Giving it my best try. (part-tools problem?)


Recommended Posts

Well for the past (while now) I have been in full on "I'm GOING to make a KSP part" mode...

I have learned (somwhat how to model in 3d), and installed "Unity"...and part tools... I have done some re-textureing before so that was the only familiar ground..

I've got my 3d model, and my texture, and I downloaded latest unity...I dunno if I downloaded/installed KSP parttools correctly though?

The "part tools" tab window thing seems to be bugged... Does this tool require your graphics card to support open GL? my rig is getting old (7900 GTO)...Wrong version?

I tried to follow a tutorial on youtube by "Tiberion"...

If you are curious on what I was trying to make; I was trying to create a new smelter part for the EPL mod...

I am soo stuck right now...

What the heck is partlab.exe?

Any help would be great :cool:

Okay..

partlab.exe is from a very very old version of KSP. Ignore any references to that (where did you even see that?)

It looks like you have the old version of Part tools too. Get the .20 version here:

Delete the "PartTools" folder in your Assets area, and then move the part tools .unityobject into your project folder (inside your documents folder, where you find Assets and such) and run it. It will bring up a window to import a bunch of things, nake sure they're all checked and hit okay and let it run until done.

After you do that, try to follow my video again to set up your gamedata export folder and go from there. You'll also need a gameobject in your Hierarchy (that your model is parented to) to add the "Part tools" Component to (highlight the GameObject, then on the main menu Components -> KSP -> Part tools) - once you do that you should have the fields to name your model, select a texture type to export as, and so on.

The part tools don't function properly if unity encounters any errors (generally, not with the part tools). That null reference exception listed at the bottom of the screen is probably what's interfering. Click the console tab and see what the rest of the details about it are there.
