GFG file Keywords

[SirJoab]

Hey guys, I'm just getting started on modding in KSP... having a blast too.

Where can I find a full list of keywords for cfg files? I'm seeing things in different CFGs like "isAlwaysActive" or "activateGUIName".

Also, is there any way to create IF or any type of conditional statements in a CFG file, or do those kind of things need to be in a plugin?

I'm not sure there is a comprehensive list of CFG file parameters or modules.

Also there is no way to create and or statements in the CFG file as much as we might want them they would require a plugin.

Somewhat outdated, but a good starting point.

A plugin would be your best bet, since CFG files don't support the traditional IF-ELSE conditionals.

That page is incredibly dated. All cigs now use the module{} system. That information is basically useless.

You probably want to read through this thread, specifically this download which is a copy of a thread which detailed (among other things) a list of all the config file parameters. Quite useful, even if slightly outdated. Much newer than the wiki documentation though.

The config files map to the public variables on the module classes, so an assembly browser will allow you to see the full and up to date list (although it's not entirely two way, not all of them will be usable in config files). If you do get into plugin writing then any .NET IDE is likely to come with one - MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio, SharpDevelop, Visual Studio Express etc.
