sirkut Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The joints, I have arms and stuff attached to them that are supposed to deploy, but it cant launch deployed because of the procedural fairing.What part is what I meant. And you mean just move the attachment node? Or actually control the movement of the part in VAB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 No kidding. I'm going to try my best to get the closed and open hinges out tonight to replace the old Damned Robotics version. Since there's such a demand for the parts and people a bit skittish to edit cfg's themselves I'm not willing to wait for all of them to be finished I'll just get them out as we can.Ok, ill get finished on my pack of parts for it then, I am also getting hounded, it would be much simpler to just release it. I did ask permission to release the odl DR parts with our pack, or with some of my packs but that was over 3 months ago and I never got a response from the author :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirkut Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 is it compatable with .21Follow my signature for a newer version that I forked from Damned Robotics (now called Infernal Robotics). The old one is broken. If you want the parts to work from the damned robotics pack, follow the instructions from my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaylock1988 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 What part is what I meant. And you mean just move the attachment node? Or actually control the movement of the part in VAB?Ah, I am using the powered hinge. It is default in the VAB at 180 degrees from its attaching surface, I want to move it to 90 or whatever its max is in the VAB before launch.

Keep an eye on the Magic Smoke Industries thread. When each part is finished we are releasing them and not waiting for a pack. The sooner the better in my opinion!

AncientGammoner Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) I just started playing KSP a few weeks ago, but I've been having great fun playing around with really open ended parts from this pack like the hinge and rotatron to make folding stuff. I modified the part files for the hinge and the B9 8x8 plate to give them nodes to attach easier and finally was able to make a rough version of a movable folding runway, complete with explosive bolts+struts to keep the whole thing rigid during flight. Unfortunately the hinge part still sticks up a bit, but if closed hinges are coming soon then maybe those could fix it.

Blaylock1988 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 That's awesome! Can't wait to use that too! I'm already using your slider part. Do you have any plans on making an action group that can make it go directly to a predetermined angle/position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpayne88 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I've got a bit of a problem with DR. I've built a crane for a base construction on Duna that uses a hinge, rototron, and hydraulic cylinder. The parts are not mapped to any keys, yet when I go to pitch my rocket (using the up and down arrow keys I've mapped the rocket to) all three DR parts start moving throughout their range of motion in exactly the same way they would if I was intentionally using them. This is causing phantom forces to be exerted on my rocket making it almost uncontrollable. The pod torque from the probe core, and both manned pods have been disabled and the only problem I can see is DR moving itself. Any way I could fix this?

Gotta get that to mun with some lights attached for the epic SSTO land way or sth...The rotatron and hinge are from DR, the 8x8 panels are from the B9 pack and the explosive bolts are from Nova. But like I said I had to modify the part files and add nodes for the panels and the hinge to fit properly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aslo Sirkut/MSI are working on a new IR pack. Edited August 7, 2013 by viperwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyren Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 If i got it right, sirkut will include (some) parts or new made, similar parts as there are in DR, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirkut Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 If i got it right, sirkut will include (some) parts or new made, similar parts as there are in DR, right?All new parts that will replace the old DR parts and here will be more choices in parts to use. One example is a new "door" hinge part. You will have two to pick from (maybe three) one open and another closed. The maybe is one set at 90 degrees.

Astronut25 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) While taking a stroll in my 8 or 12 legged walkers, the rotatrons bearing the weight of the craft occasionally spontaneously disassemble unanimously. Many of them continue to work, but are off-axis. Is anyone familiar with this problem, or know of any fix? I'm sure its not the weight of the craft, it is very small and I've tested by putting a lot of weight on it without change, and changing the quantity of legs doesn't change anything either. If you want to experiment with it, the design is very similar to the walker in the "Kerbals at War 2" video, only stripped down to the skeleton.
