[1.2.2] Stock Part Revamp, Update 1.9.6. Released Source Files!

[Headrip]

When using RealChutes, the docking port with Mk16 parachute cuts like 30 meters in the air if you're landing on water, does anyone know of a fix for it?

[GonDragon]

I come here to say that the mod works perfectly in 1.3, without any further modification. Just remember to download the latest ModuleManager.

Are you sure? Everything seems fine to me to, except for solar panels. None of them can be retracted, and none of them provide any power at all.

Yes, I just tested it again to be sure. The retractable ones can retract, and all of them produce power.

The only problem I found, is that the Engineer can't retract the unretractable solar pannels, but that was also an issue in 1.2.2 (I just never relate it to Ven's parts).

@Ven great mod, I refuse to play without. This is just what I need to get back in the saddle and play stock. Can't wait

@Ven Since this is a part mod, would it be ok if I ran it in 1.3? Would it run ok?

Guess that just leaves Kerbalism and I'm all set

[KerbolExplorer]

what we need now is to have this mod compatible with 1.3

Hey, so I'm seeing here that I don't need to wait for the mod to be updated on CKAN because it works with KSP 1.3. But while manually installing, I notice that the mod's GameData folder includes ModuleManager 2.7.2. I already have Module manager 2.8.0; is this going to be a conflict? I don't feel like I should have two MM versions, will Vens mod work with 2.8?

Thanks.

Delete MM 2.7.2, keep 2.80. Vens will work fine with either but KSP 1.3 won't like 2.7.2.

The small Mk16 parachute is slowing a mk1 capsule a lot less than in stock. In stock a mk1 capsule falls at around 5-6m/s after the chute is fully deployed. with Ven's installed the same capsule falls at ~11m/s fully deployed. Nothing else has changed except adding / removing the Ven's mod.

Is this intentional? I haven't tested other chutes yet.

I believe so - the Mk 26 slows the capsule down to the 6-7m/s range

you're correct, so the parachute stats are reversed then. The Mk26 is described as a drogue chute, but slows a mk1 down to 4-5m/s deployed. The Mk16 is supposed to be the mail landing chute, but it only slows the craft down to 11m/s.

Their descriptions are backwards from their performance characteristics

It should be a relatively simple fix, then. Try swapping the dragcube block between the two parts & see what happens (but keep copies of the original .cfg files for safety in case that doesn't work)

yep...I wrote a quick MM config to switch them...shared below for anyone else who's interested. Hopefully it can be fixed in the next update.

Right you are, my bad. There must have been some hiccup during installation, or some kind of mod conflict. It seems to work fine on its own, at least.

Does anyone have problems with docking? I can't seem to dock my ships together...

I only tested the Docking Port Jr, trying to do the weekly challenge, and works normally. With what size of docking port are you having problems?

And do you have the bumper deployed on one or both of them?

[ForgiLaGeord]

With a bit of trial and error, I can confirm that either StockVisualTerrain or Kopernicus conflicts with Ven's. Removing the Kopernicus, ModularFlightIntegrator (part of Kopernicus), and SVT folders fixed my solar panels.

I had this problem before. One of those things has a copy of Ven's within it for some reason. You can just remove the copy and the rest of the mod will work fine (assuming it was the same problem, of course).

  I used the Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port (which is the second to the smallest port.

I have the bumper deployed on the ship I'm controlling.

That's your problem then. The bumper is specifically designed to stop the ships from docking when it's deployed.

Ah that makes sense. I tried docking in sandbox with a little bit of help from the debug menu. Turns out I just need to hit it harder...
