This is strange.... But just a question.... How does the UI_CHOOSEOPTION work? How is it defined, and how does one get a function triggered when changing it?

I'm trying to manipulate with AirIntakes, and I need to change the values in the module "ModuleResourceIntake". I have created a new module for IntakeSwitch which have my new values I wish to inject into the "ModuleResourceIntake". I think confignode is the way to go, but I just can't figure out, how the manipulate with specific value/nodes in a specific module. I've tried to outline the structure of a part and my new module. In GTI_IntakeSwitch under resourceNames I have the list of alternative resource I at runtime want to be able to inject into the module ModuleResourceIntake. Node structure PART { name = XXX MODULE { name = ModuleResourceIntake resourceName = IntakeAir checkForOxygen = true ###other values### } MODULE { name = GTI_IntakeSwitch resourceNames = IntakeAir, IntakeAtm ###other target values### } RESOURCE { name = IntakeAir amount = 2 maxAmount = 2 } } I would really like to understand: How do I control which node i work in. Replace a node How to change a value in a node How to read a specific value How the get the changes to take effect So basically how the confignode construct works. I have searched around a lot, but it is just not coming to together for me. I have a node replacement working, but that kind of copy paste, and I don't undertand to inner working of it, otherwise I would guess I had figured this out by now.

Very nice work. I love building space stations, and with KSP 1.1, they might not even bring performance to a crawler.... Look forward to building my next station using these parts

This mod have moved to the released section of the forums Ever wished the stock MultiModeEngine could handle more than 2 modes for engines? GTI Multi Mode Engine does exactly this. The purpose is to introduce an alternative way to switch engine configuration (propellants and other properties). The key source of inspiration comes from InterstellarFuelSwitch by FreeThinker. I find that supplementing it by versatile engines is a great asset. I've added simple intake switching, so intake atm is more attractive, and the days of adding two intake modules to an intake can be over. Pictures Features: GTI MultiModeEngine: Multiengine switch (conceptually what InterstellarFuelSwitch does, just for engines) Select which engine ID to affect Availability (Flight, Editor) Propellants, Ratios, IgnoreForISP, DrawGauge Custom naming of Engine configuration Set Engine Type [LiquidFuel, Nuclear, SolidBooster, Turbine, MonoProp, ScramJet, Electric, Generic, Piston] Thrust Heat production Curves: atmosphereCurve, velCurve, atmCurve Technology needed can be defined (currently not working) Engine Exhaust Effect switches when engine is switched UI Override of individual engine Activate, Shutdown and KSPFields in the right click menu UI_CHOOSEOPTION for switching between engine configurations Next/Previous Action Possibility of 8 Individual actions for engine, i.e. first 8 configurations can be accessed directly through actions (custom button defined in VAB or through AGX) Multi Mode Intakes: Switch intake resources on the fly current resource will be reset to zero (intended) Other setting will remain unchanged for now. Only one intake should be present in any one part. Only the first one is changed. How: (There are no parts added with GTI Utilities, this is intended for use in other mods) List of Atmosphere Curve in the Kerbol system. Very nice when deciding on form of the curves for the engines.

Yep..... Does not work with KSP 1.1 yet.... Hopefully will soon )

Another issue I've run into. Since changing propellant should change ISP (atmCurve and velCurve) as well, I figured I'd replace these as well. So I have these defined in my module as they are defined in the engine module. MODULE { name = EngineClassSwitch //engineID = "NOT IMPLEMENTED" //engineNames = "NOT IMPLEMENTED" propellantNames = LiquidFuel;LiquidFuel,Oxidizer;MonoPropellant propellantRatios = 100;45,55;100 propellantIgnoreForIsp = false;false,false;false //default = false stagingEnabled = false availableInFlight = false availableInEditor = true velCurve { key = 0 1 0 0.08333334 key = 1 0.98 0.42074 0.42074 } atmCurve { key = 0 0 0 0 key = 1 1 7.914787 7.914787 } } The value in the curves are just for testing. Now I need to load them, and I currently do that like this [KSPField] public FloatCurve[] velCurve; [KSPField] public FloatCurve[] atmCurve; I'm not sure that is correct. Next I need to transfer these curves into the engine when I change the propellant. I just can't figure out how to manipulate those curves. I've tried ConfigNode, but they did not seem to update like the propellant. I've tried something like this, but it does NOT work. foreach (var moduleEngine in ModuleEngines) { //moduleEngine.velCurve = velCurve; Debug.LogError("moduleEngine.velCurve.ToString " + moduleEngine.velCurve.ToString()); Debug.LogError("moduleEngine.atmCurve.ToString " + moduleEngine.atmCurve.ToString()); //moduleEngine.velCurve.Curve. int i = 0; foreach(var key in moduleEngine.velCurve.Curve.keys) { Debug.LogError("Key[" + i + "]: " + key.time + " " + key.value + " " + key.inTangent + " " + key.outTangent); i++; } //moduleEngine.velCurve.Curve.AddKey(0, 1, 0, 0); //moduleEngine.atmCurve = atmCurve; ConfigNode newVelCurveNode = new ConfigNode(); ConfigNode Node = newVelCurveNode.AddNode("velCurve"); Node.AddValue("key", "0 1 1 1"); Node.AddValue("key", "0.2 0.98 2 2"); moduleEngine.Load(Node); i = 0; foreach (var key in moduleEngine.velCurve.Curve.keys) { Debug.LogError("Key[" + i + "]: " + key.time + " " + key.value + " " + key.inTangent + " " + key.outTangent); i++; } I hope someone out there can help me figure this thing out....

OK, next issue. When changing the propellants I want to activate drawgauge for the new propellant. Now this happens like this propNode.AddValue("DrawGauge", true); However, KSP does not remove the gauge of past propellants like when using the engineswitch on the rapier. How do I get it to reset the gauges? I've tried this before updating the propellants, but it doesn't have an effect. foreach (var localPropellant in moduleEngine.propellants) { localPropellant.drawStackGauge = false; } If I quicksave and reload, the gauges are perfectly aligned to the propellant setup. So I figure it just a matter of forcing KSP to update the gauges.

Thank you so much. I've used days on the web trying to figure this one out. I'm not home yet, but this was a mayor help!

That's great. And my testing just showed that it does delete the old nodes for propellants at the same tid. It does not save with the game through. So am I forced to load the configuration of the engine each time the module loads?

Makes sense, I've only used wings for monopropellant and liquidfuel for jets. Both ignore normal fuel flow.... That must be why I didn't notice that they do not provide fuel flow for the parent part. Well TAC Fuel Balancer is a great mod for fuel balancing needs

OK... Sorry but I've never used ConfigNode before. So how does it work. How do if declare it correctly and find the node I wish to process, i.e. the part which have my module, and the player have just right clicked in order to do their thing?

Thanks wasml, will try that! EDIT: After testing I can say that PartResourceLibrary.Instance.GetDefinition(string) does give me access to the propellant (resource id), and can be changed. However, I still don't know how to delete existing ones. => I stuck to the amount of propellents there are initially...

I'm working on a mod for engines. One basic function is supposed to be switching the propellant on an engine, like fuelswitch does for fueltanks. It is supposed to function as an alternative to the engine switch like on rapiers. I aim at integrating against tech level, and maybe inflight upgrading by EVA or something. Now, my current issue is, I cannot get the propellant switch to work. I can change the name of the propellant, but that does not change the propellant. A copy of the full C# module in it's current state can be obtained here. I think I need to change the ".id" of the propellant to get the game to recognise the change. If this is what I need to do, then I do not know how to obtain the resource ID's other than through the error logs in KSP. I've tried "PartResourceLibrary.GetDefinition(string)" but I get an error I simply cannot figure out how to fix. --> "An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'PartResourceLibrary.GetDefinition(string)'." I reality I would really like to be able to delete the old propellants and replace them by new ones. Can anyone help?

Does the "Big-S Delta Wing" work for you? Does it do the fuel transfer as expected? I'm asking, because that one is stock, and it seems you remembered to add "@fuelCrossFeed = true" which in theory should do exactly what you want.

WOW... this is something many of us have been waiting on for a long time. Integration with Waypoint Manager would be an excellent addition

wow... amazing..... Simple og rather usefull! Love it.

Great mod! Maybe you could add Module Manager for other docking ports like Universal Docking Ports from KIP Engineering? I made this MM for it

The link still points to version 0.1! However, the file is there, because if I change it, it does download fine Working link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22571912/Eppy_ScienceTransmit_0.4.zip

Is it possible to get the flight computer to stage when running out of fuel?

It must be some compbination of your mods. Plus I noticed that you are running at least two mods, which does not operate under win64. FAR and KJR are blocked from running on win64, like coded into the dll files, and there might be more of those. Try removing the non-win64 enabled mods first.... I can say that the win64 runs fine, but when modding like crazy (which I do too), issues often come from mods not supporting each other... good luck finding the issue.

As I said, it is working as a charm... However, how much does it take to make the option available during flight as well? I just love being able to adjust things even when I'm at Eve and notices some small unbalance

toadicus, Working perfectly

Wow, that looks so nice. Is there a dev version I can get. I would really enjoy testing that baby out! This will make plane building so much more enjoyable

Sounds great! You are the best!

I love this mod. But could I suggest adding tweakability to wing steering surfaces? I often find steering surfaces too agressive or not agressive enough. So being able to adjust these would be of great benefit.
