[WIP][1.8.x-1.9.0]Need help for a MM-based temp patch for servo mirror bug

[sturmhauke]

Some of you may be aware of the mirrored servo bug in Breaking Ground 1.8.x and 1.9.0. There's an entry on the bug tracker; hopefully it will get an official fix soon.

But in the meantime, I've been trying to do a ModuleManager patch. I've identified a key-value pair that apparently triggers the bug (as in, it seems to be a hook into the main engine where the bug actually lives). It's not in the part config, but is added when saving a craft on servos that are placed in mirror symmetry mode (only one one side of the craft though). It looks like this:

MODULE
{
    name = ModuleRoboticRotationServo
    // other stuff
    mirrorRotation = True
    // more stuff
}

Furthermore, for existing craft that didn't have this value already, the mirrorRotation value defaults to False, so the bug isn't triggered.

So, what I'm trying to do is make a MM patch that can either delete or set the value to False at runtime, or when the craft file is saved, or something like that.

interesting - beyond me.

might want to post this in the ModuleManger thread and ping. @blowfish

good luck!

Right, doh. I'll do that.

ModuleManager can't operate on craft files.

Bummer. You happen to have any other ideas then?
