Is there any way to use the stock icons for symmetry? I rather prefer the stock icons, than the nR, M and MM (even if I loose some extra nR symmetry added by the mod).

No, sorry

Don't worry, your code is well writen and really well commented. I just forked it and changed that part.

Hi guys, I have problem with this mod or rather it's older version but I can't find formu thread for it.

I've reinstalled my KSP 1.1.3 with all the mods I had and Editor Extensions is not working (I can't get n-symetry,etc I used to have). I've noticed that this version might not work with 1.1.3 so I've downloaded EEX 3.2.14 from spacedock but still no joy. Am I missing something? I had no time to read all 28 pages of this thread sadly so forgive me if it's there but I don't know it.

EDIT: I've found solution - on EEX github there is 1.1.3 branch and it worked

New release, 3.3.12:

• Fixed issue where changing the Reroot setting in the settings window wasn't toggling the internal reroot flag
• Changed SelectRoot code from being a separate MonoBehaviour to being a part of the EditorExtensions class
• Updated buildRelease to use local GameData directory for release

Glad you found the solution.

Just so you know, this mod has certain dependencies on the specific KSP version, and checks when starting.  The current version is always for the current version of KSP.  Some versions are able to be used on slightly different versions of KSP (ie: 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.2.2), but again, it needs to be compiled for that version, and there is no compatibility between major KSP versions

Is there a way to apply symmetry to a part without picking it up? For instance I take alot of time fine tuning something on one side of my plane only to see I failed to hit 2x sym. Instead of having to pick up my part and more or less ruin my precise placement id be nice to have some sort of mirror copy button.

Not really, that would involve getting much deeper into the editor than EEX gets.

[Motokid600]

I see. Thank you.

By default the EEX menu pops up where the button in stock toolbar is - and it's click-through-able ...

This is a bummer because the menu is not moveable AND in front of my vessel...

Edit:

I just recognized that the reroot functionality is reverted to stock behaviour after I went back to VAB from flight.
I had to toggle it off, save and toggle it on and save again to get it back.

i mentioned this before but I think it was before you took over this mod...    but I would like an option to snap not just to center like we have now but an option to snap the part or group of parts to the craft at their center of mass.  Both for wet and dry mass.  the idea being if I create a booster stage, be it a single part or a group of parts, I would like to snap it to the decoupler at the dry COM so the ejection does not induce and torque on the stage as it is ejected.  but maybe wet mas would be useful as well so both would be nice.

New release, 3.3.13

• Updated for 1.3

[selfish_meme]

Hi @linuxgurugamer wanted to say how much I appreciate all the work you put into these mods keeping them alive. Also I just tried the new version oF EEX and noticed one teeny tiny flaw, it's just an icon

[linuxgurugamer]

Nope. It's there.  What other mods do you have installed?  See this:

[Azimech]

Thanks LGG! EEX is the most important mod for me!

FYI Editor extensions appears to break the way the new struts/fuel lines gizmo. It causes the entire part (both ends and the middle connector) to gizmo together, instead of being able to gizmo each end individually, and the middle connector to re-draw between them.

Not sure what you mean.  Video please

Here you go; 

You can see how it's supposed to work on both ends when I move the right side (the side I placed 1st) at the beginning. Then you see what happens when I try to move the left side. The left side can't properly have movement enabled. Rotate works fine, but not translate. If I uninstall EE it works fine. There's no null refs or anything in the log.

3.3.13 seems to get picked up by ckan on 1.2.x installs and seems to break backwards compat and presumably only works on 1.3.x

might be useful to update ckan to make it 1.3.x only

i think that's the relevant logbarf.

i don't super care enough about it to do the legwork myself, and this problem clearly goes away as 1.3.x gets adopted, so mostly just leaving this here if anyone else hits the same issue.

I'm still running 1.2.2 since I can't get my game to stop crashing (due to a variety of mods) but since the 3.3.13 update, it seems I don't even get the toolbar button in VAB or SPH anymore. It also shows the stock symmetry controls instead on the numbers, etc.

I've tried re-downloading and also via CKAN. Apologies, I'm not that familiar with log files or GitHub or stuff like that. I'm hoping there's a way to get a version that is known to work with 1.2.2? or is it only the version that works with 1.3?

Thanks!

Got to Spacedock: https://spacedock.info/mod/48/Editor Extensions Redux

Click on ChangeLog, and you will see version 3.3.12.

Download that and install it.  also, make sure that there is only one ModuleManager*.dll in your GameData directory, and that it is version 2.7.6

Thank you! I'll try that, appreciate your reply.

UPDATE: Yes! It worked like a charm. Thanks for pointing out the Changelog on Spacedock, I didn't know you could download previous versions like that!

Indeed, this is pretty annoying.
@linuxgurugamer, the CKAN metadata includes:
 

"EditorExtensionsRedux": {
"module_version": {
"3.3.13"
...
"ksp_version_max": "1.3.0",
"ksp_version_min": "1.2.0",

Which indicates it's compatible with any KSP version from 1.2 - 1.3, is this correct? From what I see it's incompatible with 1.2.x, and should be marked as such...

[linuxgurugamer]

That's strange, it is supposed to pick up the .version info, which does exclude it.

I'll ask somebody to take a look, I can't right now

I see the problem, it is the .version file.

I'll get it updated

Your .version file is correct, so this may be another CKAN bug... It wouldn't be the first, another mod hit much the same issue recently.

[linuxgurugamer]

New release, 3.3.13.1:

• Updated .version file to reflect incompatibility with 1.2
• Deleted previous release from spacedock & github

Actually, it was wrong.  There were enough changes in KSP that while the binaries in previous versions would work (ie:  dll compiled for 1.2.2 would run in 1.2), that I had to change the .version to exclude the previous versions
