[1.8.x-1.12.x] Module Manager 4.2.3 (July 03th 2023) - Fireworks season

[Styles2304]

Looks like you just need to replace the second and third @ with either nothing or a %. @ is used to edit existing modules and things, no prefix would just create them, and a % would edit if they exist or create if they don't. PART[turboFanEngine] doesn't seem to have a MODEL, so there's nothing to edit with @.

Does this work? Not sure if you have to do anything with a scale value or the mesh though...

@PART[turboFanEngine]
{
    %MODEL
    {
        %model = Squad/Parts/Engine/jetEngineBasic/model.mu
    }
}

When I try this, it removes the part from the VAB completely. I also tried:

@PART[turboFanEngine]{
    -mesh = delete


    %MODEL {
        %model = Squad/Parts/Engine/jetEngineBasic/model.mu
    }
}

AND

@PART[turboFanEngine]{
    !mesh = DELETE


    %MODEL {
        %model = Squad/Parts/Engine/jetEngineBasic/model.mu
    }
}

ALSO

@PART[turboFanEngine]{
    @mesh = Squad/Parts/Engine/jetEngineBasic/model.mu

    %MODEL {
        %model = Squad/Parts/Engine/jetEngineBasic/model.mu
    }
}

I wouldn't think this would be a difficult thing lol.

Weird. Have you also tried not either prefix @ or % except for @PART[...]?

Edit:

Actually, try what you just tried before, but don't include ".mu" with the file path.

[Styles2304]

Ah! That did it! Is there an explanation for this?

[NathanKell]

Yes. Asset URLs have their extension stripped when added to the database. So textures and models are referred to by URLs without extension.

[Twinkee]

Still struggling with this

 @PART
[*]:HAS[@MODULE[FAR*]]:NEEDS[!FAR]:FINAL        
{ 
     !MODULE[FAR*],* {}    
} 

it throws errors. Help please.

[NathanKell]

Um, why would you want to do that? They'll just be ignored by the game on load (as all MODULEs that point to non-existant-in-code PartModules are).

[Twinkee]

I didn't know that. I am trying to remove stuff that I thought might clog things up with "not recognised" errors.

[Sokar408]

For some reason, nothing of these seem to work.

// Adds difficulty multiplier to science lab

@PART[Large_Crewed_Lab]
{
	@MODULE[ModuleScienceConverter]
	{
		@scienceMultiplier *= 0.3
	}
}

when that didn't work, I tried:

// Adds difficulty multiplier to science lab

@PART[Large_Crewed_Lab]
{
	@MODULE[ModuleScienceConverter]
	{
		@scienceMultiplier = 1.5
	}
}

In fact not even change the actual value in the part config itself seems to do a thing. No matter what I try, in order to make my science multiplier apply to the lab, fails. Does anyone know, or have a guess as to why?

Share a log?

Not to be too obvious but I have seen this a couple times on this board. Are you sure you are editing and running the same KSP? I have seen people edit things in one KSP folder and run a shortcut that refers to a different KSP folder.

You are editing the files in GameData right? You're not duplicating the part file right?

Less likely delete your MM cache.

Turns out its because its an integer. So when MM did its thing, it made a decimal, and when I changed it in the file itself, it it was also a decimal, which doesn't work. Stupid integer

[Styles2304]

I don't know if this has been covered before but can module manager manipulate VESSELs? I was going to attempt ship specific jet engines.

[JDCollie]

Could anyone point me to some documentation for the RDNode config node? I've looked through the original post and the wiki, but I didn't see anything. (Sorry if this is somewhere obvious and I just missed it)

The reason I ask is I am trying to make a cfg that creates a node if ModOrientedTechTree is present. I've made the following cfg, and placed it in GameData/MyCFG/ but it doesn't seem to work.

@Techtree:NEEDS[ModOrientedTechTree]
{
	RDNode
	{
		id = cryogenics
		title = Cryogenics
		description =  Tired of Jeb stealing all the snacks on deep space missions? The boys at R&D have come up with some better options than padlocking the snack cupboard.
		cost = 1000
		hideEmpty = False
		nodeName = df_cryogenics
		anyToUnlock = False
		icon = RDicon_largeVolumeContainment
		pos = -885,800,-1
		scale = 0.6
		Parent
		{
			parentID = largeLifeSupport
			lineFrom = RIGHT
			lineTo = LEFT
		}
		Parent
		{
			parentID = lifeSupportConverters
			lineFrom = RIGHT
			lineTo = LEFT
		}
	}
}
@PART[cryofreezer]:NEEDS[ModOrientedTechTree]
{
	@TechRequired = cryogenics
}
@PART[GlykerolTankRadial]:NEEDS[ModOrientedTechTree]
{
	@TechRequired = cryogenics
}

If anyone can see any obvious errors (of which there are likely many, because I don't actually know what I am doing >.> ) please point them out.

:EDIT:

Nevermind, I got it working

I'm trying to duplicate a node and then edit both of them.

For example something like that:

$MODULE[ModuleEnginesFX]
@MODULE[ModuleEnginesFX],0
{
  @heatProduction = 1
}
@MODULE[ModuleEnginesFX],1
{
  @heatProduction = 2
}

Doesn't seem to duplicate the node at all (looking at the part database in the debug console), so where am I taking a wrong turn?

[sarbian]

$MODULE[ModuleEnginesFX] {}

[marce]

$MODULE[ModuleEnginesFX] {}

Ahh!

Curse me and thank you!

[seanth]

I'm seeing odd results when I reload the database. Specifically, I'm seeing parts flash in the sky, with one part remaining stuck in the sky

I'm not sure whether this is a problem with reloading the database, or how I have structured the cfg. I have placed an example copy of one of the cfg files I write for MM ahttps://www.dropbox.com/s/dcimbg9a0mewv1g/Easy.cfg?dl=0

[sarbian]

When the DB reload it also rebuild the PartDatabase.cfg drag info. To do that the game takes 6 screenshots of all part in a special texture on the load screen (Index 4 on the texture index on the loading screen, quite fun to watch). It seems it uses on of the sky texture to do that while in the spacecenter screen. AFAIK it should not change a thing for the game.

Edit : with the last MM you have a "quick reload" button in that menu that skips the PartDatabase.cfg rebuilding.

Edit2: err, no it is on my disk only. Next version

Version 2.6.6

- Add a Quick Reload for ALT F11 menu (skip PartDatabase.cfg generation)

- Ignore the cache (and force a PartDatabase.cfg generation) on KSP version change

Downloads :

ModuleManager.2.6.6.dll

ModuleManager-2.6.6.zip

- Ignore the cache (and force a PartDatabase.cfg generation) on KSP version change

Oh wow man, thanks for the quick response on that.

One additional question: if there is no cache (as in the first time ModuleManager runs), does it force generation of PartDatabase.cfg as well? That's the one potential area left I could see things going wonky.

[sarbian]

it does

[FlowerChild]

it does

Awesome. Thanks again!

[maculator]

So I have a question too, hope somebody arround here can help me:

I just want to change the texture of my Mk1 chute, so i thought i skip the texturereplacer thing...

But im stuck (im a noob too)

The fairings (wich i used ase a test) were easy to do since their ModuleProceduralFairing got a TextureURL wich I managed to adress, even with my low skills. But how could i do this with a PART or MODULE wich does not have a TextureURL?

Simply adding one didnt help much and there are two textures model000 and model001..

So does anyone know what to add or adress with a patch wich forces it to take my textures instead?

[Sigma88]

I'm going crazy

over this thing, how does the copy-paste syntax work?

this is my situation:

one .cfg file from MOD1 defines this

Module1
{
Module2
{
name = onepointtwo
Module3
{
key1 = 1
key2 = 2
key3 = 3
}
}
}

a cfg file from MOD2 adds this

@Module1:AFTER[MOD1]
{
Module4
{
name = onepointfour
}
}

now, with my mod I want to copy Module3 and all it's keys into Module4

final result should be:

Module1
{
Module2
{
name = onepointtwo
Module3
{
key1 = 1
key2 = 2
key3 = 3
}
}
Module4
{
name = onepointfour
Module3
{
key1 = 1
key2 = 2
key3 = 3
}
}
}

how should I write the cfg?

I was using this, but it doesn't work:

@Module1
{
    @Module4[onepointfour]
    {
        #Module1/Module2/Module3 {}
    }
}

any help would be apreciated

nevermind -.-

had to find the solution just 2 seconds after posting this whole thing....

Edited June 27, 2015 by Sigma88

[Crzyrndm]

Try this

@Module1
{
    @Module4[onepointfour]
    {
        #../Module2[onepointtwo]/Module3 {}
    }
}

That is: go out one node, find the Module2 node with name "onepointtwo" and copy Module3 from it
