Adding a PartModule to all Parts

[Ontresanas]

Is there any way to add a PartModule to all Parts that have a ModuleEngines?  And if so, how?

Module Manager is a mod built just for that purpose. You write patches in a text document with the .cfg extension and MM applies the changes to all the parts that you specify

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleEngines*]] // all parts that have a module where the module name field starts with "ModuleEngines"
{
	MODULE
	{
		name = myModule
	}
}

So, if I understand the way Module Manager works, this should give all SRBs a failure rate of 1%, and all non-SRBs a failure rate of 0.1%, unless they already have a failure module.

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleEngines],@RESOURCE[SolidFuel],!MODULE[ModuleEngineFailure]]:Final
{    
    MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleEngineFailure
        FailChance = 0.01;
    }
}

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleEngines],!RESOURCE[SolidFuel],!MODULE[ModuleEngineFailure]]:Final
{
    MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleEngineFailure
        FailChance = 0.001;
    }
}

Does this affect derived classes, like ModuleEnginesFX, or would I have to have a seperate definition to affect those as well?

Note the wildcard (*) after the ModuleEngines in my HAS block. Module manager is working with the text files before KSP compiles them into parts, so you won't catch derived classes unless you specifically allow for that (ModuleEngines catches only ModuleEngines, ModuleEngines* catches any module that has a name starting with ModuleEngines. ie. ModuleEngines and ModuleEnginesFX)

PS

You should direct MM syntax questions to the MM thread, you'll get better answers faster because more people will see it
