allista Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 The good news is: KSP-1.0 is awesome! They finally added all the essential functionality (like aerodynamics and reentry heating and versatile engine models) that modders' community striven to maintain until now.The "bad" news -- the API was changed significantly (Squad's code became more streamlined and effective in many ways as I've seen so far), there are many new part parameters from the new physical models and all.While a simple recomplilation may be a matter of a few hours, proper adaptation of the Hangar will take time. The time I don't currently have in enough quantity to work effectively.So the best course of action, it seems, would be to release a "working" recompilation ASAP, and then to work on a bug-report basis.

Denko666 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 eagerly awaiting an update to 1.0, this mod has become one of those essential things to have ingame like KAS and Mechjeb. Fair codings to you Allsta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allista Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 This excites me very much So far it does not look very good, I'm afraid.The version I've compiled against KSP-1.0.2 (by simply fixing naming inconsistencies) does not work, raising many new NREs in previously tested places. Some of them I've already fixed, but I don't know how many more there are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasseji Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Oh boy! Now THAT is the real pain Did you think about getting together with the guys from KAS/KIS ?I believe they are trying to do something similar in future releases (Vessels storing listed in KIS Forum Thread as planned feature), might be perhaps a good idea to put your heads together and merge both mods as both of you are working now to update them to 1.0.2 Edited May 7, 2015 by Jasseji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunebugmi Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hi I'm new to the forum. Thank you for your work on the Hangar mod. I enjoyed using your hangar mod with ksp0.9 and I wanted to mention that it is an almost essential tool for another mod: Netherdyne Mass Driver Mod by NorthStar1989. The mass driver accelerates whatever is inside its radius, but it is extremely difficult to get a ship inside another ship without a complicated decoupler network. With the Hangar mod I can connect a hangar to the mass driver, and then when I release a ship from the hangar it is acting as its own unattached entity, which makes it possible to accelerate with the mass driver. Even better, if one wants to fire the mass driver at 90 degrees with respect to gravity, the hangar body prevents the unattached ship from falling out of the acceleration radius due to gravity.The specific hangars useful for this were the spaceport and the spaceplane hangar. Maybe I should mention this to the NorthStar guy as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smjjames Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 ETA on this working for 1.0.2? I miss being able to use the hangars already for transporting lots of small craft without lots of lag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be a huge work. But KAS may certainly use my code and count on my help if they decide to incorporate some of the Hangar's features.- - - Updated - - -Hi I'm new to the forum.

Arm it and aim carefully: it is best to attach it to a flat or slightly convex surface, so that the distance from the surface to the middle of the hatch is minimal. Imagine that the hatch has a very short hook at its center. Edited May 13, 2015 by allista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fell-x27 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Anyway, developer remember about mod and users.

curiousepic Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Whoa, I was just thinking this capability would be really useful, especially for big missions. Way to go!That said, it would be nice to have somewhat more... stockalike models for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorbane Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 How broken are the configurable tanks? Would it be possible to split them into a separate mod? (I rarely use the hangar functionality, but instead rely heavily on those tanks to haul materials with which to build craft on site.)

Aaron Also Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 allista, Best of luck on your work project. I sincerely hope it all works out well for you. Please, care for yourself and real life but don't forget about us all. I, and I'm sure many others, are eagerly awaiting your update to this unique and useful mod. Best wishes, -A.A.

smjjames Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm also seriously missing the hangars XD They're great when you want to bring along a whole lot of probes without killing your FPS or making the part count huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheXRuler Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 First of all, thanks for this mod, as I am still waiting for 1.0 updates on other mods I can use this (yay) so I will download it soon. One question however concerning stored vessels. The OP states that vessels are unloaded, does this mean their mass is removed as well? Or does the mod account for that seperately?
