Adding Part details/info ?

[Mr_Auto]

Hi there

i'm wondering, how to add info to specific parts (tanks and engines), like in the empty space (marked red)

 

I wanted to add mass to fuel and mass to thrust ratios

is it possible, or maybe there is a mod with this already?

You need to write a plugin with a PartModule that implements IModuleInfo. See this post. Then you can add it to all the part with an engine with ModuleManager.

ok, i done it but there is a problem

 

That module title, don't know from where come that "Ratio Module Class"

code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
//using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace KSP_modul
{
    public class RatioModuleClass : PartModule
    {
        public string GetModuleTitle()
        {
            return "Ratio";
        }

        public override string GetInfo()
        {
            return "Info";
        }

        /*public Callback<Rect> GetDrawModulePanelCallback()
        {
            return null;
        }*/
    }
}

and in part cfg file:

	MODULE
	{
		name = RatioModuleClass
	}

Sorry I am rusty

 

public override string GetModuleDisplayName()
{
	return "Stuff;
}

And When you ll want to get the engine stats

ModuleEngines engine;

public override void OnAwake()
{
	engine = part.modules.GetModule<ModuleEngines>;
}

And then what?

.GetInfo() ?

i don't see an easy way of getting those values

Well you have the part mass ( part.mass ), the engine stats (engine.maxFuelFlow, ...) and the gravity at sea level (Planetarium.fetch.Home.GeeASL) so do math.

float isp =  engine.atmosphereCurve.Evaluate(1);

float  flowModifier = stuff

float  trust = engine.maxFuelFlow * engine.flowModifier * Isp * engine.g;
