Stock Searchable Part Tags

[sparkybear]

 

 

So, I'm moving this here from the 1.1 pre-release thread. Sorry if this isn't allowed, but the old thread was locked.

I've run through and grabbed all of the searchable tags found in the stock files located in GameData/Squad/Parts folder. If you'd like to include searchable tags to your parts in the future, simply add the line 

"tags = [tag1] [tag2] ..." in the main section of the part.cfg file. I found that most were located below the Bulkhead Properties or the Description line in the .cfg folder when first looking at these. There is a download link that will be updated as new releases come out. There were quite a lot of tags changed between 1.1 pre-release and the official release and I imagine that this will change.

FAQ:

Q: What do the ( and ) and ? mean? 

A: Check out this post : 

The text contained:

The search is split up into individual words, and then each individual search term is compared against every tag in the part. Every term in the search needs to be matched to at least one tag using one of ten algorithms for the part to be matched.

There are many tags that match in one direction, from the search term to the tag, or the tag to the search term. There are also those that go in both directions, which we use most of the time for flexible searches. Having access to all of these algorithms helps avoid collisions in searches without having something as slow and complex as regex. Here's the gist of them...

• ? : The tag and the search term need to be exactly the same.
• [ : The search term starts with the tag.
• ] : The search term ends with the tag.
• { : The tag starts with the search term.
• } : The tag ends with the search term.
• ( : Either the search term starts with the tag, or the tag starts with the search term.
• ) : Either the search term ends with the tag, or the tag ends with the search term.
• < : The search term contains the tag.
• > : The tag contains the search term.
• No Symbol : Either the search term contains the tag, or the tag contains the search term.

Q: What is/was the "Missing?" category?

A: In the most recent updates, there is no longer an empty/missing category as all parts are now under some form of category or another. Older versions of KSP will still have parts without a category, but current versions have added a new 'none' category for these to sit in.

I don't know. I can't seem to find what it is and there is probably something wrong with the scraping tool I wrote to pull the tags. That category had no name, it was blank, but still had tags tied to the blank category. That said, no one seems to have provided an answer for what the category should be, so it's labelled as "Missing?" until there's an answer.  

Q: Can I run this tool myself?

A: Sure, it's on GitHub under KSP-Tag-Scraper. It's nothing fancy, just remember to set the kerbalDirectory variable to a the Parts folder(it's a recursive function by default, but I wouldn't trust it to run from "C:\") and the outputDirectory variable to the directory you want to write "KSPTags.txt" to.

Some info on part tags by Arsonide

 

[sparkybear]

Awesome, I will add a reference to that post.Thanks!

[sparkybear]

Tags have been updated to include the 1.1.13 additions.

[sparkybear]

Updated to 1.2.2

 

There were many new categories added in this update, some were removed, and most were altered quite heavily. 

[sparkybear]

I know it's been a long time since I've updated this thing, but I made some updates to the tool and regenerated the tags to accommodate the most recent changes.
