PartModule Upgrades example (cost and some module)

[flart]

Is any mod using stock PartModule Upgrades for upgrade part's cost AND some module (for example SAS) 

I've seen modders notes, but I need some real example to see how it looks like in the game

Just noticed, it should be in the \Plugin Development Help and Support\ subfolder.

Porkjet's overhauls have some upgrades implemented, if you can find those they might be a good example.

I already figured out module upgrade, but still need example with cost and module upgrade.

What does ExclusiveWith__  stand for?

Spoiler

UPGRADE
{
  name__ = LVT-Turbopump-advR
  description__ = Thrust now 30kN.
  ExclusiveWith__ = thrust
  maxThrust = 30
}
UPGRADE
{
  name__ = LVT-GasGen-propSys
  description__ = Isp now 330/120.
  ExclusiveWith__ = isp
  atmosphereCurve
  {
    key = 0 330
    key = 1 120
    key = 1.5 0.001
  }
}

ok, I see

Quote

UPGRADE nodes can now have ExclusiveWith__ = [some string]
This means you can chain upgrades. Only the last found upgrade of the given string is applied.

"last found upgrade" by the tech node columns or in the user's purchase order? And how competitive (ex. SASServiceLevel = 1 vs SASServiceLevel = 2) fields work without ExclusiveWith__ ?

After some time, I have in the tech tree:

there "KAL9000 successfully ... " is the upgrade description from PARTUPGRADE { description = ... }
where I can put talkative kerbal-ish description, about all parts and modules corresponding to this  PARTUPGRADE {}.
also there is SAS-description, and cost-description (+200 cost) from  UPGRADE {description__ = ... }
     where I can put strings about SAS-update and cost-update. 
Better would be make it 2 different module-info in GUI: about SAS and about cost. Is it possible?

 

And it is in the VAB after first upgrade (out of 3)

It shows **Upgrades applied**, but 2 updates still isn't applied
It shows talkative description from PARTUPGRADE ("KAL9000 successfully ... ")  instead of more short one in the PartStatsUpgradeModule (+200 cost)
SAS works ok.

Unfortunately I wouldn't say I have enough of a grasp of how the system works to describe all of that very accurately.  I'd recommend playing around with some highly distinguishable values to figure out what's going where.  If you can narrow down questions about what's going into what specific field, I might be able to help with some investigation, but there's really no definitive resource on how all of this works other than trying it out.

There's more info here..

if you ask specific questions I can give you specific answers.

  • Can I split the module info card in the left panel about SAS + Part Stat Upgrade (virtual upgrade part at tech tree) into 2 different cards: SAS and Part Stat Upgrade?
  • Can I change "Part Stat Upgrade" string to "Cost" ?

  • I would like to see counter about upgrades: something like **Upgrade applied (1/3)** instead of the incomprehensible  **Upgrade applied**
  • How to make the first module info card about Part Stat Upgrade to show PartStatsUpgradeModule {  UPGRADE {description__ = ... }} instead of PARTUPGRADE { description = ...} or don't show  this module info?  showUpgradesInModuleInfo=false doesn't work
