determinationmaster Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 is this a new mod, or a expansion of the older one?

Hopefully the models will still work and the textures will only need mild editing to use the PBR stuff. I think that those are just stand-ins for the real parts, but i hope they keep an updated version of the old mk 1-3, because i think they ruined it in a recent update with the teeny tiny windows...

This is an update which will add parts in the 1.875m and 5m part diameters. It also includes retextures of many "old" parts that were already in the mod.

Nertea Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Some early IVA work on the tuna can flat hab: On that note I am toying with the idea of making IVAs into an Extras feature to help with memory usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A NearFuture Spaces folder? Or bundled into the NearFutureProps folder? It is a good idea! TBH I only use part mods that include IVAs so how would you have the IVAs work if someone didnt install them? That isnt just for visuals but to find where kerbals are in space stations and such. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I only use part mods that include IVAs so how would you have the IVAs work if someone didnt install them? That isnt just for visuals but to find where kerbals are in space stations and such. Peace. One thing I've seen done for parts without proper IVAs is to just create a solid black IVA cube inside the part and place the kerbals in there. That way you can at least see their portraits. When mods don't include any IVA at all then the Kerbal portraits won't show up, which is annoying. I've also seen mods reuse existing IVAs from other parts, the Mk3 passenger module could be a stand-in for anything less than16 kerbals. 35 minutes ago, Nertea said: Some early IVA work on the tuna can flat hab: On that note I am toying with the idea of making IVAs into an Extras feature to help with memory usage. Loving it. This looks to be more of a living area, in contrast to the sleeping quarters focus on the PXL-2 Shelter (flat 3.75 hab)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the new IVAs in this update splitting things like this would literally cut the memory usage in half. 11 hours ago, TBenz said: Loving it.

Uh yes the crew cabins are on the bigger hab which is also in a WIP state but slowly getting done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liftoff with a 3.75m rocketOrbital insertionMinmar injection When low minmar orbit is reached, everything gets deployed and the kerbals are transfered to the lab. The station has 3 normal experiments and 1 scansat. When all the science has been taken, the station brings itself and the capsule out of minmar orbit and back to low kerbin orbit before transfering the two kerbals to the descent module and undocking. Since I obviously forgot parachutes, a different spacecraft will hopefully come rescue them Looks amazing! Just curious, do you play with the stock solar system or something bigger like JNSQ?

At the time I was playing with JNSQ yeah, then since Ad Astra is not supported for 1.11 and the clouds in stock JNSQ are not much impressive I had to switch back to the normal system size to install visual mods (spectra in my case) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrelated, but it's kind of odd: I don't know what you did, but the reply thing seems to have wonked out. The thing you replied to that it says was from me, wasn't something I wrote, it was the quote I was replying to in my own post.

And this is my actual reply that I wrote from that post: On 5/19/2021 at 10:43 AM, GigFiz said: That's a fair point, and probably best to try and keep expectations low enough to give them room to surpass them; but they keep pushing the release back, and now they are getting more/new artists; so we can maaaaaybe play optimist a little and hope that it will better (and hopefully full awesome /fingerscrossed) by the final release (whatever decade that may be). And if not....well, It'll give Nert more to do . Though, really, I'd be super sad if we didn't get any Nert mods for KSP 2 Wasn't trying to get off topic, just never seen that happen before. On topic: holy hell, Nert; those IVAs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy, it's time for it to retire so I can stop wasting time fixing game breaking updates. So here is the science lab. It is different and interesting! Has a lot of exposed facility space to add experiments to.
