Infinite Resource Usage Problem

[boodahz]

I am trying to make some custom resources and an engine to use it, but I just can not get it to work right.

I am able to create a solar panel type part to collect "Photons" and then use a converter part mod to convert the "Photons" into "EnergizedPhotons" which are stored right in my engine. However the engine flames out because the resource draw is Infinity/sec.

The engine module for the booster is below. If I change the propellant to "LiquidFuel" and add some liquid fuel, the engine works fine, but as soon as I change the propellant to "EnergizedPhotons" the usage becomes Infinity/sec.

MODULE
{
    name = ModuleEnginesFX
    thrustVectorTransformName = thrustTransform
    engineID = KSX
    runningEffectName = running_closed
    exhaustDamage = True
    ignitionThreshold = 0.0
    minThrust = 0
    maxThrust = 10000
    heatProduction = 1000
    fxOffset = 0, 0, 0.5
    PROPELLANT
    {
        name = EnergizedPhotons
        ratio = 1
        DrawGauge = True
    }
    atmosphereCurve
     {
        key = 0 10000
       key = 1 8000
     }
}

Do resources like this need a dll file to work correctly? I didn't make one and was trying to get away with just modifying cfg files.

Here is an imgur album with some screenshots.

What does your RESOURCE DEFINITION file look like ?

Engines need some propellant with a mass. If the EnergizedPhotons have zero density, it screws up the ISP equation and gives infinity.

This worked! I had a 0 density in the Resource definition. Thanks!
