OHM Volcano Vents and Streams

[OrbitHangar]

Author: artlav

This module allows adding user-defined particle streams from scenario files.
Can be a volcano, can be a LOX vent.

Updated for O2010P1, and included functions for enable/disable and auto-disable on target launch (to better fit the use as vent streams on rockets)


Old (2007) one:
-----------
Want to see smoke coming out of the VAB chimney?
A vapor fountain on the Mars?
Volcanos on the Io?

This module is the first step towards it - it allows adding a user-defined particle streams to the planets.
Currently, it is rather simple and requires definition in the scn. And sorry for the raw scenery, iam not good in mesh-making.


If this will be interesting to atlease 42 people i will add a scenario-independant streams.

Please Artlav,any chance of updating this for orb 2010P1,I use to use it all the time for Lox,or Vox venting for ships that don't have this effect,also if you do an update for this effect could you have a key button to turn it on,or off and or maybe even automatic at launch.Thanks

 

[Artlav]

Okay, updated.

Added two more scenario controls:
ACTIVE controls if the stream is on or off.
LAUNCH specifies waiting for a particular vessel to start it's main engine, then turn the stream off.

And, a directly controllable one - vent.
Vent can be started or stopped by selecting it, then pressing 1.
Both are the same thing, only volcano is invisible in the list of vessels.

Enjoy!

Thanks, artlav!

Surprisingly, it does.
Only the default scenarios are off a bit.

Hi.ArtLav I am having trouble setting the size of the streams,are the streams you put in the scenarios for the STS-101 the smallest the streams can get? I tried making them smaller,but keep geting CTDs,also do you have to have both streams already in the scenario editor?or can you spawn them?because it seems that when I spawn them I get a CTD.Can you please provide the numbers for the smallest stream size?Thanks again:tiphat:

 

[Artlav]

What exactly smaller is, that you try to set?
SIZE 0.1 is the parameter, i'm not aware of any limits.

What exactly do you mean by spawning them?
The streams are defined directly in scenario file, as many as you like. Scenario editor would give you nothing coherent.

HI,ArtLav I am trying to set the streams Lox venting for the broglio cargo rocket, but the default stream size seems to big,and it seems that I can't get the streams any smaller than 0.1.OK I understand about spawning them thanks for clearing that up for me.

Is there a way to add a steamvent to one of these craters in wideawake International islands with there four craters looming in the distance..Would it be in the textures 2?
Still a noob here:tiphat:

is there no vapor cone add on for breaking the sound barrier? like this btw
