Part id

[Máté]

Is there any way to see the part ids in the game, what is linked where?

[sal_vager]

Not with the versions we get no, sorry Máté, no doubt the developers have versions where this is possible.

Not in game. Now, you can do it by cracking open the .craft file and taking a look at the gooey innards; Notepad will do the trick. You will be lost the first time you do this...

Is there a way to navigate those? Are the numbers in increasing order, does it go down from first to last?

[Jason Patterson]

Yes, the part numbers increase as you would expect, starting with 0 and going up until the last part.

[Vanamonde]

No, ids are invisible unless you are shooting them with blasters, as illustrated in my avatar.

I mean, for example if in a file I have structuralPanel2_4294363424 connected to both structuralPanel2_4294363464 and structuralPanel2_4294363324, how do I find out which one is next to it and which isn't?

Can you specify what you're talking about, 'id' is a little vague.

If you're talking about craft/persistance file entries like the following:

			PART
			{
				name = sasModule
				uid = 2160175402
				parent = 1
				position = 0,1.77346515655518,0
				rotation = 0,0,0,1
				mirror = 1,1,1
				istg = 0
				dstg = 0
				sqor = -1
				sidx = -1
				attm = 0
				srfN = None, -1
				attN = bottom, 1
				attN = top, 3
				mass = 0.07
				temp = 19.55977
				expt = 0.5
				state = 1
				connected = True
				attached = True
				EVENTS
				{
				}
				ACTIONS
				{
				}
			}

Then I think the srfN, attN and parent numbers refer to the order of the parts under that vessel in the file you're reading.

I've started making a big rover, but somehow I've achieved 3 way symmetry in SPH, that is not even symmetric. Some parts are set to be symmetric with multiple other parts and I don't really know how to fix it, I want it fixed, because now I can't build on it in symmetry mode.

If you're using Deadbeef's editor tools then the tab key switches between radial and mirror symmetry.
