How does Making History hide old parts?

[Tyko]

Hey all, I'm looking for how Squad hides legacy parts when MH is installed. Has anyone run across the relevant config? I want to see if I can use MM to do the same thing.

Perhaps @RoverDude could answer this?

Thanks!

Hi the normal way to do this is to simply set the  part category to none. I do this to prevent certain parts loading if a certain plugin is not installed, which prevents what appear to be broken parts appearing in the editor.
Don't see any reason why you couldn't do it with a simple MM patch, if all you wanted to do was hide superfluous or irrelevant parts

Parts like the old jumbo64 tank have this entry in the config...

TechHidden = True

I haven’t looked in the last few versions but the asteroids parts were accessible by clicking the part grouping tabs somehow, I don’t recall which tabs. You could spawn them on the runway or pad. I believe the old parts are still accessible in game but out of sight in some of the part grouping/categories tabs now.
