[Tutorial] Modifying + Exporting Internals in .20 Part Tools

[Nicky89107]

Alright, so I figured out how to export modified Internals and figured I would make it easier for the rest of the community.

I am going to assume that you already set the .20 part tools up and a basic understanding of unity.

So, Onto the tutorial:

Step 1: Import the Internal

To import the Internal, you go up to the hot bar, hover over tools, then open the KSP part tools GUI.

Inside the GUI, you go to the "Spaces" tab, find the space you want, and click Spawn next to it.

This will spawn the internal into the scene.

Step 2: Modifying with existing props

The part tools handily imports all pre-existing props into the GUI for you.

You will want to click on the internal to make sure it is selected, And open up the GUI again.

Inside the gui, You will need to go to the "Props" tab.

Most of the props are named what you would most likely think.

Again, Find the one you want, and click Spawn. It will appear in the scene, Most likely in the center of your Internal.

Step 3: Exporting the Internal

If you would like to overwrite the previous internal, You can just click on the internals root folder, Go to the inspector Tab, and click "Save to Config"\

This will save the configuration of parts to the internal.cfg

If you would like to save it to your own internal config, you will first want to go to the "Dir URL" option, and click Set.

This will open up a window in the GameData directory.

You will want to navigate into: "YourModsFolder/Spaces/yourSpaceName" and click okay.

The part tools can not create an internal completely from scratch, so if you are just modifying an internal, you will want to copy everything from it's folder into your internal folder.

If you are modifying an internal, you will need to open up the internal.cfg and rename "name=". When you are done, You will want to go back to unity and set the "Space Name" option to the name in your internal.cfg.

For Example: "Internal{ name = mycupolaInternal}" would equal "Space Name = mycupolaInternal"

And that's your lot.

Is there anyway to create an internal from scratch?

Is there anyway to create an internal from scratch?

You can do that in a 3D modelling program like Blender.
