General Question rotating dockingports

[spacemonkey81]

i found this information in an old forum:

Actual configuration:
; === Docking ports ===
BEGIN_DOCKLIST
0.22 0 3.77 0 0 1 0 -1 0 "port 1"
0.22 0 -3.77 0 0 -1 0 -1 0 "port 2"
END_DOCKLIST

If you want rotate the modume on the port 1 you must change this line by:
0.22 0 3.77 0 0 1 0 -1 0 default config=0°
0.22 0 3.77 0 0 1 0 1 0 rotation 180° 
0.22 0 3.77 0 0 1 1 0 0 rotation 90°
0.22 0 3.77 0 0 1 -1 0 0 rotation 270°

so i changed this:

; === Configuration file for vessel class SD_st_module_3 ===
ClassName = SD_st_module_3
Module = SDmodule3

; === Docking ports ===
BEGIN_DOCKLIST
0 -0.9 3.15      0 0  1   0 1 0  588
-1.5 -0.9 0      -1 0 0   0 1 0  588
1.5 -0.9 0       1 0 0   0 1 0  588
END_DOCKLIST

; === Attachment points ===
BEGIN_ATTACHMENT
P 0 -1.65 0  0 -1 0  0 0 1  XS
P 0 0.15 0  0 -1 0  0 0 1  XS
END_ATTACHMENT

into this:

; === Configuration file for vessel class SD_st_module_3 ===
ClassName = SD_st_module_3
Module = SDmodule3

; === Docking ports ===
BEGIN_DOCKLIST
0 -0.9 3.15      0 0  1   1 0 0  588
-1.5 -0.9 0      -1 0 0   -1 0 0  588
1.5 -0.9 0       1 0 0   0 1 0  588
END_DOCKLIST

; === Attachment points ===
BEGIN_ATTACHMENT
P 0 -1.65 0  0 -1 0  0 0 1  XS
P 0 0.15 0  0 -1 0  0 0 1  XS
END_ATTACHMENT

but its not working...what am i doing wrong? also confusing is that this module has 4 docking ports but only 3 lines of code in the docklist...whats that about? hope somebody knows:tiphat:

hey...thanks, ive been searching for information for a couple of days now, but somehow i didnt come across that thread, ill try it out:tiphat:


oke been trying a lot of different variables, and i got docking port 2 to do do what i want, that needed to be -100...but i cant get docking port 1 to cooperate cause it doesnt seem to have its own line of code...the other two lines are ports 3 and 4, i figured out that much...do you know what the deal is with this apperantly missing line of code? all 4 ports are operational, but only 3 have a line of code to mess around with....:sos:
