[WIP] SheepDog Institute [VAB Organizer Support Mod]


Recommended Posts

== Overview ==

Welcome to the development thread for **VABOrganizer-Sheepdog**, a support mod designed to integrate a wide range of popular part mods with VAB Organizer.

Fun Fact: This is my first posted mod for KSP!

** VAB Organizer is not my mod. I am only providing support configs for various mods to integrate with VAB Organizer.**
VAB Organizer: Enhances your building experience in the Vehicle Assembly Building by allowing you to categorize and manage your parts more effectively. SDVABO ensures that parts from various mods are properly categorized, helping you streamline your builds and find the parts you need quickly.

VABO is developed by Nertea and can be found at:

@SheepDog2142  Thanks for this mod! 

 

Current Github version throws a MM warning on startup:

[WRN 11:40:51.949] empty brackets detected on patch name: SDVBAO/Tundra/TundraVABO/@PART[]:FOR[VABOrganizer]

 

There's a patch at line 329 in SDVBAO\Tundra\TundraVABO.cfg that's empty:

@PART[]:FOR[VABOrganizer]
{
    %VABORGANIZER
    {
        %organizerSubcategory = fairings
    }
}

It's not a serious issue at all - the warning can be ignored.

Removing the empty patch eliminates the warning if (like me) your OCD won't let you live with it.

added support for:

* Shuttle Orbiter Construction Kit

I will do some QC work over the next few days to polish any subcategories that are messed up.

Getting support for Habtech2 would be good, The dev version is bringing in a lot of greebles that all clump together, along with all the different types of station parts.

Ill add it to the list. 

For anyone who wants a mod done. If I can get a list of part names I can have it done same day. As that's what takes the longest.

@SheepDog2142 If nobody's on it already, I could take on KPBS + FUR for you.

I've posted two issues on your repo. In the naming suggestions issue I mention that I'll be releasing configs separate from this, and why.

In the other issue I point out a critical mistake that's being made in this mod, which can cause massive support headaches for users of the mods this mod provides for.

Already fixed and responded to. Thanks for the feedback!
I have KPBS partially done but haven't touched FUR so go for it.

I've already asked @Lisias in the Airplane Plus thread, and he said he intends to add AP+ support.

I and another person already finished that. You'll be seeing mine soon, along with FUR and CryoEnginesExtensions.

Have you considered making a 'propeller engines' category for mods like Airplane Plus? It seems that currently all the props are in the miscellaneous category, and I think there's enough of them both in Airplane Plus and other mods to warrant them having their own category. Helicopter turboshaft engines and tail rotors could potentially go in their own category as well.

 

EDIT: Looking through the config, it appears this exists, but given that the prop engines all appear in the 'Miscellaneous' category I'm guessing that the prop engines category needs to be defined somewhere.
