Description

The bottom-side connection node for the Z-4K battery is recessed into the 3D model/hitbox, such that the Z-4K clips into anything connected there.

Symptom:
Clipping with connected parts on bottom-side of 4K battery.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Place Z-4K (root or not does not matter), no rotation/orientation change needed.
2. Place a Hitchhiker (or something cylindrical and simple in design) directly below Z-4K, no rotation/orientation change needed.

Possible solution:
Moving out "node_stack_bottom" from -0.125 (the default value) to about -0.155. -0.155 was where I could clearly see that the battery pack was no longer clipping into connected parts.

History

#1 Updated by KingArthur over 10 years ago

Attached is a modified part.cfg for the 4K battery. The modified "node_stack_top" and "node_stack_bottom" appear to eliminate [i]most[/i] clipping/spacing issues, though there is a slight clipping issue still remaining with the Mk2 Lander Can.

A missing closing brace for part{} has also been added to correct the oversight.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the bug was still present as of 0.21.1, unless in the very unlikely event Steam had failed to update my installation propely.

Still present in 0.23
Happens with all thin cylidrical batteries (z-4k, z-1k, z200), some thin probe cores (OKTO2, RC-L01 RGU; Couldn't reproduce with RC-001S RGU) and Probodobodyne RoveMate.
Can be abused to put infinite amount of batteries in a place of a single one. (see screenshot)

I think this was probably due to the code that caused overlap when node attaching thin parts, which was fixed in 1.0. I could not get this to happen here in 1.1.3.
