[v0.19] Damned Robotics Version 1.3

[viperwolf]

still working? (0.21)

Im not sure, i had to DL a vanilla copy and start over, one of mods i had was freezing in the VAB. after a few clicks i could not release the object. or get out of the game. i had to drop to desktop and kill it. so now im going to load each mod at a time until i find the one that caused it

Not releasing objects has nothing to do with DR.

[russkey]

I had that problem with the previous version of MechJeb2. The updated 2.0.9 fixed it.

[Tw1]

I have a problem where the parts seem to block others from loading. Will try again in the afternoon.

[TheTsar52]

After some SCIENCE! , My results are the same as what I believe Tw1 is talking about. Here is my results. http://imgur.com/a/Au7cc#0 Done in .21, not .21.1, with just DR installed.

Have you read any of the past posts? Use the Infernal Robotics plugin found on the very first post by DYJ or the Magic Smoke Industries thread. Wrap those DR parts CFG files with PART { }.

[Charles_Sparrow]

ok, im a visual learner, care to exemplify what you mean by wrapping the files?

Find the part you want to get working, Go into the part.cfg and add at the very top

PART {

then at the very bottom, add

}

That is all you need to do.

I did not say it did, i said i was starting over and trying one by one.

I believe the lazer (camera and robotic arms) mod was causing the problem, but they have all been updated now and work.

Changed all the parts, using the infernal robotics plug in, still not working.

What does the error log say. What version are you using of KSP?

[Tw1]

Windows, 0.21.1, (windows eight if that matters.)

I tried to get screen shots of the thing loading, not sure if anything stands out:

Javascript is disabled. View full album

It seems to skip the red and orange bits, so I pressed reload all, and it gave me this:

(I printscreened that.)

Lots of other parts were listed when I pressed the buttons in the alt + 12 thing there, if that's relevant.

Where are you installing these files at?

[asbo]

The parts vanishing is because you are using the version of DR from this thread, use this instead(click raw).

I was having the same problem and it took me ages to figure out, eventually I found that above link on the DROMOMAN robotic arms spaceport page

Make sure to delete MuMechLib.dll from your plugins folder if its there, that's what's causing the problem I believe.

[Tw1]

It's working!

That seems to have fixed it, I can play with my Dalek again.

Thankyou!

So use this and the cfg change (which I am still confuzeled about, I need some pretty pictures, as worded instructions are more confusing for me) and it will work?

I would advise against linking that zip. It's in violation of the license. Please use magic smoke infernal robotics dll. Take the original damned robotics parts and edit each part.cfg file. Place PART { at the very beginning of the body of text. Then at the very end place }

Make sure PART is capitalized.

So like this (for the claw?)

// --- asset parameters ---

mesh = Claw1.dae

So like this (for the claw?) Also, does this violate the licences by redistributing the code? (If so can this please be taken down?)

Poop, my second double post >

[sirkut]

Yup! For readability I would reach one on a new line.

PART

<everything else>

}

Thank you, I was in need of this mod, for a project to Duna. Also, because this uses a different plugin, does it work with docking?

It's merely a fork of the original plugin.I've just made one extra feature. Everything else is the same and you should have no issues.

I'm sorry, but I seem to be confused with your wording. Do you mean that the extra feature is docking compatibility (because yours can move while docked) or do you mean that your change made DR compatible?
