Mechjeb Ascent Guidance missing <resolved>

[Kahuna Nui]

Hi.  I have edited the part.cfg to give me ascent guidance from the beginning.  This morning before work, it was working perfectly, but this evening, it doesn't appear in the Mechjeb menu.  I've reinstalled MJ, and re-edited the cfg, and also tried it with several ships, and it's still not there.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

 

Thanks


<edit> Sorry, I've just resolved the issue.  It appears as though it was being blocked/affected by another mod.  I uninstalled EVE and the docking port reticule, and now it's back.  I'll leave this here just in case it helps someone else in future.

That is - odd... EVE shouldn't have any effect on MJ. I don't know about the docking port reticule mod, though.

Btw, a method that survives updates of the MJ mod is to create a mj_unlock.cfg (or any other name as long as it ends in .cfg) somewhere within the GameData directory with content like this:

Spoiler

@PART:HAS[@MODULE[MechJebCore],!MODULE[KerbalEVA]]:FINAL
{
  %MODULE[MechJebCore]
  {
    %MechJebLocalSettings
    {
      %MechJebModuleAscentGuidance { %unlockTechs = start }
    }
  }
}

 

Or even more simple, just create a directory called "MechJebUnlocked" in GameData and all functions are available. Remember to remove the ModuleManager.ConfigCache file afterwards, so MM refreshes the cache or else you'd scratch your head for a while. I did...

Edit: huh. maybe that cache was the reason for your troubles, too, and removing the mods made MM re-read the edited config? It should automatically notice changes in the part.cfg, though.
