Make mod part available as root part?

[MrChumley]

I have been tinkering with an old "High visibility" command pod download from the spaceport http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/high-visibility-pod/...

I updated the .cfg file to get it working in 0.22, and I actually got it working! Woohoo!Download link for updated part.cfg

I just can't figure out how to make it so that you can use it as a root part, that you can start out with it as your first part in the VAB, like the normal command pods. Is this in the part.cfg or elsewhere?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

What is the 'vessle type' set to in config. Compare your config to one of the stock maned pods, should be able to stop the difference.

Nope, thats not it...

stagingIcon = COMMAND_POD

vesselType = Lander

Same as the stock lander can.

I figured it out.

(with a little help from Hazezero in the livestream)... Thanks man!

I had to change:

// attachment rules: stack, srfAttach, allowStack, allowSrfAttach, allowCollision

attachRules = 1,0,1,0,1

to

attachRules = 1,0,1,1,0

Ah I totally forgot about attach rules! I should not have, as this has happened to me before....its always the little stuff that gets ya lol.

It's always good when a plan comes together!
