Can you use % on Modules, ie %MODULE[x] to add one if it's not there, or edit it if it is?

yes

Hello!

I'm trying to write a patch that modifies the energy usage on RemoteTech2 dishes.

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleRTAntenna]]:FINAL
{
	@MODULE[ModuleRTAntenna]
	{
		@EnergyCost *= 0.50
	}
}

This is what I have. However, this also applies to the omnidirectional antennae from the same mod. How would I go about filtering for only the dishes?

Omni antennae look like this:

@PART[RTShortAntenna1]:FOR[RemoteTech]
{
	%TechRequired = start
	%MODULE[ModuleRTAntenna] {
		%IsRTActive = true
		%Mode0OmniRange = 0
		%Mode1OmniRange = 500000
		%EnergyCost = 0.01
		
		%TRANSMITTER {
			%PacketInterval = 0.3
			%PacketSize = 2
			%PacketResourceCost = 15.0
		}
	}
	
	%MODULE[ModuleSPUPassive] {}
}

Dishes look like this:

@PART[RTShortDish2]:FOR[RemoteTech]
{
	%TechRequired = electrics
	%MODULE[ModuleRTAntenna] {
		%Mode0DishRange = 0
		%Mode1DishRange = 90000000
		%EnergyCost = 0.82
		%DishAngle = 25.0
		
		%TRANSMITTER {
			%PacketInterval = 0.3
			%PacketSize = 2
			%PacketResourceCost = 15.0
		}
	}
	
	%MODULE[ModuleSPUPassive] {}
}

My first thought was to try to filter on DishAngle, but sadly that's where my skill with MM ends. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT:

OK, after some tinkering and help from the IRC chat, I got it working with this line:

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleRTAntenna]:HAS[#DishAngle[*]]]:FINAL

So the final patch would be:

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleRTAntenna]:HAS[#DishAngle[*]]]:FINAL
{
	@MODULE[ModuleRTAntenna]
	{
		@EnergyCost *= 0.50
	}
}

you pasted 2 dishes as opposed as 1 omni and 1 dish

I would go with this one, it's a bit cleaner and less likely to break on weird parts

Thank you, I will give that a look. Don't I need a :HAS[ModuleRTAntenna] though? Or will that find that module anywhere in the part hierarchy?

if the patch doesn't find a MODULE that fits this line:

@MODULE[ModuleRTAntenna]:HAS[#DishAngle[*]]

it will just do nothing

... found the error at first try, after your hint...
(Note for myself: remember always to close any parenthesis opened in a part list )

I want to add something at the end of a key, specifically resources to a FuelSwitch config.



@PART[*]:HAS[@RESOURCE[Ore],#category[FuelTank],MODULE[InterstellarFuelSwitch],!MODULE[ProceduralPart]]:AFTER[SimpleConstruction] {
	@MODULE[InterstellarFuelSwitch]
	{
		@resourceGui = Ore;Metal;RocketParts;Uraninite;rich.Uranium;depl.Uranium
		@resourceNames = Ore;Metal;RocketParts;Uraninite;EnrichedUranium;DepletedUranium
		@resourceAmounts = #$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$
	}
}

But without reusing the full lines.
I am currently guessing:



@resourceGui = #$resourceGui$;Uraninite;rich.Uranium;depl.Uranium
@resourceNames = #$resourceNames$;Uraninite;EnrichedUranium;DepletedUranium
@resourceAmounts = #$resourceAmounts$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$

Also, can I write all this in one single line to comment it out all at once like so?



// @resourceGui = #$resourceGui$;Uraninite;rich.Uranium;depl.Uranium @resourceNames = #$resourceNames$;Uraninite;EnrichedUranium;DepletedUranium @resourceAmounts = #$resourceAmounts$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$

Or would I have to use some kind of divider/are the line breaks necessary?

No insight anybody?

Line breaks are essential. They (and comments) mark the end of each key value pair.

Your syntax looks about right although I'm not sure what you're trying to add since Uranite etc. are already in the first snippet (unless the first snippet is a combination of original patch plus desired changes)

Anyway here's a simplified test case I tried focusing just on modifying the lists:

Spoiler


DUMMYNODE
{
	RESOURCE
	{
		name = Ore
		maxAmount = 100
	}
	
	TESTOBJECT
	{
		labels = one;two;three
		values = 200;200;200
	}
}

@DUMMYNODE:FINAL
{
	@TESTOBJECT
	{
		@labels = #$labels$;four;five
		@values = #$values$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$;$../RESOURCE[Ore]/maxAmount$
	}
}

and the result from ModuleManager.ConfigCache


DUMMYNODE
{
	RESOURCE
  	{
		name = Ore
		maxAmount = 100
  	}
	TESTOBJECT
	{
		labels = one;two;three;four;five
		values = 200;200;200;100;100
	}
}

I have to confess, I have been quite ignorant about the ModuleManager.ConfigCache - could have saved all of us some time.

In what way do you think MM glitches solar panels?

It doesn't glitch your solar panels. But maybe you have a Module Manager patch that is changing your solar panels. It's not going to be possible for anyone to help you though without a lot more information: detailed description of the problem, log files (uploaded to an appropriate site such as Dropbox) and maybe your ModuleManager.ConfigCache file.

How do I target and double a value in a key if there are many?

keyA = 100;100;100;100;100

Is there a way to change the third value to be double?

keyA= 100;100;200;100;100

Also, can I target it depending on another key?

keyB = AAA;BBB;CCC;DDD;EEE
keyA = 100;100;100;100;100

So, check position of CCC and double value in same position at keyA?

keyB = AAA;BBB;CCC;DDD;EEE
keyA = 100;100;200;100;100

And while we are at it, what if I wanted to change CCC afterwards into FFF?

Edited July 29, 2017 by KerbMav

Starwaster · July 29, 2017

@KerbMav

keyA[0,;] to target the first element of keyA... keyA[1,;] to target the second element. Usually it would be keyA[0] but your delimiter is a semicolon so it's keyA[0,;] (see the comma followed by semicolon? to signalize that a semicolon is the delimiter being used)

no and yes

no you can't check the position of CCC

yes you can get to the result you want,

what you need to do is check if the first element is CCC

if not, move the first element from each list at the end and loop the patch

when the first element is CCC you edit the value on the second list

then you keep moving elements at the end untill you have done a full "lap"

it's a lot complicated, so unless you know what you're doing with MM I'd advise against it

... ... ... naaaahh ...

I get what you are saying, but I would have no clue how to do it in MM - I am still forgetting (after all these years) basic syntax and stuff, having to compare to old working patches whenever I start something new, so I really shouldn't get into this.

@Starwaster made my work a lot easier though.

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[FSfuelSwitch]:HAS[#resourceNames[MetallicOre;Uraninite;Substrate;Minerals;Karbonite;ExoticMinerals,RareMetals;MaterialKits;Metals;Polymers;Supplies;Ore;Machinery;Recyclables;SpecializedParts;Fertilizer;Hydrates;Gypsum;Dirt;Silicates;Silicon;RefinedExotics;ColonySupplies;Organics;Rock]]]
{
	@MODULE[FStextureSwitch2]
	{
		@textureDisplayNames[7,;] = Metal
		@textureDisplayNames[13,;] = RocketParts
	}
	
	@MODULE[FSfuelSwitch]
	{
		@resourceNames[7,;] = Metal
		@resourceNames[13,;] = RocketParts
	}	
}

//  0 MetallicOre
//  1 Uraninite
//  2 Substrate
//  3 Minerals
//  4 Karbonite
//  5 ExoticMinerals,RareMetals
//  6 MaterialKits
//  7 Metals

//  9 Supplies

// 16 Gypsum
// 17 Dirt
// 18 Silicates
// 19 Silicon
// 20 RefinedExotics
// 21 ColonySupplies
// 22 Organics
// 23 Rock

My next problem deals with editing all values in a key at once.

tankCost = 225280;89600;38400;102400;40960;19200000;256000;1822720;1024000;320000;512;2022400;896000;4096000;256000;64000;1280;38400;1280;2560;32000000;1920000;64000;64000
basePartMass = 16

@tankCost,*[1,;] = #$basePartMass$
@tankCost[*] *= 5000

It does something, but I am getting negative values and values that shouldn't be there.

I have difficulties wrapping my head around Sarbians explanation. Some of these seem to be the same - at least for my limited understanding of code magic.

@key,* = xxx
applies to all presents key value

@key[1] += 1
will apply the math to the 2nd component in a comma separated vector.
"key = 0,1,0,1" will be " key = 0,2,0,1"

@key[*] += 1
will add 1 to all elements of the vector.
"key = 1,2,3,4" will be changed to "key = 2,3,4,5"

@key,*[1, ] += 1
will do it on all the key

This sort of pain in editing comma/simicolon separated lists is exactly why I created B9PartSwitch

I think part of what confused me in these examples to begin with is that it's mixing two types of indexing. The first example is about modifying multiple lines that all have the same key name

key = value1
key = value2
key = value3

Then the next two lines are about modifying specific parts of a single line with multiple values (sarbian calls this a vector in the explanations following each example which to me were clear enough)

Finally the last example does both and just to make things more unobvious is doing it on a set of space separated vectors (without actually mentioning thats what the comma space in the brackets is for)

key = value1 value2 value3
key = value4 value5 value6
key = value7 value8 value9

KerbMav · July 30, 2017

Turns out my patch works just fine (now, after already forgetting what Starwaster told me).

@tankCost[*,;] = 5000
@tankCost[*,;] *= #$basePartMass$

But FSfuelSwitch must do something else that kerbs it afterwards.
