Looking for a good robotic arms mod

[Raptor22]

Hey I was trying to find a mod that has robotic arms like the space shuttle, so I could use it with the KSO mod. I have infernal robotics, and I tried to update dromoman's robotic arms, but failed. I tried using the romfarer space shuttle arms, but they were too big. I wanted to be able to have one that would fit inside the KSO EWBCL. Does anyone know of any other mods, or can help me be able to figure out how to update the dromoman robotic arms mod? Anything will help.

You may have to try using the romfarer Canadarm or Buran arm with Tweakscale... That way you can scale it closer to the size you need...

sirkut has described how to make the DROMOMAN modular robotic arm parts compatible with the most recent version(s) of Infernal Robotics:

Dromoman's (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/37680-DROMOMAN-modular-arm-parts-for-Damned-Infernal-Robotics) parts require CFG edits in order for them to work. Note the two "}" at the end. Those are required. Edit the three parts that have name = MuMechServo in the CFG and you will be good to go (hint. it's arm_linrothub, arm_radrothub, arm_rotact)

PART

// --- general parameters ---

@sumghai

I wish I could, but tweakscale doesn't work with those arms. Thanks for trying, at lease

Ok,someone needs to write a tweakscale config to fix this!

[Raptor22]

Yeah, but no one gets around to doing it.

[Sampa]

You might pm felbourn and ask how to edit parts to work with tweakscale. I know he knows how to edit parts for kas

Here's what i did to make the Canadarm work with tweakscale

PART

{

// --- general parameters ---

name = ISS CanadArm2

module = PartRoboticArmCanadarm

author = BobCat Romfarer

// --- asset parameters ---

mesh = model.mu

scale = 1.25

specPower = 0.1

// --- node definitions ---

// definition format is Position X, Position Y, Position Z, Up X, Up Y, Up Z, size

node_stack_top = 0.0, 0.0, 0.01, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1

node_attach = 0.0, 0.0, 0.01, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 1

// -0.05

// --- editor parameters ---

TechRequired = robotics

entryCost = 990

MODULE
