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

[Rodger]

If they're retractable, try retracting and redeploying them. Otherwise you might need to save-file-edit the panels back to a retracted state, then deploy them again. At least I think that'll do it...

Weird problem with the Mk2 (4m) pod in Realism overhaul...

The integral RCS appear to always be on and cannot be changed.  There is no propellent consumption, vessel translation or rotation.  I cannot seem to find the config file for this particular part and am wondering if it was inadvertently missed out in the command.cfg (and if that is the problem?)

Any thoughts are welcome.

(Was not sure if this question should be posted here of in the RO thread - oh well, here it is...)

Well, that's your problem! This is not a problem with VSR but with the RO part config of the Mk2. The RO repository (and probably the pre-release) already includes a fix for that so make sure that you have the latest RO beta testing distribution.

OK. Thanks for that.

Does anyone else think the exhaust plume for the Bollard is too high? 

I have tried to lower it, unsuccessfully. So far this is what I have tried:

Spoiler

I added

    @MODULE[ModuleEnginesFX]
    {
        fxOffset = 0, 0, 1
    }

and separately I added

localOffset = 0, 0, 1

to MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE

 

 

 

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

[Ven]

Dumping the source files, if any of you can re-host the files, and post a new link here that would be fantastic. Same licensing rules as the base mod (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2hst7myddq34kuk/VSR_Models.zip?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/t9lw5dm33x7i6g5/VSR_Textures.zip?dl=0

What remains of the unity files will be uploaded when I have more space to upload them.

It took two days to upload that second file.

assuming you are using RealPlume, just use the smokescreen interface in game to tweak the plume, then make a config with those settings.  There is probably already a config in the RealPlume-Stock folder, just match up the name of the part.   I've noticed a couple that do not look good.

I'd love to, what sorts of hosting would you like? 

I will host it on my own NAS and share the download link as soon as I finish downloading them.

Anything works, I just need a link to them XD

[MaxZhao]

Here's the link to the models, the textures will be much more painful I'm sure. I'll send you all the links in this post.

Models

textures

I have separated the texture files to upload but you can download them in one zip file

I wasn't using Real Plume, but that is a good idea. I installed it and unfortunately, RP adds a new module that it uses to adjust the plume. Looking at the RP config didn't really give me too much insight either. To clarify, I was trying get MM to edit this:

EFFECTS
    {
        running_closed
        {
---
            PREFAB_PARTICLE
            {
                prefabName = fx_smokeTrail_veryLarge
                transformName = smokePoint
                emission = 0.0 0.0
                emission = 0.05 0.0
                emission = 0.075 0.25
                emission = 1.0 1.25
                speed = 0.0 0.25
                speed = 1.0 1.0
                localOffset = 0, 0, 1
            }
            MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE
            {
                modelName = Squad/FX/ks25_Exhaust
                transformName = thrustTransform
                emission = 0.0 0.0
                emission = 0.05 0.0
                emission = 0.075 0.25
                emission = 1.0 1.25
                speed = 0.0 0.5
                speed = 1.0 1.2
            }

---

 By adding localOffset = 0, 0, 1 to MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE. You can see that it is a part of PREFAB_PARTICLE as well as being in other engines configs. I am assuming its lack of inclusion was simple oversight, but I could be wrong.

Again, separately I tried adding:

Spoiler

    @MODULE[ModuleEnginesFX]
    {
        fxOffset = 0, 0, 1
    }

This too is a part of several other engines with ModuleEnginesFX. For whatever reason, either poor MM integration, or something else I am missing entirely, it is not getting the desired effect. I have managed to lower the plume for another engine, which is why its frustrating I cant figure this one out.

Hi! Does anyone know why the Comms DTS-M5 keeps falling off my satellite during launch? I am running Realism Overhaul with FAR 1.1.3 and the satellite is inside a fairing. This seems to only happen to parts that 'snap under high dynamic pressure'. I don't place these parts outside of my rocket so does anyone know how to remove this trait?

[Starslinger999]

How do i Remove the specifc file of the Survey Scanner?

[Rodger]

I think the Survey Scanner being squished was related to having an old version of IndicatorLights Community Extensions, maybe try updating that if you have it:

Pretty sure that's how I fixed it while keeping Ven's model... but it was a while ago lol

Hi I'm A long time fan and I've been having shroud issues. that is the reliant however I'm having that issue with the nerv swivel poodle and a couple of others. i was running kerbal engineer, and docking alignment indicator however I've had this problem on a clean slate too.

Welcome to the forums!  There are two nodes on most of those engines.  One of them has the mounting structure, the other does not.  It can be a little fiddly to get the correct one in the editor, but not to difficult with some practice.

@Ven, you are incredibly generous to upload all you source files and Unity scenes, I presume with the idea that others can carry the flame and make the changes/fixes that you may not have time to do?

I also feel for you with you internet speed, let me comfort you in the fact you're upload rate is 50% faster than mine.

Pretty much. Though, there's quite a bit more stuff in there than just the models and textures currently seen (like the wheels/ landing legs, their finished. An unfinished LVN Turboprop and V2 engine) Plus it could be a learning tool for new modders I suppose, even with the broken Unity files. Sadly, during the unity 5 editor conversion, half of the mod vanished, kinda ending development. 

It's hard to believe that anyone could be slower... *shivers*

Thanks for taking the time to do that! I've added the links to the OP.

Dang it... neither link for the textures is working for me... Anyone else have any alternatives?

Why not use Github to host it?

yeah its not a lining up issues when you put them in even in isolation they always have the joining shroud and the one surrounding the engine

Were there any config changes in 1.9.6, or just the version bump to 1.2.2?

[Nothalogh]

Any plan to make the engine bells on the Spider and the Ant more realistic, being that they're upper stage vacuum engines?

Are the wheels in Unity set up for the post-1.1 system? If not I can go ahead and fix those as well.

Would be great to have the ability to add the Blender/Unity files for the legs and wheels.

I believe there were a number of fixes
