1. Double post.

2. Not enough information.

3. No pics no clicks.

[Smorfty]

It's an Internet sin to post something you've made without screenshots and such a meager explanation.

[Rofl47]

Sorry about that, I will update the thread, Will show screenshots soon, Will add information even though the Information is on spaceport, Internet bug.

I will work on that, I apologize.

Rolf47: congrats on starting modding!

Folks, no need to harsh...

[BudgetHedgehog]

Hmm, well, it could be interesting... Couple of things - maybe this'd be better in the Add-On Development section? And why not chuck in a link to this thread in the Spaceport info box so people can find out more? Also, it's probably not a good idea to link directly to MJ #209 (honestly speaking, I wouldn't even link to Jenkins, but rather the forum thread) as it'll quickly be surpassed by newer versions (and indeed, already has been. I think we're up to #218?). If MechJeb is absolutely necessary to the craft (why? Honestly curious), then maybe talk to sarbian if it'd be ok to bundle it or something. But why is MJ needed in the first place? EDIT: Looks like it's just the AR202 box on the top. If you remove that, save the craft, then use that, everyone will be able to use it as it's just stock parts and this mod.

So I downloaded this to check it out and immediately noticed the folder structure looks like (I think) what the old system used. Standard practice would be to have two folders in the zip - one Gamedata and one Ships. In the GameData, have a folder called Kerbal Electronics or Rofl47 or whatever, something that makes the folder yours. Then in that, I'd have the Parts and Flags folder you have. In the Ships folder, I'd put another one called VAB and then in that, your craft (might want to think about renaming too ). The way you have it set up makes it difficult if people want to look at/find/uninstall your parts after they've installed it. When people install this mod, it'll just be a simple case of merging the two GameData folders (the one in the KSP install and the one from the mod) so you'll want to be able to let people do that.

Talking of the parts, I noticed they're basically stock parts with different parameters. Not sure what the stance is on redistributing Squads textures is, might be useful to know. Anyway, the RTG could be considered by some to be little excessive (1000 output rate and it weighs the same as the stock RTG which outputs 0.75?), the oxidiser tank is good idea (which is why KSPX includes one) but again, it uses the stock large radial tank texture. And the fuel line.. is just a fuel line. Not sure where you're going with that one but the idea of a reversed fuel line sounds intriguing.

Please don't think I'm hating or whatever, I think it's great you had the initiative to make this pack and had the guts to upload it and everything, it's certainly not something I could do, so congratulations on your first mod and here's to a great future for Kerbal Electronics!

EDIT: Oh, and *Incorporated

EDITE THE SECONDE: To put an image into your post, put the link between [IMG] and tags. A nice picture is big, in daylight and where you can clearly see the relevant parts. Sometimes, a VAB shot is used thanks to the nice lighting.

EDIT number 3: Also, I believe a license is needed for every mod uploaded here. Even if you don't need one, it's nice to know what we can do with your parts ourselves. From the rules:

All addons released on the KSP network require a license, the license is to make it clear what other people are allowed to do with your mod.

And as such a proper juridically valid license works just as well as just writing "No distribution" or something along those lines , as long as it leaves no room for personal interpretation.

Thank you!

I will do that, thanks for the tips!

[Rofl47]

Ah, I dont really care, as long as they dont take the credit, I am fine with them distributing it.

- - - Updated - - -

Mechjeb is required, Because I placed it on this craft.

[Rofl47]

I will take everything into consideration, But I am going to learn some tutorials how to mod and other things. The RTG Is a little exessive because It is a tech tree less part. I want the Sandbox mode to have less troubles with electricity, As I had mine.

The fuel duct, Is indev, As I still need to look where I can reverse it to make that work.

I am not a photoshop master, So yes, currently I am reconfiging Squads parts.

[blackheart612]

You can show the image without us clicking it by using or copying the bbcode part, iirc, in imgur and pasting it here, or, clicking that picture logo beside the camera film in the bar while you type.

Anyway, it's too dark, where's your parts?

[Rofl47]

The oxidizer tanks are in the back, The RTG mark 2 is next to the mechjeb, And The reverse fuel ducts are indev, So they arnt on the craft.

[Rofl47]

I put it as the new folders, but I will check it out.

BTW: If your using chrome, Click the upper arrow and choose: Show in folder. This is what I was expecting users to understand, Like mechjeb or other mods.

[Javster]

Sorry if I'm being fussy, but what does the mod do? Also, to avoid complaints from others, look at other mod thread designs to see what looks good to you.

EDIT: found what it does (but took a bit of time)

[Rofl47]

This mod currently revises some stock parts.

[Rofl47]

Alright, comments are open again for the new version. I got some big news, NEGA ENERGY! I hope you guys like it, more will come.
