Help with Module Manager

[DunaManiac]

Hello all, I am new to module manager, and I have started a little project where I am trying to develop a part, based on the 0.625 meter reaction wheel. I am on version 1.8.1 and have Module Manager version 4.1.1.

For some reason, my part, no matter what I do, seems to be stuck in limbo between a non-command part and a probecore. When I launch it, the game dosen't give me a warning telling me that I am launching it with a command part, and when I launch it, I can control staging, but the delta v window lists it as 0 m/s, even though I have an engine attached on my test craft. In the map view, the game classifies it as debri, and I cannot control the ship, even though the base part is a reaction wheel.

Here is My CFG file.

+PART[sasModule]
{
       @name = squadSoundingCore
       @TechRequired = start
       @entryCost = 0
       @cost = 300
       @category = Pods
       @title = Sounding Rocket Probe Core
       @description = After many failed attempts to launch a manned spacecraft into the air, which involved strapping kites and rockets to a chair, a breakthrough at the budding company Probodobodyne, created an unmanned probe core which has many advantages over a capsule, including less mass, and less cost, and a minor benifit of elliminating the possibility of killing a kerbal on impact. Warranty void as soon as it crashes into the ground.
       @mass = 0.1
       MODULE
       {
        name = ModuleCommand
        minimumCrew = 0
        RESOURCE
        {
            name = ElectricCharge
            rate = 0.02333334
        }
        hasHibernation = True
        hibernationMultiplier = 0.001
        defaultControlPointDisplayName = #autoLOC_6011003 //Default
        CONTROLPOINT
        {
            name = reverse
            displayName = #autoLOC_6011004 //Reversed
            orientation = 0,0,180
        }
       }
       RESOURCE
       {
               name = ElectricCharge
               amount = 5.0
               maxAmount = 5.0
       }
       MODULE
       {
        name = ModuleDataTransmitter
        antennaType = INTERNAL
        packetInterval = 1.0
        packetSize = 2
        packetResourceCost = 12.0
        requiredResource = ElectricCharge
        antennaPower = 5000
        optimumRange = 2500
        packetFloor = .1
        packetCeiling = 5
       }        
}

But more importantly, whenever I attempt to log an experiment, the game throws a NullReferenceExeption: Object is not an Instance of an object. I looked in the log, and I could only find two things, a warning, and the NullReferenceExeption that happens whenever I log the experiment. In the game, when I click on the option that says "Log Experiment", the option disappears

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    ExperimentResultDialogPage..ctor (Part host, ScienceData experimentData, System.Single xmitBase, System.Single xmitBonus, System.Boolean showTransmitWarning, System.String transmitWarningMessage, System.Boolean showResetOption, ScienceLabSearch labSearch, Callback`1[T] onDiscardData, Callback`1[T] onKeepData, Callback`1[T] onTransmitData, Callback`1[T] onSendToLab) (at <9d71e4043e394d78a6cf9193ad011698>:0)

and

[WRN 21:42:40.903] HighlightingSystem : Framebuffer depth data is not available and can't be used to occlude highlighting. Highlighting occluders enabled.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've found it helpful to look at the GameData\ModuleManager.ConfigCache file - it contains the post MM processing cfg's so you can see what you actually did vs what you thought you did with a MM patch.

Ok, I will try that

Not sure if you figured this out but you need to add this to you config. You need to add this to your config.

%vesselType = Probe

You need to use the % sign, this does edit/add if not in the config. The @ symbol only does edit, so wont add it if the definition doesn't exist. You could just put vesselType = Probe ,but if squad put a definition for vesselType it may break one day.

I tested this and it works for my set up.
