PartVariant Guide

Strange, this works, editing the source file to this works, but if I want to change the name to Red, or Duna it flips back to Dark

		VARIANT
		{
			name = Silver
			displayName = #autoLOC_6005005
			themeName = Silver
			primaryColor = #cecece
			TEXTURE
			{
				shader=KSP/Bumped Specular (Mapped)
				mainTextureURL = PATCH_LIB/duna_temple/red
				//mainTextureURL = SquadExpansion/MakingHistory/Parts/Structural/Assets/Panels_Silver_D
				//color = #ffffff
				color = #943828
				_BumpMap=SquadExpansion/MakingHistory/Parts/Structural/Assets/Panels_Gold_NRM
				_SpecMap=SquadExpansion/MakingHistory/Parts/Structural/Assets/Panels_Silver_S
//				_Shininess= 0.35
//				_Opacity= 1.0
//				_RimFalloff= 2.0
//				_AmbientMultiplier= 0.2
			}
		}

Okay, I got this far:

@PART[Panel0|Panel1|Panel1p5|Panel2|Triangle0|Triangle1|Triangle1p5|Triangle2|EquiTriangle0|EquiTriangle1|EquiTriangle1p5|EquiTriangle2]
{
  @MODULE[ModulePartVariants]
  {
    +VARIANT
    {
      name = Duna
      displayName = Duna
      themeName = Duna
      primaryColor = #cc0000
      TEXTURE
      {
          shader=KSP/Bumped Specular (Mapped)
          mainTextureURL = PATCH_LIB/duna_temple/red
          color = #943828
          _BumpMap=SquadExpansion/MakingHistory/Parts/Structural/Assets/Panels_Gold_NRM
          _SpecMap=SquadExpansion/MakingHistory/Parts/Structural/Assets/Panels_Gold_S
      }
    }
  }
}

The panels do show up in the VAB in red but the variant in the slider is still called Dark. As I launch the craft it reverts back to dark grey.... Not sure where I make a mistake. Anyone that can help?

I checked the .craft file there it also lists the selectedVariant as Dark. So why isn't the name of the variant "Duna"

@Electrocutor do you have an idea?

+VARIANT is copy syntax for MM; you just want to use VARIANT if you want to add your own without copying an existing one.

If you start with a copy, you'll need to use the @ syntax for editing an existing property instead (like @name = Duna).

I am an idiot, thanks for pointing that out!
