Granted two days is kind of new. But are they really shutting down there page? yes his is "closing" it might be temporary but he "doesn't feel appreciated" Kerbal Stuff is shutting down On June 1st 2014, I started working on Kerbal Stuff. 20 months have passed. 1,191 mods have been uploaded and 20,407 users registered with the site. Today, I am officially closing Kerbal Stuff. I'll explain how it came to this. I built Kerbal Stuff after the announcement that KSP mods were to be officially moved to Curse. At the time, and still today, I did not feel that Curse would do right by the kommunity. I stepped up to build an alternative that would be much better than the mess Curse would provide. I built Kerbal Stuff to do right by the kommunity where Squad wouldn't. I opened up a beta and got some modders on board, and Kerbal Stuff was very well received. It's fair to say that Kerbal Stuff decisively won the battle over Curse, providing hosting for nearly double the number of mods. It boils down to Kerbal Stuff simply being better at it. Kerbal Stuff had no ads for its entire lifetime, emailed users when their mods updated, and cared more about the modders and the players. Undoubtedly Kerbal Stuff has had a direct impact on Squad's revenue - how many players must have hopped back into Kerbal Space Program after getting an email about their favorite mod receiving an update? In the past month, despite frequent downtime and slow page loads, Kerbal Stuff has served 1.2 million page views over 279 thousand sessions for over 84 thousand unique visitors. As thanks, Squad continues to endorse Curse as the official source for KSP mods. They refuse to even mention Kerbal Stuff in public. During the early days, they even pursued me legally for the use of the word "Kerbal" in the name (this was before they registered the trademark). Even setting Squad aside, running Kerbal Stuff is a largely thankless job. In fact, for the most part, I just hear complaints. Most people don't actually care about the effort put into it. Whenever I've taken the time to add features or make improvements or meet the requests of users, no one has shown any appreciation. I stopped volunteering my time and energy to extend this website, because my efforts were always met with silence or complaints. I don't have expectations of anyone. I don't expect anyone to gush over how great any new features I implement are. I don't expect Squad to support Kerbal Stuff as the official source for mods. However, these factors have contributed to the apathy I have for the ongoing maintenance of Kerbal Stuff. I'm not willing to invest more of my time and energy into making Kerbal Stuff faster or more stable. I have been well aware of the slowness and instability, but I simply have no motivation to fix it. I would like to thank those who have been supportive. Thanks to the volunteer admins for helping maintain the site. Thanks as well to the modders who chose to host their mods on Kerbal Stuff, and the users who chose to use it as their source for mods. All of the mods hosted on Kerbal Stuff are available via this torrent. The source code for Kerbal Stuff will continue to be available on Github.

Curse is a giant hunk of junk mess that is a pain to look through, yet squad continues to use it . Kerbal Space Port was better than curse. If anything squad should have went with kerbal stuff and endorsed it, but nope, money hungry scoundrels. I'm beginning to rethink my view on squad.

ChemicalMonkey Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I got a question/issue, is the Hydra-70 Rocket Turret not supposed to have an action group to turn enable/disable it? It's rather tedious having to click it to enable it and then make sure i don't shoot myself with it when i go to shut it off lol. I've ran through the config to try and figure out what it is missing (comparing whats missing in it with the what the Goalkeeper has as an example) but for the life of me can't figure it out. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought KSP when it was on sale and regretted not looking up the dev's history before doing so. CKAN has allegedly gotten a lot of volunteers, with any luck they'll be the future of KS.

babbos Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hello there, I am having some trouble enabling SAM sites. I am on OSX latest, KSP v1.0.5.1028 with BD Armory v0.10.2.1 fetched from github releases. I have re-installed my KSP from scratch and tried this with only the BD Armory mod installed as I was getting nuts why it didn't work... No matter which setup I try, the SAM sites will simply not fire any AA rocket, I've read all instructions and documents, saw the Youtube tutorial on how to setup SAM sites but no luck. Here's a setup using the Jernas Missile Turret: I've tried all other combinations using Adjustable Missile Rail and the Patriot Launcher with all combinations of AA missiles.. No matter what i do, after I enable the guard and the tracking radar the SAM turret will simply not work. It will detect and lock on the enemy ship but on each firing interval it will just print "Selected Weapon None" not selecting a missile and thus not firing: Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already present in .dae asset, but how do I put into .mu? Make sure the pitch and yaw transforms have local rotations of 0,0,0. For animations, add an animation component to the root gameobject and animate it again in unity. Since you broke the prefab relationship, the animation from the imported model won't carry over. (I always just animate in unity since I know I'm going to be messing with the hierarchy after importing the model) Edited February 16, 2016 by BahamutoD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sashan Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Ok, it rotates now but all around wrong axes. What's the correct orientation of yaw and pitch transforms? Turret is rotating around vertical axis and faces forward by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BahamutoD Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) For the rotation transforms, Z forward, X right, Y up. The whole part in general should point to global Z- though (see top right). 1 hour ago, Kill3rCat said: Odd. Cannot attach TOW missiles to TOW rack. Known issue?

Kill3rCat Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Sure thing. Gimme a sec. ---------------------------------------- 5 min later: Ok, odd. I just installed a mod (StripSymmetry), and at the same time deleted a few old redundant ones I no longer use. Upon restarting the game, the part attaches fine. I know not if it was the restart (unlikely) or some issue with a removed mod (more probable, but still?) which fixed it. Thanks for your time, anyhow.

Kill3rCat Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Ah, by the way... Would it be too much of a hassle to code in a 'bomb decouple delay'? I.e., in addition to the decouple speed and drop time, a setting which makes the bomb release x seconds after you press the relevant action group. There are certain situations where it'd come on handy. I don't think it'd be a big pain to code in, but then again I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
