I've been playing for about a week before i saw this thread.

PROTIP: Try installing a partpack or five once you get bored with the default components. Here's a load of them; http://www.kerbalspacerepository.com/

Anyone know how to mod things for this game?

[Rakonas]

Has anyone modded in nuclear warheads yet?

If you mean as in installing custom parts, then It's quite simple. Download and extract the parts you want to add, then drag them (Not the entire folder, just the sub-folders.) into the parts folder in the KSP folder in the KSP folder. Folderception.

At what altitude does the parachute really works? I deploy it at 3km and the capsule crash-landed because it's landing on the mountain at 600m above sea level...damn...and that flight was a successful swingby in eliptical orbit too....

500m above sea level.
In 0.9, it is upgraded to use a raytrace.
500m above ground level.

@Klingon, thanks but I was wondering how to make ship parts.

DAE or OBJ models + PNG textures + part.cfg (there's not really any documentation on that apart from what's in the existing stuff) + folder => part

Seems I didn't quite grasp the tutorial. I have a detacher, a tri...thing that allows me to have 3 solid rockets, 3 more detachers connected to 3 more solid rockets, yet when I start the launch, after the first rockets are used up and I press space, instead of the first detachers working, it skips everything and goes to the detacher to the main pod.

It is built like this.

1) main pod and parachute

2) detacher and tri-thing

3) 3 rockets

4) 3 detachers

5) 3 more rockets.


All the rockets and detachers are in the right spots.

[Sensei]

The tri thing isn't a detacher.

There's also bugs in the experimental release, with stages going out of order.

Yes, which is why it is attached to a detacher....

Those were far worse in 0.8.5.  And you can actually fix them now.
E: Different staging bugs, I suppose, but the ones in 0.8.5 were worse.
Just pay attention to where it stages your stuff, and you'll notice the problem, in 0.9.
In 0.8.5, it would completely randomly break the order without any sort of indication.

In other news, 0.9 X5

==================================== v0.9.0X5 ================================================

New:
* Parachutes can no longer deploy in a vaccuum (they wait until there is some atmosphere to open)
* Added staging stack scrolling through the Home and End keys
* Added key mappings for Zoom In/Out, Scroll View Up/Down (VAB) and Scroll Icons Up/Down
* Added key mappings to rotate the camera

Bug Fixes:
* Fixed the G meter spiking up towards infinity at large distances.
* Fixed some more details with the settings screen
* Changed the layout of the input mapping screen
* Fixed a problem with the sound loading system, that wouldn't load custom sounds

[Vertigon]

One of my best flights so far in terms of keeping it straight and speedy. I also just realized I'm still playing the old version

Update: My kerbals finally landed after an hour, I didn't want to keep them in space forever :<
Of course, they landed 300 km off course. Zoomed out all the way, I can't see any land. At all.

Wait, what? I WAS playing .9x4...why didn't it work? Damnit...still means landing on a mountain is a very bad idea...

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yes, landing on a mountain is a bad idea, but mostly because of the slope. For whatever reason, you're more likely to blow up when landing on a slope, just rolling down a slope may be enough to get you to blow up.

Btw, did anyone try using capsule-mobiles yet? The gyros on those capsules seem to be good enough to let them roll along the ground easily.
