[0.15] Advanced Decoupler (6/20/2012)

[StrayEagle]

So pretty much, if I use this, I have to make sure my rocket is out of the way of the decoupler before doing anything?

Um, idk. Can't say ive done extensive testing on it, but it seems to be as you decouple. so waiting wont really change anything.....it might have been a lack of SAS modules on my part, but it seemed to yaw more then the normal one.

If someone could test and confirm this that would be awesome.

Could you please upload a video or a saved ship? I can't reproduce it.

I downloaded the file, then moved it from the downloads folder into the part folder, selected the map with 7-zip and unpacked the folder into the parts folder. Then I removed the zipped folder. I regularly use other mods, so I dont understand why this wouldnt. (The way it dosent work is that the game dosent load)

What version are you using?

And with what version was the addon developed with?

[Legoasaurus]

I officially love that decoupler more than this next emoticon:

Had to replace the game due to some mods not being extracted right, but I'll try.

I guess it was just a glitch I was having. Here's the ship, though. It uses the Hikimori liquid engine located here:

I believe that glitch was just my computer. Other than that, it's worked wonderfully so far.

I see all these awesome parts to try and i wont be home for another 7 hours. This is gonna make the day go by so slowly. Damn good job BTW. Cant wait to get home and try this out.

I really like the decoupler, but the red/black color stripe just...seems so out of place.

I would like it more if it kind of fit the yellow/black stripe theme of the other decoupler.

[TempestGod]

I love all these parts you got. REALLY love the decoupler though. Very nice job

Here is a yellow version: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6228295/quabits_adv_decoupler_yellow.zip

awesome job.. i was hoping we would eventually see decouplers like these.

[com4tably.numb]

This is by far my favorite decoupler, it makes me grin every time I utilize it.

Is there any way you could whip up some 2 and 3 meter versions? I would be happier than I could describe in words!!!!

Thanks

[Hyratel]

that decoupler FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF yes

[Blexie]

These decouplers are AWESOME. I've gotta second the request for larger variations.

[rdfox]

The 2 and 3m variations could just be new decoupler bases, since the same panels would cover the larger area if you used 8 and 12 panels, respectively, compared to the 1m version's four.

[Volt]

Major bump but the advanced decoupler looks awesome. Sadly it doesn't work for me either. When I press the advanced decopler base part, I get the one decoupler part, which I attach to my stack. For some reason at this point I don't get the two or four or even one little shroud. Could we have a step by step typed walkthrough of how to do this to see if it's broken or if I'm just an idiot?

[Douglasdtlltd]

It's very simple. Did you not look at his pictures carfully?

[Quabit]

It´s not broken, works fine with 0.9. Here is a little setup tutorial:

[Volt]

Well I think I've found out why it was hard for me to understand. The four side nodes on the decoupler base were pretty difficult to avoid when placing the centre node on the stack. Now I'm trying to attach the clutch in 4-symmetry and it's attaching seemingly rotated 90deg in position and in orientation. The way that placement works right now makes it extremely hard to even hover the part over the nodes at all.

Edit - Okay I finally managed to attach the clutches. Now when I use 4-side symmetry again to attach the shrouds, the symmetry immediately turns itself off when I try to attach it and puts one on instead, slightly clipped into the LFT.

[rdfox]

Try attaching the clutches at the node 180 degrees from the one you did; it sounds like you hooked it so that the clutches were on the outside of the base. Don't worry, I had the same problem at first.

The mini engine has a bug in 0.12 Xx as it uses the same name for the .DAE as the new stock engine (TV-45?). You have to rename the .DAE file and the name in the config of this part.

Hi Quabits,

Do you mind if I grab your parts and rebalance them to go with Silisko Edition?
