drtedastro Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I would like to see them with selecteable textures, like on stretchy SRB and such..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostiken Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) That, and / or a doorless version.I have no real desire to see my partlist clogged with multiple parts with just varying textures though, so simply having the option to replace the texture with a smooth one (with perhaps a less-obvious door) would be phenomenal. Right now stacking multiple compartments kinda of looks a little odd, since most parts in KSP are *not* ribbed (in fact the small fuel tank is the only part that I can think of that is), and having the big giant stack of obvious panels starts to look a little weird. Making the doors much less obvious (thinner outline, more subdued color) and a smooth look would be the tits.I'd try my hand at retexturing it myself but I have no idea how to handle these filetypes.

BananaDealer Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Are the doors meant to close as soon as you open them with a Kerbal?They just don't want to stay open for some reason...As soon as the opening animation is done, the doors begin to close... Kinda frustrating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galileo Kerbonaut Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Great idea for a mod. Only problem is that my doors won't open at all. They work in the VAB, not during flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothke Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 You should definitely pay attention where the doors are facing when building the ship, as Nick documents the mishap: ..Or just don't open them xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanRayne Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I can't seem to get my doors to open at all. not in the VAB, not from the flight scene, not from EVA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beatmaster Hank Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 the doors don't work right in flight.the door animation jumps to open position and plays the close animation.so its not possible to open the door in flight.i just tested it with the 1m version.still a usefull and nice looking part Yea I've been having the same problem too, I'm pretty sure I installed it right. Anybody have suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railgunner2160 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Once again, problems with the doors not opening are because you most likely lack FIRESPITTER!!!!!!! It isn't optional guys..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andon Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Once again, problems with the doors not opening are because you most likely lack FIRESPITTER!!!!!!! It isn't optional guys.....You are incorrect. First thing I did was update Firespitter.The doors function, to a point - they just play the close animation instead of the open one. Please don't assume that people are stupid when they have a problem. Most of us find it offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railgunner2160 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 My comment was mostly aimed at AlanRayne, his problem sounds like he most defiantly skipped installing firespitter. I've seen the bug your mentioning before with other mods, it usually happens when a part forgets what stage of the animation the part should be at.....Usually shows up as a part opening or closing when it should be doing the opposite...

TBryson2 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I too can only "open" the door (Yes, EVA) and it will NOT stay open! It closes immediately. Also, if I launch with it open, (It was opened in VAB) it will stay open and you cannot close it!Running KSP .23TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard771 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Looks awesome, will be downloading later. Should totally be in Stock KSP! Edit: I put the parts into the Parts-folder, but it's not working? The parts don't have their own folders, maybe that's the problem?

Railgunner2160 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 This doesn't use the old parts folder method, that method is outdated and no longer used!! You need to put his in Gamedata folder.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSF77 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) I love these things, use them on almost every manned space craft now. One of my favorite uses for them is for science equipment, especially placing mystery goo since it offsets the mass of my ship anywhere else.It would be nice if there was some kind of end adapter piece for it though to keep odd textures from the parts its placed next to from showing on the inside (fuel tanks, etc), also whatever you place on the bottom or top of the container gets moved when you move around their respective parts instead of truly being attached to the container itself. Not a big deal or anything, just an idea. Edited December 26, 2013 by RSF77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big deal or anything, just an idea.I'll second this. I use these all the time now, and what I've been using is the end piece adapter from Sumghai's FusTek expansion pack. It's basically just a very thin circular 2.5m hull piece that works great paired with these.Very useful parts, Nothke! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledenko Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I ran into a peculiar issue - on reload, the 2m compartment seemingly shrinks, it's as if it goes from 2.5m to 2m. Any idea what causes this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
