[Airships in 1.12.3] HooliganLabs Mods

[Deathsoul097]

The Panels are B9, and it looks like the Sunbeam Lazor is on there as well.

[JewelShisen]

Where can I find these parts?

The airship envelope on top is the only part in this mod. the rest appear to be B9 and Romfarer parts.

Part of B9. Was modes which are namely of those parts of the site. I found it here.

Two requests:

1: What does the license say about reskins? The stock textures are...not so hot. While I'm going to make a reskin for my own personal use regardless, I want to know if I can share it.

2: Is there a remote chance of improving the deflated envelopes so they're a bit less chunky and so they actually fit stock 1.25 and 2.5m fuselages? A fully remodeled base would be nice, but realistically just making everything thinner and slightly smaller would be good too

Once I can get the hang of animating parts I will start trying to make new airship parts that will fit better with both stock and KW sized parts.

As for the reskin I would prefer that you not share it until I can get a look but there is nothing in the license that would stop you.

I'd obviously check with you first (and make sure the HL octopus is somewhere on each of the reskins ). I'd love to help out with textures since it's one of the few useful things I'm good at--I have a draft texture for the probe envelope at this point though it still needs some tweaking.

Some more questions:

-The Una and Ray envelopes use .mbm textures, yes? Is there a way (on my end) to change them to accept .pngs or .tgas?

-Is there anything in particular I can do to help out with textures (after you've seen my work, obviously)?

Sadly the textures are set in Unity so I would have to remake the parts to have them accept .pngs (I think. You can try though)

Used the mod and I'm currently ballooning on Eve.

That is really cool. Love the part about hitting the brick wall. If you don't mind I am going to add this on the wiki in a new page just for full missions like this one.

Just a silly idea, but I thought I'd let it go and see if it floats. Is it possible to apply a 3D thrust vector to the balloon, loosely based on current coordinates (like Kethane's hexagonal grid) and later on, balloon altitude?

This would provide a simulation of the wind blowing us around, up and down. Nice breeze coming from the west over KSC, great up draft over the desert, etc. We could use a different dataset for each planet with an atmosphere, I am sure Eve would get much more interesting.

That may be possible but it would require a rewrite of the code base and that is FAR beyond my level. So I will keep that idea in mind but for now code changes are not going to be done.

That's one of my very old airships (you can tell by the old 88-88 dish on the back). If I remember correctly, I used:

• B9 - most structural components
  
• Firespitter - folding electric propellers on the back
  
• The Sunbeam laser - for navigation, believe it or not - I tend not to bother with it any more
  
• Navlights - no longer needed due to expansion of B9 light systems
  
• KSPX - now pretty much defunct due to the new SAS system and the addition of parts to the stock game
  
• HL -obviously
  
• 
  

Here's some of my more recent crafts built with my most recent mod selection

It's possible to change the textures detailed in the .mu with a simple Hex editor

There's a few texture converter utilities knocking about on the forums to convert the existing textures into something easier to work with, and regarding changing those parts to accept other textures, what I suggested to JewelShisen above would work.

Hope that helps

I use KSPX quite a lot. The last release dropped some parts which had been added to the stock game, but other items such as the smaller reaction wheels are still very useful.

Do the quantum struts work in 0.23??

Just need to add them to the tech tree if you're wanting them in career mode

A nose cone shaped Air Envelope for use with FAR!

I LOVE YOU! Will this include all envelopes? Is self balance possibly in the future? =D

Not yet. This is a test case at the moment and once I can get it to work it will be replacing the Una and Ray parts.

Awesome. Can't wait to start using HL stuff in my youtube series (episode 1 is uploading now, but Youtube is being slow)

Well would you be willing to help me test it?

[Jivaii]

Certainly. I'll probably find some strange way to use it though (Like a primary launch stage made up of octo envelopes)

Alright. I mostly need help setting the node and then getting the lift set right. I'll PM you a link to the part once I have that done.

[Jivaii]

And I will respond with pictures galore. Do you want 1920x1080 or 5100x1000?

LOL

1920x1080 would be best for the website.

[Jivaii]

I love tripping people out with my 5100x1000 images though. 1920x1080 it is =) I await at KSC for delivery of the part from KerbEX.
