ModuleTestSubject

[nli2work]

I've been seeing this in various squad and mod parts since .24... what is it and what does it do?

    MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleTestSubject

        // nowhere: 0, srf: 1, ocean: 2, atmo: 4, space: 8
        environments = 7

        useStaging = True
        useEvent = True
    }

It means that part can be used for contract testing I think.

Yep, only parts with that module will be selected. If you have an agency named to exactly match the manufacturer = whatever entry in the part.cfg, then that agency will offer the contract. I'm not sure what happens if there is no matching agency - it may not be offered as a test, or it may get a random agency.

The environments switch:

Tells you what locations the test can be generated for (IE landed, splashed down, in flight, in orbit, etc) - you basically "add up" the numbers for the locations you want enabled.

0 = no locations

1 = surface only (landed)

2 = ocean only (splashed down)

3 = surface or ocean

4 = atmosphere only (in flight at some random altitude/speed)

5 = surface or atmosphere

6 = ocean or atmosphere

7 = atmosphere, ocean, or surface

8 = space only

9 = surface or space

10 = ocean or space

11 = surface, ocean, or space

12 = atmosphere or space

13 = surface, atmosphere, or space

14 = ocean, atmosphere, or space

15 = surface, ocean, atmosphere, or space (AKA everything)

useStaging = True -- test is activated by staging the part - part must be stage-able normally, otherwise use Event

useEvent = True -- test is activated by right-clicking on the part and choosing the test option. Staged parts can be tested this way in lieu of staging them.

Not sure what happens if you enable both of them.

Ah I see. Thanks!
