Hello,

I have a question, the addon AdvancedAnimator is the dependency for folding out the frame ?

if so, is it ok just to use the old version or anyone knows about some update ?

The problem is with the wheels and back on page 6

I posted a patch for the parts it still works the bumpers nodes are wrong they go on you just have to rotate them or you could make a MM like this post or edit it

 

[Synthesis]

I hope this isn't breaking any rules, but is anyone still looking into this? There seem to be a few custom fixes that I should probably try but I don't want to break the mod by going out of my depth--or is it fairly functional in 1.1.3 with those patches?

I definitely miss having an packable rover in KSP.

Dead mod...

[Virtualgenius]

Alexustas is back he just updated Alcor and I read he asked for testers for the ERS rover I wouldnt write it off just yet

Here's hoping that's the case. 

[R4mun]

I wish this mod Come back

[Aerospacer]

It's really amazing work, I hope to play with it again.

[cyberKerb]

I haven't had a chance to test this due to PC repairs - but does anyone know if the command seat unpack / animates OK in the current KSP version?

[Dux Aquila]

Anyone have the files to achieve a minimum of 1.4.+ compatibility? This mod should not disappear. Thanks in advance.

I've compiled a few of the changes from this thread and threw them into the 4 3 cfg files for the parts of this mod.

ASET_PRC_Wheel
I've separated the PRC wheels into this Dev query thread. Just note that @alexustas is looking for input there on what to change. If you know what might be needed to bring the wheels up to date, head over there.

Node: The below are cfg replacements, not module manager edits.

ASET_PRC_Platform:
Added ModuleKISItem
Tweaked where the item get carried on the Kerbal back for KIS
Used the FSanimateGeneric module for the deploy action (Firespitter becomes a dependency with this)
Corrected all wheel/ bumper nodes so they attach in correct orientation in VAB (KIS doesn't seem to get this right when attaching bumpers out in the field, wheels were fine)
Upped max temp to a default value of 1200
Added 50Kg to the mass to reduce how much it flew about when deploying it while it clipped into the ground.
Added Description (was blank in v0.1 file)
Added bulkheadProfiles = srf

ASET_PRC_Seat
Changed where the Kerbal is ejected when leaving the seat. Now it's just forward of seat at same level, rather than on top of it.
Added ModuleKISItem (didn't add backpack item cfg as I figured it was small enough for inventory)

ASET_PRC_Bumper
Added ModuleKISItem
Tweaked where the item get carried on the Kerbal back for KIS
Adjusted Node so they are oriented correct in VAB. KIS still loads it backward in the field but can be flipped manually (I need to check with the KIS dev if that's something to do with KIS or something we can fix in the cfg.)
Changed attachment rules to allow items to be attached to front of bumper. (As was shown in the Demo video that has an ASET light on the front)
Used the FSanimateGeneric module for the deploy action (Firespitter becomes a dependency with this)
Changed mass to be higher than command seat (0.65) old mass was 0.35
Upped crashTolerance = 7
Upped max temp to a default value of 1200

Awesome you guys have addressed these issues this is a great little rover hopefully the ERS rovers will be restored to there full functionality as well

Both the ERS and PRC rovers are being worked on by myself and a few other people.  Thanks to @Mecripp the PRC needs very little work.  We are going to try to reskin some of the ERS parts to add a few new modules.

 

I have messaged @alexustas about this, haven't heard back yet
