Help modding VAB Part limit to accomodate needs using MM

[Sovek]

Ok, total newb to using custom MM Configs. I found out how RP-0 has used MM to change the VAB/SPH part limit and action groups for various tiers, but its such a mess I dont know how to change JUST that. It looks like CustomBarnKit is required, but I'm afraid installing it will cause my difficulty settings to go screwy and back to default.

Some help would be nice.

Custom Barn Kit will not change the difficulty settings of your current save, it'll only change how various unlocks are checked.

Install CBK, copy the RP-0 config file, remove the :FOR[RP-0], and remove all the lines except those which change what you want.

[Sovek]

Problem is its so convoluted I can't tell what is for what....

[NathanKell]

https://github.com/KSP-RO/RP-0/blob/master/GameData/RP-0/CustomBarnKit.cfg#L20

That sets the part count limits to -1 (unlimited) for all three tiers.

Ok, vertical helps alot better.

I think I have something that should work.... lemme know what you think

@CUSTOMBARNKIT
{
	@EDITOR
	{
		// costs
		@VABUpgrades = 30000, 200000, 1000000
		@SPHUpgrades = 30000, 200000, 1000000
		@launchPadUpgrades = 19000, 75000, 536000
		@runwayUpgrades = 19000, 35000, 282000

		@actionGroupsCustomUnlock = 0
		@actionGroupsStockUnlock = 0
		@craftMassLimit = 25, 100, -1
		@craftSizeLimit
		{
			@size,0 = 15, 20, 15

			@size,1 = 28, 36, 28

			@size,2 = -1, -1, -1
		}
		@partCountLimit = 50, 100, -1
	}
	@MISSION
	{
		@upgrades = 19000, 30000, 282000 // dunno what to do here

		@activeContractsLimit = 3, 7, -1
		@reputationKerbalDeath = 100
	    @reputationKerbalRecovery = 1 	    
	}

I'm unclear--are you using RP-0, and want part limits?

Or are you playing regular KSP, and only want to change the part limits?

[Sovek]

Regular KSP. Trying to change the silly part limit/action groups, but without completely removing the need for upgrading the VAB/SPH.

[NathanKell]

Then you most certainly don't want all that. As I was implying, you only want that single line to change the part limits, and then the action group thing.

i.e.

@CUSTOMBARNKIT
{
	@EDITOR
	{
		@actionGroupsCustomUnlock = 0
		@actionGroupsStockUnlock = 0
		@partCountLimit = 50, 100, -1
	}
}

Unless you do want to make other changes, of course.

[Sovek]

The above code is the changes I want.

So yes, its good. Thanks.

The final product.

@CUSTOMBARNKIT
{
	@EDITOR
	{
		// costs
		@VABUpgrades = 30000, 200000, 800000
		@SPHUpgrades = 30000, 200000, 800000
		@launchPadUpgrades = 19000, 75000, 536000
		@runwayUpgrades = 19000, 35000, 282000

		@actionGroupsCustomUnlock = 0
		@actionGroupsStockUnlock = 0
		@craftMassLimit = 25, 100, -1
		@craftSizeLimit
		{
			@size,0 = 15, 20, 15

			@size,1 = 28, 36, 28

			@size,2 = -1, -1, -1
		}
		@partCountLimit = 50, 100, -1
	}
	@MISSION
	{
		@upgrades = 19000, 30000, 282000 // dunno what to do here

		@activeContractsLimit = 3, 7, -1
		@reputationKerbalDeath = 100
	    @reputationKerbalRecovery = 1 
	}
	@RESEARCH
	{
		@upgrades = 113000, 250000, 1200000	
	}    
	}
