Storing/Attaching stock parts in KAS??


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure I'm not a noob, I've been googling for 30 minutes trying to figure this out. I have KAS installed and I want to be able to attach small parts to a satellite in orbit just for fun, kinda like the shuttle repairing hubble. I clicked edit container on the KAS parts container and the only parts I have a choice to put in the container are KAS parts. No Cubic Octagonal Struts, no torture chairs(external command seats) no batteries, no RTGs, only KAS parts. Shouldn't I be able to attach STOCK parts?? I tried attaching those small parts on a capsule just to test how KAS EVA works and I could only grab and place KAS parts. I saw in a changelog that the modmaker added the ability to "grab and store the 3 rung ladder" which I assume is the Pegasus I Mobility Enhancer, and I couldn't put it in the parts container, couldn't grab it off the side of the capsule... I don't understand, it's really frustrating me. I just watched a Scott Manley IQ episode where he built a minmus rover out of Cubic Octagonal Struts, an RTG, wheels, and a command seat. What am I doing wrong??! Is there a Config to edit to add stock parts?? Ugh... I'm so confused and frustrated XD

Sorry for the whiny rant, like I said I'm getting really frustrated. I hope I can find a solution. D:

P.S. .90 Sandbox mode with KAS .4.10

KAS-grabbable parts have, as a portion of their part definition, the KASModuleGrab module. It defines how a Kerbal on EVA can grab and mount the part. It doesn't exist in stock, so obviously stock parts don't have it.

You'll need to figure out how to use ModuleManager to add that module to the stock parts you want to manipulate. Or whine on the Kerbal Attachment System thread.

Lol! Thanks for the help,  I was getting REALLY frustrated and I was kinda in a bad mood already, sorry for the whining. So, download module manager? Will it be too hard to figure out how to move the module to stock parts myself, or what?

Ok, I did some more googling and I'm pretty confused. XD Could you tell me how exactly to do it? I can't find any decent tutorials

Wait, I found a config in KAS for all the stock parts, could I put that in a different file or something?

I found a .cfg in the KAS file and pulled an example out for the stock RCS port:

@PART[RCSBlock]:HAS[!MODULE[KASModuleGrab]]:FOR[KAS]

{

MODULE

{

name = KASModuleGrab

evaPartPos = (0.0, 0.00, -0.18)

evaPartDir = (0,0,-1)

storable = true

storedSize = 6

attachOnPart = True

attachOnEva = True

attachOnStatic = False

attachSendMsgOnly = False

Shouldn't this work?
