drtedastro Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Great looking paint job. Now that we have money and contracts and such, it would be great if when we get our cash back for a part, a) we would have the choice to use the used part or a new part on next mission. the used part, looking like this or some varying degree based on number of flights, would be cheaper BUT would also have a better chance for failure....would be interesting.and this paint / look would do the job perfect for looks..great work.

styckx Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) I may have to dump this project.. the mbm to png converter I'm using isn't correctly converting the rest of the engine textures correctly.. Tons of transparency issues / blank textures. Is there a more reliable way than MBMConverter? Edited July 27, 2014 by styckx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WololoW Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Is there a way to adjust the compression amount from the first variable in the @default.cfg file? Something akin to ATM's scale multiplier (2 for 1/2, 4 for 1/4, etc)Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styckx Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Ok.. Texture repaints are back on thanks to Nathankell pointing me to SuperPNG for Photoshop.Second stock engine is done.. I'll start my own thread in addon dev once I get a few more done.Also did some changes to the first engine I did.

I'm just curious how would you name the project?Thanks!Drtedastro has a good concept which was sorta where my initial brain storming came from. Cheaper stock parts w/ drawbacksBurn hotterBurn more fuelLess thrustHeavierBut at a discount price. Whether I get this far or not who knows but right now I'm focusing on making the default items look as worn, beat, and abused as possible (but still seem "perfectly fine to fly") first. I love manpulating textures and have been doing it for many years in various other games. That's where the fun for me is. The creating part.. Whether I actually finish a project or not doesn't concern me.. As long as I have fun at least trying. Edited July 28, 2014 by styckx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtedastro Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I certainly would like to see this as an 'option' as it fits in with Kerbal "Jeb'isms" to buy cheap, fly hot and fast and hope it blows up with Bill.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want this you should either set a lower texture quality in the settings menu or install ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostshark27 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I doubt it would be a cause for a memory leak, but I guess it's possible. I have about 1400 MM part configs (150 or so that are hidden because I don't have the part it's looking for) that load when my game loads, and I don't see a significant memory load from that (all my load is coming from texture packs and the like). And in the end it may not be a MM CFG issue, it just looks and sounds a lot like a problem I had when I forgot to save a change to a part edit, and ended up with a MM file pointed at a part with no change being made.Well, whatever was causing my issue, I got it squashed. Completely uninstalled all of KSP and mods and started from scratch. I was able to load all the mods I want into the new fresh install, save for KSO, but I'm not really needing that one just yet. Thanks for the help, I'm so glad to get my KSP fix again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WololoW Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks again for the quick reply shaw!Hey stycks, I made MM .cfg edits for KSPX to get it updated to .24, and if you would like, I can work on the cfg's for your parts! Just let me know here or via PM. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheppard Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Hello,I'm running KSP, Steam version, x64 with these mods:-Better Atmospheres v5 and all it's dependencies, except Custom Asteroids and Sunflares; so including Texture Replacer-Alarm Clock-MechJeb latest update-Protractor latest update-Docking-Port Alignment Indicator-Enhanced Navball-Distant Object EnhancementI have a small issue: Kerbals on Laythe have no helmet on and no Jetpack. Lights work, as you can see in the pictures, but my jetpack works only with half impulse when I jump and that's about it. Problem is, I can't get now back into my ship, as my ladder is just short of jumping reach. Might this be related to texture replacer? Although everything was fine until 2 days ago.PS: I also tried to park my rover under the ladder, but after leaving the seat, my Kerbal gets knocked down, the rover tips forward and some weird kraken physics makes it blow up in half.

BudgetHedgehog Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I doubt it is related to TR.. well, the helmet thing is, but that's because Laythe atmo is breathable. Anyway, Laythe has a pretty similar, if slightly lighter gravity to Kerbin - that's probably why your EVA pack isn't working, it's just not powerful enough, like it would be on Kerbin.When you say everything was fine 2 days ago, what do you mean? Was KSP loading? Did your kerbal have a helmet? Could he jump and reach the ladder? Were your relatives feeling ok but now are not? "Everything worked but now doesn't" isn't terribly helpful.

Sheppard Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yeah, sorry for that lack of details. I meant that Kerbals had helmets on and that the jetpack was powerful enough to reach that ladder. I EVA-ed a lot of times to plant flags for contracts and got pack using my jetpack. Did Squad maybe change some parameters during 0.24.2 regarding jetpacks/gravity of Layhte?

BudgetHedgehog Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 If the helmets changed, that'd be due to a change in the cfg, specifically "isAtmSuitEnabled = true" - did you change or update TR between a few days ago and now? Either way, that flag changed and is easy to change back.As for the EVA pack, I've no idea then. Laythe nor EVAs have changed in 0.24.2. Have you checked your output log? That might have some clues, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheppard Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yes, I updated TR, together with all dependencies of better atmospheres. Thanks for the help!If I can't reach that pesky ladder, it'll be a nice rescue mission anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Squad maybe change some parameters during 0.24.2 regarding jetpacks/gravity of Layhte?Helmet and jetpack are missing because of TR (actually helmet and jetpack are still there and functional, they're just hidden). Laythe has breathable atmosphere, so it's working exactly as intended.And your jetpack probably works just fine, but gravity on Laythe is way too high to make any effect. I know, on Duna, you can barely take off with jetpack and gravity there is only 0.3 G. Laythe has 0.8 G. Squad hasn't ever changed Laythe's gravity, so jetpacks have always been unusable there.

Cybot Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I feel stupid for asking this, but i am trying to get J's Specialized Suit Pack to work. I've installed it and the textures work, but i cannot for the life of me figure out the proper syntax to make it apply to specific kerbals. I have tried reading both tutorials and reverse engineering other packs, but to no avail. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in this matter.This is as far as i've gotten. It's labeled @JS.cfgCustomKerbals{Bill Kerman = DEFAULT BlueBob Kerman = DEFAULT YellowJebediah Kerman = DEFAULT Orange}GenericKerbals{suitAssignment = random} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a hack so `@Default.cfg` is alphabetically before all other files and is hence overridden by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
