Discussion Space: 1999 updates ?

[BenSisko]

Sorry to be a pain but I still can't attach to a pad at Moonbase! Here's the deal:

I align with the pad using VOR/VTOL MFD at about 400-500m altitude. Start a descent < 1m/s (Note MBA pads 1-5 are pads 2-6 in VOR/VTOL MFD also there is a frequency error. In the Spaceport Information window pads 5 & 6 share 123.0. When its tuned only pad 6 is recognized).

Activate Camera MFD (I fly from the left seat and your internal camera just toggles views directly down or to the right seat).

Select airlock in the Eagle (0,1,2,or 3) no effect

Switch focus to MBA, retract the docking lodge and watch the descent. As the descent progresses I may switch between Eagle and MBA but below 100m I turn off Camera MFD, switch focus to MBA and press K at 10-20m above the pad. I then watch the Eagle descend throught the pad at ~1m/s.

Once again, Suggestiond appreciated!

Here's a start on Moonbase documents.

 

[gattispilot]

I am redoing textures in the modules.

Recon

I need to extend the bottom down.

Lab Module.
Interior looking out from the side

Interior looking at the panel, which I need to redo.

The side exterior doors HAS to pivot/swing rather than slide. Even if the door was split the edge would stick out.


The modules doors state are not saved. So if you start the scenario again the doors will be closed. The doors are tied to the airlocks. So if the airlock is open so is the door.

Since the airlocks start off closed the doors must also.

:thumbup:

 

[gattispilot]

I think the only one left is the medical one. I think there is a VIP module but I think it is the Passenger Module.


Still not luck on the NDA2 processor. Not sure why it won't pick up things beyond 15 m

 

[4throck]

Looking good. :thumbup:
Don't worry too much about the textures, as they can be replaced latter. As long as they are unique to each location and in right place on the meshes, it's just a matter of changing the files.
I'll at least have to check and see if my Eagle repaint is still compatible with your modules (the base textures look the same so it might work).

But I'm waiting for a complete version to test it (Eagles, MBA, NDAs, etc).

 

[gattispilot]

I am going to add a weapons rack and 2 screen on one side.

On the other side (right) will be the monitor and storage unit.

The stun guns will be part of the mesh.

 

[BenSisko]

I get a CTD when trying to run the recon module scenario. I noticed that there was no EAGLERECON1MODULE but an EAGLEPASSMODULE in the config\vessel folder. I renamed the file, vessel class, and module lines but get this error with or without renaming. Here's the error log:

You guys are making a wonderful group of add-on's here in this thread.
If you are taking requests... the Hawk has been overlooked so far, the model on the forum is very nice, but it needs some TLC as well (VC, UMMU support, etc).
I know you dudes are busy with the project as it is, I just wouldn't want it to be left out.

 

[Ark]

Yeah, obviously you've gotten your modules and vessels mixed up. There's a module called EAGLERECON1MODULE and a vessel called EAGLEPASSMODULE. It works once you go through and clean up the naming issues.

 

[BenSisko]

What did you name the vessel EAGLERECON1MODULE?

 

[Ark]

What did you name the vessel EAGLERECON1MODULE?

Other way around, I changed the module to EAGLEPASSMODULE.

It appears to have some missing textures on the doors and on some of the trim.

 

[Ark]

Here's that weird "Mesh Changed" message I was talking about, happened a few seconds after I spawned it with the scenario editor.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. I have seen that it is the nose cone but not sure why it is seen. I have the cockpit camera set as 4th rock's VC.

I may having to remake the exterior of the modules.

Not sure if it will still be good for UCGO. Only the frieghter uses UCGO.

Lab module:

lab interior

Recon with the new front wall.

Passenger with new front wall

Where should I put the camera? I think at the rear door so you look forward. or maybe several cam positions.



One big change is making the eagles attach at different directions. So the docking tube will be to the left or right. Basically I made another set of attachment points with opposite vectors.

The one draw back and not sure how to code this would be is a vessel is alreadly attached then do not attach.

So you could have 2 eagles attached to the same pad at opposite heading.

 

[dougkeenan]

Several cam positions would be nice.

 

[BenSisko]

Ark & Gattispilot,

Other way around, I changed the module to EAGLEPASSMODULE.

It appears to have some missing textures on the doors and on some of the trim.

When I do that I still get a CTD. It conflicts with EAGLEPASSMODULE that Gattispilot released earlier as a passengeer module. There's already a vessel class and module by that name.

Ben

 

[Ark]

I must have missed that, because all I have is this module and the freight module. Side effect of everything being released as a post in a forum thread.

 

[gattispilot]

I am redoing all modules right now.

This is odd. When you add the base you get this:

not sure it is how the crew is saved

[gattispilot]

Here is what the new exterior will look like. Not sure if it will work for UCGO for the freighter.

It was the eagle2 medical mesh, then gutted the interior and modified the exterior.

Still can not fix the MBA UMMU crew issue. I commented out my saved state info so all that is left :

void MOONBASEALPHA::clbkSaveState(FILEHANDLE scn)
{

    
    // ORBITER, default vessel parameters
    SaveDefaultState (scn);

but still get the grabbled crew info when the vessel is added via Scn Editor. Not sure where the error might be.

 

[gattispilot]

Here is the newest MBA.dll. I think it still has that Ummu crew issue. Have no clue why though. Not sure where the crew is made when you add this vessel. Make sure you back it up.

http://www.4shared.com/file/gP9jh38S/_2__MOONBASEALPHA.html
This Dll has the 2 attachment points one is where the docking tube is on the left and the other on the right. The beacon which indicates which attachment point. Left is Red and green Right
N now selects the docking tube

New exterior module:

Here is the newest recon module. Added W to move camera Here it is attached to the Spacecraft3 version.
