NathanKell Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Unlife98: Not heard of those. Can you post an output log? Sounds like something is erroring out, surely.Alttabmatt: Thanks!That's the right file but only a small chunk of it--can you zip and post the whole thing? All I see is an NRE in mapView, which is obviously the proximate cause but not the ultimate cause.Also: gotta love the avatar. Brings back so many awesome memories (my first big Lego was the Cosmic Fleet Voyager!)jandcando: Modlist and output_log.txt please? Something's clearly breaking the editor. (Also, make sure you've updated all your mods, and note if any aren't .23 compatible--people got this issue all the time from non-23-compatible mods).

TimeforAction Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) This looks like a great mod so I installed all the recommended mods and I'm ready to go. Only problem is, where do I get fuel for liquid fuel tanks? Is this something to do with the tech tree (RPL)?I'm sure this is totally obvious for most of you but if someone could help me out I'd be very grateful. Just a link to the correct thread would be fine. As it is, I'm not sure if this is a result of RPL or real fuels or RO.....Do these resources, perhaps, appear at a later tech level or something? Maybe I'm restricted to solid fuel at Tech 0......I tried mousing over the stretchy tank and pressing g in order to change fuel but nothing happened. Texture changing and stretching works fine.......Thanks in advanceEDIT: Looks like I need to sort out fuels in the Action Group Editor and not directly in the VAB. Apologies.

Alttabmatt Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Broman: I did not, sorry.NathanKell: Yea I can do that. Sorry I didn't know you needed the whole file. Figured you just needed the part that shows what is happening. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lmkeuj84qoyxcs0/output_log.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Incompetence Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Only problem is, where do I get fuel for liquid fuel tanks? Try going into the action groups tab and highlighting the tank... should be able to fill it from there. Took me a while to figure out also...haha.

Texture changing and stretching works fine.......Thanks in advanceClick on the action group manager tab then click on the tank in question, you can fill it from there. Bonus, when you attach an engine and then fill the tank from the action group manager menu there should be a button at the very bottom (scroll down) that says something like "Configure for ___ engine 35% Fuel 65% Oxidizer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Alttabmatt: looks like a city lights issue. Try nuking the folder and installing the latest VE fresh. Also, you have SCANSatRPM but apparently not SCANSat itself; that's also throwing an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victuz Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) I have a nagging issue. I've just finished installing everything, and it seems like despite the fact that stretchy tanks and real chutes are unlocked in the science building. I can't actually use them in the VAB. Is that normal? Again they're visible and unlocked in the research centre :/ Edited March 22, 2014 by Victuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teobug Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hm, looks some AIES engines aren't sized well respectively to fuel tanks... Or it is just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Victuz, what do you mean by "I can't actually use them"?Also, if you start a new sandbox game, can you "use them"?Teobug: as explained in the OP, etc., engines have been rescaled to realistic sizes. One of the required mods mentioned by the OP is Stretchy, so you can have tanks of whatever diameter you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victuz Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Victuz, what do you mean by "I can't actually use them"?Also, if you start a new sandbox game, can you "use them"?I can't seem to be able to use (as in they're not available in the VAB) the 1m conic realchutes that are available from the start and the stretchable fuel tanks from the "starting technologies" tree (KI-500 to KI-3000) I only have the access to the conic tanks (unless that's what they're called somehow)Aditionally despite (to my knowledge) not installing different configs for engines I have issues with the way some of them set up their points, looked at the faq but I still don't really know what to do with it example 1 = http://i.imgur.com/a7Pjwqg.jpg example 2 http://i.imgur.com/EzVtFMz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Victuz: Do they appear when you start a sandbox game?Also, for RealChutes, do *any* chutes show up?Regarding engines, it does look like an issue of multiple or too few configs. Make sure you have one, and only one, Module Manager dll anywhere in/under GameData, and tell me if you have any of the following in/under GameData:real_engines_rescale.cfgRftSEngines.cfgStockEngines.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O Nerd Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Sorry, i know it's a N00b question, i've started playing yesterday, but: How do i "set my engines to Tech Level 1"?EDIT: Another thing: Where are my decoupler shrouds? ;-; Edited March 23, 2014 by O Nerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 1. You can change engine TLs the same way you change engine propellant mixtures: go to action group edit mode in the VAB/SPH and click on the engine. A GUI will appear.2. Use the procedural interstage parts (proc interstage, proc interstage 2-sided, and proc interstage shroud). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advice_dawgg Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hi.First time poster, long time lurker.Just wondering if you could give me any tips on how to scale up a custom fairing base to make it 10m diameter(editing .cfg or otherwise)?My Ares V and SLS look a bit awkward with tapered conics matching up to an 8m base.Thanks!

If you look at how these change from say the 4 to the 6 to the 8 meter variants, you should be able to extrapolate how you would change them for a 10m variant.Then all you need to do is copy one of the smaller ones, change it to the stats of a 10m one, and then change all the names to 10m rather than whatever you copied it from, save it to the same location, and it should work.Or you could just use the procedural interstage with a nosecone on top.

If you click on the link in my sig and go into the FalconBFR_RaptorEngine folder, download the cfg in there. There's a bunch of other parts in the cfg but you can delete those if you want, the relevant 10m fairing base part should be at the bottom.

This one is exactly what i was looking for!@otherbarryWell, I gave it a go. I had a hard time getting my head around extrapolating the node positions and gave up after an hour or so, but as above, ive gone and used scripto23's hard work!

Victuz Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Me again, sorry I didn't respond to earlier questions, I was busy and the game started crashing all the time so I just reinstalled everything, it seems to work better although the game takes 7 minutes to start (hopefully it won't crash >_>), one issue I've noticed already in career mode is that my stayputniks (1 and 2), LV-T45, RT-5 Solid Booster, Rockomax 56-8U and some other parts don't have textures (they're just white models). I know that means I messed something up while installing, however I don't know what mod they're directly related to :/. Can anyone tell me that?

NathanKell Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Sorry, this sounds like "reinstall the game" time--those textures are stock textures, not made/changed by any mod. Sounds like the Squad folder itself got messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victuz Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) I have installed a squad texture repack (reduces the resolution of the textures), maybe the debloater messed up. Will have to check it out.EDIT: Verified integrity with steam, and reinstalled stuff. It works now. Edited March 24, 2014 by Victuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O Nerd Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 and click on the engine. A GUI will appear.I think i forgot to install the mod that does that. Sorry for the noobish, but what's it's name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
