Plugin Megathread

[Misterspork]

This megathread will be organized into categories of parts:

Autopilot- anything that takes control of the rocket

Part modules- Anything that adds the ability to create new part modules, such as alternative fuel.

Parameter modifiers- anything that modifies the values of your ship\'s position, speed, and other values; along with part parameters such as an instant orbit plugin, or parts that have more than one drag setting

Environmental Interactions- Uses parameters from the environment(EX: Temperature) in ways different from all above

Categories are also sorted by importance, meaning the higher up the category the more important it is to determining where a plugin goes.

EX: An autopilot that adds a part is considered an autopilot rather than a part module.

Inside the categories are sorted alphabetically.

LATEST VERSION UPDATES:

C7 Aerospace Plugin: Now C7A - Beta, added an experimental rolling gear module type, b for brakes, g to deploy

MechJeb: Updated to 1.7.3, Bug fixes, 14.3 compatibility, combined with The_Duck\'s Landing/Ascent autopilot.

RinComp: Updated to 0.4a, Synchronize Orbits Mode, Align Planes Mode with normal and anti-normal auto-orientations

Anatid Robotics: Updated to 2.0, New reentry computer; Auto-stage will no longer stage past the last stage with engines, Attempt to patch reported bug where ascent autopilot doesn\'t recognize liftoff

NEWS: 4/2/2012 Added Zoxygene mod, updated MechJeb

Old news

3/4/12 Created megathread; added gunner mod; Probobdodyne Sensors added, and new category added for this addon, Environmental Interactions

3/5/12 updated MechJeb; Updated organization system, now has subcategories under all module plugins for separate addons for the plugin by other authors; added Void Bukerneering addon; Added images and videos to all applicable; made plugin titles more obvious, I found it looked like a wall of text. Some bolding and font changing fixed it; added Silisko Industries Reentry Heat Plugin(no official name); added Oxygen Plugin

3/6/12 added Blinking Navlights

3/7/12 added Rangefinder; removed Jellycube\'s Railgun Expansion, as no news has been given as to whether the project will be started or not. If it comes back up I\'ll add it again.

3/8/12 Added Cart; changed up organization so categories are sorted in descending order of importance, AKA if a plugin adds the ability for parts to be created but that part is autopilot it will go under autopilot; Another change in organization, Part modules is getting large enough that it is split up into 3 categories, Fuel Types/Engines, Moving Parts, and Other

3/9/12 Added Anatid Robotics - Ascent Autopilot; more organization, added author names and version numbers to all plugins; Added escape decoupler

3/10/12 added RinComp

3/11/12 Changed up some organization; changed parameter modifiers description to be messing with any part or movement parameters, which now includes things like drag; added variable tanks and toggle family; added a new versions box

3/12/12 Added Start-Stop plugin, added PiSA Countdown Decoupler, added Position/Navigation lights, added two new WIP\'s from Silisko

I am taking suggestions for further organization. Please notify me if I missed any plugins, they will be added shortly.

Already a plugin subforum bud.

That subforum is plugin development and editing, suggesting it being where all the C# programers can discuss, development stuffs, I guess. Also, mostly everyone has posted their plugins on this subforum, Projects and Releases, because they are addon/plugin projects and some are released.

Either you tell everyone to move their threads to that subforum, or we have organization inside the subforum they\'ve already posted in, the latter being the easier option.

[NovaSilisko]

Add the Probodobodyne Sensors to the list?

(The two secrets are optional )

[Geeny]

When .14 was released, I was happy I wouldn\'t have to refresh the development thread every 10 minutes. But now that we have plugins and persistence, I\'m doing the same on this sub-forum. The potential for everything is just so huge!

Anyone else feel the same?

[Misterspork]

I added it to the list, didn\'t know about this one, and I\'m excited for it now that I do know. It also has its own category.

Anyone else feel the same?

I feel the same, the amount of innovation already in the plugins is astounding, autopilots, electricity, you name it. And the possibilities are endless. Imagine what this game will look like by the time it is considered a beta, let alone full release.

[witeken]

Nice. Sticky?

[TaTaRinBsB]

need plugin for wheels 8)

[Galactic Nexus]

need plugin for wheels 8)

C7\'s got it covered.

[Misterspork]

People are now creating separate part addons that require plugins, and these will be added to the OP shortly in subcategories underneath each plugin.

Would adding relevant pictures to the list be helpful or would it take up too much space?

[Festivefire]

photos please. it will help us figure out wich is a finished product, what is a plugin, what is a part that uses a plugin etc. etc.

Added images and videos to all applicable. Wasn\'t as hard as I thought it would be. Hopefully that helps. Should I add one out of spoilers as an example for each category? EDIT: Nevermind, I\'ve decided I\'ll do it.

EDIT: Added Silisko\'s in development reentry plugin.

[Geeny]

Looks like MechJeb is actually Dodadada. Might cause confusion, even if the spoilers should fix that up....

Actually that image above dodADA is one of MechJeb that\'s being used as:

Should I add one out of spoilers as an example for each category? EDIT: Nevermind, I\'ve decided I\'ll do it.

An example of the category basically. If it\'s confusing, do you have any suggestions? Should I just remove the example pics?

[Geeny]

I don\'t know, maybe change the order from alphabetical to popularity???

It\'s your thread, I just pointed out a potential problem, and it may just be me.

[claypool1]

You should add my rangefinder, it is in the same thread as m my blinking navlights.

[Drakomis]

EDIT

Hold on, lemme see if I can sticky it....

EDIT

There we go, stickied so long as it\'s updated. I\'ll keep tabs on it.

[Misterspork]

You should add my rangefinder, it is in the same thread as m my blinking navlights.

Added.

-snip-

Thank you very much .

[Cepheus]

There\'s Tosh\'s rover. My god, it\'s a piece of work.

[Misterspork]

Added above and did a bit of reorganization. I ordered the categories by importance(If something is a part module but the module is an autopilot it will go under autopilot) and split Part Modules into subcategories: Moving Parts, Fuel types/engines, and Other; also sorted by importance. This was due to the category getting too large.

[witeken]

Thanks Misterspork. You do great work .

[Blinkin]

You should list the Anatid Robotics - Ascent Autopilot too.

http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=8449.0

I saw that . I won\'t be able to do much as I only have access to my phone right now, in a couple of hours I\'ll add it.

And thank you too witeken .

EDIT: Added the above, and added author names and version numbers(So you can tell when you need to update) to all plugins.

EDIT DEUX: Added Escape Decoupler plugin, and added news summaries to the description that goes under the title.

[r4m0n]

Some random stuff, could go under Engine/Fuel for now: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=8560.0.

Also, if you would be kind to update the MechJeb screenshot to the latest version

P.S.:

I recommend keeping the sections in alphabetic order, or things will get pretty messy in the future.

[witeken]

Plugin megathread suggestion: A list of releases of new versions of plugins, so people their plgins are alwayse up-to-date. (Don\'t need to be complete version history but just the release date + name +new version, from the beginning when you start it.)

I\'ll add that shortly too .

And I might sort the sections alphebetically, though then it would be confusing why certain things go under certain categories. Unless you mean the stuff inside the sections, I was sorting them by progress on the mod(vaguely), so sure I\'ll sort it alphabetically.
