Beginner coding modules

[Capt. Hunt]

I've been doing some tweaking, of modules here and there, and I know a little C++ coding, I'd like to start my first serious mod from scratch, and I need a little help.

The mod I'd like to do is a config file to change all the part costs of the FASA Saturn parts (this is just for personal use for now, I'll ask Frizzank before I ever release it.) and I'd like to do it so that all the changed prices are in one file to make it easier to tweak them as needed, and also so that I don't have to redo it if Frizzank updates FASA.

I guess what I'd like to know is what calls I need to use to point to the cost lines in each part file.

Your best bet is to script it and let Module Manager do the work for you. All the documentation you need is right there in sarbian's thread.

You just Making a MM for it ? can't you just

PART[WHAT PART]:HAS[entryCost[]]

{

entryCost = *****

}

[Capt. Hunt]

thanks, that's pretty much what I was looking for, I just asked because I did a quick search and couldn't find any MM tutorials.

[Capt. Hunt]

ok, so I used the code MeCripp posted (subbing the right part name and cost variable), but it doesn't change the prices of any of the parts I changed.

PART[FASAApollo_CM]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 3800
//default cost = 3800
} 
PART[FASAApollo_CM_Decoupler]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 700
//default cost = 1000
} 
PART[FASAApollo_CM_HeatShield
]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 1000
//default cost = 1000
} 
PART[FASAApollo_CM_parachutes]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 2500
//default cost = 5000
} 
PART[FASAApollo_CM_RCS]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 500
//default cost = 500
} 
PART[FASAApollo_CM_Top]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 300
//default cost = 300
} 
PART[FASAApollo_DockingDevice]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 500
//default cost = 1500
} 
PART[FASAApollo_LES]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 900
//default cost = 900
}
PART[FASAApollo_SM]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 3000
//default cost = 30000
} 
PART[FASAApollo_SM_Dish]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 1100
//default cost = 1100
} 
PART[FASAApollo_SM_Engine]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 1200
//default cost = 12000
} 
PART[FASAApollo_SM_Light]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 100
//default cost = 100
} 
PART[FASAApollo_SM_RCS]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 550
//default cost = 750
} 
PART[FASALEM-CSM_deployment]:HAS[cost[]]
{
cost = 1000
//default cost = 3000
}

Whoops

@PART[WHAT PART]

{

%entryCost = *****

}

Hope you added the @

EDiT- Did not catch it when, I posted.

EDIT- So

@PART[FASAApollo_CM]
{
%cost = 3800
//default cost = 3800
} 
@PART[FASAApollo_CM_Decoupler]
{
%cost = 700
//default cost = 1000
} 
@PART[FASAApollo_CM_HeatShield
]
{
%cost = 1000
//default cost = 1000
} 
@PART[FASAApollo_CM_parachutes]
{
%cost = 2500
//default cost = 5000
} 
@PART[FASAApollo_CM_RCS]
{
%cost = 500
//default cost = 500
} 
@PART[FASAApollo_CM_Top]
{
%cost = 300
//default cost = 300
} 
@PART[FASAApollo_DockingDevice]
{
%cost = 500
//default cost = 1500
} 
@PART[FASAApollo_LES]
{
%cost = 900
//default cost = 900
}
@PART[FASAApollo_SM]
{
%cost = 3000
//default cost = 30000
} 
@PART[FASAApollo_SM_Dish]
{
%cost = 1100
//default cost = 1100
} 
@PART[FASAApollo_SM_Engine]
{
%cost = 1200
//default cost = 12000
} 
@PART[FASAApollo_SM_Light]
{
%cost = 100
//default cost = 100
} 
@PART[FASAApollo_SM_RCS]
{
%cost = 550
//default cost = 750
} 
@PART[FASALEM-CSM_deployment]
{
%cost = 1000
//default cost = 3000
}

Tested and works

That's also missing an operator for cost[]

Do you mean ~cost[] perhaps? That will find things that don't have costs.

He is wanting to change so % ?

EDIT- If #6 post don't work which it should

@PART[FASAApollo_CM]

{

%cost = 800 <--------- change for test

//default cost = 3800

}

This works and have tested Edited November 11, 2014 by Mecripp2

MeCripp: I'm talking about the HAS block. HAS needs an operator: # for has, ~ for doesn't-have.

If you plan to use % however, why are you using HAS at all?

Thought sarbian said % did work there ? and ~ just checks if it's missing ? and I have ran them pretty much just as, I posted #6.

EDIT- Sorry Capt. Hunt try'ed to make that harder then it was post #6 as been tested and works.

EDIT- Thanks NathanKell your right as always
