[1.1.2+] Kerbal NRAP - MOVED

BARCLONE · December 27, 2014

stupid_chris,

Could you look at using a different zipping program for archiving? I run on 64-bit Linux, and I'm getting an

annoying error message when I try to extract the files. I think you're using 7-zip, right? It's doing something

naughty in the process. A Windoze issue, perhaps?

I had this same problem with another mod awhile back (Asteroid Cities)...

Personal update: I just installed the Windows version of the 7-zip 9.36 beta under Wine, to see if that might

fix the problem. No joy. All of my un-zippers seem to be telling me the package is corrupt. I presume this to be

incorrect, though, as others here are apparently extracting the file without difficulty. Suggestions?

Have you tried redownloading it? might have gotten a corrupt download. (Try both downloads from Mediafire and kerbal stuff) I tested the kerbal stuff download with linux, and its giving me no issues. Unzips fine under windows as well.

Looks like that was the issue. The DL from Kerbal Stuff extracted cleanly. Thanks!

Hello. Can anyone give me a link on 0.25 version of this plugin ?

You can find it on KerbalStuff

I'm using WinZip 17. Luckily seems like your problem was solved

There is a small bug when you try to put parts on the side of the test weights. Upon loading of craft, sometimes it will recognize the NRAP with a smaller DIA than it is currenty set and the part would 'sink' inside it. or sometimes it would recognize it as bigger than it appears, so the part would 'float' beside it. Happens with antennas, batteries, mechjeb, etc..

Hi stupid_chris!

I've just found this mod and I love it for career mode! It's already saved Jeb's life many times, and for that I cannot thank you enough for keeping this mod going.

However, I think I may have found an issue. At present, I am using the entry VAB. Although the mass adjustment is recognised bythe dV stat, the KSP's own 'Ship Info' displays the mass of the NRAP cone at 10t (the default mass), no matter what adjustment is made. I can see in the part config that the mass it is listed a '10', and this seems to be the only value that KSP is interested in. When I change this value to, say 0.5, I can then launch the vehicle (I was restricted by the 18t limit and could not launch).

A small issue, but one that may be worthy of your attention.

PringleMan had requested in the old thread, "I would be interested in seeing a new part added to this mod that is an adjustable balance weight. Sometimes I run into problems with rocket design where I have parts that unbalance my rocket because it would be horribly redundant to have multiples, but you have to in order to maintain a centered CoM.

So a radial adjustable weight would be awesome!"

And I completely second this idea! In addition, a stack-able test weight would also be helpful. Basically, test weights for all purposes!

Once you have the ability to use the test weight for rockets you feel silly not being able to use test weights on other types of craft!

Howdy!

I second what Akinesis said, both in that I love this mod, and I have experienced the mass issue for the launch pad, exactly as Akinesis explains it. Since I mainly use this for payload planning, it's not that big a deal for me, but I *do* see the same behavior.

One question: Do you have any intention of indexing this on CKAN?

And Happy New Year!

Red Iron Crown · January 2, 2015

Great to see this highly useful mod updated for 0.90, thanks stupid_chris.

tg626 · February 2, 2015

This is SO useful!! Thanks to all involved!

biohazard15 · April 28, 2015

Any chance of updating this to 1.0?

stupid_chris · April 29, 2015

Probably later tonight.

drtedastro · April 29, 2015

One must assume that sufficient bacon is present to be able to keep up this pace of updates....

Cheers.

stupid_chris · April 30, 2015

Here we go

Changelog:

April 29th 2015
v1.5.0.3

biohazard15 · April 30, 2015

Nice, thanks for the update!

It crashes PatchedConicRenderer for some reason and makes it impossible to revert or go to KSC after launch (exception in PatchedConicRenderer when trying to change scene).

There's an exception just after launch, looks like it happens in/after rendering the drag cube:

Stock with just NRAP, no other mods, KSP build 830.

Gargamel · April 30, 2015

Very nice, I love making heavy heavy lifters (900t+ payloads) and it's a pain trying to build a simple payload at that weight.

... That's weird, I used *your* code to rerender the drag cube :/

smjjames · April 30, 2015

Oh hey, cool, this will be useful for when I make two-mode craft, ones that have a main rocket for forward propulsion and another set of rockets for landing/takeoff. That way I don't have to use the same engine on the other side or otherwise use a bunch of random stuff on the other side of whatever I'm using for engine pods.

Lolwut at the impact resistance.

Also, uh, I guess according to e-dog, theres a rather bad bug with this atm?

stupid_chris · May 1, 2015

Found the problem.

Changelog:

April 30th 2015
v1.5.0.4
*Hotfix*
-Fixed the bug where the DragCube rendering would break stuff during flight loading

Shouldn't be any more problems now. Enjoy people!

Cool, thanks.

Also, just wondering out of curiosity, what is NRAP an acronym for?

I'm inviting you to look at the OP

smjjames · May 1, 2015

It stand for "New Rocket Asssement Programme" . It's says it on the pod

DUURRRRPPPPP!

lol

Why didn't I see that before, heh.

Kab00mBaby · May 3, 2015

this is a neat little mod, any chance this will make it to CKAN ?
