KSP: Custom switch is cropped by row height

Studio KRUT

Trying to get into KSP. I have managed to set my custom knobs (aka sliders) but the switches seems to get cropped along a grid. They are png-strips with 6 sprites. The mouse over animation is working, I see the frames aree changing.

But I can't figure out how to allow them to occupy the full height, i.e. not be cropped. Each frame is 68x130px. I tried to set CONTROL_PAR_HEIGHT as I saw in an example on yummybeats, but to no effect.

What am I missing?

script as written in sublime:

A few things to double check:

• in the text file with the same name as the PNG, is the number of animations correct?
• same text file, "Horizontal Animation: no"
• check that the height you are setting with $CONTROL_PAR_HEIGHT (130) is correct. Your PNG would have to be 780px tall. (130x6)
• You are not setting the width and height of the efkt1 switch.

Extra: you probably want to set the text for these buttons as "" (empty)

Or in the text file, a blank tenth line present can improve things sometimes.

Thanks!

I had number of animations at 6 and I had the blank tenth line. Also png was 780 px tall.

I didn't see that I missed setting height and width on efkt1, but I guess the "sw_tuned" would be correct...

What I ended up doing was making all switches horizontal instead. So solved by a compromise for this time.
