[0.23] ActionGroupManager (AGM) 1.3.2.0 (29/01/2014) : bugfixes

[Amaroq]

Suggestion -- can you add a "rename" feature, e.g., so that I can rename "Custom01" to provide my own descriptive name for that action group?

Suggestion -- for a feature like "context edit", you may want to load from a saved config file, users who don't want it can unlink it from the menu, those who do want it can keep it. Or, see the way Kerbal Engineer Redux handles its "Settings" menu for inspiration.

does this mod function in 23.5?

I caught myself using it more in 23.5 than before. It works as advertised.

[MrWizerd]

Thanks for letting me know

Smooth sailing in the sea of stars...

[jinks]

Since the slowdown on vessel crash got on my nerves, I mucked around in the code a bit.

Here's a hotfix package. Just overwrite the current AGM.

All I did was wrap the whole SetupRoot() function in a try/catch block. Not elegant, but it saves me from understanding the problem in detail

[evilC]

Does this mod help you deal with the KSP bug where removing a part that has symmetry enabled and re-attaching it breaks all the action groups?

@jinks: Is there any way you could comment out the right-click-menu stuff, too?

[macdjord]

So, it does appear that this mod is not under active development anymore. Are there any other, similar mods that are? Preferably with a better interface? (Modal buttons! When nothing is selected, the 'Group 1' button selects everything currently assigned to group 1 - but if anything at all is selected, the same button instead assigns that to group 1, over-writing anything already there!)

I'd like to second this request!

[Mista Mista]

i have unzipped the contents, merged the folders, but i don't get any 'enable agm' button?

i use to use actions on the fly. that's not available anymore.

i can not get this to work. any suggestions?

[Apollo13]

Not everything had or requires the Enable AGM button. I never have to use it anyway. I'm using KSP 0.23.5 and it works perfectly. I also previously used "Actions on the Fly". This mod is better.

Did some quick testing (nothing exhaustive), and this still seems to work fine with 0.24.

Excellent, thanks for the testing.

I can confirm this. This was like the only mod I use that was totally unaffected so far.

For those who want to get rid of the unneccessary rightclick-menu stuff, and who know how to edit C# and compile it - here's how to do it:

1. There's a file called lightweightuinew.cs or similarily named. It contains all the rightclick stuff. Find the initialize function in it. From there, tell your IDE to find references: You'll find that it is initialized in ActionGroupManager.cs: Three consecutive codelines. This is the ONLY reference to lightweightuinew.cs. Otherwise, it is entirely selfcontained.

2. This means that once you deleted the init call from AGM, you can simply delete the entire lightweightuinew.cs file, since nothing references it anymore.

3. Go ahead and compile. There's nothing else to do.

[Oinker]

And for those of us who don't want to get a compiler and editor we can still beg of the author and others (if license permits) to remove the right-click stuff. The toggle on the toolbar is great. And for the truly adventurous coder, the Unity Smoke menu would top it off.

[Fraz86]

The license is WTFPL, so it's basically public domain. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could share a modified version of the plugin without the right click menu feature.

Just replace existing dll with this one

[MartGonzo]

I installed this mod yesterday to get around the damned right click issue.

I just thought you would like to know that it works perfectly in 24.2 x64 with no issues at all

[MaxShadow]

Could anyone reupload the right clic fix please?

[Tw1]

Anyone interested in reviving this? It has quite a permissive licence.

The GUI is well designed, though words are getting lost out the side. It is also not letting me use the same action group for multiple things- I attempt to set one pair of engines to custom02, but it removes them when I attempt to add the next pair.

I'm working on it, but it should work anyway as is. You just have to scroll around. It's a bit irritating, I know.

As for multiple things, the UI has always been a bit backward from what you expect in the VAB. You build the group actions first, then click the group number to assign them after your done. It should still function.

I've got a few small feature I want to add to it though, been thinking about it for a while now and decided to start a few days ago.

Awesome. I look forward to seeing improvements.

I seem to have achieved what I wanted, though the GUI was not as straightforward as it seemed...

I use this quite a while now with 0.25, no problems or bugs detected.

Works perfect, like it did in past versions!

I use it without issues as well, but it does need an update. Some things have changed in KSP that makes the window too small as mentioned above so you have to scroll around, also it was last updated prior to the App Launcher so I'm going to make that happen. I also plan to make the tweakables optional as SirJulio had wanted to do.

It is going to get a new name, because that is just about the only requirement of the license.
