does this still work?

Any chance you could re adjust the mirroring of the solar panels?

@PrairForMerci The Small ship sizes could be the same sizes just shrinked down to small ship
What i mean is you have a solar panel that is 1x1 on large ships, on small ships it should be 1x1 as well
that would be nice

If you're still around at all, which I doubt, you should know that the game halved the cost of solar panels. Simply half the amount of solar cells required to build your solar panels. :P

Still really hoping to see small ship versions of these amazing solar panels!
My ideal sizes would be 3x3 and either 3x2 or 3x1 (or both)
And I would love to see wing shaped versions too! Just flat triangular shapes in 2x1 that can be placed nicely on top of my aircraft wings, or instead of wings.

@Author ; Do you mind if I re-upload this with some adjustments based on realistic solar calculations and such? I have a solar mod of my own but its old, and I'm preparing to rebuild it from scratch. Mostly I just alter value output, but I can't mod someone else's mod so in order to do that, I'd have to re-upload all your assets, should you allow it.

Otherwise, I might just end up having another modeler help me out with making a new version of everything instead. I'm still considering so as well.

Yeah if these were to be colorable we could make a nice tie fighter

Was thinking to add this one to DS but seems abandoned for a year.

do these come in black?

Thank you!

this is pretty awesome... specially for a ship like mine that will have them rotate on a advanced rotor

would love a flat 3 x 5 or 3 x 10 small ship version :)

Requesting Small block versions as well

small block pls

small block?

Small Grid?

@Endet any mod that has been updated in the past year is basically guaranteed to be DX11 compatible.

Is this mod DX11 compatible?

Will the problem with light sensor be fixed ? I think to deabo this .. if its not work right, no use on my DS ....

Your 1x1 solar panels use 16 solar cells despite being 1/8th the size of a 2x4 solar panel that uses 64 solar cells. They should only need 8 solar cells.

Long story short: Found out why yours solar panels do not work as they should.
Your panels have light sensor way too high, basically if you put your panel collision and appearence models upside down it will work as needed.

Cant describe it properly but easyest way to understand what's wrong is put both vanila and your panels with same angle and position side to side and toggle f11 debug mode.


Panels placed identically.
Panel > "_"
Light sensor > "/" or "\"
Sun > *

Vanila > _/_/_/_/_ Your > _ _ _ _ _
[this text here only for form]\ \ \ \

how about coloring the panels black with no lines like they have no been developed for real life? rather than blue with lines through them.

I will look into it

Same issue as PeterRabbit has told. Also need small ship version.

The points where the solar panels check for sunlight does not appear to be in the same place as the actual surface, because solar panels that are next to each other are obscuring each other. Maybe you have an incorrect PanelOffset value? Here's a screenshot of some panels in full sunlight, yet only the ones on the right are getting the full effect, the rest are impaired: http://i.imgur.com/6JsVz33.jpg

Would it be possible to have an even bigger 4x8 version?

okay :)

@warangel should be done this weekend

good mod tho i would like see small ship ones

Noice

Time to start building my next iteration of Red Dwarf. Thanks muchly!

Added a 45 degree solar Panel PFM Solar Ramp

Really great mod! If you're still trying to decide on dimensions of the small versions, I don't think it matters too much, but a maximum of 4 blocks wide, with the small triangle pieces 2 blocks wide seems sensible.

For a moment I thought this meant I could finally mount solar panels on 45 degree angled walls, but...

add ramps x.x

hey everyone let me know what sizes you guys would want for the small version iam a bit lost on what is useful on small ship version.
the large 2x4 is 5x10 on small for vanilla but that doesn't scale to well with half that size.

so i was thinking about 3x3slope 3x6 slope 3x3 and 3x6 let me know what you guys think or numbers of 4 4x4 etc let me know what you guys want please :).

@spiritplumber[FUG] they dont need platinum

can you make it so they can be mid block as well?

Out of curiosity, why does this need platinum?

Great models otherwise - now I have a lovely solar sail

Can you add a ramp version? I mean that would be more useful than the triangle ones.

Added construction models. will do small ship version in the coming days.

The only thing I wish there was foldable ones

Can you make Sloped Solar Panels?

This is fantastic! Please add small ship version.

so like how these look so going to use these on my station im building. wish there was curved solar panels to go with the curved blocks mods out there.

Nice. Looking forward to the small ship versions as they'll be good for Tie Fighter wings.

You never know with keen :)

Mods that aren't code-related or based on the PBR renderer work in either.

ok great.

might want to put that in the description. but hey your mod and its awesome

i only use stable so it works on stable for sure. dev it should work its just a cosmetic mod and cubeblock file. and it uses the vanilla textures.

so stable 100% dev i need someone to double check it
