Yep, I have reasons for adding this to Ships!

same so many fun builds with this, nothing quite like it on workshop still.. just not the same

Really wish this worked

Literacy - 100 @pneuma

Ah. I didn't realize that is how they did it. Is there any way to take advantage of the no collision damage mechanic they implemented with stone? I haven't looked at the code or know if you can make that reference between the different objects / ?object types?. It is C++ right?

@ SpectreOne
The original mod used space balls for rails to work. After Keen changed how space balls work way back it broke the mechanics on how the rails slide without hanging or taking damage. I have a semi working test that I have been working on reliability of use.

I wish you luck in remaking this mod. If I may ask, what are you having difficulties with?

What i was trying to say, was that using "low_profile_loader_small_ship" as sliding door frame in station. The door made by small blast blocks has "small_ship_slide" at both sides. Door made like this are overlappng the door frame insert hole, so is unable o fit them to the door frame.

I have been toying with making this work once again but the outlook is grim in its current build. If I get it working it will be an entire new MOD.

Any plan making the "small_ship_slide" collision / hit box little smaller hight so it will fit inside "low_profile_loader_small_ship" rail? Example: I make simple up/down sliding door made by small_ship_blast_blocks + 2x small_ship_slide at both sides, then i am unable to fit them inside "low_profile_loader_small_ship" in 2_block_large_ship space that is used as door frame.

are these messages outdated or is it the mod?

Can someone make working (right) version of this mod?

this would be perfect for launching missiles from my space base

@woostyboy Sadly no, the rails explode now this mod is long since dead needs a revive or steal it was a fun one to implement on ships.

His guys. Anyone know if this is still operational?

Kickass modd remember when it was released it was "the bomb"... now sadly they ARE bombs... love to use this when you have time in your life best o luck.

Its going to be a bit as I have to learn better DX11 texturing but I have come across the time to start tinkling with this again. No solid time on the fix/update but I am working on it.

I assume these don't work on planets....

just take your time its your project and your life.

Life is getting in the way guys I will hopefully have time @ the end of the summer to revive this project. SE was changing so much DX9 then 10 then 11 new ways to skin. I don't have the time in the busy summer to learn on the fly, create, and work.

Life is Priority. Fix it if you have time, otherwise dont. and sry for my bad english in my previous post, i was drunk.

Sorry guys been dealing with life. I hope to revisit this project in the near future once again.

Yes, and no Update i Sight last Year. Mod is unusable.

well this sadly doesnt work.... too bad. everytime i try to launch the rail and the slider just explode destroying half of my ship... and i dont see the sliders for friction. maybe i hit the wall of it cause it tilts my ship due to gravity pulling no aligned to my Center of mass. hope you can fix :)

Great idea it just doesnt work in the current build. The slider settings are missing, the slider connects with the next rail everytime resulting in it getting ripped off. Will stay subbed on the remote chance it gets fixed.

The Idea is good. I need Rails. Just Rails. I build, in connect a Ship. Then i fire the Thrusters... poff... poff... poff... The Ship always colidate with next Railblock. You must do the Rails tighter, then a Ship CANT move in the Rails to left, right, up & down. But now the Ship moves in all that to 5cm... Thank you.

Rails keep catching and produce a large gravity field that drives you nuts.

I'm also not seeing the "Friction" and "Restitution sliders for the slides.

I have a similar problem to MattPlaysSimulations: The rails keep catching and stuttering. If there is a way for you to have them auto align themselves so the rail and the track to tuch be sort of float, that'd be really cool. Also, maybe change the default grav field sliders, or maybe make them fixed so they fit certain dimensions only.

Enjoy the weather while its out! Awesome concept by the way. Now ima need to make me a carrier or fighter scrambling bays on my base now :)

Sorry I have not been around much. I have been waiting for planets to fine tune this system with a new design. It is also riding season and I have been spending a lot of time on the road. I will check out the worlds with issues the next rainy day.

Luv the mod, one thing though, they keep cluttering up my hud and i can´t stop them broadcasting wo simply sliding down the owned antennas in the info section. Is this an issue for anyone else?

here is the world all set up

@MattPlaysSimulations upload the world with the issue and I will check it out.

tracks keep causing the vehicle to keep jamming and stopping to zero

I'll upload it for you on friday, 'cause i have no access at the time.
And big thanks in advance for your help!

@D45_P4nz3R If you publish the world you are working on I will have a look. Loading is a bit tricky like threading a needle.

After falling into nearly constant state of rage and breaking up several ships...i give up on this. Totally cool idea, but loading is nearly impossible and all the time the ships get stuck on the rails, tangling around or just breaking.

Making them offical

After Running some tests, if you don't want to use forcefield in order to have some airtights launch tubes (because they're not realistic of any other reason), you can use the standard airtight doors. Just leave a gap of one block in your railing in order for the door to close, and everything will be fine. A 1-block hole in the railing doesn't seem to matter.

@NIGHT RAVEN try using the forcefield mod on the workshop, works wonders if you want an airtight launch tube.

@NIGHT RAVEN not air tight because they are not an entire block wide. Besides you need to place them on top of another block and you would be needing a door to exit anyhow. if you can think of an application that they would need to be air tight let me know I will consider adding a full block version.

are the rails airtight?

@DeltaNinerNiner Ty for the comment. The not launching thing is in the bugs and issues post. Its a space ball thing I can not correct with the MOD glad to see you got it working for you.

After figuring out the spontaneous combusting rails (I had RCS thrusters on the bottom near the slide) And the whole not-launching problem. This is Amazing! Can't wait to see some Battlestars popping up!

I think I have Ironed out as many Bugs as I can. I will be making build Stages for the Single and Low Profile Small Launcher system this week and Finalizing this MOD unless someone finds something wrong with it. VTG will be Releasing a New MOD This week Also I think Eve Online Fans will Love. Keep an eye out.

BEHOLD, THE SPACE VERSION OF THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER CATAPULT!!

Update: Jun 4 @ 6:13pm
-Added Prototype Low Profile Single Small ship Rail and Loader (Indicated by the construction icon as Prototype)
-Adjusted Collision models to have "LESS" exploding Rails

@Nic_man (Solus) I don't see why not. you could even build it in 2 directions to make it go the other direction just reverse the field from 1.0G to -1.0G

Can you build a single direction train with this?
