[0.23]Cargo Transfer Bags and Tanks(for TAC life support) 0.7

[blackheart612]

Nice Would it be possible to have a version with those cool textures (the iss styled ones) but in .mu's to avoid needing other mods?

Textures are in .mbm form. Models are what .mu are.

I think the Aperture Science logo would look good there COMBUSTABLE LEMONS

You mean for the science bag?

[Aknar]

Textures are in .mbm form. Models are what .mu are.

Yeah, i'm a bit fuzzy on how to change textures since there's only a line for the mesh... I want to make individual .cfg files for each resource with their own texture so as to avoid using the two other mods. Can it be done with .png's or only .mbm's and how?

[blackheart612]

I'll make a quick one, see if it works, this'll make you know how to edit cfg

Make a folder for each, rename them anything you'd like but preferably, their own name/resource.

Move the texture to each corresponding folder - Oxygen/Oxygen.png -or something like that.

Copying crater's code quick, here's an edited one:

PART
{

    // --- general parameters ---
    name = OxygenTransferBag //BE SURE TO CHANGE THIS
    module = Part
    author = Albert VDS

    // --- asset parameters ---
    model = CargoTransferBag.mu
    scale = 1
    rescaleFactor = 1
    specPower = 0.3
    rimFalloff = 3
    alphaCutoff = 0

    MODEL
   {
    model = CargoTransferBags/Parts/CargoTransferBag 
    texture = CargoTransferBags/Parts/Oxygen/Oxygen //Directory of the PNG, here comes the folder you created. BE SURE TO CHANGE THIS.
    }

    // --- general parameters ---
    node_attach = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0


    attachRules = 0,1,0,1,0

    // --- editor parameters ---
    TechRequired = survivability
    entryCost = 2800
    cost = 340
    category = Utility
    subcategory = 0
    title = Cargo Transfer Bag
    manufacturer = VDS
    description = Test

    // --- general parameters ---
    mass = 0.07
    dragModelType = default
    maximum_drag = 0.2
    minimum_drag = 0.3
    angularDrag = 2
    crashTolerance = 12
    breakingForce = 400
    breakingTorque = 400
    maxTemp = 2900

MODULE
{
	name = KASModuleGrab
	evaPartPos = (0.0, 0.2, -0.22)
	evaPartDir = (0,0,-1)
	storable = False
	//storedSize = 16
	attachOnPart = True
	attachOnEva = False
	attachOnStatic = True
	attachPartSndPath = KAS/Sounds/attachTape
	grabSndPath = KAS/Sounds/detachTape
}
}

EDIT: Wrong spelling. Be sure to have the correct one. XD

BE SURE TO CHANGE THIS is changed if you have another directory/module.

Delete ModularCargo.cfg in GameData/CargoTransferBags

I think I messed somethig up... just try if it works then tell me

I tried a couple of times, changing things here and there to see if I could make it work, but either it doesn't recognize .png's or it doesn't recognize the extra lines:

MODEL

{

model = CargoTransferBags/Parts/CargoTrasnferBag

texture = CargoTransferBags/Parts/Oxygen/Oxygen

}

[blackheart612]

Yes, I knew it. Just delete

model = CargoTransferBag.mu

scale = 1

rescaleFactor = 1

specPower = 0.3

rimFalloff = 3

alphaCutoff = 0

MODEL

{

model = CargoTransferBags/Parts/CargoTransferBag

texture = CargoTransferBags/Parts/Oxygen/Oxygen //Directory of the PNG, here comes the folder you created. BE SURE TO CHANGE THIS.

}

and change it to

MODEL

{

model = CargoTransferBags/Parts/CargoTransferBag

texture = CargoTransferBags/Parts/Oxygen/Oxygen //Directory of the PNG, here comes the folder you created. BE SURE TO CHANGE THIS.

}

scale = 1

rescaleFactor = 1

and see how it goes

correct the spelling too

Unless

specPower = 0.3

rimFalloff = 3

alphaCutoff = 0

are necessary, add them below the scalefactors

[Aknar]

Yeah, I did see the mistake and corrected it ^^ I'll try this new one and tell you how it goes but shouldn't the second part be included in the overhead brackets?

[blackheart612]

nope, it isn't part of the MODEL{}

Gotta go. be checking waaay later. hope it goes well.

[Aknar]

Ok, you were right, I tried both and the ones that had it in Model didn't show up. The others still don't have texture though... :/ I think the game only recognizes .mbm...

[blackheart612]

Hey, remember to change the texture name and the folder directory, also change the name in general parameters or else it will appear as the one with the same name.

[Aknar]

Already done, but it isn't the problem since I don't have the original folder loaded.

[AntiMatter001]

i'm just wondering here but can i take your bags and re configure them to hold any other resource? although i like the idea of this mod pack i'd rather have it as KAS bags because i'm not using TAC life Support right now.

and the fact they're pretty damn awesome to look at... i've just gotta figure out how to re texture them XD

[Albert VDS]

Sure, no problem.

[blackheart612]

Ah, screw it, I will try and edit them and make a version w/o mft.

[Albert VDS]

Is there omething wrong wit MFT?

[Aknar]

Sorry, don't want to bother :/ It's good practice though

[blackheart612]

Well, some guys prefer without it, customers are always right Huehue.

You really wanna make it yourself or do you want me to do it for you?

[Aknar]

I'm still willing to try but i'm all out of ideas. If it doesn't bother you and only takes you a sec, I'd be very thankful

I don't wish to be annoying though, it consums less without extra mods and is faster to use. I'm always looking to reduce my load time since I play around with a lot of mods and need to relaunch the game 20 times to check everything is working fine, (and it would be longer and more painful to take empty the gamefolder everytime)

[blackheart612]

I don't mind it

Intentional Double Post:

Here you go, there are a lot of mistakes on my quick guide, I am truly sorry.

Here is the No-MFT version.

I also tried to add a description. Just see if it's lame enough.

Might want to look at it also Albert, Something is better than nothing

i love how the .zip is called velcro XD

Why? Something wrong with it?

[Albert VDS]

Nice. Though I wonder why you didn't keep it all in one folder?

That way you don't need to have multiple copies of CargoTransferBags.mu and you could even combine all the cfg files into 1.

[blackheart612]

Meh, couldn't figure out how to get textures work with one single .mu.

It seems to search the "CargoTransferBags" texture. Always my problem. lol

Thanks a ton, Here, you deserve some Rep for going the extra mile

[blackheart612]

Well, thank you, don't forget Albert for creating this add-on, I'm just helping other people's requests that I see and it turned out I was here often. That'd be some motivation.

By the way, I was using my textures there when I was fiddling around, kindly change it to the texture you want.
