Deleting sections of a CFG with MM

[MiscelanousItem]

Basicly the title I want to delete a section of a cfg using a mm patch, how can I do it?

[zer0Kerbal]

which section?

yes you can - just need a '-' or '!' in front of what you want to delete:

example:

@PART[xyzpart]
{
   !MODULE[ModuleAnimateGeneric] {}
}

will delete the first ModuleAnimateGeneric it finds in a part.cfg (or another .cfg)

If there is multiple of the same module, you can delete by index, :HAS, or other

@PART[xyzpart]
{
   !MODULE[ModuleAnimateGeneric],5 {}
  // deletes the 6th (0,1,2,3,4,5)
}

@PART[xyzpart]
{
   !MODULE[ModuleAnimateGeneric],* {}
  // deletes all
}

@PART[xyzpart]
{
   !MODULE[ModuleAnimateGeneric]:HAS[#name[jeb]] {}
  // deletes the ModuleAnimateGeneric that has name = jeb
}

/YMMV/: I wrote these in situ, without testing, from memory, while drinking Jeb's Coffee, while eating Jeb's Scones, while sleep deprived, under deadline, while under enormous deadlines. ie - the syntax might need some work, but the basic premise(s) should be sound.
