Adding custom payloads to the XR5 Vanguard

[J_Aerospace]

Hi there i am trying to add more items to the cargo list of the vanguard.

I have downloaded the dragonfly cargo addon plus the shuttle A and they work.
But i have tried adapting the STM solar panel module found at orbiterhanger but i have had no luck here is what i have done.

; === Configuration file for vessel class STM ===
ClassName = STM
Module = Spacecraft3
ImageBmp = Images\Vessels\Default\Dragonfly.bmp
Mass = 11000

;----------------------------------------------------
; XR Payload custom parameters
;----------------------------------------------------

Meshname = STM

XRPayloadEnabled = true

Description = STM

Dimensions = 7.2 5.6 14.8

AttachmentPointIndex = 0

PrimarySlotCenterOfMassOffset = 0 2.8 -2.4

ThumbnailPath = Vessels\Dragonfly_XR5_Thumbnail.bmp

VesselsWithExplicitAttachmentSlotsDefined = XR5Vanguard

XR5Vanguard_ExplicitAttachmentSlots = 3
;----------------------------------------------------

BEGIN_ATTACHMENT
P 0 -2.8 2.4 0 1 0 0 0 1 XRCARGO
END_ATTACHMENT



But when i load it into the payload bay the STM is there it fills the spaces in the hold, But it does not appear in the cargo bay or as a new vessel.

Any help
A little prog for loading any item in orbiter into the cargo bay would be fantastic, it would make building stations or bases alot easier

I think that the little program you'r looking for is Universal Cargo Deck, paired with Universal Cargo Deck Carrier for XR5, both available at orbithangar.
They really make possible to attach anything you want to the XR5 (or any other vessel). And they have a nice documentation.
