Krasimir Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Download:KerbalStuffCurseThis pack adds 5 EVA handrails for space stations and science vessels, more suitable than ladders in weightlessness.Handrails are usable and can be grabbed by a kerbal while on EVA and used to walk around your space station/spaceship.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Under the name of: "NEBULA space engineering" i will release more parts some of them currently wip.Comming next:Modular trusses.Unshrouded fuel tanks.Decorative windows.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------License: CC-BY-ND 4.0Cool video spotlight made by KyleKidd Edited November 19, 2014 by Krasimir Spelling error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Wow. Actually, the way you set it up, they seem to add a lot to a station. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantes99 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Okay, these look awesome! I hope they are really low on mass as well because I'll have these all over the place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krasimir Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Pls tell me if you think that weight must be lowered. Any feedback is much appreciated! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montyben101 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hmm this is a really good idea, however these will add a LOT of parts to large stations making a ton of new lag... Could you make a part which goes around 2.5 meter parts? or one long hand rail?I do like the idea of this but hand rails made to fit parts like that would be amazing, I just wish I had added these to my ISS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffersonFlight Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Very cool, glad to see you got this working correctly. They are a great addition to KSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krasimir Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Unfortunatly i dont think this is possible montyben101, due to how the colliders work. I can do however longer straight rails. Edited November 18, 2014 by Krasimir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartoffelkuchen Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Great addition! Now ylu even can play Gravity..you don't have too attach an ugly ladder, now the kerbals can grab a nice handrail while trying to board a ship which is reentering into the atmosphere...Anyway, Nebula...sounds bit like Ebola, that confused me a bit...

duckofthemoon Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Perhaps, if you give the parts the line in the cfg "physicssignificance=0", then a lot more can be put on stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krasimir Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Perhaps, if you give the parts the line in the cfg "physicssignificance=0", then a lot more can be put on stations.I will try that to see how it works! thanks for the suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NecroBones Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Perhaps, if you give the parts the line in the cfg "physicssignificance=0", then a lot more can be put on stations.Yes, I would absolutely do this, but it needs to be "1":PhysicsSignificance = 1The stock ladders are set this way, and it removes the physics calculations from the parts, which you'll need if you're putting a lot of them on something, so your framerate doesn't drop to unplayable levels.

Eleven Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The goodies keep coming! Every time a new parts pack like this comes out I go "Why wasn't this stock from the start??!?!?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helix935 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Looks great! although are you working on stockalike textures soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krasimir Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think i have found a way to make single part circumference handrail check this out:Im still experimenting with it but it looks that it works! ill make 1.25 and 2.5 meters after some more testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptRobau Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Played around with it a bit. Things I'm missing: longer straight handrails and ladder that would be able to make you do a 90 degree turn (for moving from the stack handrail to a handrail on a part that sticks out radially from the stack).

Krasimir Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Played around with it a bit. Things I'm missing: longer straight handrails and ladder that would be able to make you do a 90 degree turn (for moving from the stack handrail to a handrail on a part that sticks out radially from the stack).Expect the longer rails as well as full circumference ones As for making 90 degree turn you shouldnt have problems, if you have any try to play with the spacing between the rails, in the following image kerbal have no problems taking any of the turns between the rails. If you have troublesome turn try with facing it with the feet so the kerbal head is not colliding with it EDIT: On a second thought i may indeed make 90 degree turn part to avoid trial and error builds.

andysim212 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 loving this mod. Longer rails would be awsome!Sometimes the simplest mods are the best Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingonaut Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Could we get silver handrails rather than gold ones as an option? It'd fit the stock feel better, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekan1k Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Could we get silver handrails rather than gold ones as an option? It'd fit the stock feel better, in my opinion.In the same color as the stock ladder segments? That way, the texture of the ladder segment could be used on these pieces, and it would cut down it's ram use to next-to-nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krasimir Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Could we get silver handrails rather than gold ones as an option? It'd fit the stock feel better, in my opinion.I almost finished implementing Firespitter texture switcher, so expect more textures with ability to change them via GUI in editor or while on EVA in the next update of the mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakan Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Wow, these golden (bronze?) handrails should go really well with my steampunky ships from the Vertical Propulsion Emporium May I package your mod for the CKAN effort so it is easier to install and keep in sync?
