Editing or duplicating of Antenna to make it a relay

[MoarBoostersRUS]

I was wondering if taking the communotron 88-88 antenna and copying the config file and editing it to be a relay as well as editing it's name where needed would work?

It would work. Best way would be to use a ModuleManager patch to make the copy - example:

@PART[commDish]
{
	@name = commDishRelay
	@title = Communotron 99-99 Relay
	
	// increase mass for game balance?
	@mass = 0.5
	
	@MODULE[ModuleDataTransmitter]
	{
		@antennaType = RELAY
		
		// might also want to adjust packetInterval, packetSize or packetResourceCost for balance
	}
}

Awesome thank you for the help! I'm not a good modder, usually just do basic config file edits but I think I can handle this lol

@MoarBoostersRUS Sorry I've just noticed I made a mistake on the first line it should be +PART... rather than @PART... (+ copies while @ edits)

@Aelfhe1m I did some research to learn how to do it and noticed that  it's cool lol. But I did get it working thank you a ton now I can make more compact attached probes to set up relay networks
