I want the MK1-2 Command Pod again! Please help to get this Pod back

[RapFab]

Some Time ago I build a Mun-Rocket. And because I found this beautiful Mod named ASET and another realy cool looking new IVA for the MK1-2 Pod. So I build the rocket with the MK1-2 Pod, that You have been able to found under the Monoproppelent Catagory, and I was so excited to flY this awsome Rocket with this awsome IVA. I planned to fly the Rocket with my Friend, that was watching my Screen per Skype, but now that I finally managed to load the Craft again, after I had to reinstall a Mod, The MK1-2 Pod was replaced with the MK1-3 Pod. I'm very sad now cause I was SO EXCITED to fly that Rocket only from the IVA. I don't even know why Squad had to remove the MK1-2 Pod completly now. I realy hope there is some Way to get that beautiful Pod back.

P.S: I'm german and I'm very sorry if omeone is not able to understand me or I wrote something wrong.

This thread might have the answer.

I already saw this Thread. But there is no answer to my question. There is only a Mod to get the old Airplane MK1 Cockpit back.

It would literally be 5 minutes of work to make a similar mod to add the Mk1-2 back in.

If you download my mod, and look at what's in it you can see what you'll need to pull from the game files.

urm.......... Turns out there is an easier way.

1. Turn on Advanced settings in VAB
2. select tech level tab
3. select number 1
4. Hey presto! old stlye Mk1 Pod next to new one

I wouldn't count on it working for long though, which is the issue.

They are slowly removing the depreciated parts.

Also that's not the one he's talking about, he wants the old 3 seater.

Thank you very much for that Idea. But I just can't figure out which Files I have to take and where to place them. And sadly I'm not getting smarter from your Mod. Would be realy thankful about help and IÄm sorry if I#m a bit complicated.

After a bit of poking around, it's not quite as simple as it seemed to be.

The depreciated parts, are sort of only...half in the game, if that makes sense? They get swapped out for the modern version when it tries to load to keep backwards compatibility.

However, when I tried to bypass this and load it like a normal part, on it's own; it was in the parts list, with all it's stats and what-not but the model itself was invisible. IVA works, but launching it just borked the game completely and spawned me in a star field. I'm honestly not sure why this is, as the config file seems fine besides the few things I had to change to make it show up in game, and all the relevant textures and such are there.

I think I'd need the original part files from a prior version, which I may actually have somewhere. Can't promise anything, and it may not happen soon, but I'm going to look into adding it back in that way, if no easier solution presents itself, or no one else has a better idea.

Nice, seems like the work is already done!

[Manwith Noname]

The RPM / ASET configs may need some editing to work with them, then again they may not. Depends how the authors went about putting things back in (if they changed [PART] names and what not).

[PolecatEZ]

Squad is slowly updating the stock internals, changing both the names and dimensions. RPM has not been updated in a very long time and no longer works with most of the stock internals. Some mod internals and Mk3 (which hasn't had an update pass yet) should still be ok.

[RapFab]

I looked at all these Mods. But my Proplem with them was that the Resolution of the Pod wasn't so high as the Stock and I just haven't found the Line in ASET to make it work with these Pod's. After that I tried everything. Changing the Names of the Pods and much more. At the End I found an Old Gamedata Backup that I made. Then I saw that in this Backup the MK1-2 Pod wasn't in the zDeprecated sow I coppied every File I found from the MK1-2 Pod into my Gamdata Ordner that I use now. I looked in the IVA and everything works. Of course I saved my Saves before that Move but now I have the MK1-2 Pod back in the Game! But still a big big Thank you to everyone that tried to help me.

[Chibbity]

Congrats!

You're officially a modder now!

Yeah. When you take the MK1-2 Pod from zDeprecated and into Squad/Parts/Command, you can find it by looking in the Advanced Tab, and looking for Tech Tier, or other search methods. And I can confirm, ASET works with it, especially the MK1-2 IVA Replacment by Alexustas.

I tried it on 1.10.1 and it works fine.
