tjsnh Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Request : When making the .cfg files for the "clean slate" Tantares pack, is it possible to use unique part names that won't conflict/overlap with parts from the "old" Tantares? For example "name = TantaresNG_Crew_A" instead of "name = Tantares_Crew_A"? (or something like that) The reasoning is that it would make things far more simple for modders to make modulemanager patches if both mods are installed side by side. To be specific, for my own mod I'd like to allow the user to have the "new" and "old" installed side by side, and use a simple modulemanager patch to remove the "old" parts which have been replaced/updated, without requiring them to go in and manually delete directories etc etc if that makes sense.

tjsnh Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Those new parts are looking great! I particularly like the new comms dish and docking port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Antenna is quite comfortable to fold, as seen here, it does not take up a wide space. They fold out correct as the real Soyuz. I would also like to include to older IGLA style Antenna with the Soyuz parts as it is a better fit there. As a random bonus, flags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjsnh Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Those folding panels look absolutely amazing! They're going to be fixed once deployed right? Not rotating to face the sun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call. The stock tracking-panels will fill that role, non-tracking ones add some flavor, are more "accurate" to the real-world parts being represented, and frankly can be more useful. For example - modeling a Vega-style probe bus, with it's panels, in KSP is/was/would-be very difficult without some non-tracking panels.

"It's a feature" Spoiler I think a Tantares claw would be useful, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I will make the new 1.2 version available soon, so people can play around with them a little. I just need to complete bump-maps + advanced (modern) solar panels. Edited September 30, 2016 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some probe bus parts in the "monkey business" mod, but it certainly seems to be an under-represented bit of parts in terms of stock-alike-ish packs.

NeoFatalis Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) I have two questions : 1.About two weeks ago you showed a picture of a cheaper souyz capsule without a hatch , will it be in the release? 2.Is there going to be a revamp to the progress parts and the progress orbital modules?(I don't really think they actually need a revamp..)
