This craft will be named XXX on launch


Recommended Posts

Hello,

Ive been getting the message in the title sometimes. I beleive it is caused by renaming a .craft file, but not editing the name contained in it.

Usually, the game does a pretty good job at guessing, but in a few cases it seems to be doing strange things. e.g.

The root part in this case is the probe called "R5 Angara". Why does it want to rename it to the rover core (RedAnt) and how do I stop it from doing that? The craft file's internal name is set correctly as follows:

ship = R5 Angara
version = 1.11.2
description = Angara R5 powered Red Ant bound for Dres.¨¨ This is also the development craft for the R5. Real max. payload is 25t. Copy to Subassembly.¨¨ Due to kerbal scaling, if this were to scale, it would have waaaay too much fuel, so we had to shorten it. It's also only supposed to carry 25t, but this one can carry much, much more.¨
type = VAB

My google searches returned nothing about this relatively new feature so I ask here.

I should point out that this craft file was pretty old and still uses some of the archived parts (they are still in the game, but not in the "Filter by Function" section of the part list). Not sure if that matters.

 

N.B. As the "Insert image from URL" part of this forum is broken, I was unable to test before posting if they work. I'll try to fix in edit, but as I write this, I can only see the URL and can't check if the forum can access them. If not, the two images are of the rename ship message being displayed and the 3 probe PAWs showing vessel renaming properties. I see nothing unusual about them.

maybe images fixed now?

Ah, figured it out: I misread the priority thing and had them the wrong way around.

I'll leave this post instead of deleting it before anyone has read it because there is so little information about this topic.
