Module Manager Syntax Help

[CoriW]

Hello, I currently use the kOS mod and I've created a module manager config to add a kOS processor to all probe cores via these lines.

	@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleCommand],!MODULE[kOSProcessor],#CrewCapacity[0]]:NEEDS[kOS]:AFTER[kOS]
{
    MODULE
    {
        name = kOSProcessor
        diskSpace = 60000
        ECPerBytePerSecond = 0
        ECPerInstruction = 0.000004
    }
}
	

However I also want to remove the parts that come with the kOS mod from the Tech Tree and change their category to none so they do not appear at all in the VAB. I want to write a single check but can't for the life of me figure out the syntax to specify multiple parts names in one pass. The following are the two things I've tried and neither have worked successfully.

	@PART[*]:HAS[#name[Cherry?Light]|#name[KAL9000]|#name[KR-2042]|#name[kOSMachine0m]|#name[kOSMachine1m]|#name[kOSMachineRad]]:NEEDS[kOS]:AFTER[kOS]
{
    @TechRequired = unassigned
    @category = none
}
	

	@PART[Cherry?Light|KAL9000|KR-2042|kOSMachine0m|kOSMachine1m|kOSMachineRad]:NEEDS[kOS]:AFTER[kOS]
{
    @TechRequired = unassigned
    @category = none
}
	

I'm sure I'm just missing some basic syntax thing, but all help is appreciated, thanks!

Here is a MM patch I use to 'ghost' parts:

Spoiler

@PART[AKI?GolfClub]:NEEDS[SurfaceExperimentPack]:FINAL
{
	!TechRequired = DELETE
	!entryCost = DELETE
	category = -1
}

// zer0Kerbal

 

I take it [Cherry?Light] has a space in the part name?

@PART[Cherry?Light|KAL9000|KR-2042|kOSMachine*]:NEEDS[kOS]:FINAL

I would suggest dividing up different mod parts into separate patches.

also - add  -mm-dump to the KSP Command line - creates a directory ( Game/_MMCfgOutput )  that has all the resulting part.cfg files (resulting means after all MM patches applied). If you use CKAN there is an option for it (Settings/KSP Command-line). Once it dumps you can see exactly how your patches have been applied.

Hey so I tried your code, and I've noticed something that I think has been throwing me off this whole time. It seems to be applying the patch correctly, but only removing the parts from the tech tree that I haven't yet unlocked.. However parts I have unlocked remain visible in the tech tree. Is that normal?

could try the following variant patch

Spoiler

    @TechRequired = Unresearchable
    @category = none

Unfortunately still can't seem to get rid of the ones I've already unlocked. Strange. Perhaps I'll just end up having to straight up delete the parts from GameData. Doing an MM patch is just seeming to be more trouble than it's worth at this point.

Yeah I'm running probably around 40 - 50 parts mods, so it's a must. I suppose removing the part's isn't really a clutter issue, more of just that it kinda bugs me to keep the parts around when I've rendered them useless lol.

am the same way. is part of the reason I just created a cck for OrbitalTug for its 8 parts.

Sounds like something I would do lol.

Anyways on the note of my original issue, I ultimately did end up just deleting the parts straight out of GameData, I figure if I update the mod I'll remember to re-delete the parts. Thanks for the help, fly safe.

I've tried out your patch for adding kOS to probes, but somehow it doesn't add it to drone cores and and the rover probe. Do you have an idea why/ how to fix it?
