New Parts: Engine Clusters for Ship Core

Features

  • One part per engine cluster / variant (implemented)
  • Layouts defined through config - no static models, everything is mix'n'match through config-based definitions. (implemented)
  • Ability to use stock/mod engines to create -new- engine clusters (config/patch based, not @ runtime) (implemented)
  • Uses model load-on-demand mechanics for optimization and clean implementation (implemented)
  • Allows use of animations, for extendable engine bells. (Not-Yet-Implemented)
  • Dynamic engine-mount/shroud swapping capability (with attach-node moving/part offsetting). No mount, per-engine mount, and single per-cluster mounts all valid options. (implemented)
  • Can scale mounts and engines independently of each other, and independent of the inter-engine spacing (implemented)
  • Can adjust engine spacing for specific mounts through mount-definition overrides (implemented)
  • Allows for easy adding of new / user defined cluster layouts. Layouts are defined as a simple as simple scalable positions which are then scaled for each engine-cluster layout depending upon its specific settings.(implemented)
  • Dynamic repositioning and adjustment of SSTUNodeFairing depending upon the config settings and current mount option.(implemented)
  • Allow use of stock / other mods' models to create new engine mount options, including height offset and inverting the model if needed. (implemented)

Models (engines, mounts, adapter plates):

Basic implemention is complete. All that remains is adding more models over time, and bugfixing/maintenance.
