stupid_chris Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Any modulemanager .cfg's out to fix all the resized stock parachutes Realism Overhaul creates? All is good except for the resized parachutes.I'm not sure what you mean? I'd understand a request to have a MM config to resize the RealChute parts to have RO sizes, but stock chutes?

GavinZac Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Do you have FAR installed? Because you need this if you do.Um, what will happen if I don't? At the moment it seems to be a choice between whatever not having this will cause, or explodieness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupid_chris Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Um, what will happen if I don't? At the moment it seems to be a choice between whatever not having this will cause, or explodienessFAR negates the drag of each part. Bad things could happen. That's not the problem, that's just negating it for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtedastro Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hello Stupid_Chris. Good day.Is there any way to detect when a plane has 'landed'?? For the drag chutes, it would be nice if we could 'arm' them when ???? meters above ground (radar alt) and then have them deploy based on time since landing detection....have had some harry / scarry landings, all my fault, and fiddling around for key to deploy has almost cost me plenty of my green work force. just thought it would be great if there was some options to handle the landing aspect of the drag chutes..fantastic mod. have enjoyed watching it progress....Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see what I can do about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinZac Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Most of the part configs seem to be corrupt, only three of the parachutes that RealChute adds are functional (Double chute, Double Cone chute and the Radial chute), by functional I mean that the part config file is not gibberish and it loads in the VAB part menu. I just installed the newest version (this glitch was in the last version too). Example of the Gibberish:why on earth did you paste all of this?!intended behaviour.http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/57988-0-23-x-RealChute-Parachute-Systems-editor-window%21-v1-0-3-7-03-14?p=1010686&viewfull=1#post1010686Also, I noticed that there is only one right-click button on all the parachutes, the 'Read Info' button and that only shows a GUI with a bunch of information but no way to change the deployment altitude or anything else.Read the little tooltip in the VAB. You make your adjustments in the ActionGroup tab. When in flight, the Read Info button also lets you edit the deployment altitudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavinZac Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks, but if I wanted to add one of the parts not in the part menu to my ship, how would I go about doing that?You add the one that looks the most like the one you actually want, then go to the action groups tab and set it up. I presume you want the chute container to be somewhat bigger or smaller. This is done in that ActionGroup editing area. Simply select the chutes and go to that AG tab, an editor will be waiting with buttons for 'next size' and 'previous size'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stupid_chris Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thank you, can I also use the ActionGroup editing area to change the double chutes to triple chutes?You can use the editor area to do whatever you want. You can switch simple canopies to triple canopies, you can switch the size of the part, the texture of the part, the texture of both canopies, as well as everything else concerning deployment stats. It is intended that only the info window is now available on right click. As for the parts, it's also intended. You can see all the changes in the post linked earlier (or linked next to the red "Important" in the OP).As for what is of the gibberish of the part configs, that's definitely not me. Something broke when you downloaded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd understand a request to have a MM config to resize the RealChute parts to have RO sizes, but stock chutes?Well when you install RO, it creates some alternate sizes of the stock parachutes. 0.5m, 1m and 2m. Realchute doesn't effect these "copys" of the stock parachutes and i'm not entirely sure how to do it manually while keeping the balance respective to their sizes.

They aren't created through MM, and RealChute kinda needs a part per part implementation of the module usually. You'd better drop it in the RO thread. They probably need to update the actual RealChute MM cfg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathanKell Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Aw, thanks! Totally taking you up on that.The three things that need doing, in rough order of precedence:*Converting the parachute parts supplied by Realism Overhaul to all use RealChutes*Creating copies of the RealChutes parachutes in 0.5m, 1m, and 2m diameters*Modifying all of the above, plus KSP's and RC's regular parts, such that canopies are of realistic size (if they aren't already) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for that to work for other parts, I need the Canopy to be a separate model from the part for now, and it gets complicated fast without. But eventually I plan on implementing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Wow, thanks!The canopy already always is a separate model, else it would always be visible, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaverickSawyer Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I just updated to the latest version, and I can't seem to unlock all the parts in the tech tree, despite having already unlocked the proper nodes. I hit the "research now" button, but they still don't unlock in the VAB/SPH. Any idea why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't always visible because they're set not to appear with transform.gameObject.SetActive(false)I just updated to the latest version, and I can't seem to unlock all the parts in the tech tree, despite having already unlocked the proper nodes.
