MM Patch Help (And some specific questions)

[afyber]

I've played KSP for a year or two now and have really enjoyed all the mods created for it, so I want to get started creating my own.

Clearly the simplest type of mod is a simple MM patch, but I'm not sure where to look for a general guide for programming them. I have been looking at mods I currently have installed to find examples, but there are a few things I couldn't find an example of, specifically:

1. How to remove a stock part with a patch
2. The Difference between "@PART" (and etc.) and "@Squad" (or other mod name)

Have you checked to first two post in the MM thread?

There's quite a lot of help and examples there,

guess that's what I get for not searching around enough, thanks!

this is a better set of helpful comments in a thread:

What do you mean 'remove' (hide or delete)?

@PART is the beginning of most Module Manager patches.

for example

@PART[crewCabin] {}

is the basic patch to do something to a part named crewCabin (which is the Hitchhiker's)

I found the answer to my question in the first linked thread, I was thinking of

!PART[InfraredTelescope]:AFTER[Squad]{}

To hide the sentinel telescope in the part list and tech tree

suggest also deleting the tags (!tags = DELETE) so it won't show in the editor search either.
