smjjames Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 is there any problem known if i add this mod to a already running game? have put a station into orbit which took me two damn days because im a noob at docking and if i want to raise its orbit now, it wobbles to death so i wanted to give a few extra placed struts a shot?! thanks Nope, no issues with adding them in the middle of an existing game AFAIK.

NikoKun Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 The flexotube uses the same modules as KAS's pipe, just with models that look big enough to walk or crawl through. KAS could probably package the models MKS is using without violence to the license until someone has time to do it in a different art style.hmm, good idea.. If nothing else, I might try to extract that single part and it's model, at least so I can use it myself without having all the other stuff from that mod. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oversoul Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Can't edit the containers in the VAB. This is what I get out of the debug menu when I try.[Exception]: ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Argument is out of range.Parameter name: indexStrangely, no problem opening, adding or removing from the container out of the VAB. I've been using KAS for a while but only recently got it for my 0.90 version of the game.I am having a similar issue. My troubles started after I installed Universal Storage and KSOS. Prior to these add-ons, I could edit in the VAB just fine. I even flew out to Minmus and assembled a PackRat there using KAS.*UPDATE* Neither of those is the culprit. I'm going to try rolling this back to find the culprit. *sigh**UPDATE2* I think it might have been ATM. I pulled all my mods out and put them on a few at a time, and KAS was working. The only ones I didn't add back were KSOS and ATM (the new KSOS requires ATM). I did revert MJ from 2.4.2-401 back to 2.4.2 but I can't believe that would be the problem. So ATM is my best guess? I was using x86 basic.*UPDATE3* I just put ATM x86 basic back on after a crash. Editing KAS pods in VAB works fine. So now I am thoroughly confused.

I mostly use KAS for fuel transfer and just grabbing some stuff here and there. I am using ATM so if that's the culprit, I'll get it working soon enough.If it's not, I'll go on a full hunt.

ron1n1 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi KospyI love KAS. Since the 0.90 version, have you thought about adding something that only lets a suitably qualified engineer to attach/grab certain items on spacecraft. The Engineer profession is rather weak and KAS could really spice it up. I was looking at the config files for which items can be detachable and it doesn't look like that much of a stretch to add this.I thought a difficulty curve for objects might be coolA 1 star engineer can attach fuel lines togetherA 3 star can place pipes attachment on spacecraftA five star engineer could attach a MechJeb or extra engines/RCS thrusters. Sorry if you or someone else already thought of this but I only found a small section on Reddit for this http://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/2pjaty/engineers_have_minimal_utility_next_to/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KospY Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) For people who do not know, I'm working on a major overhaul of KAS. The first iteration of this will be the release of KIS (Kerbal Inventory System).KIS will be standalone and introduce a new way for grabbing, attaching and storing parts. It will replace the old container system in KAS and will be the core for all new "Kerbal Systems" mods. I will update then KAS to use the new KIS system, and remove the old containers system from it. Meanwhile, it will let's time to people to move parts from KAS container to new KIS container, by simply grab and drop parts ingame instead of editing save files. That also mean that KAS will be a lot more modular in the end, so people will be able to install only what they want (containers / inventory, pipes & struts, winches, etc...). About KIS, I keep working on it and this take a lot of time because I want it to be as polished as possible for the release. I'm also working to add modding capabilities, so modders will be able to create new items easly. I will not update KAS until KIS is released. I hope this will happen soon, as all majors bugs have been resolved recently, and main features are in. However, I can't give any release date for now.Hi KospyI love KAS.

Right now, it's pretty basic, it only check if the item can be equipped by the kerbal depending of his profession. But that can be expanded later if needed.For exemple, in KIS, if you want to attach a part on another part, you will need to use a specific kind of tool, only usable by an engineer. Difficulty curve / progression is done by unlocking new tools in the R&D building, rather than using experience from kerbal traits, to avoid confusing players. Ex : a wrench can only radially attach small parts, an electric screwdriver can radially attach bigger parts, a welding tool can stack and radially attach any parts, etc...

RainDreamer Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Whoa. That sounds like a lot of fun. Looking forward to KIS! Sounds like that will open a lot more possibilities for new stuff! Kerbal inventories! Gears and tech! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudbean Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I want to do something like this https://camo.githubusercontent.com/a104181a872b4bf20b8665e7c868a1fc34620440/687474703a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f55655964415a5a2e706e67 but without the need for eva or a cable. I want to end up in that 4th picture, I effectively want to connect a winch to a connector without having to go EVA. Ideally I'd get the winch port right up to the connector port, and they would connect once sufficiently aligned.I can do a very similar thing with a magnet, but the magnet can attach anywhere. I'd love a more precise alignment. I can also do a similar thing with two docking ports, but I don't want the two vessels docked (to be merged into one vessel). I'm willing to edit .cfg files and/or create new parts to get this behaviour, is this doable with any of the KAS* modules? I want to create a pair of parts like the end-effector (on the arm) and grapple-fixture (on the vessel) of the Canadarm. Thinking about it, it is very like a stock docking port behaviour, without the actual vessel-merging.I think the answer is no: the winch and the connector/port parts in KAS are EVA-oriented. Just wanted to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccidentalDisassembly Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Had a question - I'm having a problem where certain parts, which do have the correct modules in them to be grabbable and storable in KAS (like the EL survey stake), don't appear in the list of available parts when editing a KAS container.I.e. when I right click on a KAS container to edit it, there's a list of parts there I can add, but many parts are absent from it.Any ideas on what might cause this, so that I can go figure out what's wrong? Could a bad config (or something) cause a whole bunch of parts not to populate that list...? Don't want to reinstall all my mods one by one and whatnot =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you see the stake in the list of available parts (It's in Utility)? Right click on it and see if there's a bright green button on the bottom of its info page. Click that and you'll be able to put the stake in the container.If that's not it, I have no clue. But it happened to me and gave me pause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so used to buying everything as soon as it's researched that I forgot I was doing a little experiment on this save where I would buy parts as I use them to see which ones I never actually touch!

Panzerbeard Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'm curious, can the hook grab on to asteroids in the same way as the klaw? At the moment I can't really find much use for it since the magnet seems to be a better alternative most of the time, as far as I can tell.

sashan Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hook is used for anchoring to the ground. I use it all the time. You can make landers that land on slopes of low-g bodies, anchor cranes so that they can lift heavier structure, build thin high towers for solar panels, anchored with 4 winches on top and hooks, and much more. As for asteroids... Dunno. But magnet seems to work, at least it worked a year ago.- - - Updated - - -I've meant this type of tower, I did it some time ago:You can bring it in parts, then assemble in site using small dock ports. The most complicated part is putting it into vertical position after that, but it makes an interesting challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
