Hi, i already mentioned it in the B9 Threat, but i have a problem caused by smokescreen.

If i stat a ship from vab its OK, but after i switched vessel or switched to space center and back to the vessel, it´s invisible except of the engine. the Ship is not controllable and no kerbals are showing.

if i remove smokescreen, it works fine.

what should i do?

Could you put the ship file somewhere so I can test ?

This is the bug that destroys entire ships bar the engine upon reload.

Pls fix :(

I have had this ship destruction event happen a few times myself, but only a few times, so I never bothered to try and run down the cause. Thinking back though, it was almost always with KW engines and the problems I had might have had something to do with the fan patched hotrockets KW config I had. (I have since updated to a newer fan patch, as well as updating the smokescreen dll) but I'll see if I can't get it to happen again and get a logfile for it. I would have never made the connection to smokescreen if I hadn't stumbled into this thread. (I'd have likely just shaken my fist and blamed KSP again)

I thought i was getting the same NRE but mine looks different.

This happens when i reload a destroyed craft.

Using 2.4.4.0

Hey guys, sorry for being the greenhorn around here but I'm trying to create some hot rocket/smokescreen configs for the RS-25D (SSME) & SSSRB for RSS to compliment some custom sounds I've produced for them. I'm new to scripting hotrockets and smokescreen, and there are some things I can't figure out.

1) No matter how hard I try I cannot get the rocket effect GUI options to appear for the SSME (KlockheadMartian) in game. I've added the required lines to its part config (it was already partially there) and created a hotrockets config for it in the HR folder, still nothing. Strangely I did the exact same for the SSSRB and I have all three options in the GUI: Launch smoke, smoke and flame.

2)I'm also somewhat unsure about how to permanently edit the configs for such engines, the GUI has a Rebuild button, which only brings up a different set of variables, which I understand even less :P Do I have to manually copy my values from GUI into the config outside of the game to make persistent changes to rocket effects?

I'm sorry if this was all stated somewhere I had a look through the OP and couldn't find anything on the in game GUI.

This is what my RS-25D part config looks like:

fx_exhaustSparks_flameout = 0.0, 4.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, flameout

I'm loving this mod! Only one question though...

Is there any way I can edit the squad MM cfg (I got Smokescreen from the Hot Rockets mod page) for the engines to produce a little less Smoke at ignition? The smoke particles while travelling are perfect, but at launch they are causing a little lag...

any help will be appreciated :)

You can try do delete: launch_hotrockets.cfg in GameData/Mp_Nazari/

BUG REPORT: At multiple angles with KW Rocketry Rockets (I believe that is all that does this, so far.) Instead of thrust visuals (the actual fire) from the rockets, I see many, many spinning, transparent images of whatever FLAG file I'm using for that particular mission... I... have no idea.

When I take hot rockets out, it goes away. Not sure if that helps. Thanks for any insight!
