Releases: AlphaMensae/Modular-Launch-Pads
2.1.4
- Reset the General Medium Modular Tower Section's rescaleFactor back to 1, after forgetting about having changed it for a B9PS test.
2.1.3
- Added 20m extensions to the foot pads of the General and Flat Launch Bases so they will reach the ground when rescaled to a size that extends past the lanch pad static.
- Changed the tech tree nodes for some of the launch stands and umbilicals. All the historic launch stands and their accessories are now in the custom Launch Stands node. The General Round and Rectangle stands, the beam swing arms and all umbilicals are now in the start node.
- Removed Animated Attachment from the download and GitHub as it can cause major problems with other parts if it is installed. It is not needed for Modular Launch Pads, was only offered as aan option for the Launch Rails, so if you still want it, you have to get it yourself.
- The Hide_Parts patch now only runs if CommunityCategoryKit is intstalled.
2.1.2
2.1.1
- Added missing Launch Plates tech tree node for the Unkerballed Start tree.
- Fixed typo in Mounting Platform description.
2.1.0

All parts are now hidden from the stock Structural category. Use the custom CCK category tab or the stock custom category (which has subcategories) to find the parts. Delete the Hide_Parts.cfg in the Category folder if you want the parts back in the Structural tab.
-
The former multi-size merged parts have been split off into separate parts, but the older internal part name is still used for one the new parts. Existing v2.0 craft files will still load, but most likely won't look the same, and will need to be rebuilt.

GENERAL GENERAL GENERAL
-
Extensive use of B9PartSwitch transform move and rotate, node move and UI Group features for smaller part sizes and easier to understand Part Action Windows.
-
All launch clamp bases and stands can now have the staging disabled when a milkstool or launch rail or other part is attached to them.
-
Various part title and description changes; part cost is now 1 for everything.
-
Removed simple rescale patch from Extras. Realism Overhaul now directly supports Modular Launch Pads, ask the RO devs for additional support/help if needed, it is their responsibility.
-
Remade all craft files for v2.1. Subassemblies removed, there are now four Example MLP craft files (with a stock rocket for demo purposes), along with bare versions of the Saturn and Shuttle launchers.
2.0.8
-
Removed the integrated clamp arms, fuel arms and gantry from the Soyuz Launch Base. Attach them separately now; clamp arms surface attach, the fuel arms attach to the auxiliary nodes on the ring, and the gantry attaches to the auxiliary node in the center, below the rocket attach node.
-
Added transfer airlocks to the gantry's crew elevator platforms, to allow crew boarding of a spacecraft inside a fairing via the crew transfer function.
-
Updated B9PartSwitch to v2.13.0 for KSP 1.8.1, works in KSP 1.9.x. It is now the default B9PS in the download's GameData Folder.
-
B9PartSwitch for KSP 1.7.3 is available as a separate .zip file in the root folder of the download.
-
Updated Spacedock compatibility to KSP v1.9.
v2.0.7b
- Moved the KSP 1.7.3 version of B9PartSwitch .zip out of the download's GameData folder and into the top level; that was an error.
- The version of B9PartSwitch in the download's GameData Folder is for KSP 1.8.1 and is no longer a .zip file, it can be copied into your KSP's GameData folder as-is.
v2.0.7
- Modifed the sound effect of the General ROFI and Shuttle Tail Service Mast sparker by a large amount to make it much quieter.
- Changed .cfg and .mu names for the General Hold Downs and General ROFI
- Updated the stock custom category and custom tech tree node .cfgs to those of v2.1
- Now includes separate versions of B9PartSwitch for KSP 1.8.1 and KSP 1.7.3. Folders are named for which KSP version they are for.
2.0.6
- Added a drag cube definition (the one from the stock Mk1 Fuselage) to the parts with a deploy-limit adjustable animation to prevent the "Generating procedural drag cube" message spam in the console. Moving the deploy limit slider changes the shape of the part, and without a predefined drag cube, KSP will make, then remake again and again, a new procedural one.
2.0.5
-
KSP 1.8: The current versions of B9PartSwitch, Animated Decouplers and Community Category Kit work in KSP 1.8 as is.
-
When a 1.8 version of B9PS is released, it will be included in all future updates of Modular Launch Pads.
-
Updated B9PartSwitch to v2.11.0; this one adds the ability to prevent B9PS modules from being moved to the end of the Part Action Window. It also fixes a bug with texture-switching on copied parts.
-
Added lines to parts with B9PS modules to prevent them from being moved to end of Part Action Window.
-
Removed alternate support columns from the Saturn and Shuttle clamp bases. They ended up outside the the base when the base was rotated.
-
Adjusted General ROFI and Shuttle TSM sparker's burn time to a maximum of 15 seconds with full fuel amount.
-
Renamed the alternate Saturn Lightning Mast to Shuttle Tower Lightning Mast.
-
Added a Module Manager patch to hide the Modular Launch Pads parts from the stock Structural tab into the Extras folder.
-
Added a basic Realism Overhaul compatibility patch into the Extras folder. I did not make this, I found it on the RO Discord server. It's just a simple rescale, TweakScale is not needed, and may not be complete or fully working.
-
Removed KSP 1.3.1 versions of the dependencies, as almost all RO players use KSP 1.6.1 now.
