them with the 5.00m parts. Good job KW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raziel420 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Having issues with crashes on my x64 install. As soon as it loads up a save or new game i get a crash and logs. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwafOVjmId3YQzMwOUdHMVF2RXM/edit?usp=sharingOnly happens when KW Rocketry is installed :/ Edited July 26, 2014 by raziel420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creat Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Don't know if it's a problem with KSP or the KW parts, but the .24.2 update makes the flags that are placed on KW fuel tanks display through the tanks, as if the tanks were invisible.I already had that with 0.24.0 and .1, but never could reproduce it reliably. Even with the same parts on the same ship, it just wouldn't happen again for some reason. But yes, I've also seen this, but no clue what's causing it. My guess is that it's a stock bug, as it only happens occasionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostOblivion Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I'm having problems with this version of KW Rocketry as it won't let me load old crafts (from 0.23.5) that are in flight. I have updated all my mods to their newest version with the exception of KW Rocketry from 2.5.6b to 2.6c. Once I upgrade to KW Rocketry 2.6c, the the game hangs and I only get a frame every 1 minute or so when loading these crafts. I searched for differences in the logs for when loading the crafts with 2.5.6b and 2.6c and I noticed these two messages that were new and caused exceptions (I've highlighted what I think is wrong):[WRN 16:51:01.184] PartModule is null.[WRN 16:51:01.191] [Part]: PartModule indexing mismatch at KW2mengineSPS, index 0.[COLOR=#ff0000]Node 'ModuleEngines' found in loaded data, but 'ModuleEnginesFX' is defined in prefab.Looking for ModuleEngines in other indices...[ERR 16:51:01.191] ...no ModuleEngines module found on part definition.

Skipping...Is there any issues with the sudden change of the SPS to use monoprop? I'm gonna replace that particular engine with the 2.5.6b one and see if that helps.Also the KW1mengineVestaVR1 seems to log the same thing, but this one does not produce an exception.I hope this is fixable as it is the only thing keeping me from playing 0.24.2 at the moment. :/Other than this, I love the mod! Good work! Edit:I replaced the folders 2mSPS and 1mVestaVR1 with the ones from 2.5.6b and that fixed all problems for me. It's probably like this for all KW Rocketry engines then since I only had those two on the craft I wanted to load.Is there any way this can be fixed by you, or is there no way you can make the new version backwards compatible? If not, is there a workaround? Parhaps I can edit my save to make it use configs from the new version?

RedAV8R Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) LostOblivion, let me get this right...you want to use your previous 0.23.5 save in 0.24.2 with old craft to boot??? Not going to reliably happen, and KW won't support that as the SPS engine is now fueled with MonoPropellant. KW is now using ModuleEnginesFX...SO MANY CHANGES all the way around...tough...gonna have to restart all over.This isn't a bug, this you have too wild imagination to believe you can simply 'upgrade' and keep playing what you have already done.

This is the only mod so far that hasn't worked with my save, but yes, maybe I've been lucky so far. It's not "wild imagination" to be wanting to continue playing with what you spent hours making, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm not gonna restart KSP every time there is an update...My point is that I am willing to fiddle with my save if that's what it takes, and if I understand correctly all I have to do is update the partmodules in my persistance file.

SessoSaidSo Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I'm still wondering about the 5m Titan V...the description calls it an upperstage engine but there is no fairing for it...just wondering if im mossing something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I'm still wondering about the 5m Titan V...the description calls it an upperstage engine but there is no fairing for it...just wondering if im mossing something...Did you install the NoAutoShroudConfigs extra? If so, there is an actual part for it that you can attach manually.If you didn't and you just installed the basic version then some mod must be conflicting or you're doing something wrong because it has an automatic fairing.

Guest Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I'm still wondering about the 5m Titan V...the description calls it an upperstage engine but there is no fairing for it...just wondering if im mossing something...It has no autoshroud since it's based on Saturn V second stage. There should be a separate interstage shroud part for it, which you could also attach ullage motors to. This is to allow Saturn V-style dual-plane separation.

somnambulist Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Has anyone else noticed the broken particle effects on KW engines? Any idea whats causing it?By broken you mean that they're on all the time or are perpindicular to the engine? It's a conflict with Hot Rockets. Delete the KW cfg from Hot Rockets.

Delete the KW cfg from Hot Rockets.No, by broken, I mean broken. As in they aren't being rendered correctly. They're rendering as a stream of rotating colored lines when I look at my rockets from below when launching for instance (when they're supposed to be images of some sort). Seems to depend on the angle. Has absolutely nothing to do with hotrockets. Where did you even infer that from....Is this perhaps a problem with the x64 KSP version?EDIT: Negatory, the particles are still appearing very strangely on x86 version as well. Bleh.

Citizen Joe Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Alright. I figured out what the issue is. Just want to inform people that some of the KW Rocketry particle effects (the ones for the small engines it seems) break when texture replacer is installed.BEHOLD! Kinda odd that it only seems to be KWHeres a log of that flight if anyone is interested. Sorry there are other mods in there (was troubleshooting something else when i came across this) but this is TR causing it. It seems to make the particle use a specific flag texture for some reason. Will update if I find anything else. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9aeau3lklq4rxub/KSP.log Edited July 26, 2014 by Citizen Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentGunner13 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I have to say that KW is a great mod, but I was really excited for the petal adapter. Its just not long enough! Sure you can take a lander with a capsule, a small fuel tank, a small engine and a couple of legs, but good luck taking any more than that. The docking port goes into the engine above and docks to it and also shrouds it so it not only looks stupid, but doesn't work properly. If the 3.5m section of the adapter was a bit longer I could fit my lander in there no problem. But right now I can't take any additional RCS, science experiments or engines longer than my toenail. Anything that does makes the node attach to the engine above and render the whole thing redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fix is the delete the files in TextureReplacer/Default/FX, I think it is.. or just get rid of the FX folder entirely, not sure where it is. If you want awesome exhausts, use HotRockets instead.
