[0.23] TP's Stock Parts Resized mod

[ThePiachu]

Playing around with some big rockets it became obvious to me that KSP lacked some parts in proper sizes. So I took stock parts and resized them for various unavailable sizes.

This mod contains the following resized parts:

• Modular Girder Adapter
  
• Modular Girder Segment
  
• Modular Girder Segment XL
  
• Station Hub
  

in 0.625m, 2.5m and 3.75m sizes.

It also contains:

• 1.25m Bi adapter
  
• 1.25m Tri adapter
  
• 1.25m Quad adapter
  
• XL Radial Decoupler
  
• XXL Radial Decoupler
  
• 3.75m Battery bank (also stores Megajoules for Interstellar mod)
  
• 1.25m Xenon Tank
  
• XL Linear RCS Thruster
  
• XL RCS Thruster Block
  
• 3.75m RCS Fuel Tank

All models come from Squad's stock parts, .cfg files were modified from Squad's stock parts.

How about some pictures for comparison?

Nice, especially 3,75m station hub and girders.

What about 5m parts, especially bi\tri\quad adapters?

Just a suggestion: since these are only resized stock parts, you only need to include the .cfg files in your zip. But you have to redefine your part paths to include the /Squad/Parts/<subdir>/<partname>.

Here's an example using the Large Station Hub:

PART
{
name = stationHubLarge
module = Part
author = ThePiachu

mesh = model.mu
rescaleFactor = 2

Add "/Squad/Parts/Structural/stationHub/" to the mesh line to make it like this:

mesh = /Squad/Parts/Structural/stationHub/model.mu

When you do this, it will use the already loaded model & texture from the Squad part, meaning you won't double the memory usage for your resized part.

There was a mod for 0.21, ReStock, that did the same thing that you're doing. You should check it out to see how the author made his parts.

I don't really use 5m parts in my saves, so I would have to look into perhaps creating some separate set of parts for 5m size. I might look into that when I'll be reworking the parts a bit.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will have to do that soon!

I'll wait for the update to download, just marking this thread.

Hmm, I think there are some problems with that solution.

I tried putting, say

mesh=Squad/Parts/Structural/adapterLargeSmallTri/model.mu

and it didn't load the part. After looking a bit deeper into this, I found an alternative:

MODEL

{

model = Squad/Parts/Structural/adapterLargeSmallTri/model

}

The models load, but the scale or nodes are off. I think at the moment I will just have to stick with duplicating the models...

[CovertJaguar]

	MODEL
	{
		model = Squad/Parts/Structural/stationHub/model
		scale = 0.3333, 0.3333, 0.3333
	}
	scale = 1
	rescaleFactor = 3

hi,

Here is a Battery Bank I made for me to store Megajouls (resize a Z4 to a larger size) and I use the original model (and the correct location) so you don't really need to send the model mu included in the zip.

is half the size of a FL-R1 RCS tank.

PART
{

 name = Megajouls-Battery-Bank
 module = Part
 author = MEEEEEEEEEE
 rescaleFactor = 1
 PhysicsSignificance = -1
 node_stack_bottom = 0,-0.6,0,0,1,0,2
 node_stack_top = 0,-0.15,0,0,1,0,2
 node_attach = 0,0,0,0,0,0,0
 CrewCapacity = 0
 TechRequired = advRocketry
 entryCost = 0
 cost = 18000
 category = Utility
 subcategory = 0
 title = Megajouls-Battery-Bank
 manufacturer = MEEEEEEEEEE
 description = Large Battery Bank to store Megajouls.
 attachRules = 1,0,1,1,0,0,0
 mass = 0.8
 dragModelType = default
 maximum_drag = 0.1875
 minimum_drag = 0.1875
 angularDrag = 0.9375
 crashTolerance = 17.25
 breakingForce = 47.4375
 breakingTorque = 47.4375
 maxTemp = 1600
 fuelCrossFeed = True
 MODEL
 {
  model = Squad/Parts/Electrical/batteryBankLarge/model
  position = 0,-0.375,0
  scale = 1,2,1
  rotation = 0,0,0
 }
 RESOURCE
 {
  name = Megajoules
  amount = 0
  maxAmount = 1000
 }
}
