[1.3 - 1.2.2] Collision FX v4.0 (2017-03-09) Now with biome coloured dust!

[CaptRobau]

What this mod really needs to make crashes more spectacular is that parts that are not explosive (fuel tanks and such) won't explode unless they impact at very, very high speeds (at which point the friction forces would create temperatures so high that the non-explosive parts would vaporize). That way if you crash, most parts will just break apart, scatter and create a glorious cloud of sparks while they slide to a halt. You can see how cool that looks if you turn No Crash Damage on in the debug menu.

Pizzaoverhead, would this be possible to do?

Fiery explosions in vacuum are a no-no, so it would be a very good additional mod feature, I agree.

[lajoswinkler]

I guess this also makes Kerbal's heads quite hard.

I shall call this one Flinty.

Such a great mod.

Such a great mod.

Are you still seeing that with version 1.2? That shouldn't happen any more.

[Lechuza]

Wow nice work! 1.2 already! Keep the updates coming!

I see the last file on Curse.com is uploaded 9 hours ago. I'll update it and let you know.

I'm ok with Kerbals producing sparks on impacts, but if you're gonna remove it, don't remove the sound of them thumping into objects. Remember "Gravity". It was very nice.

I do quite enjoy the thumping. Especially when I load a truck with kerbals. *thump* *thump* *thump* *poof*

Wonderful mod.

P.S. It might be the part reacting to contact, and not the kerbals.

I have an idea for an addition to this mod:

You know when you land a bit hard with the deployable landing legs and they don't retract anymore because the mechanism is broken? What if a small burst-sounding explosion appeared in the cylinders of the landing legs when that happened?

Kerbals need their own sound effects. I've removed it for now, but I'll be adding it back when I have suitable sounds.

I have a bug fix in the works that should clean up the remaining issues for all craft.

Glad to know that's in the works!

That reminds me of something I hope can be implemented one day: defining "surfaces" that kerbals can walk on that can be on craft in motion -- like the floor of a cargo bay (or back of a truck)... but this isn't for this mod.

[PineApplePotatoe]

Hey hope you don't mind but i made a video showing these effects

Aka one of the most kerbal ways of training lol:sticktongue:

May I suggest thumping a microphone covered with cotton?

[CaptRobau]

I noticed that parks spark on contact in space. Don't sparks need oxygen to even happen? Maybe do a check for oxygen before the sparking effects are activated.

It depends. Some friction sparks are just incadescence due to friction heat, and the brigther ones are particles' surface oxidation.

[RyanRising]

I may have taken this a little too far.

[Kerbas_ad_astra]

This is going to be the new lens-flare for KSP videos, isn't it?

[BenjiGH]

awsome mod and it make spark even between parts (was it intended ?)

sry for the mistakes I'm from Belgium

[lajoswinkler]

Downloaded the newest version. Kerbals produce sparks when they run and touch objects. For example when they run and roll Spud capsule (even if they are on it, like a clown on a ball running), or run on a large procedural part surface.

Entertaining!

[BoomShroom]

Would it be possible to add a 'clunk' sound when docking ports connect? That would be absolutely amazing.

[Maikie_G]

Loving the mod, did find a small issue with it though:

[SquaredSpekz]

Hi! I noticed that you added configs for kerbal foundries tracks and wheels? I was wondering if you were going to add configs for the anti gravs...?

Release 2.0 is now available. It fixes these issues, and also the light and sound effects being stuck in some cases.

True this is an issue, needs more sparks.

[Drew Kerman]

v2.0, stock Small Gear Bay is still sparkling for me, but the KAX gear are fixed. Actually come to think of it in earlier versions it was just the KAX gear that had the issue and the nose gear was fine...
