Maikie_G Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 You can probably make them quite a lot smaller now, since there are no part to part collisions anyway. Decided to start up blender this evening. Very sloppy rigging, just a first go at making a hand.First thing I thought when I saw this was, 'Can I use this to grab kerbals in orbit and/or squeze them to death?

rkman Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 People who think the DR parts are to large can try rescaleFactor = 0.5 in the part cfgs. I tested it briefly and it seems to work (aside from other issues this plugin currently has). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyHook Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 VERY nasty bug to report here. The parts shake themselves at normal intervals when i climb out of the atmosphere. The shaking gets more intense when extension/flex/rotation is increased. Idk if anyone can do something about this but I thought I would report.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that nobody has any clue about what's causing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colmo Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Just a little tip - powered hinges and rotatrons can be used as part of a suspension. This helicopter can take a 100m dead drop.http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/showthread.php/14894-0-16-Damned-Aerospace-Colmo-Korp-Aeronautics?p=233890&viewfull=1#post233890 Edited August 12, 2012 by colmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wjolcz Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Awesome pack. It's hard to place the door hignes, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaupell Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Love the pack, but noticed some problems, sometimes when launching into space, the moving parts starts to suddenly excert a force in a random direction. if making a claw with girders then the claw would open/close at 2 second intervals and the force meter jumps up and down each time, which also makes flying quite difficult.

MOhon Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 It's very interesting and I really like, but I would like to reduce the size pieces to use in a rover or at least be more discreet.Is it possible?Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorwanabe Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I know people have already posted a little about the Spasm issue of Damned Robotics while in space. I've created a short video showing the issue:No issues on the ground. But In orbit there is an issue:<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oeUi1I2LUA0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Spasm here as well with unfolding hinges with strut arms for satellite. It is ok at "home" position but has spasms in orbit (only orbit) when moved away from home rotation position.Also when reloading flight it forgets hinge position (but not position of thing attached to thing attached to hinge.)

I'll try to isolate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe_Ruckus Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The spasms happen every 6 km travelled. They happen at launch +6km/12km/18km too, but since you're moving 6km every 3 seconds in orbit it's much more noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katateochi Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I've also had the spasm/twitch issue!! I know there are other vids of this glitch already in here, only reason I've added this one too is it also shows an "elastic" issue which I think is linked to the same problem. U only need watch the first few seconds to see the elastic issue, the rest shows the same twitching as the other vids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYJ Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 That's unfortunately not an issue with the mod but rather a game issue, it's just particularly visible with when using robotic parts. Making a long arm using the truss bits (or structural fuselages) will make the same issue as obvious. There is a thread somewhere discussing this issue with stock rockets somewhere.Hinges forgetting their position on the other hand is something we(r4m0n) can probably fix.

Hyratel Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 they're not actually forgetting their position - it actually skews the "trim" if you will. a powered hinge , if left at one end of throw will get reset to neutral, but it is still at the end of throw - and will clip-twist through itself to get its entire range. that is to say, if upper limit = 256, lower limit =0 and neutral is at 128, if you move it from 128 to 0, and switch back to it from another vehicle, the hinge resets to 180* but it's still at 0 and 256 is offset/skewed out of place by the amount it was rotated to begin with. it's not a matter of forgetting, it's a matter of not being put back on redraw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a long arm using the truss bits (or structural fuselages) will make the same issue as obvious. I made a long arm using the truss bits and the same issue is not there! You can clearly see elastic flex, but the elasticity looks right, the objects stay connected. With the hydraulic rams, the ram part comes right out of its casing (and looks way silly). It looks to me like the same curve for flex is applied, only the mesh can't be deformed smoothly so you get a stepped effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYJ Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 What I was referring to was the spasm that occurs at 6km which is visible both with or without hinges.The weirdness with the hydraulic cylinders is primarily caused by the fact that they are weird, their linear springyness for example is not applied in the same direction as the translation.
