Editing Custom Parts list
Warning this is complicated and deals with the games CFG Files.
I take no responsibility for damage done to the game, so back it up. Only works on mods that are currently installed. So don’t remove them and verify part names between updates.
The problem- With all of my installed mods my parts list was getting rather big and time consuming trying to find the specific part that I wanted. I knew that I could create custom categories for parts, but with the amount of parts I have it would take a really long time to do that in game.
My solution- (using Hooligan Labs Airships version 6.2 by jewelshisen as an example)
1st I created a custom part categories for everything that I would want. (i.e. 4 categories; one for air force, one for navy, one for army, and one for airships.)
2nd after closing the game, I found the name for every part (i.e. (….\KerbalSpaceProgram\Gamedata\(mod)\parts\(parts CFG File) – name of part found in part CFG File (usually close to the start, part = example)
3rd I opened the gamedata folder and found the new CFG file found in (…\KerbalSpaceProgram\Gamedata \Squad \Partslist –PartCategories (CFG File))
4th I changed the PartCategories.cfg to the following
CUSTOM_PARTLIST_CATEGORY
{
categoryName = HL Airships
icon = stockIcon_fallback
SUBCATEGORY
{
categoryName = Structure
icon = stockIcon_fallback
PARTS
{
part = ZepBay10mtr
part = ZepMidHull
part = ZepMidHull2mtr
part = ZepR2MotorMount
part = OrbiterBasket
part = DeathStarBattery
part = KerblingOrbiter
part = AirshipPod
part = AirshipGondola5mtr
part = AirshipCap
part = AirshipCore
part = Mountinghub
part = AirshipNoseBase
part = AirshipNoseCap
part = AirshipTailBase
part = AirshipTailCap
part = AirEnabledKASBoatAnchorIV
}
}
SUBCATEGORY
{
categoryName = Aero
icon = stockIcon_fallback
PARTS
{
part = ZepMidNose
part = ZepMidTailCone
part = ZepNoseCone
part = ZepTailCone
part = LedZep
part = ZepTailFin
part = PLift
part = ProtoLiftBody
part = HL_AirshipEnvelope_Una
part = HL_AirshipEnvelope_Ray
part= HL_AirshipEnvelope_Octo
part = Blimp
part = HL_AirshipEnvelopeHecto
part = HL_AirshipEnvelope_Dodec
part = HL_AirshipEnvelope_Cirrus_Real
part = HL_AirshipEnvelope_Cirrus
part = HL_AirshipEnvelope
}
}
}
