This file, which we will refer to as the stock Propulsion.xml, is a copy of the Propulsion.xml used by the stock game to load and configure the various rocket engine components and fuel types. Two of these files (both name Propulsion.xml) will play an important roll in the creation of this mod.

The import data settings allow you to assign each submesh of each part mesh to a specific trim level.ĭuring the mod setup, whenever the 'Start Creating Mod' button is clicked on the mod builder window, a bunch of files and folders should be automatically created. Submeshes are used to allow a mesh to be colored with different trim levels in the game. All meshes belonging to the same subpart of a part will share the same texture.

They are a way to assign different textures to different meshes within an individual part.

Subpart Ids affect the texturing of parts. For the imported model, submeshes will be merged together and the 'w' channel of the first UV set will be overwritten with subpart/material data. The part model import data settings are saved to model files and are used during the import process for the model. Note: PartModelImportSettings - What do they do? When done, makes sure you click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the window. Assign the subpart ids and submesh trim levels as seen the the screenshot below. Once the model is assigned, the mesh names for the 5 meshes included in the model should show up in the inspector window. Assign the RocketEngines model to the Model field. Expand the fields on the new item until you see the Model field. In the inspector window, expand Models and set the size to 1. In the project window, select the _PartModelImportData object at ' /Assets/Content/Craft/Parts/Meshes/'. Next, we need to use the _PartModelImportData object to setup the mesh to be imported and used as a part in the game. On the Materials tab, disable the importing of materials. On the Animation tab, disable the importing of constraints and animations. We also need to ensure that the mesh is Read/Write Enabled (should be by default). On the Model tab in the inspector window, we can disable importing of blendshapes, visibility, cameras, and lights. We should tweak the import settings a bit on this model. During this process, a RocketEngines model should have been imported at ' /Assets/Content/Craft/Parts/Meshes/RocketEngines.fbx'. At this point, the mod should be in a state that it can be built and loaded into the game, even though it does nothing yet.ĭuring the setup steps above, we imported the tutorial assets. This contains the meshes and other assets needed to complete this tutorial. Next, import the Rocket Engines Tutorial Assets unitypackage into the project. See the Getting Started tutorial for more info on this. We will name this mod 'Rocket Engines Tutorial'. The abominations created in this tutorial are examples only and should not be taken seriously as rocket engines.įirst we create a new mod project. This tutorial was last updated with version 0.8.107.0 and Unity 2019.2.3f1.įor this tutorial, we will be creating a custom fuel type ('Tutorial Fuel A'), two rocket engines ('Tutorial Engine A' and 'Tutorial Engine B'), and one rocket engine nozzle ('Tutorial Nozzle A').

This tutorial was created using version 0.7.3.2 of the game and Unity 2018.4.4f1.

This tutorial assumes you have completed the Getting Started tutorial and you are familiar with the basics of creating mods in SimpleRockets 2. In this mod tutorial, we will cover the basics of creating new rocket engines that plug in to the existing procedural rocket engine system.
