[0.25] PartArranger 1.2 - Arrange your part list however you want!

Recommended Posts

PartArranger allows you to sort the VAB/SPH part list any way you want. By default, it attaches to Blizzy's toolbar if it's installed, or the stock toolbar otherwise. You can tell it which toolbar to use in config.txt (generated after you enter the VAB/SPH for the first time). Fully compatible with PartCatalog.

When you are in either the VAB or the SPH, click the toolbar icon (two arrows, one facing up and one facing down) to show or hide the window. Select a category, then select a part in the list to move. Then click one of the buttons on the right to move it up, down, or to the top or bottom of the category. If you hold the up/down button for a second, it'll start quickly moving the part up or down. You can also move parts up or down by dragging them with the cursor.

You can resize the window by dragging the bottom edge of the window up or down. You can lock the window in place and disable resizing by clicking on the padlock icon in the top-right corner.

Removing a part mod will not break anything and won't alter the order of other parts. Newly added parts will appear at the end of their categories.

Installation

Place the PartArranger folder inside of Kerbal Space Program/GameData. Load up the VAB or SPH once to generate a default configuration file at Kerbal Space Program/GameData/PartArranger/config.txt. See below for possible configuration options.

Config File Values

Note: you must load up the VAB or SPH to generate config.txt for the first time

  • WindowX: saved horizontal window position
  • WindowY: saved vertical window position
  • WindowHeight: saved window height
  • WindowLocked: whether the window is currently locked
  • WindowShown: whether the window is currently shown
  • HidePlugin: if true, hides the plugin entirely and only applies sorting
  • UseBlizzyToolbar: if true, adds a button to Blizzy's Toolbar instead of KSP's default toolbar if available
  • Everything else: a sorted list of every part

Would it be possible for you to also release a .dll that removes the toolbar settings? I'd love to create an order and then have it be there forever, without having a toolbar icon that I won't use.

It would be easy to add a config value to hide the toolbar button completely. I'll add that in tonight or tomorrow :)

This looks like a must-have addon. Trying it out right now.

Edit: yes, a mod I don't want to live without anymore.

small idea:

- make rearranging via Drag-and-Drop possible

Released v1.1

Changelog:

  • New config value: HidePlugin. If true, the plugin is hidden entirely in-game but sorting is still applied. Good for when you've got your sorting set up but don't want the extra toolbar button anymore.

Tried installing this but it isn't creating a config file for me.

Output and KSP logs here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8zteqzdg3g3qxvc/KSP.zip?dl=0

Note, this is my test install, so hardly any mods.

Hmm... I'll look into it.

I am having the same issue. I looked for the editor that you talked about but could not find it.

The editor just means either the VAB or the SPH.

Okay, I fixed the problem with the config file not generating, so...

Released v1.1.1

Changelog:

  • Fixed resizing still being possible even when the window isn't visible
  • Fixed major bug where the plugin doesn't work at all if config.txt doesn't exist

Thanks for the update! Might want to update the original post with the new link :) It's still for just 1.1.

awesome mod!

Is there a chance to edit or add new categories? for example i have too many parts on utility tab. I want to divide it into 3 different categories. i tried part catalog mod. but i'm really having trouble configuring tags (i don't know how to do it).

While that'd be really nice, I don't have a clue how I would implement it, and even if I did I think it'd be a while before it got implemented anyway, since it'd pretty much double the scope of the plugin. But still a good suggestion!

Wow, this is basically the best thing ever.

I've forever been frustrated with the parts list organization and I always wanted something just like this. I've resorted to retitling folder names and such to help order parts how I want. And the other mods that help edit the parts list just don't have this functionality.

Automatically one of my 'must haves' now.
