[01:18:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget___ktn' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [01:52:59] so, I'm trying to install realism overhaul [01:53:04] and I can't find it in CKAN [01:53:53] any ideas? [01:54:20] https://github.com/KSP-RO/RP-0/wiki/Installation [01:54:24] apparently my version is 1.10.0.2917 [01:54:38] that will do it [01:54:45] and the version it's for is 12.8.1 [01:54:54] so the version doesn't matter? [01:55:08] my game is fully updated...why does it say there's a higher version [01:55:29] do you mean 1.8.1? [01:55:47] so, I found RO in CKAN but it wasn't in the compatible list [01:56:00] ahhh [01:56:06] max version 1.8.9 [01:56:07] you're going to need a 1.8.1 install [01:56:12] how do I downgrade? [01:56:20] steam version? [01:56:26] yeah [01:56:30] can I pick? [01:56:31] . [01:57:13] ok I found it [01:57:25] you can copy the Kerbal game dir out of steam, and place it somewwhere else so when steam updated teh game it doesn't overwrite your copy [01:57:40] it's a fresh install anyway [01:57:45] :) [01:57:50] appreciate the help [01:57:55] that way if it upgrades, it won't batter [01:57:58] *matter [01:58:45] do I only do RO or are there other good mods to make everything look pretty [01:58:53] just got a new graphics card and want to take it out for a spin [01:59:09] look at the guide I linked [02:00:38] what's RP1? [02:01:27] realistic progression mod [02:02:02] what if I just want to fly apollo to the moon and back? [02:02:47] also, what grade GPU do you need for 16k textures? [02:04:42] This is RO with Principia, right? >_>;; [02:04:52] ? [02:05:08] Principia is the mod that adds full n-body gravity [02:05:15] oh [02:05:19] principia is optional [02:05:19] I don't know [02:05:19] Including things like lunar masscons [02:05:26] is that better? [02:05:29] or harder? [02:05:41] masscon [02:05:49] More realistic, and arguably harder [02:05:52] it adds a few levels to things [02:05:58] I just want the game to be beautiful and also fly apollo to the moon\ [02:06:26] what are the system requirements for 16k textures? [02:06:37] 1080Ti? [02:06:45] would that handle it? [02:07:13] these textures are huge for only 0.5 Mbps download speed from github [02:07:33] Note that these sorts of mods have rather limited testing, so you'll have to make a best guess on the system requirements [02:07:50] I'll start with 8k and download 16k in the background [02:07:58] half a meg is so slow [02:17:51] I wish scott manley would do an updated RO guide for 2020 [02:18:02] with all the best mods listed [02:21:53] that guide I linked is a pretty good starting point [02:22:11] just those mods make the game take its own sweet time to load [02:38:12] so the saturn 5 isn't a daved configuration? I have to build the entire thing? [02:38:17] saved* [02:38:39] install real-scale boosters [02:38:51] boosters? [02:38:53] pretty sure that comes with a prebuilt one [02:38:53] for apollo? [02:39:00] yeah [02:39:11] now I have to close the game [02:39:15] it just loaded :( [02:40:40] also, why do I have multiple identical apollo parts [02:40:40] ? [02:40:48] multiple mods [02:41:04] so, this is coordinated between mods? [02:41:15] ...even though it's a package? [02:41:47] yeah [02:41:54] I don't see any apollo fuel tanks [02:42:01] I ahve no idea how to build with these parts [02:42:07] you installed RSB already? [02:42:29] no [02:42:32] I don't wanna close the game [02:42:36] ah [02:42:38] cause it took so long to load [02:42:48] fine [02:42:49] sigh [02:43:02] 32500 mods [02:46:19] also, where can I find info on the gravity turn used by apollo [02:46:31] I need to get the trajectory realtively close [02:46:44] I haven't gotten that far [02:48:59] I can't click on the VAB [02:49:23] I can right click and rotate the camera [02:49:32] but I can't do anything else [02:53:07] sometimes that happens. restart the game [02:53:49] how do I downlaod a folder from github [02:54:00] the guide says to delte FAR and reinstall from github [02:54:13] I found the folder on github but clicking on it doesn't download anything [02:56:52] go here. https://github.com/dkavolis/Ferram-Aerospace-Research/tree/dev [02:56:59] click the green button that says "Code" [02:57:08] then click "Download Zip" [02:58:19] not sure what downloading that will actually accomplish though, since it hasn't been compiled [02:58:37] git clone? [02:59:42] oh ok, its the FerramAerospaceResearch inside GameData [03:00:28] let's try again [03:01:19] raptop, that would definitely work, I just didn't want to have to walk them through installing git [03:04:07] ok, now I have 6 different versions of saved satrun fives... how do I pick? [03:04:22] nevermind [03:04:56] ok, I tried loading it and it says it's missing parts [03:05:06] RSBengineJ2 [03:05:12] RSBengindF1 [03:05:19] TweakScale [03:05:22] MechjebCore [03:06:39] yeah it won't load without them [03:07:15] apparently there are 2 tweak scales [03:07:19] I don't know how to choose [03:08:23] how can RSBengineJ2 be missing if I have RSB installed? [03:11:24] I have TweakScale - Rescale Everything! installed [03:16:40] umaxtu: sudo apt install git? (Or I suppose yum or pacman depending on what your preferred distro is) ;) [03:16:56] assuming they are running Linux [03:17:16] hence the wink -- your objection is reasonable and I [03:17:19] 'm being silly [03:17:24] (and can't type) [03:17:26] ah [03:19:06] Although, yeah, I'm not entirely clear why source files (rather than binaries) are needed [03:19:37] upon further examination it does look like there is a build in that repo. its just not labeled well [03:20:18] oh [03:23:34] just tried to test it in my rp-1 setup and I'm also missing that j2 part [05:16:54] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [08:43:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:31:15] three rockets to mars at every transfer window is my minimum level of satisfaction [09:31:48] what, there is a stainless steel skin for the fairings [09:31:58] i always wanted shiny metal in ksp [13:47:02] wee..? [13:47:15] so. any kerbal'ish weekend plans? [13:54:53] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c1Y65D5vyI [13:55:00] HU [13:55:00] Live: Starship SN5 Static Fire Test From Boca Chica, Texas [14:06:49] huh.. they just showed weather radar of storm near by? [14:21:17] and scrub [14:29:25] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5GuO6s2vj0 [14:29:31] 2 hours to go [14:35:00] does this mean we in the rocket age now..? [14:35:07] so many launches it seems these days [14:35:50] this one is rather small. "Momo is a Japanese sounding rocket capable of delivering 20 kg to a height of 100 km." [14:36:21] Ethanol + Oxygen https://spacelaunchnow.me/vehicle/launch_vehicle/198/ [14:36:31] large model rocket [14:50:15] suborbital I take it? [14:53:08] I guess so. I just came about the YT link, don't know anything about the rocket ;) [14:59:14] sounding rocket, doesn't mention orbital.. [14:59:46] used to launch sounding rockets up in Churchill, northern lights research [15:00:18] had been talk about turning it into a spaceport, not sure what came of things though [15:00:39] second scrub of the static fire test, it seems [15:12:28] So, I'm trying to do realism overhaul and simply fly a saturn 5 to the moon. I've installed everything but there are no saved craft files that have a saturn 5 that isn't missing parts. [15:12:35] Does anyone know how to do this? [15:16:04] have you checked the logs? parts could be missing because of incompatible textures [15:35:35] eh.. and in other news.. just came across this gem.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFjurSWm8O4 [15:41:04] though he never finished the project. Oh well.. [15:48:23] how can i modify the science values per planet/biome? i want more science on kerbin, less on remote bodies [15:52:23] how much more? I ran a science car (crew report, eva report, pressure, temp, goo, sci jr.) around KSC, out to grasslands, and on water, just past shores biome. Got just shy of 400 points. [15:52:44] how about just less science from remote bodies? [15:53:34] https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Science#Celestial_body_multipliers [15:53:40] I basically want to remove these [15:53:48] no more multipliers [15:54:01] so flat figures across the board? [15:54:14] yeah [15:54:31] maybe config file? [15:54:40] i've been looking [15:55:01] beyond that.. I wouldn't know. my other system isn't up right now and thinking of dropping out for a bit [15:59:22] https://www.curseforge.com/kerbal/ksp-mods/celestial-body-science-multiplier-editor [15:59:28] I guess this will do [16:24:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:47:30] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cibwHSTzRXw [16:47:34] lol this is ksp [16:47:43] i thought it was a bit weak cgi [16:56:03] "Any politics-related comment will be removed." sounds like someone is in fear :P [17:13:46] well, it's KSP [17:44:52] you mean I can't advocate for Bill Kerman for Prime Minister ? [17:45:36] or is that Dictator [18:00:04] General Secretary [18:00:13] Obviously [18:00:21] Ahhhh, ok [18:00:39] hehe [18:17:07] Alanonzander: technically, that might fall under the "no roleplaying" rule :) [18:17:44] ahhhh :/ [18:18:17] I guess nobody would complain, though [18:45:16] Shall we exclude Wernher Kerman from the elections? Is he (still) a Nazi? [18:57:34] ah, that reminds me to continue listening to "Terminal World". the sidekick just realized that the protagonist is an "angel" [19:04:25] hehe, external fuel tank. i put a tank on top of the plane with a decoupler [19:04:36] somehow works [19:08:19] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEO77UEFGT4 [19:09:52] and there is scott too [19:09:59] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9YN50xXFJY [19:22:54] heh i really need the turbojets [19:23:09] but still 100k needed for the rnd upgrade [20:06:57] How bad is timing out on a rescue Kerbal from LKO orbit? I need a scientist for a long mission. [20:07:45] why not recover first? [20:08:08] She's coming back, anyways, just later. [20:08:29] No rest for the kerbal [20:08:34] hehe [20:08:39] I have the rocket in orbit already. I could revert, though. [20:09:38] it just "fails" the contract, I would guess. so a bit of funds and reputation penalty [20:10:30] I don't care about money. [20:10:31] :) [20:11:13] -9 rep [20:15:29] live now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5GuO6s2vj0&feature=youtu.be [20:15:43] T-5min [20:19:38] the timer disappeared [20:19:56] yeah. maybe someone nicked all the alcohol ;) [20:22:07] Also, for just a rescue mission, the Kerbal would have to jetpack deorbit, and land hard on grass or water if she didn't bring a chute. [20:23:52] ah, well, that was not very exciting [20:24:07] launch that dart! :) [20:28:52] not today [20:29:01] good because i need to sleep [20:37:54] better view, fwiw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRzMKxS9m8s [21:55:10] Action: flayer tackles packbart
