To create your own custom mod categories, you need Module Manager and this mod:

Then, in the 000_FilterExtensions_Configs/Default folder, create a new .cfg file and paste this in with the relevant information added:

CATEGORY:NEEDS[NAME OF MOD DLL OR FOLDER]
{
    name = NAME OF MOD
    icon = NAME OF ICON*
    colour = #FFF0F0F0
    all = true
    
    FILTER
    {
        CHECK
        {
            type = folder
            value = EXACT NAME OF MOD FOLDER
        }
    }
    
    SUBCATEGORIES
    {
        list = 0,Pods
        list = 1,Fuel Tanks
        list = 2,Engines
        list = 3,Command and Control
        list = 4,Structural
        list = 5,Coupling
        list = 6,Payload
        list = 7,Aerodynamics
        list = 8,Ground
        list = 9,Thermal
        list = 10,Electrical
        list = 11,Communications
        list = 12,Science
        list = 13,Utility
        list = 14,Undefined
    }
}

That will create a new tab in the Advanced Mode UI, effectively creating a whole new part selector for just that mod.

*This should be the name of the .dds icon for that mod in 000_FilterExtensions\Icons\Autoloaded_Icons_Mods, if it isn't there you will need to add one for it or substitute something else.

ok I got filter extension working ,it put a whole bunch of tabs ,but what I want to do is.example take all of the engines that have propellers and put it in one tab,and so on.i removed all the tabs filter extension created and made one of my own to test.this is what it has.

 

CATEGORY

{

name = plane engine

icon = EngineRocket

colour = #FF90F090

all = true

value = engine

 

SUBCATEGORIES

{

list = 0,

 

}

}

with that it does have the tab plane engine but it has a excrementsload of sub tabs and a lot of randome parts.how can I fix that?

thank you for your time.
