[1.8.x-1.12.x] Module Manager 4.2.3 (July 03th 2023) - Fireworks season

[linuxgurugamer]

It's a bug with MJ, not MM.

OK, thanks.

I just didn't know if there was something different which might have affected MM.

I'll move over to the MJ thread.

Can someone help me with this? I'm trying to figure out why this isn't removing what I want it to remove (smoke trails).

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[EFFECTS]]
{
@EFFECTS
{
	@running_closed
	{
		-PREFAB_PARTICLE
		{
		}
	}
}
}

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[EFFECTS]]
{
@EFFECTS
{

	@running_open
	{
		-PREFAB_PARTICLE
		{
		}
	}
}
}

The laptop I play chugs heavily when the smoke effects are present so I'm trying to remove them.

I finally got it to where MM wasn't giving me an error, but it just doesn't find the relevant section and delete it.

[NathanKell]

EFFECTS is a node in its own right, not a MODULE { name = EFFECTS } which is what you've got.

Try

@PART[*}
{
	@EFFECTS
	{
		@running_open
		{
			-PREFAB_PARTICLE
			{
			}
		}
		@running_closed
		{
			-PREFAB_PARTICLE
			{
			}
		}
	}
}

But note this will only work for parts with fx of those names; if something is named running_cruise or smokeTrail or whatever, you still won't be removing it.

Ah gotcha. That makes sense now.

But note this will only work for parts with fx of those names; if something is named running_cruise or smokeTrail or whatever, you still won't be removing it.

I figured that, the first version of the script only had running_open and I thought that might have been the problem. I can expand the script to include whatever effects subsets I need though, now that I know what I'm looking for! Thank you sir!

Ever since I installed module manager in 1.0 I've been having a problem where the camera's focus point moves further away from my ship every 6000 meters in altitude I gain. I tried removing my mods one at a time to see which one was causing this and when I removed module manager it stopped happening. I did some searching and found this thread http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/56481-Focus-Bug-fix where they seem to be having the exact same problem but there was no fix found. I am using the latest version of module manager. Does anyone here know how to fix this?

[sarbian]

The bug was most likely gone when you removed MM because the module of the mod that generated the bug was not added anymore. MM does not run past main menu.

[naidis]

is it 2.6.2 that MM automatically removes developed parts which belong to a removed mod in the tech tree ?

[toadicus]

Has 1.0.1 or 1.0.2 broken variable support? I'm trying to write a patch that adds an EVA Propellant RESOURCE to parts with positive CrewCapacity values, thus:

@PART[*]:HAS[#CrewCapacity[>0]]
{
	RESOURCE
	{
		name = EVA Propellant
		amount = 5
		@amount *= #$/CrewCapacity#
		maxAmount = 5
		@maxAmount = #$/CrewCapacity#
	}
}

However, doing so causes the game to hang during load with the following exception:

FormatException: Unknown char: #

TIA

ShipConstruction.GetPartCosts

At a guess, the problem lies in the fact that EVA Propellant has no unit cost (or density) defined and as such is probably causing a few NaN-esque errors.

RESOURCE_DEFINITION
{
  name = EVA Propellant
  density = 0
  unitCost = 0
  hsp = 3000
  flowMode = NO_FLOW
  transfer = PUMP
  isTweakable = false
}

Could be wrong though, I dunno.

[toadicus]

The problem is I'm bad at reading, and formatted my patch wrong. Fixed patch:

@PART[*]:HAS[#CrewCapacity[>0]]
{
	RESOURCE
	{
		name = EVA Propellant
		amount = 5
		@amount *= #$/CrewCapacity$
		maxAmount = 5
		@maxAmount *= #$/CrewCapacity$
	}
}

Thanks Sarbian!

Hey, this is probably a stupid question but I can't figure out the proper syntax:

I want to make a ModuleManager patch for the USI Alcubierre Warp Drive part. Specifically, I want to add a new node to the tech tree following these specifications:

RDNode
}
	id = ftl
	title = Faster-than-Light Travel
	description = Turns out that folding space itself is much easier than we previously thought! Now our pilots finally have an excuse to say, "Ludicrous speed! GO!".
	cost = 1500
	hideEmpty = False
	nodeName = node9_fasterthanlight
	anyToUnlock = False
	icon = RDicon_science-experimental
	pos = -786,963.9,-1
	scale = 0.6
	Parent
	parentID = experimentalScience
	lineFrom = RIGHT
	lineTo = LEFT
}

In order for this to work with the Alcubierre drive parts, though, I need to modify them to use this new node. Now I could just go in and edit the .cfg files myself, but I figure, well, I need to learn how to make MM patches anyway. So I have this:

@PART[*]:HAS[#Name[USI_WarpDrive]]:Final
{
	TechRequired=ftl
}

@PART[*]:HAS[#Name[USI_WarpDrive_625]]:Final
{
	TechRequired=ftl
}

I have no idea how to format these patches or anything like that. I put both of these things in the same file, which can be found here: http://pastebin.com/n0WCf1a3

This is what you're after. square brackets after the node name (ie. PART) are shorthand for the #HAS[#NAME[]]. Since you want to edit the value if it exists, or add it if it doesn't, you use the % operator

@PART[USI_WarpDrive]:Final
{
    %TechRequired=ftl
}

@PART[USI_WarpDrive_625]:Final
{
    %TechRequired=ftl
}

I changed that, but the node itself isn't appearing in the tech tree. Do I add a % to the "RDNode"?

Thanks for the help, though.

[Gfurst]

Just wondering, while playing my game, a window appeared to rebuild the MM database or something. What is that supposed to mean?

Check your brackets ?

Hello,

How is modded tech tree used here? Has there been an update to mod the tree without going to each part?

Version 2.6.3 Allows the patching of Physics values with a PHYSICSGLOBALS node

Downloads :

ModuleManager.2.6.3.dll

ModuleManager-2.6.3.zip

Let's say you don't like Drag (I heard drag hating is in) then you just have to add a small MM patch in your GameData folder :

@PHYSICSGLOBALS
{
	@dragMultiplier = 0
}

And voilà ! You can fly free of all that annoying drag.

Haha, thats a good one, btw, does anyone now knows if maximum/minimumDrag parameters for parts still applies?

I keep seeing them a lot in mods parts, but its deprecated isn't?

[NathanKell]

Yeah, it does 100% of nothing.

[Starwaster]

Yeah, it does 100% of nothing.

Lemme do the math here...

Hmm, this should work, right?

DEF {
    MODULE {
       name = ModuleName
       id = Foo
    }
}

PART
{
    name = Partname
    #@../DEF/MODULE[ModuleName] {}
    #@../DEF/MODULE[ModuleName] {
        @id = Bar
    }
}

The edit-while-copying part doesn't seem to work :S I end up with two modules with id = Foo

[sarbian]

1) The .. only works inside the same root node. TO get an other root node you use @

2) It does not work inside a new node, only inside one you edit. I don't plan to change that for now since it would me a lot more complex afaik.

the (clearly not optimal) solution :

DEF {
    MODULE {
       name = ModuleName
       id = Foo
    }
}

PART
{
    name = Partname
}

@PART[Partname]
{    
    #@DEF/MODULE[ModuleName] { }
    #@DEF/MODULE[ModuleName] {
        @id = Bar
    }
}

Hey I'm wondering if I can do something here, patch with MM the config file for TACLS.

Currently its built under the GlobalSettings, which I don't think its a node.

GlobalSettings
{
	MaxDeltaTime = 86400
	ElectricityMaxDeltaTime = 1
	FoodResource = Food
	WaterResource = Water
	OxygenResource = Oxygen
	CarbonDioxideResource = CarbonDioxide
	WasteResource = Waste
	WasteWaterResource = WasteWater
	FoodConsumptionRate = 1.6927083333E-05
	WaterConsumptionRate = 1.1188078704E-05
	OxygenConsumptionRate = 0.001713537562385
	ElectricityConsumptionRate = 0.014166666666667
	BaseElectricityConsumptionRate = 0.02125
	EvaElectricityConsumptionRate = 0.00425
	CO2ProductionRate = 0.00148012889876
	WasteProductionRate = 1.539351852E-06
	WasteWaterProductionRate = 1.4247685185E-05
	EvaDefaultResourceAmount = 10800
	MaxTimeWithoutFood = 86400
	MaxTimeWithoutWater = 43200
	MaxTimeWithoutOxygen = 3600
	MaxTimeWithoutElectricity = 10800
}

I haven't seen any mention of it on MM cache. Is it possible?
