Does this mod, specifically the inter-planitary variant include the small mars rover/mover? The one that was like 21 centimeters long and stuff

https://www.planetary.org/space-images/mars3_roveranim

Afraid not, but weirdly enough I was recently thinking of how I could do it with a plugin and Unity Animation events.

Basically in unity, a rigid body cannot propel itself via pure animation (kind of, you can  achieve rolling, but not stepping like the prop-m does) as the model origin is always in the same place. So you need something custom to make this little guy work.

 

 

In other news, as you may have read, the forums may die suddenly.

I can't promise what will happen if that is true, but best place to keep up with if / when we go somewhere else is the github repo:

Don't worry man! Good luck on that! Also is there like a tantares wiki of some sort or part list so i can just see what you can make out of all of these parts?

Is there any trick to get the Rotanev Radial RCS Block parts for Polyus to work? I've done all the basic checks such as fuel delivery, turning the rcs on and off,  different fuel tanks with the same fuel, and even downloading other crafts with the part.

Not sure what the issue is at all.

Apologies for issues,

This is a config error, to fix, open:

Tantares\GameData\Tantares\parts\core_polyus

Throughout the config file, you will see the name:

rcsTransform

for example:

MODULE
{
name = ModuleRCSFX
stagingEnabled = False

showToggles = true
currentShowToggles = true

thrusterTransformName = rcsTransform
...

Everywhere you see this, change it to

thrustTransform

for example:

MODULE
{
name = ModuleRCSFX
stagingEnabled = False

showToggles = true
currentShowToggles = true

thrusterTransformName = thrustTransform


 

I did do a few test runs with it, should in theory work :wink:

I think its tolerances are not very high though, a shallow entry is best.
Sometimes KSP occlusion is not perfect and heat may sneak around shields.

Here's the solution for that. :^)

As for my work on editing tantares: I'm not making much progress so far. I guess I'll have to figure it out for a long time. So far, I've just removed unnecessary details from the mod in the game. and no matter how hard I tried, my game simply does not display the internal space as such. it will take a long time to figure everything out

Did I seriously never fix that?

Fixed for next release, thanks.
Best to open github issues if you find any similar issues, stuff in the forum will get buried or forgotten :) (Maybe even deleted soon)

are there currently any plans for an N1-L3 revamp?

Afraid not right now. Do you mean the LOK?

I still really like how the N1 looks, what do you feel needs revamping?

The N1 looks very good in my opinion, but some parts might need a little revamp, like the grid fins of the first stage of the N1 or the farings, aside from that.. i've seen that between each stage of the N1 the engines have some sort of cover to protect the fuel tanks so only the nozzles stick out.

N1 Fairing?

UR-200? 

I'll give a clue, it's not those, not a rocket, and it's the biggest thing I've ever worked on.

Could it be that one Mars landing proposal?  (Based on how the teaser image could be of an extending radiator tube like that of the proposal)

Spoiler

The one I'm referring to.

(Guess who: Soviet Space Program Edition)
