Quick question with IVA removal

[Jesusthebird]

Kinda tight on ram... and I dont really use the IVAs all too much..until I can purchase some more...i was wondering if there was some sort of way to remove the iva spaces without going through all the cfg files and removing the internal referencing(thatd be quite the task for me). what about an MM patch? saw a reddit post suggesting a mm patch may be able to, so then i can delete the spaces folder, saving a bit of ram for the meen time. i thought deleting the spaces folders would work by itself. but a quick google showed it wont work like that, and id most likely get game crashing since the mods part cant reference to a iva that wouldn't exist anymore.

 

I've removed as many parts mods as i feel comfortable...and although my 'galactic neighborhood' takes a good portion of my ram..id like to keep it intact as I finally got it stable.(stock plus the entire Galactic Neighborhood I have takes 10-11gb, my current max is 16gb and ksp currently caps at 15gb when finished loading with all my mods excluding the larger ones btw. So I'm thinking the IVAs are the next big resource using item that I dont even use anyways lol. even if it saves 512mb...anything would help at this point...and ive determined texture converting isnt really worth it anymore so thats out the window lol. 

 

heres the link to the reddit discussion. any help would be appreciated. more precisly...if a MM patch exists for such a thing...link? otherwise im assuming id have to do this by hand eh?

Is bumping a thing?

You're not technically supposed to self-bump but it's not a strictly enforced rule, and I really doubt anyone is going to report you for it lol.

I swear there was a mod or MM patch that disabled IVA's... I used to use it myself. It did help a little bit with RAM usage.

I did a quick Google search but it didn't turn up anything, I'll keep picking my brain though in hopes I remember; it's going to bother me now. Lol.

Thanks. Please let me know if you remember. Ive removed a few planet packs in the meantime as those take a buttload of resources.

I'm in the same boat.  All respect to mod authors who spend incredible amounts of time on them, but I have no interest in IVAs.

I found this on Reddit... can someone familiar with the inner workings of mod grammar comment on whether this will work?

Get module manager. Save a notepad file as a .cfg with the following code:
@PART[*]:FINAL
{
    !INTERNAL{}
}
Dump the .cfg file somewhere in your gamedata file and it should remove all internals.

Seems too easy to be true, but if it is, it's the answer we've been looking for.

Sorry for reviving this old post but I have a followup question.

Is the MM patch enough for the game engine to not process IVA models and texture during loading or should I also delete relevant files to ensure that the game doesn't process them at all ?
