[PLUGIN, PART, 0.17] Bigtrak KSP Edition v.30 Liltrak

[MrMoog]

I have done that with little-to-no success. I have even switched ships with the keyboard shortcuts and it won't let me go to the space center or end a flight in another vessel's control, either.

If you're using MechJeb 1.9.1, there's currently a problem with decoupled parts with this version. It can get the game stuck and making it impossible to get bat to the space center, of ending the flight. Try without MechJeb, or go back to version 1.9, until 1.9.2 comes out.

I beg to differ, I dropped it from 500m on kerbin, it landed wheels down and then exploded as I would have expected

Well, not necessarily indestructible on kerbin. It's a TANK on the Mun/Minmus, though.

Now I`m creating amphibious version of the both trucks. There is no sucsess so far, but i`m still trying.

Chicken, i recommend that you update your cart plugin to 1.34 because the one you have now (cartcommand 1.33) causes some serious conflicts with Tosh's new 1.34.

Can someone help me? I've been browsing this thread for hours and cant find any link to the lander craft (cuttlefish from memory), although I've found and downloaded 3 Big/Liltrack links so far

This is the .23 version, make sure not to overwrite the new Bigtrak stuff if you want working hatches. http://www.rustedjunk.com/crap/KSP_Bigtrak_v.23.zip

I'm poking around at getting Cart 1.34.1 working but it seems to not want to compile, I think it may be missing a referance but I'm not sure. The Assembly-CSharp.dll and UnityEngine.dll that I used before per Tosh's notes in the source readme don't seem to be all its looking for. I'll keep playing with it when I have time but it could take a bit of work. Coding for me is like being drunk and trying to walk home, eventually you get there but you can't remember how.

[haydn1997]

Thanks, worked a charm. Been trying to get a rover to Bill, Jebediah and Bob for a while now

How's it coming chicken?

(sorry for asking again, but i really want the trak's to work again because the cartcommand made my other plugin a bit.. wonky.)

Also, i really like your avatar, it suits your name.

[chickenplucker]

Progress is pretty much stopped right now Heading up to spend the weekend playing around on some sand dunes and have been feverishly rushing to put a new engine/transmission in the truck for the trip and won't have time to play around with updating the plugin until I get back. Well, if it rains I may bust out my laptop and poke at it some more.

Free time has been at a premium lately and I'm really hoping that things slowdown soon.

Thanks for the complement on the avatar, its very... chickenish

Does this mod still have the Cuttlefish Lander?

[Elven_sword]

It does not for the moment. I think he's working on one for the liltrak and giving the crew module hatch support.

[Cooly568]

The only problem i have with this is when i put the puddle jumper on the bigtrak it says hatch is blocked. sorry if this has already been reported.

[Elven_sword]

Cooly, it has already been reported. He's working on a fix for that.

CP, I made some promo images for the liltrak! Feel free to use them! http://imgur.com/a/58DBu

Also, the back of the crew hatch has a mustache: http://i.imgur.com/a812d.jpg

[halocon720]

Another question: Are the Bigtrak/Liltrak parts? I put them in my parts folder and they won't show in-game.

[Elven_sword]

They are command pods now.

[CrashnBurn]

I'm not using the mod at the moment, the lag is terrible, 1fps, when I get a BigTrak or LilTrak near another craft. I'll have to do some testing to see what's going on. I think it might be a conflict with parts that use cart.dll on the other crafts.

[haydn1997]

i know this is a bit *a lot* off topic, but whats the fastest anyones gotten the BigTrak to go unassisted? with a full puddlejumper tank/set i got mine to 80.3 m/s

[IceCaps97]

I'm having some troubles with actually selecting the cars in the parts menu. When I try to press one to add it, it thinks I pressed the next valid part to the right (for me its the 3 rings used as ladders). If you have a solution please help

[haydn1997]

once the model is illuminated and spinning click on it and wait a moment before moving it into the build area, should work most of the time

[spamanator500]

Why no cuttlefish!!!!

[Elven_sword]

Haydn, i've gotten 85 m/s witt the bigtrak, but with the Liltrak I've gotten 120 m/s on the ice lakes of Minmus.

:cool:Challenge accepted!

and maybe with an assisted BigTrak as well.

I think it might be a carts and bigtrak plugin conflict, they both define the same classes both of which are slightly different, I think I have a solution to fix both carts and bigtrak but its just finding the time and motivation to sit down and do it (I'm thinking one universal plugin that covers both bigtrak and existing carts at once)

Request: In previous versions you've included lights. In version 3.0 they're gone. Please add them again because they're mighty usefull as landing lights.

They're in the "Old Version of Bigtrak" linked in the first post. I imagine they'll be included once everything else gets straightened out with the new version.
