[1.3.0] Filter Extensions 3.0.4 (Jul 11)

[Crzyrndm]

Well, that one will get dumped (twice) because it has nothing in it. The first time because it doesn't have any subcategories listed, the second time because it doesn't have any subcategories listed with parts in them

CATEGORY
{
    name = Literally Nothing
    icon = SPD
    colour = #FFF0F0F0
    all = true

    SUBCATEGORIES
    {
        list = Pods
    }
}

Hum. Okay. More advanced one it is, then. Also, it would be great if it turned out I don't actually need all the initial filters. I wanted this one to modify the KAS & KIS node via modulemanager but that wasn't working either, so that's why I'm completely recreating it.

EDIT: Whoops. Nevermind, now I understand what you were saying about needing subcategories.

{
name = KAS and KIS Compatible
icon = KAS
colour = #FFF0F0F0
all = true

FILTER
{
CHECK

type = folder
value = KIS, KAS, KISFunParts

}
FILTER
{
name = evaToolsBomb

value = ModuleKISItemBomb

}
FILTER
{
name = evaToolsAttachers

value = ModuleKISItemAttachTool
}
}
FILTER
{

type = moduleName
value = ModuleKISItemEvaPropellant
}
}
FILTER
{
name = KISInventories
CHECK
{

}
}

SUBCATEGORY
{

Noticed a thing

[SSMI]

So I am having a little trouble sorting fuel tanks that have interstellar fuel switch on them. Is there a way to sort these by available fuel type?

I was doing a Category=FuelTank and Resource=XXXX for a couple different subcategories. My plan is break tanks into Lf/O, Lf, any H2 and others (such as Argon and Xenon).

Thanks for the help.

[Crzyrndm]

At this stage, no, you can't interrogate non-stock modules for internal values.

[SSMI]

Thats a shame. I wanted to separate tanks by resource.

One more question mod related. Both infernal robotics and kis add subcategories to filter by function. Is there a way to remove those?

I am already using

name = Filter by Function    
type = stock
value = replace

with a set of sub categories.

[Crzyrndm]

Just add the names of them to a node like this one: https://github.com/Crzyrndm/FilterExtension/blob/master/GameData/000_FilterExtensions%20Configs/Default/NamesAndIcons.cfg#L27

[SSMI]

Hmmm. That didn't really work for me. The two subcategories I am trying to hide are "Robotic Parts" from Infernal Robotics and its Rework and then EVA Items from KIS. I am also having a hard time getting all the parts in these categories to show up elsewhere.

I should just be able to add remove = Robotic Parts and then the same for EVA Items right?

[DaniDE]

Hi there, has anyone done ready-to-use filter configs for Necrobones awesome mods, namely SpaceY Heavy Lifters and Fuel Tanks Plus ? And maybe (I know, I know, I´m hoping too much probably here) a config to add a cargo/service bay category so you dont have to browse the full aero categories? (Or maybe call it "shielding" or "protection" and put fairings, heat shields and the aforementioned cargo/service bays in there?)

If so, please share or just pm me if you want it to be super secret and exclusive

Many thanks

Edited July 9, 2015 by DaniDE

[Crzyrndm]

Cargobay subcategory is already defined and used in the aero category. You can add it to Filter by Function with

@CATEGORY[Filter?by?Function]
{
@SUBCATEGORIES
{
list = Cargo Bay
}
}

Configs for Necrobones work in what way? A category of their own?

CATEGORY
{
    name = <A Name To use>
    icon = <insert Icon Name>
    colour = #FFF0F0F0
    all = true

    FILTER
    {
        CHECK
        {
            type = folder
            value = SpaceY, FuelTanksPlus,...
        }
    }

    SUBCATEGORIES
    {
        list = 0,Pods
        list = 1,Fuel Tanks
        list = 2,Engines
        list = 3,Command and Control
        list = 4,Structural
        list = 5,Aerodynamics
        list = 6,Utility
        list = 7,Science
    }
}

[DaniDE]

Well that was quick. Yeah, especially SpaceY has gotten so enormous that it needs its own category IMHO. Thanks, I´ll put those in my configs

Edit: Actually, including SpaceY category was really enough. Thank you Necrobones for providing icons earlier in the thread

CATEGORY:NEEDS[Tantares]

The main category shows up, but the only subcategory that appears (other than #0 to #7 which of course show up) is #14 "Misc" and that one contains parts that are not in the Misc folder. Is it supposed to be possible to create folder filters that are deeper than the root directory?

[Crzyrndm]

you want "path", not "folder" type checks (and add an '/' to each value to signify a complete folder name IIRC). Folder is root directory only, path is full depth. Misc will have extra parts if you have the stock rework folder because it has the same name as one I've defined and the collision mechanic is to make both sets of parts visible

Derp! Fantastic! Thanks. Fixing now...

All of the KIS/KAS parts are not showing up for me when I click the "KAS" button. The items that are missing can only be found under "EVA items" (screwdriver, wrench, etc.). Would changing the "type=folder" to "type=path" in Mod_KAS-KIS.cfg fix this? Or is there something else going on here?

[Pronoes]

Is it possible to filter a category then invert a subcategory contrary to what the category filter is?

Example

Category - Filter by function

filter check title=non ro invert = true

Subcategory - non ro

filter check title=non ro

Subcategory - non ro

filter check title=non ro

filter
{
    check

        type = category
        value
    }
    check
    {
        type = subcategory
        value
        invert = true
    }
}

Something similar to the above should work for you. Parts have to match all checks within the same filter. They only have to match any one filter if there are multiple filters.

Programming wise it works with multiple filters have ORs between them. Multiple checks have ANDs between them.

[Crzyrndm]

Or is there something else going on here?

That sounds very fishy, and shouldn't have anything to do with the check type used. IIRC, the parts you say are missing are the ones set as "category = none" which shouldn't be an issue but I'll have to give it a sharp poke...

Update: This will be fixed for 2.3.1

If you have a template added to the category, there is currently no way to exclude a subcategory from receiving that template. I'll make a note to add that option

Brilliant.

I excluded all non RO parts from the Filter by Function category, then realised I couldn't access them at all, even with a sub category dedicated to non RO parts, because the category filter filtered them first. I thought it would be easier to do it like that, rather than add a non RO exclusion filter to every sub category (especially since I don't know where some of the sub category configs are from some mods - not experienced enough tbh).

I worked around it by adding a new category for non RO stuff.

The option to exclude a sub category probably won't get used that much, but for the people who would use it, I feel it would be very useful so Kudos to you!

[Crzyrndm]

especially since I don't know where some of the sub category configs are from some mods - not experienced enough tbh

If you're referring to ones like the subcategories added by realchutes, IR, KAS/KIS, Hangar, etc., You can't find them because they are hard coded additions by those mod makers. FE can't actually do anything to them

[Gaalidas]

Hey, quick question. Can a mod category reference a pair of icons that are located in a different location than the ones shipped with the mod? If not, would it be possible to add a field where I could tell it what base path to use when searching for the icon name in my mod category config?

[Crzyrndm]

Any location that KSP loads automatically is valid. The only restriction is the sizing (between 25 and 40 px)

[NotTim]

Please forgive the possibly stupid question, but with the default config setup I there doesn't seem to be a main category for fuel tanks. This seems to be a pretty important gap.

Looking at the config files I see 01_Kerbonauts.cfg, 02_Engines.cfg and then 04_Structural.cfg. Is there a missing 03_Fuel.cfg?

[Crzyrndm]

The stock resources category covers the different fuel tanks (with some modifications to the subcategories)

[Gaalidas]

Any location that KSP loads automatically is valid. The only restriction is the sizing (between 25 and 40 px)

So, can I simply reference the icon by name, or do I need to provide a gamedata-relative path to the icon to use? Normally I would simply ship with the folder structure for this mod in the archive containing just the added icons and the config, but this isn't my mod, at least not fully. I contribute heavily to Kerbal Foundries and I'd like to provide a category config with our next release, but convincing lo-fi to reorganize how his archive is structured is easier said than done, so I'm looking to simply stick a config for this mod into the same folder where we have our part configs, and reference the icon (and it's associated "selected" icon) in our Assets folder.

[Crzyrndm]

Just the icon name. So long as it's a unique name and not inside a special folder like PluginData, it should be found without issue (just don't use DDS format and don't use a generic file name like "icon")
