looking for two more or less specific mods

[TrooperCooper]

Heya!

I am looking for two mod features. Maybe someone can help me with these...

1.) If I remember correctly, a few days ago or so I saw a mod-thread about an addon that allows to enforce connection of parts in the VAB/SPH only at the connection node markers. I am working on stuff within an internal cargo bay and its a pain that subassemblies and parts want to randomly connect at every random spot on the walls etc. I tried to find said mod again but I am unable to. Maybe someone knows what I mean... if I havent completly misread it...

2.) Anyone know of a mod that more or less allows what Kerbal Attachement System (since it it seems like its not working with 0.24 W64bit) did with pipes and / or strut connection in space? I dont need winches, cranes and whatnot. I enjoy building larger vessels in space and / or surface bases and just need something to connect modules and / or sturdy docking connections. I looked at quantum struts, but not really happy with it...

If anyone could help, that would be greatly appreaciated.

Not sure if this thread belongs here or in the Add-on requests and support section. Feel free to move it if its inappropriate here...

Thanks!

1. Editor Extensions. Use ALT+R to turn off radial attachment.

Excellent! That was the one I was looking for. Many thanks!

That takes 1.) off the list. Any takers for 2.) ?

Maybe Active Struts...looks kind of like a mod halfway between Quantum and KAS...still WIP however.

Looks very intresting. Thank you for that info! I'll keep an eye on it and will prolly give it a try...

You can also use Docking Struts

I personally use it, and it still works for me in 0.24, 32 and 64-bit

The last page has a mirrored link, since the original is for the defunct spaceport
