How do I get the friendly name of a part?

[nadseh]

I'm trying to fetch the friendly name of a part (an engine, in my case). If I use ModuleEngines.name I get something like "liquidEngine1-2" - great for debugging, but rubbish for a UI. I notice in part cfgs there is a "title" field, with nice text like "RE-M3 "Mainsail" Liquid Fuel Engine" - how can I access this from a ModuleEngines or PartModule object?

There is actually a PartInfo class that is a property of the Part class that has all the part UI information like that name.

You'll have to drill down into that and find the in-game display name in there.

(I might have that class name wrong, it might be slightly off as I'm going from memory.)

part.title

It's really that simple (KSP rule of thumb: name == internal ID, title == user level ID)

No, it's part.partInfo.title.

The Part class itself doesn't store the title anywhere that I'm aware of.

Right. AvailablePart.title (somewhat misleading code on my part...)
