Toggling Decals in Save Files

[Commander Zoom]

I understand that you can set whether a given module displays a mission flag / decal in the VAB. But what about craft that are already launched? What's the variable that I need to edit in the persistence and/or quicksave files?

Well, I solved this one myself. Here are the details.

Find the ship/part you want to edit. Then scroll down in the file until you find the following section:

				MODULE
				{
					name = FlagDecal
					isEnabled = True
					[b]flagDisplayed = True[/b]
					EVENTS
					{
						ToggleFlag
						{
							active = True
							guiActive = False
							guiActiveEditor = True
							guiIcon = ToggleFlag
							guiName = ToggleFlag
							category = ToggleFlag
							guiActiveUnfocused = False
							unfocusedRange = 2
							externalToEVAOnly = True
						}
					}
					ACTIONS
					{
					}
				}

This section should be automatically added for every craft and part that you've actually looked at/loaded; if it doesn't appear, copy and paste the above code block, usually above the Trip Logger section. The bolded line is the one you want to set to either true or false.

Those who are more adventurous than I might try tweaking the GUI parameters, to make the decal toggleable in flight, but that was more than I needed.

You could probably change guiActive to True and it would be toggleable in flight.
