I hope the Iris door works.

Hi DEV,
After Update 196, keen broken all 3 subparts doors! only 2 parts are working.

Sackboy338 How's that 3x3 iris door going? I need one as well. xD

For the information of anyone that decides to try and implement an advanced door, things I found out:

* The "Definitions" and "Definition" Tag is required to be specified exactly as it is in the example.
* The position of the subpart is defined by the offset inside the object, even when using a empty to specify the file that is used. (Makes calculating rotations a pain).
* The Opening IDs only reference the subparts, and in the order they are specified in the XML.
* The Opening IDs can only reference existing subparts, if they do not, then it will cause a crash of Space Engineers.

Is there any other documentation regarding "Advanced Doors" anywhere?

Am I correct in saying that the dummy in the main model is the location that the described subparts in the xml are mounted to?

thx for sharing, got my stuff to work.

The iris foor would be great if you could make it work with the boardind tube merge block mod so it can cover tje connection side and make a air tight door

Is it possible to make the door frame flush with the door itself...and or can you do that???:D

@Kamikazi2142™ the video just shows different examples

anyone else notice the video has nothing to do with the picture?

hey i was heare to ask the same like sackboy338 can we ghet a Iris Door 3x1x3 or bigger

If someone could make a mod with iris door like this one, only bigger, that would be nice (or at least help to make my own) Because I am making a drone-bay-airlock thing, and the iris door looks EPIC with it, since drones come out the top of the ship, but a 2x1x2 door just isn't cutting it, I need at LEAST 3x1x3, though bigger doors are always welcome :P

This is awesome - I know it is just an example, but I found it useful; I especially like the safe door - very nice for bulkheads that slam shut before two ship sections separate explosively.

A 1x1x1 size iris door would be apprechiated. And also 1x5x5 size iris door for small ships aswell.

Can i make a suggestion i haven't seen yet? A door on the diagonal (45º rotation). Have been playing with these and liking them a lot. Thanks.

a smaller door version of the metroid like one would be cool

to Razordor

why isnt it relistic that the hinged door is airtight? theres airtight hinged doors in real life.. sound proof ones too. longs it makes a seal it doesnt matter what method the door uses (just more commen to have a singl slidding door and generaly stronger

Great mod, awesome. I'd love to use the swing door for a landing gear door, can you make us a mirror image one? Or one that has no top door frame bar so they can be daisy chained together? Also can they be used on small ships please? Again many thanks amazing stuff!

LOL, are you a dev? Either way you really know your stuff brah.

you could still have a hinged door that was air tight. its all in how the sealing surfaces are made. i would like to see more doors like these. Could you even potentaly do the same thing with the armored gates/air tight hanger doors?

is this still working or not?

I think it would be realistic if the hinge door was not airtight. Though I will admit that these doors are genious to think about implementing them.

I was reading your pull request on GitHub and I guess user kleshchevand doesn't get the whole concept behind the autoclose feature. 95% or more of players are not going to script anything. Timer blocks in their current implementation are virtually useless and nobody wants to use one giant block to close one door, not to mention the fact you can't use the Door button to start the Timer anyways. I was tempted to sign up for an account just to comment on the reply.
Oh well. :D

Can you make them available for small ship?

Now this is nice. Could you make a 1x1 and 1x3 version of the Iris Door?

Also this does beg the question of deployable shields. Open its just like a little box, but when opend a bunch of little translucent hexagons fly out and make a wall, bubble ects.

CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A RAMP!!! OH MY GOSH YES!!! RAMPS! LIKE BOARDING RAMPS!!!

Great class, can you make the Iris Door to 3 x 3 or 1 x 1???

Cool! I hope Keen really appreciates the work you and others are putting into Space Engineers. I certainly do. Yes, the pink box appeared on all the doors. You're probably right that it's a game bug. I didn't think to see if it shows up with a vanilla door during construction. Maybe something is missing.

its an easy fix, will create pr for this and the other 2 bugs and hope it gets added for next update

just tested and see what you mean

is the pink error box shwoing for all 5 doors? they all use the vanilla construction models because i didn't made any construction models (yet) (<Model BuildPercentUpperBound="0.33" File="Models\Cubes\Large\DoorConstruction_1.mwm" />) so may just be a game Bug

Doesn't look like the Autoclose feature made it into the integrated code. I noticed a big pink block with "Error" mapped to all the cube faces when you're building a door. Is that a place holder of some sort, as it's only there during the construction phase?

Yay! Finally! 8D Strange they didn't mention it though...Either way...can't wait to see these in action...

This Mod is now functional since todays Update (01.088) although they have not mentioned it in the changelog

Nice doors!

Just a thought for your folding door, any chance of turning that "folding" mechanic and putting it on solar panels? so you can have folding solar panels?

Hopefully today will be the day you uhh...thingy gets implemented into the game...so this incredible mod will function...really hope it doesn't get pushed back another week... 8)

Excellent! Thanks!

the Autoclose feature is a nice idea and i've just added it

I agree the best practice would be for all mod authors to update their door mods to use the correct syntax but there may be some that are abandoned and will never be updated.
On a different note, while you're working on your advanced door API, would it be possible to add an autoclose feature? I'm thinking an option in the control panel for the door where you can select auto close and a time delay so that after the door is opened, it will close itself after the specified delay.

Thanks! I'm sure a lot of us would appreciate you trying. What you say about DX11 is totally true, but some of the best mods (used & refurbished equipment, for instance) are made by people that seem to be permanently gone, so will never get updated.

i can try to get this fixed but tbh every older doormod should be updated anyway because of dx11, if they update for dx11 they can also just add the missing definition

Eikester- Any chance of getting Keen to re-fix that problem you were talking about that prevents older doors from being placed? I really miss some of them.

I'm asking you because you seemed to know what the problem was and have something to do with it getting fixed (or broken ^_^).

Офигенно! А сделать на этой основе шлюз стаканного типа не получится? 4 створки, при переключении с одной стороны закрываются с другой раскрываются... Или с С образной секцией которая поворачивается куда нужно? :)

Nice to see them here, Eikester. Saw your test video on Imgur.

Did anyone notice a Stargate reference?

read the description guys

I get an error when I put it into a world so it doesn't load.

Good ideas with these. I'm rather partial to the iris door myself.

Nice! Been hoping Space Engineers would start allowing more complex subpart animations.
I'm assuming this is a change you submitted to the source code? (github and all).
The delayed door looks weird but I get that it's testing a concept.
Speaking of doors, whatever happened to the "MyObjectBuilder_DoorDefinition" check that allowed older door mods to still work?
