Help with a MM patch-Solved

[Svm420]

@name = Jetafterb
@title = AfterB
@MODULE[ModuleEnginesFX]
{
@exhaustDamage = False
@maxThrust = 60
}


}

+Part[RLA_s_highengine]:Final{

I can't get the new part to show up in game. IS there something I am missing for this to work? Any help is appreciated!

Text file is *.cfg?

Maybe a parsing issue with the PART open brace ({) not being on it's own line? (I'm just guessing here, don't know how KSP/MM handles this)

Also, search the MM cache (can be opened in any text editor) and see what the final config actually looks like.

MM is for modifying ConfigNodes, not for adding parts to the game.

Just read the part cfgs of the stock parts to figure out, how to write that. (It's basically MM minus the operators and []-brackets stuff.)

[Svm420]

Nope not the extension and i put the bracket on a new line and still nothing.

@aqua

I am not sure what you mean I have done this exact thing before just not an engine. Are you sure you know what your talking about?

@name = NE_KEES_PC2
@title = KEES Payload Carrier2
@description = The KEES container x2!




%rescaleFactor = 2.0

@mass = .15
!MODULE[KASModuleContainer] {}
MODULE
{
name = KASModuleContainer
maxSize = 300
}
}

 +PART[NE_KEES_PC]{

Wah, I mistook '+' as insert, not as copy. My bad!

What does the log say? MM lists everything it does in there.

[Svm420]

Nothing in my log that ties to that. Hmmm very weird. The engine I am targeting is from RLA i dont get why this isnt working...

Have you tried

+PART[RLA_s_highengine]:Final
{
    @name = Jetafterb
    @title = AfterB

   @MODULE[ModuleEnginesFX] 
{
        %exhaustDamage = False
        %maxThrust = 60
}
}

OR maybe try

+PART[RLA_s_highengine]:Final
{
    @name = Jetafterb
    @title = AfterB

   @MODULE[ModuleEnginesFX] 
{
        @name = ModuleEnginesFX
        %exhaustDamage = False
        %maxThrust = 60
}
}

Is part case sensitive? Your working example has it all in caps

Programming 101: If it's not working at all, it's something small and you always feel silly when you find it (case in point)

MM is for modifying ConfigNodes, not for adding parts to the game.

Universal Storage uses MM to add parts to the game if you have certain other mods - for example only adding TAC storage containers if you have TAC, and KAS storage containers if you have KAS. That way the parts only get loaded if you can use them. It's quite brilliant.

PART:NEEDS[TacLifeSupport]
{
	name = US_Wedge_Food
	module = Part
	author = Paul Kingtiger & Daishi

	mesh = model.mu
	rescaleFactor = 1
        [...]
}

PART:NEEDS[KAS]
{
	name = US_Wedge_KASContainer
	module = Part
	author = Paul Kingtiger & Daishi

	mesh = model.mu
	rescaleFactor = 1
        [...]
}
