Just wondering if such a method exists in the KSP API

[Perdog]

I've been searching for the better half of 3 days but can't find it, so I turn to you, fellow modders.

I'm trying to find an event/method that is called when a user starts a new save, or loads an older save. I'm trying to use it to add things to the game if it can't find a .dat file for the plugin.

Also, since I'm making a thread anyways, is there a way to only get planets? I've seen other people use FlightGlobals.Bodies, but that returns all bodies, including moons, but I only want the parent body, ie Jool, Duna etc.

Thanks in advance guys

For the first part of your request, you might be able to do something with the GameEvents class though it's only a thought.

For the second part, you can take advantage of the fact that each CelestialBody carries a list of all CelestialBodies orbiting it:

Planetarium.fetch.Sun.orbitingBodies

This will give you a list of all bodies orbiting the sun (meaning; all planets)

A part module has the "OnLoad / OnSave" overrides.... other than that I know

Planetarium.fetch.time (time will be different if a new load)

I was looking at GameEvents but it didn't seem like any of them were delegates.

And thanks on the second part! Didn't see Sun when I was browsing through fetch

Will try these, thanks!
