So I finally started my new hopefully permanent game until 0.25 rolls around now that pretty much all addons are up to date. I'm one of those fortunate enough to run 64 bit without a hitch so I've pretty much just piling on the addons, which is great. Some addon PSAs:

Before the game got as big, he used to act in a similar capacity to the way you do now, talking to the community, explaining what was going, etc. Now that you're coming in with the community feedback, is their a weird dynamic because it was originally his project (and still pretty much is)? Who has the final say? Or do you have some sort of battle royale system when you disagree?

What's the current best Hubble style orbital telescope mod with fully transmittable science? I thought the one in DMagic was that, but it turns out it's more like a celestial body focused Key Hole type. (Which I realize is ironic considering the Hubble was based on Key Hole tech.)

Do you guys like slow ships? How about really big ships? Isn't it great when they can be both? Bonus: nuclear powered  Edit: It's at this point that I'm not sure these radiators will be enough.

Sorry to bring back the Majiirchat, but this still bugs mequote:IMPORTANT NOTE: You should NOT attempt to adapt the old code by reverse-engineering the new library, for several reasons. The first is that the GeodesicGrid license specifically forbids reverse engineering in jurisdictions where that's possible. The second is that even in places where it's allowed anyway (like the European Union), the new grid library may be subject to patent restrictions. Why would anyone even try to reverse engineer this new dll when Majiir has to publish the source code anyway? And why is Majiir afraid enough of anyone trying to do it to threaten people with patent law (which probably isn't even applicable in Europe)? Does the compiled dll do anything that's not in the published sourcecode?

Though I expect it's less a case of some nefarious back door code that uses your PC as an illegal photo host for k-pop stars, and more that he wanted to be able to say 'hey! um.. guys! we're 'open source' too!' without actually, you know, being open source.

Tamba posted:Sorry to bring back the Majiirchat, but this still bugs me Except he really is replacing that dll - it is in fact gone from the master branch already so if you compile Kethane form HEAD all the dlls are GPL (though the assets are still closed), which is TBH as good as you can get without digging up the original artists. It was probably an entirely silly concern for him to worry about the patent implications for geodesic grid drawing (because even though US software patents are handed out like candy, enforcement isn't), but I'm guess Majiir is still young / learning the ropes and on the spergier side (like he legit comes off as someone "on the spectrum") - but this is just how nerds learn how to people: slowly and painfully and under duress only. So I still think he really is trying to make things better he's just handling it in a really ham-fisted way. Like the fact that he wants to just pony up the (not insignificant btw) AWS fees to host KerbalStuff without ads is basically a super-nice thing, but shoving it in the face of other contributors more than counter-acts that.

Trivia posted:Man, all these recommended mods sure make loading the game take forever. I'm talking 20+ minutes here. I think I need more than 8 gigs of ram. RAM won't help - it is the act of loading all that poo poo into RAM that is being slow. Having more room to load into won't make that go any faster. Most likely you're CPU bound (KSP is the biggest CPU hog ever, it's like the only thing that can out-hog Sim City 4). Drive read speed may be an issue too but at 20 minutes I really doubt it's making up a big portion of that - so upgrade your CPU before you get an SSD.

I have a Karbonite collector in Kerbin orbit with a converter. There's an empty fuel tank on there, but it's just the Rockomax 16, and there are a LOT more Karbonite tanks. When the fuel tank fills up does the converter just pause until it has more tank to fill? I was thinking of docking ships to it, having them pull fuel out of the tank while the converter is simultaneously putting new fuel into the tank, will that actually work? PS Karbonite is the dog's balls

I had the same setup with a low kerbin orbit collector / gas station. When the tank is full the converter just stops. If it's converting while fuel is transferring out it will just keep pushing, no worries. Works quite well.

Being serious, it's Harv's game so all final calls are obviously his.

On the communicating to the community deal, well, as you guys prolly noticed the KSP fandom has grown explosively (  ) for a while now. Somehow the community managed to keep its niceness going on, but overall we also got way noisier and closer to general internet discourse. Thus, communicating with them got way harder to do without fueling storms and blowing expectations way out of proportion.Our devs are regular nerdy people. They can take criticism but not so much the full brunt of the internet. So they're more than happy to let someone close to the project who has a background in talking for a living and has been on the internet's worst parts since the early 00's take care of the whole communicating deal. The last bit tends to frustrate some people, average troll's used to devs blocking them or crying foul at being sent an internet death threat, while I'm more on the 'laugh, then grade on creativity' boat.

I'm looking for a mod, but I just can't seem to find it. I could swear that a week ago I saw a mod that let you change the order of the parts in each tab so you could re-organize everything yourself. So for instance, if I wanted all of the engines at the top of the propulsion tab, I could just move all of them to the top of the list so they were clustered together. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about/know a mod that would let me do this? Many thanks! edit: of course I immediately find it, cool http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/92511-0-24-2-PartArranger-1-1-Arrange-your-part-list-however-you-want! triad fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Sep 10, 2014 |
