Precisely adjust positions and rotations of your parts easier than ever with
(drumroll)
The Fine Tuner Mod!
Edit: This is outdated
Please download the latest version from here
Installation instructions:
PC:
- Download the PC mod from here
- Move the .spmod file to
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\Mods
(if theMods
folder isn't there, you can create it) - Start SimplePlanes
- Click on the new "Mods" option in the main menu.
- Click on the "Fine Tuner" mod and then in the lower right hit "enable"
PC-Alternative:
- Download the PC mod from here
- Double click the mod and if asked open with Steam bootstrapper and tell Steam it's ok to open SimplePlanes.
- Click on the "Fine Tuner" mod and then in the lower right hit "enable"
- note: this is marked as "Alternative" because there may be glitches with it on some machines, but if either one doesn't work try the other.
OSX/Mac:
- Download the PC mod from here
- Move the .spmod file to
ROOT:/Users/[UserName]/Library/Application Support/unity.Jundroo.SimplePlanes/Mods
, or for older versions it should be/Users/NAME/Library/Containers/com.jundroo.SimplePlanesOSX/Data/Library/Application Support/com.jundroo.SimplePlanesOSX/Mods
(if theMods
folder isn't there, you can create it) - Start SimplePlanes
- Click on the new "Mods" option in the main menu
- Click on the "Fine Tuner" mod and then in the lower right hit "enable"
- Thanks to @SpiritusRaptor for the OSX file path
Android:
- Download the Android mod from here
- Move the .spmod-android file to
Android/data/com.jundroo.SimplePlanes/files/Mods
(if theMods
folder isn't there, you can create it) - Start SimplePlanes
- Click on the new "Mods" option in the main menu.
- Click on the "Fine Tuner" mod and then in the lower right hit "enable"
- note: you may be able to try and open the mod file after downloading, but some people may have trouble getting it to open with SimplePlanes, and the way I have written out is more reliable.
Now in the SimplePlanes designer, near the bottom of the screen, a fair bit to the left of the play button, there should be a new button, click/tap on this button to open the fine tune tool (note: the tool will not automatically close when a stock-SP menu is opened, so you may need to close it manually to deal with other menus).
Please report any bugs you find here with a detailed description of how to reproduce the problem.
Also feedback is welcome.
Steam users: I do plan to publish this on the Steam workshop, but since it's in beta I figured I'd wait a little while.
Semi-Important: Since SP gobbles up any keyboard input that it has bound to something, you can't use the keys it has bound, so I recommend that you go into the controls configuration and in "designer" remove the "backspace" from the delete part input, as well as changing the "next weapon" input (in the "flight" tab) to something other than the period/dot so that you can type in custom decimal numbers, too.
Edit: I can't believe I forgot, big thanks to @Skua for the awesome icon for the tool button!
Other Edit: here is the version with scaling
Sick!
@HellFireKoder plsssss give me link
Plsssss give me a link of simpleplane android version mods

@Multidimensional ??? Ok je ne comprends rien lÃ
@Multidimensional What?
How do i move the android download file to the url?
Je n'ai pas tout compris là 😅
@HellFireKoder don't worry, typical me, asking all over the forums and everything, then going back into the game and accidentally figuring it out....but thanks for responding, I'd like to become a top designer for mobile devices keeping my planes within 300 parts, (before I forget , thanks for this MOD, has really helped me recreate my first Android plane : p-61A ) and also thx for the link. One more thing , with the MOD, sometimes when I wanna move a multi -selection and I begin it , it'll undo the previous step, I don't know if this is normal but I just move the part around a couple times so when it undoes it it doesn't revert,) if so then that's fine but if not, it's still fine. Cheers
@VediViniVici @Mrloominati for rotating entire assemblies, check the latest version, which is in the mods sections, here, and allows you to select multiple parts to rotate or move at once.
@VediViniVici I wanted to know that as well because if u can I don't know how, and I also wanted to know weather u'd be able to nudge the whole sub assembly too, as I'm making a gun turret that moves in every direction but I need to nudge the assembly inside the fusalage for it to look good. It's a upcoming upload, of a p-61a black widow
How do I use this? Can I get PC controls please?
@HellFireKoder I can't make this mod for android, when it asks for the folder I select the android-sdk folder then it pulls back up the folder selection, you know why?
@SuperSanic
I guess so.@Johndfg
@SuperSanic at least you have a username as cool as supersanic
UUUUGGGGGHHHHH@HellFireKoder
@SuperSanic iOS version of SimplePlanes does not support mods because of Apple's policy, so no.
Is there a way to make it for iOS?
I don't know how I get the version with scaling on Android. I've tried downloading the newer version but the older version keeps showing up in game.
i finally got it too work
@HellFireKoder can i get a version where the rotation is below position? i would have done it myself but i dont do XML modding
I have to say, I can't believe I lived without this for so long. This really changes the game; from all the builders out there, thanks for writing this!
Can you put the link to the version that has scaling and is updated? @HellFireKoder
Dang, this has literally destroyed one of my designs. All the joints are freaking out and breaking because the rotation values for the body parts are just a little bit off :(
I can't figure out why either. I reset it, save it, and it goes back to being disjointed. I mirror one side, and the other side is different.
There seems to be a bug where the mod will ninja-edits some rotation values on my parts I'm selecting by just a tiny bit, which puts everything out of whack.
Anyone else get this?
I'll post exact repro steps once I figure it out and publish my model.
It's amazing! So easy to use and it's functional!
Yus @HellFireKoder
@SPCWorkshops Android version works for kindle fire :)
@HellFireKoder kindle fire??
@HellFireKoder ah man
@SPCWorkshops Apple's policy does not allow the iOS version of the game to support modding, therefore, being jail broken won't change it, since you're still running a version of the game that doesn't support modding.
@HellFireKoder can it work on iOS if it's jail broken
@hellfirekoder ithasnoscalem8
And I have the scaling version
But it didn't work, if my phone is the problem it's an Android. LG G5
Thx
Can you please update this mod to have a scaling option and not lock up when you click the nudge arrow a few times?
@HSAeroWerkes1 Yeah I found it, but it should be at the top of the post.
XD
@FuryionAircraft I just saw ut's at the bottom of the description
@HSAeroWerkes1 Wow I can't believe I missed it. @HellFireKoder put the version with scaling at the top of the post please, people might find it easier.
@FuryionAircraft Not the link at the top
@HellFireKoder I have a new idea but I cant do it...my idea is can you add an new feature of editing its size and if you maked please say it to me i want to download it thanks
@HellFireKoder hmm, I tried, but it made little difference, but it's fine
@MediciAviation243 It isn't made for increasing power, it's made for scaling things... if you really want to make an engine more powerful, but the same size, first scale it up, then turn off scale engine power and scale it back down.
When I try to scale engine power or exhaust, It makes the engine larger as well, I turned off relative scale, but it still won't work, what do I do? Plus I am on android, in case you need to know@HellFireKoder
Darn it! What do I do?@HellFireKoder
@DatsunEngineeringCompany For android, follow the directions in the main post, for iOS
@TITIPATWBLU Because of Apple's policy, iOS does not support mods.
How do I get this mod on mobile?@HellFireKoder
works on ios?
@Johndfg Sigh I Just Formatted My Pc And I'm Gonna Have To Do it Again Soon.
@Racrandall Probably because it isn't a mod it's a virus. Hellfire trolled us all
I Think Something Is Wrong With This-It Keeps Your SP From Working
@Johndfg it says file not found im try to put i into mod folders
@arcues System32
@HellFireKoder what the file name
@HellFireKoder nvm I got it! Thanks!! [_=
@HellFireKoder uhh, what do u mean??
@Victor039 with this version, and the "Scale" button+window that it adds :)
@arcues go to the folder where the
Mods
folder goes, right-click somewhere (anywhere, pretty much) in that folder, and click "new folder", then name it "Mods
".@HellFireKoder how do you re-size blocks (change their size)?
@HellFireKoder how to create mod folder
@arcues the mod isn't on Steam yet, but the PC or Mac version work with the steam version of SimplePlanes just the same :)
witch one is steam
@HellFireKoder i have same problem as AntiSphere
What's the progress so far with this mod?
@AntiSphere I am also confronted with this bug for a while
@HellFireKoder THANKS FOR ANSWER
@kukimuki1234 That's how many units the selected part is moved by when you hit one of the buttons next to position x y or z.
Oh, and it stands for "fine nudge", since, ya know... fine tuner... and also the stock game has nudge, but you can't adjust how far, and sometimes it's not fine enough XD <>
@HellFireKoder what means that f-nudge increment
@HellFireKoder ah thanks you'd fantastic
@AntiSphere I haven't heard of it before, but that sounds awful! And if anyone has it, there's always a chance someone else will get it....
I'm not sure what the cause is unfortunately, but if I get some time and figure it out, I'll definitely want to fix it.
Thanks for the bug report.
@KingDeadshot have you tried the directions in the main post? They suggest manually moving the mod file, instead of trying to open it.
@BenkelmansMadScientist sorry, what? You mean the file path? Um, idk, in a file browser? I don't have OSX so I don't know the little details :/
I have a problem but i didnt want to bother you with it because i assume your a very busy guy, but its started to get on my nerves ALOT. When i try to use the nudge tools within the mod it freezes my camera in place and i cant move it whenever u use the mod unless i restart the designer(exit out or go into game world) i was wondering if this is a known bug or not. if its only happening to me you dont have to fix it. i dont want to inconvenience you
Best mod ever! I love it!
@RMark1 Mac just uses the PC file.
I'll edit the comment to reflect that :)
@Aviation the only version up with scaling has the option to scale only the selected part, so I'm not sure what the problem is... if you have a previous version installed, perhaps the new version isn't properly overwriting it.
I've kinda asked a whole bunch, but I've had no luck finding the version of this mod WITH scaling and the ability to scale only the selected part. So far I've found the one with scaling, but nothing further. could you give me any help with this?
@HellFireKoder THANK YOU!
@HooptieScientist you need this version from the comments ;)
Not sure were to voice and questions and concerns. But I downloaded the mod but I'mean not able to scale anything
It works on 1.4.5.1 !!!
@HellFireKoder I have gotten around to downloading it today. I am happy to report that it work just fine and without any flaws. Great job for making such an amazing mod.
@HellFireKoder Thanks for the help.
@KnightOfAraluen I use it on my Kindle Fire HDX, just follow the Android directions (you will need a file browser app, such as ES File explorer, for moving the file) :)
@HellFireKoder Do you know if I can get this for my kindle? If so, could you explain the process to me, as well as any additional apps I will need.
okay, thank you! This will make my life a lot easier :D @HellFireKoder
@aircraftarsenal123 PC and OSX use the same mod file, so yes, the PC one should work :)
So is there a Scaling Mod for OS X? Or do I use the one for the PC version. @HellFireKoder
@BroPlanes Apple's policy prevents SimplePlanes from supporting mods on iOS.
@Gamechievements I know what to do. What are you having trouble on?
@HellFireKoder I got it
@Gamechievements @Johndfg Very sorry guys, I don't actually have OSX so I don't know how to help :(
@Johndfg Try getting rid of ROOT: at the beginning.
@Johndfg Me neither!
I have no clue how to find the ROOT:/Users/johndfg/Library/Application Support/unity.Jundroo.SimplePlanes/Mods file :/
Hey, I'm back :P I just upgraded to OSX El capitan and it isnt working for the paths to get to the mods folder. I've tried so many times but it does nothing. Is there a new path for new versions like El Capitan?
@HellFireKoder thank you! :)
@Eagle355 Apple's policy prevents mod support on iOS.
@Johndfg yes, however for size you will need this new version instead of the one in the main post :)
Hey @HellFireKoder
I'm thinking of getting SimplePlanes for Mac, and just to be clear, using fine tuner I can change positions, rotations, and size of all blocks?
On mac
Btw where can I find ROOT:/Users/[UserName]/Library/Application Support/unity.Jundroo.SimplePlanes/Mods, ? I'm not the best at this type of stuff
What about IOS? (iPad, iPhone...)
@HellFireKoder
i downloaded it and it doesn't scale parts just like the older versions I have.
@TooniisAerospace like this version?
You should add scaling options as well!
@Ngoat yeah good idea
Thanks@HellFireKoder
@HellFireKoder i figured that will work, and i meant without making the engine bigger
@FighterCrafter14 this version can :)
@jfriss Well, you could always scale the engine power DOWN.... or you could scale the engine up with scale engine power on, then turn scale engine power off and scale the engine down, which will leave the engine power as it was when it was big.
Can this change the size of parts?
@HellFireKoder and how do you scale the power of an engine without making the engine huge?
@HellFireKoder once i tried that, and it didnt work, now it does
@jfriss ... Hit the scale button.... type in each of the scale(x,y,z) boxes a number smaller than 1.00... and hit scale....
@HellFireKoder but how do you scale down? i have that one and what do you type in for it to scale down???????????
@jfriss With the PC download linked in this comment :)
how do you scale parts down? for computer
how do you make parts? Do you need to code to make a part show on your plane? I want my car to follow me when the part is on the plane, car but it's not working. oh wait never mind
@FighterCrafter14 Apple's policy doesn't allow mods on iOS
@ChasingHorizon the main post is an "old" download, for scaling get this one :)
Is there an iOS mod?
@HellFireKoder i cannot deleting this mod. :|
When will there be updates?
AWESOME!!!!!!!
@TimothyWong It works just fine on Windows 10... perhaps you're using the wrong link? The one in the main post is an old link, for the version with scaling, check here.
@HellFireKoder how do you add power
@CaesiciusPlanes It's not in the definite plans, sorry.
@CaesiciusPlanes work with... what?
@HellFireKoder Used the wrong mac text. I used the older one instead of the first one.
@Gamechievements glad you got it to work, though...
@Gamechievements no it isn't, in the main post I said:
You said:
Look at those, and tell me what the difference is, besides the fact that you left your own username, "SwagMaster", instead of putting "[UserName]", which was supposed to be replaced with your username anyway, so that would make what I said:
For you (assuming that's your real username), which makes them identical.
@Gamechievements ... that's exactly where the directions (the ones in the main post, that I told you to follow) said to put the mod file -_-
@Gamechievements Don't just try to open the mod, follow the directions for where to put it..?
I don't have Mac, but so far you're the only one who's reported it bringing you to the AppStore version, so... idk, make sure you followed the OSX directions properly?
I can't really help past this :/
@Gamechievements Just follow the PC or OSX directions in the main post for installation
@Gamechievements sigh... I guess probably whenever I get to officially releasing the version with the scale tool, though I wanted a more complete version before releasing on Steam, I've been pretty busy with other stuff, and it seems like getting much more done is going to take a while at this point :/
Just in case you didn't know, you can still manually install the PC/OSX version on your Steam build of the game.
@HellFireKoder OK thanks!
@JMicah4 "Android SDK", unless you plan on making Android apps in the future, don't bother with Android Studio, scroll down to "Get Just The Command Line Tools", and pick the installer or zip file... installer recommended.
Umm where are the android tools found, I can't find them.
@Cjredwards
Well that's great! Lol
Everything but iOS I'm pretty sure lol! @Supercraft888
@Cjredwards
Is it for IOS too?
Thanks, much appreciated! @HellFireKoder
@SpiritusRaptor OSX uses the same file as PC, so the "PC download" that I listed here should work :)
@Supercraft888 This is the fine tuner mod, it helps out with rotation of blocks.
Hi, is there an update for OSX by any chance? @HellFireKoder
@MasterManufacturingCo I don't think I understand, what exactly happens, and when?
@AeroMobilFlyingCar I looked into it, and I found the path I listed is only for the more recent versions of OSX, for older versions it should be
/Users/NAME/Library/Containers/com.jundroo.SimplePlanesOSX/Data/Library/Application Support/com.jundroo.SimplePlanesOSX/Mods
Edit: ugh, it gets cut off... well, I added it to the main post, so get it from there I guess.
It doesn't have results when i search it! On my mac HELP
Sounds good brother! I'm following you to be sure to get that next mod haha!@HellFireKoder
@Cjredwards I've done a version that does scale... I should release that XD.
As for input... erm... it's not in the plans, but... maybe...
Hey you seem good with mods! You think you could make a mod similar to this except you input sizes and part inputs so you don't have to xml mod? Then it will be a 100% fine tuner haha!@HellFireKoder
@HellFireKoder i download the update now and .... ITS AWEASOME it works really good at the moment i didnt found any bugs thanks for this (^^)//
Nice.
Its alive Thank you this mod is awesome
@inspectregaben I actually thought about that... I probably won't, especially since Steam will handle updates for PC and OSX... but, for non-steam (like Android and Mac store, or anything else), it's certainly a nice idea... IDK
@HellFireKoder hey Koder!, i was thinking can you make this mod check for updates?
@HellFireKoder ok
@WalrusManufacturingCO Write it down, I'm not an alarm, scheduler, or RemindMeBot of reddit.
@HellFireKoder tag me later, k? (Tomorrow)
@Redlord Thanks, good to hear :)
@WalrusManufacturingCO yeah, though it's not officially released yet, you can try it here
@HellFireKoder did u update it?
@fordzilla yeah, delete the .spmod file... from the directory that the original post above said to put the file in, under the installation instructions.
@HellFireKoder I did all that... Is there a way to delete the mod?
@fordzilla install the new version, overwrite the old file... and if you've got the scale button then it worked
@hellfirekoder I downloaded the new version, but when I go to mods it says it's still the old version.
It needs dehidral fine tuning for wings, and rise/run for fuselage blocks.
@fordzilla Like.... this version has? ;)
It's not officially released though... hopefully that will happen soon..
Is it possible to add in a scaling feature?
@iFalco In case anyone is reading these comments (and obviously can't see the chat), now that you said just the numbers without the period/dot, it could work, and is definitely worth a shot.
@iFalco how much were you betting, btw? 'cause if you were betting anything I can prove that it wouldn't work.
@iFalco you're wrong, it won't ;)
@iFalco whaaaaaaaat? Nah, I'd never do that!
@HellFireKoder Okay! Thanks!
@Coen1888 You'll need to download the new version :/
@HellFireKoder if you update the mod will you have to download the new version or does it auto update
@Coen1888 Yes, it works in 1.4, and no, it doesn't contain any viruses... but if I was trying to infect your device with a virus, I'd tell you the same thing, so why ask? of course, you can totally take my word for it...
:P
@HellFireKoder does this work in 1.4, and does it contain a virus(s)?
@HellFireKoder It happens with structural blocks, but i haven't tested anymore.
@DdroidGamz What size did you set it to, and what part? That shouldn't happen...
@WhiteHawkIndustries Not sure, I've got a lot of stuff going on irl, and several additional options and features I want to add before release, but I might just give in to releasing a "current" version for now... not sure at all though.
@HellFireKoder when can you release a stable version? so far i had a smooth experience except with opening the menu first time its lags but then is ok
@HellFireKoder Oh so when im trying to resize an object, it disappears
@EliteDrifting6 Apple won't let mod support on iOS.
@DdroidGamz ... of course...
@HellFireKoder Can I report a bug?
@thenight Probably not gonna do that, sorry.
Here are the links for the new version:
PC/Mac download
Android download
Of course, it is still incomplete and still has bugs, but everyone is welcome to use it, just beware of bugs ;)
Hey, can you send me the link to the updated mod?
@HellFireKoder did you update it for 1.4 on mobile
@WalrusAircraft The wheel colliders thing is SimplePlanes, though for some reason it only happens on some designs, so it's hard to put together a proper bug report for the devs... "The wheel colliders mess up sometimes, to reproduce the problem, just... use one of these exact designs, but not this variation, successor or predecessor, because it doesn't happen with them" - that, is not an optimal bug report :P
(it might end up having to do, though, because I can't find anything that decides whether the wheels mess up or not :/)
The car engine does not scale power, that is correct, as I currently only check for scripts of EngineScript subclass, which the car engine is not... I also scale the power with the powerMultiplier, but I haven't even tested if that exists on the engines, yet... if it doesn't, I suppose I'll just scale the HP, which makes sense anyway XD
.
Thanks :)
Just some feedback on your awesome tool. When scaling down my MAZ, the wheel colliders were acting up (causing the truck to hover over the ground). Also, the car engine does not scale in power. I'll keep testing.
@HellFireKoder Ah.
@MechWARRIOR57 I'll be posting when it comes out...
@HellFireKoder well could you tell me when that comes out?
@MechWARRIOR57 That'd be far more complicated than this unfortunately... though I am adding a scale tool, that lets you scale the plane without XML, and I will probably make an option to only scale the selected part, but it functions by using the new "scale" attribute in the stock game, and fuselages not scaled the same don't connect correctly, but if you just make sure they're the same scale it's fine...
@DatWalrus You're on Android, I only updated the mod tools for PC download.
@HellFireKoder I have this without Beta or 1.4
hey could you make a mod for resizing blocks without XML ?@HellFireKoder
@birdsofsteel Haha, thanks :)
Yeah, not quite finished, it's still got some bugs, though I've fixed most of them now on PC, I'll hopefully be pushing the bug fixes to mobile when mobile officially gets the 1.4 update, and then I could probably call it 1.0 :D
Both mods was cool. The fine tuner mod isn't finsich i thought it is finished it is a really helpful mod on mobile i really use it@HellFireKoder
@birdsofsteel LOL... which one was your favorite? The one that deleted the mod when you entered the "map"? Or the floating sphere in the middle of nowhere?
Anyway, maybe some day, but right now I'm really busy with real life, and in my modding time I'd like to "finish" this mod (fine tuner), and get MP to a state ready for public-consumption :P
@traindude48 Well I'm clueless then, maybe you got a bug, sorry :(
(device shouldn't matter that much as long as it's Android, and not really old, but again I'm not sure :/)
Can you make new map mods because you make cool maps ;) @HellFireKoder
@HellFireKoder Figures it would be complicated.. thank you again for making this mod.
@BoxGlow great to hear, thanks :)
Uh, yeah, but it's mostly been bug fixes, no new features.
Unfortunately, though I might be wrong, I think rotating a whole subassembly would be far more complicated, sorry :/
This mod is fantastic! Before, modifying postion and rotation is extremely PITA. Thank you for this.
.
Are you still developing this mod? If you are, can you possibly add rotation for an entire sub-assembly?
@traindude48 idk if it matters, but is it capitalized? also, make sure you have the right mod file, and put it in the
Mods
folder (with capital 'M' just like that).yes it did @HellFireKoder
@Manatee Well then idk why it doesn't work :/
Does the backup work at least?
i have the beta @HellFireKoder
Thanks! @HellFireKoder
@Manatee uh... do you have the steam beta? IDK if Mac steam has the beta? Anyway, I think I broke the PC download for anything older than the 1.4 beta, sorry about that, here's a backup that I think works without the beta
i can't get it to work on mac@HellFireKoder
@TehDuck Probably shortly after the Steam beta is over and officially released, as I made bug fixes but I updated to the latest mod tools, which don't seem to work on older versions of the game.
When are you putting this on the workshop?
@Luke92778 Like I said, maybe it's a hidden folder, google around and see how to show hidden folders on Mac?
I don't have a Mac, so I can't test.
@Luke92778 enable viewing of hidden folders? I don't have Mac, so I can't test, but it seems to be there for some people and not for others, so I assume it's hidden folders like one Windows, but I don't know :/
OK nvm got it
@HellFireKoder ya that's Wuts wrong then I can't get the folder up or anything
@CreeperProGaming I hope so, since I used ES on my kindle fire HDX, through the amazon app store...
@HellFireKoder dose it work on amizon stuff?
@CreeperProGaming I use ES File Explorer, but I hear Astro is good too, just use whatever works for you.
@HellFireKoder do u have a file explorer to recommended?
Thanks! Now I can make pretty planes on mobile!
It's cool
This will be very helpfull
@HellFireKoder, darn. Well that's kind of disappointing. But thanks none the less.
@TheDerpyDude No, because the size isn't stored in the XML for anything but already resizable blocks.
@hellfirekoder can I rotate an entire sub assembly instead of all the pieces one by one?
Do you think you could make a mod that allows you to resize any blocks. It would be amazing to be able to resize rotators and make the decimal smaller on fuselage blocks.
So, uh...
Steam Version Beta please?
Wow...
Devs and mods, please make @HellFireKoder a special rank for how freakin awesome he is. Now.
Thanks,
:p
@BaconAircrafts Well on Windows it's a hidden item, so just try enabling hidden items.
That folder isn't the games application folder, it's the folder where the game data is stored, which would make sense to hide because you could cheat with it in some games.
@HellFireKoder It does, lots of them. Especially folders that apple doesn't want you to touch or tamper with. But the thing is, its a game, application, but yet it isnt even showing up on application support!
@BaconAircrafts IDK if Mac has "hidden items", but if it does maybe set the file browser to show hidden items/folders?
@HellFireKoder It seems like 'unity.Jundroo.SimplePlanes' is the problem, it simply just cant even detect it!
@BaconAircrafts "/Mods" could be an issue? but it doesn't look like the folder is there... I don't know, as I said I don't have a Mac, so I can't do much to help, sorry :(
@HellFireKoder Here's my problem
@HellFireKoder hmm... trying.
@BaconAircrafts I don't have a Mac, but surely you could browse through the folder "tree" manually?
@HellFireKoder How do I locate the folder on mac? Finder > goto folder doesnt seem to work...
@ThunderscreechEngineering Mirroring isn't the mod, that's SimplePlanes, completely... sorry :/
@Skua @HellFireKoder I got it to work with Chrome. It is a really good mod, but one thing: can you add more compatibility with mirroring?
@ThunderscreechEngineering which browser are you using to try to download it?
@HellFireKoder And when I try to open it in Dropbox, it says "Please download an app that can open this file."
@HellFireKoder Whenever I click the link it tells me to download the Dropbox app.
@Frant24 "sometimes"? I haven't gotten the problem, and unless there's a specific case it happens in, I don't know what to do about it.
Android or PC? And if you close the menu does it fix it?
Do you take mod requests? I have an idea for one but I'm not sure it's possible. But worth a try.
Thank you so much for making this, this really makes things easier to do.
@ThunderscreechEngineering No, just click the link, and click download...
@HellFireKoder Do I have to download the Dropbox app to get it to work?
@HellFireKoder lol
Please help me
@ThunderscreechEngineering really? how'd you do that? :p
I see there is an Android version...
I was wondering when someone would do something like this :)
Well, looks like you beat me to it. Congrats, hope it works out, and I need to get back to work on the CFA-44, so... Yeah. Also don't have unity up and running, so I couldn't make it even if I wanted to.
This is so useful! I will use this as soon as my phone gets fixed
@letsgofast11 YAY! :)
@HellFireKoder IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@letsgofast11 it should, try it.
does it work on windows Vista ?
@kikasshes That looks great, I'm glad to help :)
This mod helped me tremendously when building this
@HellFireKoder ok I understand. This is a great mod and I'm willing to sit through these annoyances. Thank you. And fumbling with the stock rotations works! Thanks again!
@TheDerpyDude, @MaleticAirplanes told me that it happens without the mod sometimes, and isn't the mods fault, the camera gets laggy, and since it's stock SP I can't fix it, sorry :/
what this mod has a chance of doing is adding to the lag a little bit and pushing it over the edge, but due to how the mod works I can't stop that either :(
@TheDerpyDude The mirroring problem happens in stock SP, just subtract 180 from the rotation, or hit the stock rotate buttons twice or something.
The glitch with the camera, could you try to describe it a bit better? Now you're saying it happens all the time again?
And the glitch with my camera, I've noticed more of it. It happens when ever I edit any block with it. So I have to leave the editor and go back to fix it.
@HellFireKoder so I've noticed another bug. When mirroring wings, it only mirrors the rotation. And it doesn't convert it from clockwise to counter clockwise and vise versa. Have you noticed this?
@TheDerpyDude no problem, thanks for reporting back on it.
@HellFireKoder I'm sorry to bother you it was a glitch with in simpleplanes itself. So far it has fixed itself. Thank you for your time. I will notify you if I ever find any more bugs worth your concern.
@TheDerpyDude The main button to bring up the GUI?
I'll do more testing, but on my kindle fire there wasn't such a problem, and if I can't find the problem I probably won't be able to fix it... does it always happen?
if there's any more details at all, I'd like to hear them, but if not, I'm sorry...
I hope I can find the bug on my device :/
I have a pretty annoying bug to report. Everytime I press the button and it instantly jolts my camera to the center of the creation pad. I hope you can fix this because it makes it alot harder to fine tune a plane. Thank you.
Oh my GOD thank you. I've been looking for something like this for ever! My S6 cooperated so well I only pressed 3 buttons! And it opened simple planes automatically. THANK YOU!
@Waemoth yes. They should add an Editor Refresh Button so its not so annoying
@Mitis use XML and subtract 180 from any rotation depending on wich axis you did
@HellFireKoder Thanks hope it helps! I'll try another method in the meantime. I may just have to build subs by them selves and import them back into the main build. Good Luck! still an awesome mod!!!
@MrVaultech Haha, thanks =D
HellFireKoder, you are the best. This is exactly what I've been needing for months!
@SpiritusRaptor Awesome, thanks!
@HellFireKoder Yes, exactly like PC... and this is a steam version on OSX as well.
@SpiritusRaptor Do you install it on OSX by downloading the
.spmod
and moving it there then? Like PC directions but with the different path?Thanks, I'll add it to the main post :)
OSX file path:
ROOT:/Users/[UserName]/Library/Application Support/unity.Jundroo.SimplePlanes/Mods/
@SpiritusRaptor Thanks!
@MoterKade Thanks, I've replied on reddit and I'm trying to figure out how to solve problem (though it also appears in the base game with XML editing rotations...).
You are champion!!! totally amazing work! Les and less xml work - YAY!
@HellFireKoder Sent you the link to your Reddit PM.
I thought so. It will be very ultra super if this mod will already in the game. I mean that it will basic feature. @HellFireKoder
@Nef680 you can't mod on iOS because of Apple's policy, sorry.
whether it be on the iOS?
@ArtisticFailure I know that you can XML edit on Android, it's just so inconvenient, and takes the fun out of building for me. On PC on the other hand, it's much more doable.
@MoterKade Update: the problem is called a "gimbal lock", and until/unless I fix it, you can "fix" it by resetting rotations to 0 and then re-rotating them... and if you need to also rotate it around Y and Z axes as well as X, try to avoid X rotation of 270, because that seems to cause a gimbal lock and you'll need to reset the rotations :/
@MoterKade I got another report of that bug, but no known way to reliably reproduce it, so if you're airplane does reliably reproduce it you could upload it unlisted and PM me on reddit (same username, HellFireKoder), and please give instructions on how to cause it?
Though I'm not sure I can fix it as I don't properly understand what I suspect it is, but I'll look into it and try to figure it out if I can :)
Edit: if you don't want to even do unlisted you could upload the airplane .xml file to dropbox and PM me the link to that instead.
@Waemoth you can xml on android
@MoterKade email him the xml
@Mitis no, not without a newer version. Mirroring just copies and pastes, but doesnt change rotation. Just invert the rotation and itll work
@HellFireKoder Think I might have found a possible bug. Y axis and Z axis will rotate on the same axis as inrelation to the designer room not the part. Parts will rotate but but not how I believe you had intended. Is there a way I can send you my build for you to test with, with out actually posting it? The build is another special one that I dont wanna spoil it :)
And maybe you can make part size fine tuning mod?
Thanks,this mod very useful
@AeroEngineering I was just doing testing....
@DarkLithium if youre gonna move it more than ten, wouldnt it be easier to drag it manually?
BUG
If you move something by more than 10 or so, it will require you to reselect it or it won't move but the mod says it does...
@nathanmikeska I forgot to add this #nerd
@nathanmikeska You should get Andrew to integrate something like this, and will you ever stream again?
I'm hoping for a mod that allows custom fuselage lengths now, and the ability to remove connection points and add them...
@TheLatentImage Thank you =D
@nathanmikeska Thanks! About the decimal input, I didn't even think of that! Makes sense, I'll try it :)
And the backspace... for some reason I thought those were read only? Well if that works that's awesome, thanks!
(not to mention I can wreak havoc controlling player inputs :p)
Hellfire... stellar work here my friend.
Fantastic job man! I've been hoping to see some mods like this. Keep up the good work!
Couple things to maybe consider.. I suspect the issue with typing the decimal point may be related to resetting the text field to the parsed float value. You might have better luck not setting it in the text changed event. And regarding the part deletion issue... you might try, whenever an input field receives focus, setting the service provider's GameInputs.DeletePart.Enabled flag to false. That should prevent the input from actually deleting parts. Just be sure to re-enable it when your input fields lose focus!
@Waemoth yes great idea... resizing button.
Tis is epic, man. Must be integrated in the official editor
Damn need drop box
@HellFireKoder Yeah, I know how to XML edit on Android, however it's just so timeconsuming that I never really build anything unless I'm on PC anymore.
@Waemoth I will probably look into it eventually, but I don't know if I'll actually pull it off.
That said, Android users can XML edit just like PC users, you just need to go to
Android/data/com.jundroo.SimplePlanes/files/AircrafDesigns
and open up a a plane xml file in a text editor. (PC does have better faster tools for it, but that goes for pretty much anything)This is amazing, by far the post that has made me the happiest. Could I make a request? Add another reshaping option, so you could set blocks to for an example 1.9 in width. That way Android users would no longer really be at a disadvantage (well except for not being able to handle very detailed planes).
@ValtsuAircraftIndustries see here
@HellFireKoder sweet thx, love the work you've done. probably going to use this a lot, cus im lazy and don't want to go back and forth between SP and it's designated xml file. That's why i suggested fuselage size. But you can only do so much i understand. Keep up the good work.
@mufasa6896 Fuselages start to act funny when bigger than 5, and I couldn't change it so that the stock GUI could make it bigger... I'm not sure about making a fine-tuner for size of fuselages, it's needed but would probably be harder than this, I'll probably look into it eventually, but it might not happen.
Oops! I meant to put that in the main post, since SP gobbles up any keyboard input that it has bound to something, you can't use the keys it has bound, so I recommend that you go into the controls configuration and in "designer" remove the "backspace" from the delete part input, as well as changing the "next weapon" input (in the "flight" tab) to something other than the period/dot so that you can type in custom decimal numbers too.
@HellFireKoder also, how do you backspace/ delete a number without deleting the object
@HellFireKoder is it possible to add a size configure, ie when you are configing a fuselage so that you can go higher than 5
MOTHER OF GOD THIS IS A STROKE OF GENIUS JUNDROO PLS ADD THIS FOR REAL OR HIRE THIS DUDE
@ValtsuAircraftIndustries it's a folder (or rather, a folder path), you get there with a file browser...
@MrMecha You're welcome! Thanks for the comment =D
@TehDuck the stock Windows file browser, but somewhere there will probably be a settings in the downloadable app as well (most good file browsers have the option, but IDK if the app does).
Is that a downloadable app or the stock finder on Windows? @HellFireKoder
@HellFireKoder This just opened the world of simple planes for me as modding in not a skill I am very good at!!!!
@TehDuck fill in [YourUsername] with your username on the PC, and in the file explorer click on "view" tab and make sure that "show hidden" is checked, because AppData may be a hidden folder.
How do I find this ? C:\Users[YourUsername]\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\Mods
@Thehtmguy Great to hear =D
@MoterKade You're welcome :)
So useful!
The buttons could be a little bigger on android
Omg!!! thank you!!!!
@Noman0rumeral try copying the file and then pasting it into the folder maybe? I use ES File Explorer, maybe try a different file browser if it keeps saying that?
@HellFireKoder ah. That's so cool!
@BaconEggs Kind of, but it doesn't have "handles" just a flat GUI, it looks like this
And that GUI controls all of it.
I am considering adding handles, but it could be a huge pain to deal with, so I'm not sure about it.
@HellFireKoder I haven't figured out how to send screenshots to the site but the problem occurs when i try to move the file to
SimplePlanes/files/mods
then it says "Action not supported"but really its ok i don't mind modding by hand
EDIT-ON i forgot to say im on Android
Is it like offset and rotate tools from KSP? If so, this is a MUST!
@Noman0rumeral PC or Android? and exactly when does it say that? when you try to enable it or what?
If you're on PC (or have a bluetooth keyboard with the backtick key for Android) and it's when you try to enable it, please go into SP, hit backtick key to open console, then try to enable the mod, and then after it fails open the console again and click on any errors and screenshot them for me, please?
if you can't do that... there's a log file somewhere on PC, but IDK about Android :(
;_; it says action not supported
WHY!
Okay. Thanks!
@SteadfastContracting In the box with the number, you can type in a specific number, for stuff you need any real precision on... I could make the slider go slower, but it'd need to be really just ridiculously slow to give proper precision, so I think of it more as a slider for any less precise needs, and getting a general idea of where you want the rotation to be, then you can fine tune it with the numbers.
Well I have one suggestion. If it's possible, make the sliders move a bit slower as they currently move too fast to give very precise results.
@SteadfastContracting You're welcome, be sure to leave me some feedback please, after you've used it a while of course :)
Thanks a lot! This will help a ton.
@UnstableOrbit jeez, dont gotta be that harsh
@Manboy2 How about NOT posting this in random topics because nobody responded to your forum post, and making it yourself?
Off topic, could someone make a very thin star thats small?
Woohoo! @HellFireKoder
@JacobHardy64 Yes, yes you can! :)
With this mod, can you use it and post the plane without needing a mod?
Great work, this will really help with building complex designs and come in very useful while I'm testing SimpleWarships!
@HellFireKoder pop I see what I did wrong. Thanks for being patient and understanding.
@GINGER01 no, you didn't. delete the
.spmod
file you have and download the.spmod-android
from the LINK IN THE ANDROID DIRECTIONS.U should make a Cydia tweak for mods!
#SavedForLater
@HellFireKoder that is what I was reading off of. It didn't show up in the mod section in the game.
@GINGER01 user the link in the "Android" instructions, they're not the same link as in PC section :/
@HellFireKoder when I downloaded the file the title was FineTuner.spmod with no. -android after the .spmod unlike then other mods I have in that folder.
HF your a genius
@HellFireKoder Type in values might be a feature in the next update though, so save yourself from the work until we know for sure :D
@kikasshes Thanks! I will probably look into that... eventually... but I don't know how easy it would be compared to this, or how well it would perform with (estimating here) 2-4 times as much reflection (reflection is a relatively-slow thing I use to access stock SP data that's not exposed in the mod tools)
@HellFireKoder wow thanks. I asked because I head slot about keyboards needed to do certain things on Android.
Wonderful mod! Now we just need to be able to type in values for the fuselage block sizes
@GINGER01 No it's got a nice pretty GUI.
You can use this GUI for all the features, though a keyboard would make manually entering numbers faster, you don't need to manually enter numbers and you can still do it anyway :)
@HellFireKoder for android do you have to have anything extra like a keyboard to use this mod?
@HellFireKoder and that reminds me, I just recently figured out, if you hold ctrl while nudging, it increases the distance a bit
@Flightsonic it works the same, and ignores my nudge increment, which I rather enjoy that way I can use this for tiny amounts (fine tuning :p), and normal nudge for larger distances (or this for huge distances XD).
Oh and I can't believe I forgot this in the post originally, big thanks to @Skua for the awesome icon for the tool button!
@HellFireKoder and (I know I'm full of questions) does regular nudge work the same or work with this?
@Flightsonic it's not just mobile, it happens on PC as well, and I've got no clue why, but yeah it's not usually a big problem.
@Flightsonic that's what I was doing for it. Either that or set the increment to half of what you actually want. It's still present on PC.
@deusalgor @Skua Oh, yeah... I do want to make one for fuselage and maybe wings as well, but I'm not sure how easy that will be in comparison, or how well it would perform as it would need about 2-4 times as much reflection...
No promises but I will probably look into it, eventually.
@HellFireKoder fuselages. There is many sitations when we need fuselage blocks or cones smaller then 0.5 or longer/wider then 5 units. Or some specific sizes like 2.3, 1.2.
@Skua ah, just click it twice, then back where I need it, and is that just for mobile?
@Flightsonic yes, it is
@HellFireKoder I think deusalgor means something that lets you edit the size of wings and fuselage parts in a similar manner to this mod
Yuuuuus!
@Flightsonic that one is a known bug that happens with the first move in any given direction
@deusalgor I'm not sure what you mean by that? manual resize of what?
Thanks for trying it and giving feedback!
Awesome!
It would be great if you can add there manual resize, but even now it is very helpful.
Thanks alot for making it.
This mod is great, and also I'm wondering, I'm not at my PC right now, but is the nudge function on there too?
Just wondering, is it my phone lagging that makes it seem to jump double the increments, or is it a bug
@AeroEngineering nvm got it working
@AeroEngineering LOL... no actually that's not really funny after the gyro cockpits mod release -_-
XD
@TehDuck I don't have OSX but from my understanding OSX can use the PC mod file if you do it through Steam. (sorry I can't give directions :/)
umm, I cant get it to show up. Help?
;)
Can it be used with OSX?
@Flightsonic thanks! Hope you enjoy the mod!
Congrats on silver by the way
Yay!
