CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Sounds you have plans to keep you busy until your next birthday reducing poly counts of mir module would not take very long. currently they are 20 sided cylinders. i will probably drop them down to 16 or 18. but I would easily do this. I also learned a fun way to UV map pretty quickly but still retain its niceness. as for specular images those are easily made but should be made even quicker. I think I need to make some spacial decouplers for the engines and an RCS tank for the KVTK that looks similar. Spacial engines will not have shrouds (aside form the RD-4140 which is huge and deserves a seprate launch lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 in other news. lol I just redid the rd-0146 specular and gosh. it is lovely. i will make a short video of some things I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpanic Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 So, I took the Conical Booster Decoupler (It was the first one I saw), edited the config file and got rid of the dashes right there, AND IT WORKED! It created a new stage for the decoupler and another one for what went below it. Therefore, all you have to do is remove a few dashes from each .cfg and it\'ll work perfectly Dashes? Do you mean forward slashes? For the record, Dash = -Back slash = \Forward slash = / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibb31 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 super small image of Mir is super small It was just to give you an idea of the color of the modules I suspect that they start out pure white, but then turn to that brownish-rusty white color because of the heat and radiation.

Anomalous_Matter Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Dashes? Do you mean forward slashes? For the record, Dash = -Back slash = \Forward slash = /Yeah, forward slashes. Sorry. I can\'t imagine it would take too long to remove them from all the configs, it would just be pretty boring work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomalous_Matter Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 So, I went through the Angara pack and removed all the slashes from the staging. Do I have permission to post an attachment? Going to start work on the space station parts, but that\'ll take longer because of all the decouplers...EDIT: Wow. I looked through the space station parts, and didn\'t find a single decoupler to fix ^.^ If anyone\'s interested, and if I get permission, I\'ll put up the edited Angara pack.

Nibb31 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It\'s not matter of simply removing the slashes. What\'s important is the value that comes after them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might\'ve missed a few, but overall the staging seems fixed. The values were already in place for it to work well, so I\'m guessing someone just accidentally put in the slashes.

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 jeb_Kerman. you could PM the values to Normak for each module so he can add them to the CFGs? simplt the name of the part and the stuff changed would do. unfortunayl it needs to be handspliced into the DB files. they cannot be copy pasted New Small Solar panels. Small little things that unfold into decent sized panels. made from super thin Solar Film. Thank Mu for Supporting Skins and Rigging. Something I love in game but Loath to make.

Anomalous_Matter Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I PMed Normak some info about how I changed the configs and what was wrong in the first place, so hopefully you guys can look it over and get the staging set up in future versions In addition, since CardboardBox gave me permission, if anyone wants it I\'ll post the edited pack as an attachment. I might\'ve missed one or two decouplers or shrouds, but overall the issue\'s fixed.Also, I love what those little mini-panels look like. Would be really interesting on a rover or lander.

I might\'ve missed one or two decouplers or shrouds, but overall the issue\'s fixed.Also, I love what those little mini-panels look like. Would be really interesting on a rover or lander.I just recreated the changes you mentioned and applied them to all the decouplers used in the Angara pack, as well as the two decouplers used by the VA. (They are 'Kosmos_VA_RRV_Upper_Decoupler' and 'Kosmos_VA_RRV_LockDown') Works like a charm. I notice also in the Angara pack that the shrouds do not connect to the engines correctly. I looked into this and found the issue. The alignment of the 'node_stack_top' was incorrect.It showed: node_stack_top = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0It should be: node_stack_top = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0In addition, to make the staging nice and automatically handled for the shrouds, the two lines mentioned in Jeb_Kerman\'s post can be uncommented back in to the shrouds. stageOffset = 1childStageOffset = 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 yall getting me info. can you find info about the VA? unity allows for some extra stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibb31 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Regarding the VA, are you aware of the Excalibur Almaz? This is a company that has bought leftover soviet hardware, including 4 VAs and 2 Almaz station cores. They want to refurb the hardware and sell flights for ISS resupply, crew rotation, and tourism.IMO, they are a bit of a pipe dream and only into powerpoint rockets, but the idea is fun.http://www.excaliburalmaz.com/0202_LEO.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairu Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 can you find info about the VA?What exactly do you want to know? TKS is a well-known spacecraft, so a lot of information is available about it. But for me the most difficult is to find the info in English So if there are specific questions it will be easier to answer (and I\'m sure the answers will be).

ToxicFrog Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I\'m having a bit of trouble with the docking nodes.I have the hotfix installed. I select a docking node, hit W, then attach it to the back of my rocket. So far so good.Once I\'ve done that, though, I can attach stuff to the left and right of the node, and behind it, but not above or below it.

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 thanks. those are nice pictures I am doing the VA is all. It needs an overhaul eventually. now i can do it better with multiple collision meshes. the current one (while nice) is slightly not right shape wise because of these meshes.

Kairu Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 CBBP, if you\'re going to somehow remake VA, can you make a decoupler-type part, that can be used instead of VA upper decoupler, RCS tank and thrusters to build VA? I thought about it after the first release; sometimes it is unnecessarily to have RCS on VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
