Interior Lamp

[DeputyLOL]

How to get lamp to illuminate area around it when it is activated.

[Alexustas]

What can you say about this?

[DeputyLOL]

Looks nice, like the dimming ability

Is there someway to make the cockpit dark when there is no light source. I think my problem is that the cockpit space I'm using is already 'illuminated' without any other light source. I'm using SXT cockpit.

[Alexustas]

the name of the cabin you are using as a source?

[DeputyLOL]

I'm going to look it up. The cabin itself is called kossak

[DeputyLOL]

I'm not sure, but do you think it would be a good idea to use a different cockpit?

[Alexustas]

??

Its called the MRBL-8

[Alexustas]

put this config file in the \GameData\ASET\ASET_Props\Control\SwitchTumble\ https://www.dropbox.com/s/iuf50whfasb8swr/swTumbleKOSSAKintLights.cfg?dl=0

and then add it to your internals. default state - OFF.

[Alexustas]

so you will be able turn on/off build-in cabin light. this is the same thing I did to the stock cockpit

[DeputyLOL]

... wow. I didn't know that was a thing!. I'll see if it works!

[Alexustas]

i've open internals model in the Blender app and found a light object name. for "Kossak" cabin this name is "lightSpott"

[Alexustas]

and then i'v edit my config file for stock cockpit, change "internalLightName" string:

 internalLightName = lightSpott

[Alexustas]

and edit my CUSTOM_ variable. what's all!

[DeputyLOL]

... wow. wish I knew how to do that

[DeputyLOL]

testing now

[Alexustas]

If don't want to use buil-in cabin light at all, just place this switcher in some hidden place )) light will be permanently diasbled

[Alexustas]

i didn't test it because i don't have this mod installed for now. but it should work. i hope )

[DeputyLOL]

ok, ill see what it looks like.

[DeputyLOL]

WOW. Looks amazing now!

[DeputyLOL]

Thanks for telling me about this

[Alexustas]

you're welcome ) this is my personal invention

[DeputyLOL]

I am starting to think about a new cockpit however. The SXT model is good but there are limitations and somethings that really bug me about it.

[DeputyLOL]

and the cockpit interior windows don't match the exterior windows

[Alexustas]

So, i've made 5 groups of interior lights (props):

• Cockpit (2 groups for the left and right side of cockpit). Of course you can use only one group of lamps to illuminate the whole entire cockpit
• Engineer station light
• Flood/Dome light
• Utility light

[Alexustas]

All lights are maded in 4 variations:

• omni light, range 1 m
• omni light, range 2 m
• omni light, range 3 m
• spot light, range 2 m, angle - 60 deg

[Alexustas]

so, you can combine all that lamp as you need

[DeputyLOL]

ok thanks

[Alexustas]

and yes, i wish to includ this lights set in may ASET_props pack

[DeputyLOL]

cool I think its gonna be great

[Alexustas]

Dimmers (B-Knob model) DL: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zn7gxk6hhbwt5wy/ASET_B-Knob-LightDimmer.zip?dl=0

Lamp props: DL: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6l4egdkoy5ntoo3/InternaLights.zip?dl=0

[Alexustas]

If you found what additional groups or light types are required. I'll add it to.

[DeputyLOL]

ok, ill let you know

[Alexustas]

But remember, lights - real fps killer ))

[Alexustas]

NOTICE, knobs named "_CP_CMD", "_CP_LEFT" and "_CP_PORT" - absolutly the same. all the difference in switcher name only. The same goes for "_CP_FO", "_CP_RIGHT" and "_CP_STARBOARD"

and also "FLOOD" and "DOME" do the same thing

[DeputyLOL]

ok

[Alexustas]

opps... found a mistake in config (( please, re-download Dimmers pack https://www.dropbox.com/s/zn7gxk6hhbwt5wy/ASET_B-Knob-LightDimmer.zip?dl=0

[Alexustas]

I have not had chance to test all the new props yet. so maybe you will find an error

[DeputyLOL]

I having issues with the lights.... some things are just disappearing. and they don't work

[Alexustas]

hmm ((
i need more info, please

[DeputyLOL]

can you see anything wrong with this.

}

Also my heading display vanished. I have no idea why, its just not there anymore. Its still in unity

[DeputyLOL]

well, my game just crashed. So i'll reload it and see if magically fixed itself!

[Alexustas]

In the meantime, please describe in detail: what you want to get what you did for it and you what got at the end of

[DeputyLOL]

I wanted: A small light on the top of the MCP that would light it up. Like in the picture. Attempt 1: JSIRPM FAILED TO INITIALISE: CHECK CONFIGURATION Non of the gauges or screens worked. But some switches were still working. The brightness switch wasn't loaded. Attempt 2: Screens still didn't work. Brightness switch had loaded, but didn't control the light. Most buttons came back to life. Attempt 3: Everything back to normal except that the heading display had disappeared. And the light still wasn't working. In the End: Game crashed.

[Alexustas]

very strange.

i've make a little break on job and do quick test. I've added to my internals one "IntOmniLight_1m-FLOOD" prop and one "ASET_B-Knob_LD_DOME" prop. starts ksp... and it's all work just fine

[Alexustas]

I looked configs that you placed there and found no obvious errors. and only one difference - I use a variable "CUSTOM_ALCOR_POWERON" and you are using the variable "CUSTOM_POWERTOGGLE"

[DeputyLOL]

yeah, that's my battery switch. If its off, nothing works. I just loaded it in again, heading display is still missing?!?!?! and the light doesn't work.

[Alexustas]

are you using "CUSTOM_ALCOR_BACKLIGHT_ON" for back lightning props?

[DeputyLOL]

no, I just left that there as it was only controlling the label

[DeputyLOL]

i use CUSTOM_BACKLIGHTLABEL

[DeputyLOL]

would that affect it?
