[v0.90/v.25]Transparent Pods v1.2.2 for KSP v0.90

[Cdodders]

I do have it, I downloaded the full thing

[Cdodders]

I can use the jet engines, the cockpits (tho iVA view out of the window/monitors is upside down in some), some rcs parts, but the props dont turn and the fuel tanks dont come up as having anything in them, no addtional info in the part cataloug in the buildngs, I right click the part and nothing

[nli2work]

try just the plugin. the full package may not have the newest plugin.

iVA view out of the window/monitors is upside down in some

do you remember which ones?

If you're using ATM, that's normal.. ATM crashes a lot with this mod while it tries to do the initial texture conversion. It took me 8 crashes/restarts for ATM to convert all textures, but once you passed this initial nuisance, KSP will load fine and RetroFuture will work well

I have consistent ATM crashes, I think it's my ATM config that's faulty. for the time being removing the RF_ATMPatch.cfg from RetroFuture/Patches/ should get rid of the texture related crashes.

TransparentPods have been tested in v0.9; all appears to be in good working order. minor texture update so the glass panels are slightly more visible; still transparent.

requires RPM v0.90 DLLs provided by MOARdV++

working on testing RetroFuture

Excellent! Was hoping this would get updated!

Is the main dll in the full download the 0.9 version? You may need to still overwrite it with the newer standalone dll.

KSP keeps crashing on me during the load-up; it always freezes on RetroFuture parts, not one in particular, but it seems to be fairly random. I have updated the Firespitter .dll a while back and had not issue loading KSP until I downloaded RetroFuture. Anyone else having this issue?

Is retrofuture running on .90?

You also need the Resources/Firespitter.cfg from the Firespitter parts pack. Without that, any parts that use the FSCoolant resource (mostly electric propellers) will cause a hang upon loading.

It works mostly fine if you have the Firespitter.dll and .cfg installed properly. There are a couple things that act kind of weird, but they did the same in earlier versions of KSP.

Hi!, I'm using your cyclops command pod, and was wondering if there's a simple way of changing the navball reference. I find it odd that you are facing horizontally, and the navball is pointing up!, I want to use it to make a robot, and need the navball to point where the kerbal is looking from inside

I took a look on the CFG, but couldn't find anything useful.

Thanks a lot, love the mod.

@m1sz: I think the easiest way is to mount a docking port on the chest of your robot and select "control from here" from its right-click menu after you launch.

I agree there ought to be something more intuitive to do that.

Thanks! I'll look for the new .cfg and try it out again

YEah, but whenever I go inside the cockpit (IVA) it resets :-(, I want to change it in first person mode too

I have the same trouble using these pods as rover cabs. The way they are is fine for landers where you need to know when you're going straight up or down, but a pain when travelling horizontally.

[Commander Zoom]

Love those pods.

[Tidus Klein]

Crashy Crashy....this crashes my game....something bad, game crashes every time it trys to load a retro part,

yes I have FScoolent, yes I have firespitter.dll v9.

[Tidus Klein]

hmmm it seems retro does not like OPEN GL mode, that was the source of my crashes, I will continue to test thou

[SWAGATRON]

Any idea of the ETA for the 0.90 version of RetroFuture? Or do we just have to use the 0.25 version for now?

[Gaalidas]

Either way, you'd still have to use that version if you want to use his parts. Considering his parts make use of plugins handled by other parties, then if those mods are .90 compatible so will this mod, no update required.

[SWAGATRON]

Unfortunately, nothing is working against the problem I'm facing. Whenever I launch KSP (OpenGL or non-OpenGL) it crashes every time it gets to load the RetroFuture files in GameData. But without the files for RT, it works just fine. I have a thread created for this problem, reply here with your solutions: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/110132-KSP-keeps-crashing-with-RetroFuture

EDIT: Yes I appear to be having the same problem as Tidus Klein and everybody else, something must be done I really think this mod is amazing and urgently would like to try it out but can't because of ths.

You need more than just the updated Plugins/Firespitter.dll. You also need the Resources/Firespitter.cfg from the Firespitter parts pack. Without it, anything that uses the FSCoolant resource will cause a hang during loading.

I find I'm repeating this a lot.

And what if we had those? Then what? I got the firespitter.cfg and .dll but now what? Is there some specific version we need to use of Firespitter?

[Argentum Fox]

Does anyone know why i can't EVA from the Command Module Mk2? (can't exit, module has no hatch). There does not appear to be a visible door.

[ArchmageNydia]

The problem you have here sounds like the ActiveTextureManagement problem. Remove the ATM patches from your retrofuture files and it should work just fine. You can also simply remove ATM. The same thing happened to me and this fixed it.

[SWAGATRON]

Yes that worked thanks so much I was on the bleeding edge of just quitting on the whole installation for RT!!! +1 Rep to you sir!!

[DaniDE]

Thanks for this mod. Stunningly beautiful command pods! Absolutely love it!

Edit (after I read the last few posts): works fine for me with OpenGL and ATM (KSP 32bit on Windows)
