[Bluejay0013]

Did you get the VNG plugin ? http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/25305-1-0-Vanguard-Technologies-EVA-parachutes-still-works

yes, that's one of my essentials for KSP, would you mind telling me where to put the patch, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Yep seen that the plugin is broke will have to wait and hope it gets fixed.

ok, because I was really hoping for something like this for aircraft and space craft alike.

Emissive version of this would really really really good...

The plugin is broke right now.

Need to update!

Need to update!

What ? Last time checked the new VanguardTechnologies plugin still don't work.

[alexustas]

I do not upgrade this mod because I still wait VanguardTechnologies to upgrade. I’ll update it when it’ll happen. Most likely I’ll make a separate variant of the mod that will work on the stock lightning module and make a CKAN integration.

hopefully soon, if at all possible, but no rush though. Good luck:D

Works mostly fine for me after a few little tweaks to the plugin

@alexustas: I think there's something different wrt 0.90 to 1.0 with the lights' culling masks on the parts. If I don't set them to -1 in the plugin module then the lights will not emit onto the world, only on other parts. Setting that to -1 is why Jeb's bombarded with bright colored light in the IVA in my screenshot, I imagine. I know nothing about Unity's layers, so messing with the culling mask was a wild guess and stab in the dark.

[Mecripp]

It's a start

[Bluejay0013]

Or Jeb is having a rave in his pod?

Just finished a little plugin to get some glow on with these in 1.0.2, here: https://github.com/6forty/EmissiveLight

Source, license, plugin, all there. Plugin DLL is in the "build" folder. In part configs, just replace ModuleLight with ModuleEmissiveLight, move emissiveName into that module, and remove the ModuleKrLightColor block. Default colors can be set with lightR/lightG/lightB just like the stock ModuleLight parts. Uses stock tweakables ingame to set light colors, and they've been made visible in flight.

Use BULB Mod for RGB Lights. Works nice!

I was unable to get any color change with your module. The lights turn on, but stay white no matter what. here is the changes I made to one of the parts. I then dropped you dll into the same folder to keep it all together.

MODULE 
{
    name = ModuleEmissiveLight
    emissiveName = SIL0225DCLS
    useAnimationDim = true
    lightBrightenSpeed = 2.5
    lightDimSpeed = 2.5
    animationName = SIL0225turnON
    resourceAmount = 0.0015
    useResources = true
}

    animationName = SIL0225turnON
    resourceAmount = 0.0015
    useResources = true
}

Was it spamming null reference exceptions to your log? lightName is missing and emissiveName is wrong, so the code probably choked on itself. I suppose it wouldn't be a bad idea to have some error handling. Try this for the config:

MODULE
{
    name = ModuleEmissiveLight
    lightName = SIL0225DCLS
    useAnimationDim = true
    lightBrightenSpeed = 2.5
    lightDimSpeed = 2.5
    animationName = SIL0225turnON
    resourceAmount = 0.0015
    useResources = true

    emissiveName = light_geo
    lightR = 0.8
    lightG = 0.85
    lightB = 1.0
}

All the fields for the original ModuleLight are left in place, only added the bottom four to it.

Thanks for that

The Bulb mod sort of works, but only on the stack rings not the lighted docking ports, but they don't really connect properly anyway

In case anyone tried the Bulb mod and was wondering why the colour don't change, you have to change the colour then save and load it as a preset.

still hoping for an update on this mod to fix the various issues.

So you mean it "probably" no longer require Vanguard after the update? I'll wait for that : )

I prefer this than slapping tiny radial lights on my craft.

I don't know about the Vanguard dependency, but I'm running Stack Inline Lights without that. The parts themselves won't change color, but the lights do. I'm fine with it!

Thank you so much for the effort, Kolago. Have some rep!

I didn't notice there is a superb workaround for this mod already. Work fine for me. I don't really mind the culling though, looks like all stock lights in 1.0.2 act the same way. Appreciate your great work and also the dll : )

Hi there,

I was just wondering if this fantastic mod will be updated for 1.0.4... I really enjoyed building stations with these devices back in 0.9

[Vas]

Is this going to be CKAN compatible at some point so I can stop manually installing it?

EDIT: It appears this doesn't work in 1.0, the bottom can not connect to anything. So it is an end point connection only, no longer "in line" because even if you flip it, that means only the top (now bottom) can connect and the other side is useless. I'm not sure what's causing this.

This is due to a change in the node behavior from .90 to 1.0.x to fix this open the cfg for the affected part and look for the lines:

node_stack_top = 0.0, 4.442, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0
node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -4.442, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0

 

And change them to:

node_stack_top = 0.0, 4.442, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0
node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -4.442, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0

 

The highlighted lines are the direction the node is facing. Invert the bottom one by adding a " - " infront of it.

And likewise if the top node has a " - " infront of it remove it. and poof. node's fixed for 1.0.x compatibility
