[SOLVED] 0.23.5 and resizing in the parts.cfg?

[Morgan]

Probably a dumb question but "scale = x.xx" has no effect, what am I doing wrong?

I did it before (older KSP version) and it worked. Added "scale = 0.25" under asset parameters, ingame old size.

Add "rescaleFactor = x.xx"

Think you need to add it like hope it helped.

scale = 1

rescaleFactor = 1.5

omg and I thought it was just "scale", "rescaleFactor" works.

Thank you!

hmmm, just in case you want a more complicated one, you can use

MODEL

{

model = Squad/Parts/Folder/model

scale = 0.8, 0.8, 0.8

}

scale = 1

lol

This allows you to have multiple parts that are resized through that hook to be in the same folder. If you use mesh = model.mu, even if there are 2 configs in the folder, they will appear as the same size if not.

Three things affect scale.

First, does the part use MODEL nodes? Skip to part B.

A (MODEL node not used; instead "mesh = blah" used)

1. "scale = foo" determines how the first three numbers for each attach node line (the X, Y, Z coords of the node) are scaled. It does *not* affect anything else. Default = 1.0 if not present

2. "rescaleFactor = bar" scales both the model (and its transforms) *and* the attach nodes. Default = 1.25 if not present.

B (MODEL node(s) used)

1. Inside the MODEL node, "scale = blahX, blahY, blahZ" determines the scaling of the model and its transforms. Default is 1.0, 1.0, 1.0. It does not affect node positions.

2. Outside the MODEL node, "scale = foo" works as above.

3. Outside the MODEL node, rescaleFactor works as above.

HOWEVER, there is a bug in scaling. For parts with MODEL nodes, rescaleFactor is applied twice to the mu, *unless* (a) the part is the root part of the vessel and ( you've reverted to launch (or perhaps switched in flight? Don't recall). All other times, it is applied twice. What this means is that if you have scale = 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 in the MODEL node (or no scale at all), and rescaleFactor = 1.25, then your mesh will actually be 1.5625 as big, but your nodes will be scaled outwards 1.25.

For this reason, when scaling parts using MODEL nodes, it is suggested to leave scale (outside the MODEL node) and rescaleFactor both at 1.0, and instead both change the scale = x, y, z inside the MODEL node and manually scale the positions of the attach nodes.
