Couple of c# / API questions.

My apologies, it's getting late and I overlooked including the log.

Anyway, this is what happened in the log.  As you can see the stargateList (Gates in list) has 1 entry, which it should have.  the stargateList[0].name comes out as 'VESSEL' (Stargate NameVESSEL) which if I'm look at this correctly, it should really be the ship name as defined in the cfg file (which is a slightly modified craft file), and then when I try to grab the PART in the line I mentioned in my previous post, I get a stargateParts[0] value of PART (Part NamePART), which should (I believe) be the actual part assigned to the ship.

All of this is a lot of guesswork tbh but I'm learning, and picking up how stuff works.

As for Github, I don't have one as yet, but I plan to sort it out this weekend sometime.

Really appreciate the help

oh, if its just the names being wrong from ConfigNode.name, its probably because.name isn't actually the name field in a confignode (guessing here, never actually used the .name field). what you probably want is

 Debug.Log("TMS ORBITAL MECHANICS - Stargate Name " + stargateList[0].GetValue("name"));

EDIT

And that wont work because the vessel node doesn't have a name. Try:

Debug.Log("TMS ORBITAL MECHANICS - Stargate Name " + stargateList[0].GetValue("description"));
Debug.Log("TMS ORBITAL MECHANICS - Stargate Name " + stargateList[0].GetValue("ship"));

Thanks again for that

After playing around for a bit more adding in those few lines, it turns out it's doing what it supposed to (It's finding the Node(s) called PART, but the problem is It doesn't seem to be adding any of the info inside the PART node(s) into the ship, which is why I'm getting the 'Craft File not loaded because of missing part ..........' Error when I start up KSP.

I'll have a bit more of a play to see if I can figure it all out

Well, I got around to setting myself a git repository so it should be a lot easier to read the stuff I'm going to be asking about

Also added the beginnings of a readme with most of what I'm trying to accomplish, so it may give everyone a better idea.

I'm going to end this thread, and create a new one specifically for the mod as this was supposed to be general questions and it has evolved somewhat.
