Off topic stuff

woo482 I was thinking to make somehing similar but don't know to code...maybe someone of orbiter expert could make a genera dll for ground vehicle...you know,for whell rotate back,forward,turn left right and co.
Here's one concept of mars rover...it's not my model...but with poper module maybe I could make something.

 

[Woo482]

i dont think any one will make a dll that you can just change the mesh and your done but the source code of my rover is in the zip file on orbit hangar

Yeah,don't want to use other module,I was thinking something like Vinka spacecraft but just for vehicle.
Ground_vehicle.dll....but maybe one day.

 

[Woo482]

well the creator of the delta glider 4 is making this http://orbiter.dansteph.com/forum/read.php?f=1&i=17793&t=17793 that will be really simple for you to add your own cars/trucks

That's look cool...but whe moved from topic,someone use transporter form star trek...:huh:

 

[Woo482]

I moved the topic I just want my mars rover thread to be clear but you can talk all you want here

 

[liber]

Woo482:

I've had an idea:

How about, instead of making a rover & modules, how about making the modules AS the actual rover?

Picture this:

Cylindrical modules, simply launch atop a rocket as usual, and head for Mars or Moon. They have heat protection, so they can enter atmosphere & then parachute down. Then, once on surface, covers are jettisoned to reveal windows, wheels etc. Then you can attach lots of these together to make a base - maybe include doors you can open, to move around inside interior etc? When its time to move base, simply un-dock & move! Can be reached by a simple Mars lander, like the one already on OH???

Maybe lost of different modules - life support, crew quarters, storage, control etc???

 

[Woo482]

I dont know about the modules being rovers but there will be modules I have already started work on the Mars Crew Habitat Module (MCHM) but you all have to remember my meshes are very crap at the moment but they do what they are made for

 

[Orbinaut Pete]

AAH - wait, I see my idea has actually already been done in orbiter:

I never knew of this addon!!!

 

[Woo482]

if you want you can make request for models for me to build but remember I am not the best person in the world for making meshes and you might see a one man plane that goes on the back of the rover

 

[Orbinaut Pete]

You mean like the ShuttlePB on the back of the rover?

Cool!

 

[Woo482]

not exactly like the shuttle pb but you can attach any thing that fits I am talking about some kind of small plane with 1 or 2 seats for ummu but i can only make what gattis pilot can code

 

[Dman1410]

where did that addon come from also i would like to have a link
