How to intercept the automatic loading of EVA Propellent

[linuxgurugamer]

I'm working on bring forward the functionality of the old EVAManager mod.  Specifically, the EVA Propellent.

I haven't figured out any way to stop the auto-loading of EVA Propellent.  What I've done for now is to simply bypass it, and after the kerbal goes EVA I update the values on both the Kerbal and the vessel.  But the message is still posted that 5 units of EVA Propellent are loaded.

So, the best way would be to intercept the automatic loading.

Alternatively, if I could just prevent that message from displaying, I could just continue to work around it.

Thanks in advance

Did you try to change the EVA parts propellantResourceDefaultAmount  ?

PART[kerbalEVA|kerbalEVAfemale]
{
    @MODULE[KerbalEVA]
    {
        %propellantResourceDefaultAmount = 0
    }
}

Gaaah!  Can it be that simple?

Maybe I was misled by the old mod EVAManager, which apparently was set up because MM couldn't do anything with the kerbalEVA.

Thanks

No, it isn't that simple.

I needed to add an at (@) in front of the PART

Thanks for the help

Not a problem.

the real problem is that even though I see it in the MM cache file, it isn't working, the Kerbals are still getting 5 units of resource.

Not really a problem, I just (after a good nights sleep) figured out where those dang-blasted messages were coming from.  I had another mod  installed, EVAFuel, which was posting the messages, once I removed it, the messages went away.  Since I need to keep track of the EVA propellent anyway for each Kerbal, I just catch the onVesselSwitching and then adjust the amounts.

Now, EVAFuel is another problem, but I'll contact the author about that, I've already been giving him a little help regarding the settings window

and, after further investigation, I can confirm your patch DOES work.
