xShadowx: you make plugins that affect vessels right?
<xShadowx>
as do many people
<xShadowx>
Sigma88: why?
<Sigma88>
I had an idea for a mod
<Sigma88>
But I have no idea how feasible it could be
<xShadowx>
no vessels do not need to fart nyan cats
<Sigma88>
Basically, I'd like to override the suntracking motion of solar panels
<Sigma88>
And allow to manually rotate them
<xShadowx>
uh would prolly be better to redo the partmodules for solars, and adjust there
<xShadowx>
but why o.o
<Sigma88>
I lost the backlog :/
<xShadowx>
most irc clients save logs
<xShadowx>
(to files)
<xShadowx>
anyways its very doable

Cool
<Sigma88>
If I will need some help do you mind if I ping you?
<xShadowx>
ModuleDeployableSolarPanel for solars, but its baseclass ModuleDeployablePart handles most of the tracking - what do you want it to track? or just pause tracking?
<xShadowx>
Sigma88: you can ping me, wether i answer is a diff matter :P
<riocrokite>
interested in why do you need that too :)
<Sigma88>
Manually turning the solar panels?
<Sigma88>
Thomas is adding multiple lightsources to kopernicus
<xShadowx>
oh so you want to choose which sun it tracks
<Sigma88>
There's a discussion on Kopernicus/Kopernicus#166

The second link :)

ModueleDeployablePart > public CelestialBody trackingBody > change it to whatever you want tracked
<Sigma88>
That's not the point
<xShadowx>
so you can make your own partmodule, calc what output would be for A B C sources, pick which you want, set it
<Sigma88>
I haven't done the math, but I think if two stars are at a certain angle, pointing between them could give a better result than pointing directly at one
<xShadowx>
uhh ya no clue there :P
<Sigma88>
Can't it be done with some kind of slider?
<Sigma88>
Like those for tweakscale?
<Sigma88>
Just click and set the rotation angle
<Sigma88>
Untill you are satisfied with it
<xShadowx>
you could disable the auto tracking, and have a slider just hard set the rotation of the pivot transform ya, say 0-360 degrees slider
<riocrokite>
or just adjust which stars it should track (on off) so the panel would find average position between them
<xShadowx>
im not convinced pointing between would gain more though :P i aint that good at math
