Spark plume configs problems

[AntonKuzin]

1. Spark hypergolic plume config produces an error -

Warning on PartSubtype hypergolicSpark on module ModuleB9PartSwitch (moduleID='plumeSwitch') on part liquidEngineMini.v2: Could not find matching module

It looks like the problem is caused by this value - moduleID = sparkFX. If you delete it, the error goes away.

2. The gas generator exhaust plume is still yellow when the hypergolic plume is selected. The main plume is white, but the gas generator's isn't changed.

I thought I had fixed this sigh guess it's back to the drawing board. As for exhaust colors I'm using the hyperbolic presets provided by WaterFall so I didn't actually "make" the plumes

[AntonKuzin]

I get you don't make plumes, but, apparently, the gas generator plume can(and should) be configured too

[munktron239]

Can I ask what combination of waterfall you are using? So I can try and recreate your error. I.e. Do you have restock or not, using restockwaterfallexpansion, etc

[AntonKuzin]

Here's how it looks for me in game.

And here's the mods list.

well, it looks like you have both StockWaterfallEffects and Waterfall Restock installed, which makes my job a lot harder. SWE uses moduleID = sparkEngine while Waterfall Restock uses moduleID = sparkFX. You are also using Restock so the spark engine has 2 plumes: one for the main and one for the gas generator. I'll have to do some testing when i get out of class to try and find the correct patching order so B9 doesn't throw an error

as for the gas generator exhaust color, its already such a small plume on such a a small engine anyways, so I'm just going to leave it as it is. If you want to open a PR which changes it to a more hyperbolic-y color id be happy to merge it.

Am I not supposed to?) They aren't marked as incompatible in CKAN, so I thought it's fine

[AntonKuzin]

Actually, you probably should just disable this plume if Restock is installed. It's inspired by the apollo ascent engine, and this engine is pressure fed, so it has no gas generator exhaust.

wow I completely forgot about this - sorry for not getting back sooner.

as for disabling the plume, it's an optional switch... so you don't have to use it... I already went through the work of making it and it's not forced on you or anything

you can still use the default plume, or if you really don't like it you can disable the patch pretty easily.
I'll have to boot up a fresh install of KSP to see what's causing your B9 error though
