lifegrasp Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I thought at one point I did not have to assign keys to use the servos, just use the gui. Now I have to assign them in the keys field in order to use them. Could there be conflicts with an action assigned to the same key you assigned to the robotic part?

flightmaster Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Mine works fine for most of the time, however, I was making a tow truck that involved a hinge, a girder, another hinge and then a docking port and whenever I dock the arm to another docking port, I lose all control of the robotics. If I go to the space center and then re-select my flight from the tracking station, the two objects are still docked and I have control again... Any ideas?

teohoch Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 is there a way to make this compatible with mechjeb 2.0x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAL002 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 So I assume this is why it keeps crashing? I dont even have the mechjeb part on my rover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm2227 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Okay somehow it works again, strange. I also use it together with mechjeb, but it's version 1.9.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacha Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I am having some trouble with the Damned Robotics parts. Whenever I set different servo groups as usual, they are condensed into one group when outside of the VAB (after/on launch). They work, but not independently anymore. Old vehicles work as they should, but when you change anything the same thing happens; everything goes into one (the first, I think) group.I did install two mods (KAS and Docking Cams), but I uninstalled those and the problem persists. What is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camacha Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Well, I've done Jeb proud, I seem to have broken my install completely. I will see if I can fix it, otherwise it is a fresh start for me. Well somewhat fresh, I think my saves are okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabactus Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I love being able to rotate parts but is there a way to stiffen up the rotatron so it doesnt flex as much under force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcaalock Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 game freezes at loading mod parts. Any idea why? It`s on clean install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren9 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 game freezes at loading mod parts. Any idea why? It`s on clean installThat's happened to me, it loaded after about 5 mins and now it loads the same speed as other parts. No idea what could cause that.

Read have Read Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I cant seem to get any of the servos to respond to control inputs. They sit there and behave like the floppy hinge and ball bearing from modular multiwheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the same keys for every servo, they're still controlled separately with the mouse buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a key binding in settings?The "Servo Configuration" box that pops up in the VAB/SPH when you use the robotics parts. It has "Group Name" and "Keys", you need to put the keys in.

Rusk Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thats some hot stuff mate!As for the control window I don't mind it floating about in VAB but is there any way to hide it during mission and bring it up when you need it? My GUI is already cluttered as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devo Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 is there a way to make this compatible with mechjeb 2.0x?They are totally different things now, I asked R4mon and he basically said DR is DR, and now mechjeb after 2,0 is simply mechjeb, as you will notice there is a new .dll for mechjeb2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheExpert Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hey, love this mod!I skimmed the thread but couldn't find it:Is there a way to lock hinges or a better way to make folding wings that don't flap when you control them?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's such a great cost to keep the old DLL to have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndonguitar Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Damned robotics stops working when docked for me, I tried to make a rotating truss with large solar panels connected to it so I can it can have 360 degrees full coverage of the solar light without switching the whole station over.I tested it before connecting = ok it rotates, After I connected it and boom, no move, I thought its trying to spin the station instead so tried to disconnect a large portion of it and still nothing rotatesHere is the pic. You can see the rotator part between the fuselage and the truss Nevermind, It works now after selecting the station again from tracking center Edited May 4, 2013 by lyndonguitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkaelDren Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Was wondering if anyone could help me with a quick question. I have changed the rescalefactor on all of the robotic implements so I can have 3 different sizes of each, .75 .5 and the original. I have separately named each part but as soon as I reload any of my saves that include these new scaled parts, they load with the original scale. I'm not trying to rip anything off from this great helping mod, I just need a few different sizes. Thx AllDren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacha Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Did you change the name = PartName too and not just the title? I made the same mistake, KSP just loads two different parts as the same part in succession, so nothing appears to happen. KSP needs to understand internally they are two different parts too.
