ModuleScienceContainer Question

[Tabris]

Hey all,

I've written a Module Manager patch that adds ModuleScienceContainer (i.e the Science Box) to KOS Processor parts.

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[kOSProcessor],!MODULE[KerbalEVA]]:final
{
	%MODULE[ModuleScienceContainer]
	{
		//name = ModuleScienceContainer
		reviewActionName = #autoLOC_502201 //#autoLOC_502201 = Review Stored Data
		storeActionName = #autoLOC_502202 //#autoLOC_502202 = Store Experiments
		evaOnlyStorage = False // i.e. can nearby regular vessels also do this, or EVA only
		capacity = 500
		storageRange = 1.3
		canBeTransferredToInVessel = True
		canTransferInVessel = True
		showStatus = True
		+description ^= :^.*$: Adds a Science Container.
	}
}

however the line capacity = 500 means that it can hold 500 experiment results. i would like it to hold a percentage of the KOS diskspace (eg. if the KOS diskspace is 5000, the experiment space is 500Mits)

also how can i make it so this information shows up in the VAB/SPH right click part info panel

// cannot do more than one MOP per code line (mm limitation)

// first set it to the parts diskSpace
%capacity = #$../kOSProcessor/diskSpace$

// then multiply it by say 10% - not easy to round - so remember that if you want clean numbers
@capacity *= .1

hopefully this helps. There is a way to round - using REGEX - just can't remember how to do it off the top of my head.

 

see Module Manager wiki for more, and its forum thread to ask specific questions.

I just saw that right before you responded.

however, my suggestions are still valid (or should be)

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[kOSProcessor],!MODULE[KerbalEVA]]:final
{
	%MODULE[ModuleScienceContainer]
	{
		//name = ModuleScienceContainer
		reviewActionName = #autoLOC_502201 //#autoLOC_502201 = Review Stored Data
		storeActionName = #autoLOC_502202 //#autoLOC_502202 = Store Experiments
		evaOnlyStorage = False // i.e. can nearby regular vessels also do this, or EVA only
		storageRange = 1.3
		capacity = 30
		canBeTransferredToInVessel = True
		canTransferInVessel = True
		showStatus = True
		+description = :^.*$: Adds a Science Container.
		%capacity = #$../MODULE[kOSProcessor]/diskSpace$
		@capacity *= .1
	}
}

ok, so this works. now to figure out how the translate the Capacity to MITS instead of Experiments.

I knew I was forgetting something - the MODULE[KOSProcessor] - kindly forgive me that.
