@CardZlol the main problem is that the craft won't be rendered if it gets too far, I hope they will let us force the rendering of the two crafts through the code
@AstronautPlanes that's not true, it's not due to "Google things" and it's not a mod. Ive made a tool that only works in devices that support .jar files because that's what I know, but it would be possible to make something similar for Android. It's just that I don't know how to do it.
And the mod limitation it's not due to "Google things". It's due to a security policy
.
That said, @AxesInMotion send me a link to the craft unlisted and I'll scale it if you want
@AndrewGarrison go to 1x, if you disable Vizzy under time warp and you let Vizzy increase it then it won't be able to exit it.
Another benefit of going 1x is that you can automatically exit time warp under certain events
Closest approach to target would be epic too and an option to change target to a planet, a craft or a launch location, that could make self landing rockets aiming for a landing pad a thing, and even programs to make automatic transfers and approaches
@AndrewGarrison and about the trial and error for automatic launch and target approach with orbital parameters for active craft and target it may be possible to make a general code
@AndrewGarrison it would be amazing to have math functions (addition, substraction, multiplication, division and maybe trigonometry and log/derivatives)
@AndrewGarrison I was talking with Nathan a few days ago about generalising the ids. Being able to reference the part id number in the input controllers or vizzy sounded a bit sketchy because docking or creating subassemblies would break everything.
A possible solution would be to have one (or a couple) of outputs in Vizzy so you can give an id to the Vizzy modifier and then use in an input controller Vizzy.Output1
If then you can use in Vizzy the opposite values (Piston.Data.CurrentPosition for example) that should do it
@AndrewGarrison in fact, if you allow an output to be sent to specific parts those could be used as memory slots and it should be possible to simulate recessed systems for a RISC compatible Vizzy program
@swope because they have to make it work in the game, you need to make some compromises and adapt it to the rest of the code (being stored in xml and based in a modifier for example)
@Bmcclory why rip my effort? Many things can be only done with xml even after this (input based activators, logic gates...) and this is an amazing tool that will allow me to make even more complex stuff
@AndrewGarrison I know it's an old suggestion and you had problems implementing it, but for Vizzy having access to orbital parameters is a must (apoapsis, periapsis, time for both, orbital period...) and encounter parameters would be really cool (time to land, distance to land, lat/long for the landing, distance to target, time to target, info about planet approaches...)
Another very appreciated addition would be an optional code interface and not just blocks (even if it is through xml or something similar)
One thing I'm worried about humanoid characters is falling into the uncanny valley or having too simple animations that end up looking kind of funny. Do you have any plan to sort that out?
The old engines (and the current ion engine and rcn) are possible to tweak in the xml but the rocket engines and jet engines are parametric. You can add values out of the bounds of the designer to get more powerful parts though
@weebabyseamus great! I was working on a "what the community wants for career mode" joining a lot of forum posts and suggestions into one document, I'll have to make some changes now that we have this public but goes more or less in the same line
The main difference is that in the document I was talking about the benefits of having robots both in developing, gameplay and lore based in some discussions in discord and a couple of suggestions, I can pass you some of the ideas I gathered, those may work for the humanoid characters too (or even combine humanoids and robots)
It would be great to see some sort of modularity in the astronauts, like different types of helmets, suits and backpacks with different specifications/uses and different costs
@NoIDontWanna and admit it, they look epic
5.6 years ago@NoIDontWanna 4fun
5.6 years agoWhat NoIDontWanna said
5.6 years agoIf you open the craft .xml file then you can simply use find and replace to add the heat shield attribute to all parts at once
5.6 years agoThere's an easy way but you need an external text editor

5.6 years agoYou can make clickable links like this using the format [text] (link) and even show images with the format 
You should report the bug (in the game itself you should see an option to report it in the left menu that opens when pressing escape)
+1 5.6 years agoNah, the price is recalculated when loading a craft. For some parts you can find workarounds to make it cheaper, but not 0$

@AndrewGarrison it would be really nice to have access to warp time from vizzy

5.7 years ago@Funny8ekranoplan you can try with stretched engines too but the plume is a bit weird
5.7 years agobtw, how are you going to make the sern?
5.7 years agoIf you want some tips or help automating stuff and reducing the part count don't mind to ask :)
5.7 years ago@Insanity it is really easy to make a vertical launch and landing ssto and you don't really need combined cycle engines for that
5.7 years agoThe main planet is not as small as in ksp but it is still much smaller than real Earth, so it is still worth it
