GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD! Never have to distribute a modified part.cfg again!

ialdabaoth · May 8, 2013

So, let's say you want to install IonCross's Life Support System plugin.

And then you want to install FAR's accurate aerodynamics plugin.

And then you want to install my wonderful Modular Fuel Tanks plugin.

But then you realize: each of these mods requires you to replace your part.cfg files. If you want to install both, you're going to have to go into your part.cfg files, figure out what each mod needs you to change, and then write your own modified version.

This is tedious and error-prone, and no for the faint of heart.

BUT NOT ANYMORE!

Now, IonCross and FAR, and anyone else who distributes modified versions of stock parts, can simply distribute ModuleManager with their own plugin, and ModuleManager will do the work for you.

How it works:

There's a file that sits in your PluginData directory, called PluginData/ModuleManager/parts.cfg

This file looks something like this:


include = ModularFuelTanks.cfg
include = FAR.cfg
include = IonCrossLSS.cfg

Then you see that each of those files also exists within PluginData/ModuleManager/; for example, ModularFuelTanks.cfg looks something like this:


include = KW_modularFuelTanks.cfg
include = BAC9_modularFuelTanks.cfg
include = BobCat_modularFuelTanks.cfg

So, each config file can include multiple subfiles, and can also includes Part nodes. A Part node is simply the name of a Part (for example, fuelTank2-2), followed by a series of subnodes that describe what to change on that part. A Part node can contain any of three types of subnodes:

REMOVE

A REMOVE node contains a list of fields. Each field's key must be a RESOURCE or MODULE, and its value must be the name of the Resource or PartModule to remove from the part.

ADD

An ADD node contains a list of nodes. Each node must be a RESOURCE or MODULE node to add to the part.

REPLACE

A REPLACE node functionally operates like a REMOVE node followed by an ADD node - for each RESOURCE or MODULE subnode, it finds the RESOURCE or MODULE with the name specified, deletes it, and replaces it with the one defined in the subnode.

This should make plugin compatibility between authors about 10x easier, while we wait for the official solution in 0.20.

Update: Fixed a NullReferenceException that would only happen if you tried to load a .cfg for a plugin you don't have.

Fyrem · May 8, 2013

interesting idea, however just to point it out: the changes to 'parts as pre-loaded database' may destroy this method completely.

and it is (scheduled) to happen in .20

ialdabaoth · May 9, 2013

And as soon as 0.20 comes out, we can switch to that system. But in the meantime, I am tired of mucking with part.cfg files

Fyrem · May 9, 2013

I hear that!

ialdabaoth · May 12, 2013

UPDATE: Link unchanged, but I've fixed a few bugs, and added config files for the following mods:

stock KSP

ModularFuelTanks

KW Rocketry

RemoteTech

IonCrossLSS

KSPX

Also, the ModularFuelTanks plugin is now included with the release.

What you're doing is very interesting; and should very much be incorporated into the game. Modifying the files after they're loaded allows for extremely easy "batching" of types. Even more so if you include wildcards or other search terms. (Fortunately

Collections.Generic.List`1[AvailablePart] PartLoader.loadedPartsList

is public; which means you can easily skip the method and make your own search criteria. Remember, people have MANY MANY parts; why should YOU know all possible parts when you can say "Well, if it has

RESOURCE

{

name = LiquidFuel

}

it probably is a fuel tank.

(Although I do not agree with violating protections to call a method that "seems to do what you want") [i mean, I have little idea what unintended consequences awakening the part before it is on a ship may have... and as you can't "sleep" the part...]

*also, question... why not self terminate after loading the assembly? I mean, unless you actually intend to make an GUI allowing people to change Part.cfg files without restarting; hence creating a nightmare when things go wrong!

Neither do I, in principle... in practice, all I can do to make it work is call the function and then hope that .20 fixes the problem.

That's basically the reason. I intend to add a bit to the Settings menu to allow users to select alternate .cfg sets.

REMOVE does not seem to work. First noticed when trying to replace a RESOURCE value that it didn't do anything. Then simply tried removing an existing RESOURCE to see what would happen, and nothing did. Any suggestions?

What does your REMOVE node look like?

It should look something like this:


PartName
{
  REMOVE
  {
     RESOURCE = resourceName
     MODULE = moduleName
  }
}

Paste your .cfg file and I'll try debugging it.

JeBuSBrian · May 18, 2013

Okay, that does work. What I had been doing was in line with the other methods:


PartName
{
  REMOVE
  {
     RESOURCE
      {
        name = ElectricCharge
      }
  }
}

I suppose replace is also working, but I did not realize it because the text in the hover-over gui does not reflect the new values I replaced with. But your gui on the action groups screen does show the new values. (referring to modular fuel tanks, obviously) What I mean by that is, if I change the maxAmount via replace, it is still shown as the original maxAmount in the vanilla gui.

Honestly, reflection quite scares/infuriates me.

I understand the need when using "Blind Discovery" (such as how KSP doesn't know a PartModule exists, but you can still add it); but after managing to make a ".NET peek" program (I don't have visual studio installed, and a few quick searches (based on not knowing what I wanted) for the mono equivalent were futile) I saw just how much was left. When I checked my code, I found even the tiny "Macro Functions" still managed to remain fully defined...

On the other hand, I have no idea why SQUAD is bothering with all these "XXXList" Classes, after running through the while "Assembly-Csharp.dll" I found that "PartResourceList" has a public "values" (which is the list that the wrapper class was trying to protect)....

But "PartModuleList" has a hidden (and unnamed???) "values" but it seems like I can interact with it all I want (using the properties), I just cannot call the .Add method.

I want to install IonCross's Life Support System plugin. but I have installed additional parts mod that adds many crew containers/command modules, How do I use this tool to automatically add the lifesupport code to all parts that supports a crew inside??

would it be possible to just detect all parts that can support a crew like finding a code "CrewCapacity <= 1" and then add lifesupport?

I tried this manually the other day but I just gave up due to the intense amount of editing needed and its hard to pinpoint where the parts are exactly

I've been writing my own little programs to do this kind of stuff for me. Haven't tried with IonCross, but did it with MechJeb to integrate that into all the pods. I couldn't take manually going through all the files. Automation is awesome.

Could you share to me the one you used on mechjeb? that would also be handy

To use it, I simply did this inside a WPF app's initialization, but you can also do it in a console program's main method if you like:


            ModularMechJeb.Modularize(@"C:\Users\Mine\Desktop\B9\Parts",
                                      @"C:\Users\Mine\Desktop\B9\B9_modularMechJeb.cfg");

At some point I should get around to making an actual user-friendly app, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. I hate the process of writing safe, user-friendly code, and I avoid it as often as I can. :wink: Especially when it's only for me.

GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD! Never have to distribute a modified part.cfg again!
