[Solved] SRB Duplicating MM Config Not Working

[Bottle Rocketeer 500]

Hello, everyone and I made this config, which doesn't work:

Spoiler

+PART[MassiveBooster]:FOR[KerbobulusSpaceProgram]
{
	@name = AdvancedBoosterKLS
	@title = ADVB-KR2 "Helios" Advanced SRB
	@manufacturer = Kerbobulus Corp.
	@description = A more advanced SRB
	@mass = 2.5
	@entryCost = 20000
	@cost = 5000
	@TechRequired = experimentalRocketry

	@MODEL
	{
		texture = nothke-2015_SLS_CDR_textures/Engine/ADVSRBSLS/solid_booster_cm
	}
	
	@MODULE
	{	
		@name = ModuleEnginesFX
		@maxThrust = 1005
	}
	@RESOURCE
	{
		@name = SolidFuel
		@amount = 2080
		@maxAmount = 2080
	}
	!MODULE[ModuleFStextureSwitch2]:AFTER[KerbobulusSpaceProgram] {}
}

Usually you'll get better results if you explain:

• What results you expected, and
• What happened instead

Just saying that something "doesn't work" implies a lot of extra guessing and investigative effort for anyone interested in trying to help.

What I want it to do is to make a copy of the Kickback, replace the texture, change some stats, and delete the firespitter module that I added to the stock one with a config.

Good, that covers:

@HebaruSan What happened is fs texture switch wasn't deleted nor did the texture change

OK, what does that config look like?

[Bottle Rocketeer 500]

@HebaruSanThe config for what?

Edited July 10, 2017 by Bottle Rocketeer 500

[Bottle Rocketeer 500]

@HebaruSan This is my config for the FStextureSwitch2 Module, which works (very well).

Spoiler

@PART[MassiveBooster]:NEEDS[Firespitter]
{
	MODULE
	{
		name = FStextureSwitch2
		moduleID = 4

		objectNames = MassiveSRB

		textureNames = Squad/Parts/Engine/MassiveSRB/solid_booster_cm;nothke-2015_SLS_CDR_textures/Engine/MassiveSRB/solid_booster_cm

		textureDisplayNames = Pre-2015;Post-2015;

		nextButtonText = Next Colour
		prevButtonText = Previous Colour

		statusText = Current Colour
		showPreviousButton = true
		updateSymmetry = true
		showInfo = false
		debugMode = false
		showListButton = false
	}		
}

OK, it looks to me like you're trying to remove the wrong module name. You have:

3 hours ago, Bottle Rocketeer 500 said:

	!MODULE[ModuleFStextureSwitch2]:AFTER[KerbobulusSpaceProgram] {}

... but the actual module is just called:

1 hour ago, Bottle Rocketeer 500 said:

		name = FStextureSwitch2

So, try this instead:

	!MODULE[FStextureSwitch2]:AFTER[KerbobulusSpaceProgram] {}

@HebaruSan What you showed doesn't work, I still have the same problems.

Alright, my next suggestion would be to remove the :AFTER clause:

	!MODULE[FStextureSwitch2] {}

 

[Bottle Rocketeer 500]

@HebaruSan And replace it with what?

@HebaruSan Everything but the new texture works now.

Cool! For the texture, try an '@' symbol on the texture assignment to make it an edit; otherwise I think ModuleManager will leave the old texture value in place and create a new one alongside it:

	@MODEL
	{
		@texture = nothke-2015_SLS_CDR_textures/Engine/ADVSRBSLS/solid_booster_cm
	}

nothke was kinda an early sorcerer (/bow) ^^ i won't be surprised if some of thoose models and/or texture or else include some tricky trick and "to date source code weirdness logical fallacy kind funny non harmfull exploit back in the days" ^^ if i remind well he was that kind of modder loving to highlight some stuff this way

might worth a check dunno ^^

Where did you get the idea that setting "texture = " in the MODEL block would set the texture? Is this provided by some mod? Looking into it now, I can find no evidence that this should work. Squad's cfg files don't do it, Ven's revamp doesn't do it; they just set "mesh" or "model".

It actually does, but the syntax is wrong.  Look at the Kurrikane mod, most of the additional parts do that.  But you need to say what is being replaced in the .mu file

For reference, one of the parts you mentioned:

		texture = model001, Kurrikane/Parts/FuelTank/model001
		texture = model000, Kurrikane/Parts/FuelTank/model000

How do you determine the name before the comma? Do they all start at model000? Is there a tool that parses mu files?

EDIT: I found this:

... but now I'm stranded in the convoluted bizarro UI nightmare that is Blender. Good luck, @Bottle Rocketeer 500, you're not paying me enough to endure that.

If I do learn a 3d modelling application, it will be Blender, for essentially that reason. Still, looking at it gives me a headache.

just pointing that out wait theres a forum bug @Red Iron Crown

Oh, ok, but @nothke's SLS repaint mod does it without, and also, I couldn't find the Kurricane mod anywhere.

Actually, +PART in an MM config duplicates a specified part.

oh

Looks like that mod replaced the stock texture files rather than using ModuleManager patches.
