lo-fi Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 No no!!!! That's ancient, may have been 0.90. I wish I was that far along... At the moment, we're confined to a sandbox in the Unity 5 editor, developing there because it takes so damn long to reboot KSP after every code change. I could have spent weeks waiting for KSP to boot if I was developing this in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrbitalBuzzsaw Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Oh I see, why not make a new install all stock to boot? It boots in about 1min30secs for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It boots in about 1min30secs for me because that is 1m 30s too long. Doing it in Unity is near instant. Imagine if you need to test things 100 times in a day (not at all unheard of; quite common actually). Even at 1:30 for each test... you are wasting hours per day just loading KSP.

OrbitalBuzzsaw Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) I see you clearly are much more dedicated to these things then I could ever be! Great to see the progress, and I'm patiently waiting for a release date, and designing my hover-SSTO.

It really is a labour of love developing anything in KSP... For what we're doing, the Unity editor provides a much more streamlined environment. Looking forward to seeing that SSTO. My very favourite thing about this whole modding experience has always been seeing what people do with the KF parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you fixed the drifting apart during time warp bug with a bit of BD's code. But that was around the time of your much needed break from the KSP scene.

lo-fi Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 I did, but got stuck with persistence/reloading. Because KSP is... KSP. Besides, I could do it far better with what I know now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have spent weeks waiting for KSP to boot if I was developing this in game. Sad that I can only like this once. Even with parts, where you can adjust, reload, repeat, that takes ages. I've only done a tiny bit of coding for KSP, and I sympathize deeply for the coming time when you have to get around to testing within KSP.

lo-fi Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks, I'm kind of dreading that bit! I wish the loader wasn't so damn slow. I always run with a totally stripped down dev install, and even then it's frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unsure if it finds new configs if they don't request anything new. All Reload Database is good for is balancing (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushligh Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 also, idk how, but the maker(s) of the Buffalo mod got custom wheel coliders to work, their wheels seem to work nicely for me right now (albeit they need a lof of space to 'not be blocked'). maybe give the author a shout?

The Buffalo wheels aren't custom colliders, they're stock ones applied to custom models. That's still easily achieved. If they were custom colliders, they wouldn't have the "wheel blocked" behavior.

However, that doesn't reload the libraries that determine their behaviour, which I'm afraid is the issue here. That is why @xEvilReeperx has such an interesting suggestion.

WolfyAnimations Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Can anyone help me? I'm having trouble with the mod as it kinda works. When im in the SPH/VAB the parts show up but when i put them on and right click on them nothing shows up. When I fly the craft my ship floats in mid air even with the tracks and it dosint move. No animations happen either. Is there a way to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gist of it is as follows: The port to U5 killed custom adaptations of wheel colliders. In particular, this applies to KF. lo-fi and Shadowmage have been working on an entirely new wheel collider technology, set to be released sometime between and SoonTM.

0111narwhalz Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hey, @lo-fi! I just thought of a marketing buzzword you can apply to KF once it's released. Kerbal Foundries: Made From Scratch. Has a bit of a ring, right? No? Okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
