[1.3.0] Filter Extensions 3.0.4 (Jul 11)

TK421 · July 23, 2015

Improvement: Added a subcategory override for the global setting "show unpurchased parts"
Improvement: Added custom type filter for unpurchased parts

That's awesome. Thanks.

Crzyrndm · July 23, 2015

After checking many times, I found that this dll is working, with one problem. The above mentioned scenario only happens the first time you enter the VAB. Once you exit the VAB and re-enter, everything is back to normal for the duration of the game. Also wanted to mention that this time neither of the log files contain any errors, only "loading" messages.

Can I get a copy of the log file and the configuration files you are using (all your ones, and which (if any) of the distributed set that have been kept if you're still deleting them). I think I know what's happening, but I still don't know exactly why and I want a hard repro case for it.

TK421 · July 23, 2015

I'm not sure if I'm just doing something wrong, but I can't get the new unpurchased check working. The subcategory just won't show up.

Following an example from a few pages back I added a line to the FilterByFunction config, then created a new config file for my category.

I.e.

SUBCATEGORY{
    name = Unpurchased Parts
    icon = Experiment
    showUnpurchased = true
    FILTER
    {
        CHECK
        {
            type = custom
            value = purchased
            invert = true
        }
    }
}

As a test I implemented the Life Support config, and that all worked fine, both hiding them from "utility", and adding the new category. It just doesn't work with my setup for unpurchased.

I notice in the log:

[Filter Extensions] Unpurchased Parts in category Filter by Function has no valid parts and was not initialised

I thought I'd try capitalising purchased (value=Purchased) in case that was what it was supposed to be, and now at least the parts show up, but I guess the filter is just ignored and the default case is therefore to show everything... Usable, but not ideal.

Capitalise the P in showUnPurchased, I made a typo in the release notes (I should say in the code, that shouldn't be capitalised. It will be lower case for future releases)

Edited July 23, 2015 by Crzyrndm

TK421 · July 23, 2015

I just noticed that (your previous post on it has both variations), and tried adding it that tag to my new lifesupport category, however it still only shows the two purchased parts...

Time to make sure that I actually extracted the new dll...

Crzyrndm · July 23, 2015

No, this one is my problem. I made one too many assumptions

TK421 · July 23, 2015

Hmm, well I tried that variation, then a bunch of others such as 'showunPurchased' and 'ShowUnPurchased' however nothing works...

Do I really need to restart KSP between each config file change, or is there a way to have it rebuild the filter while the game is running?

Crzyrndm · July 23, 2015

Hmm, well I tried that variation, then a bunch of others such as 'showunPurchased' and 'ShowUnPurchased' however nothing works...

Read my last comment. I forgot to add the override field to the internal copy function and so nothing seemed to ever happen when it should. The line should read "showUnpurchased = true"

- - - Updated - - -

Version 2.4.1

Quick patch for missing subcategories
Fix for unpurchased override not being copied and therefore not functioning

TK421 · July 23, 2015

I've updated to version 2.4.1 and I'm pleased to say it fixes the 'showUnpurchased' override.

Unfortunately it seems that inverting the purchased check doesn't work...

I.e. If I have:


SUBCATEGORY
{
	name = Unpurchased Parts
	icon = Experiment
	showUnpurchased = true
	FILTER
	{
		CHECK
		{
			type = custom
			value = purchased
		}
	}
}

it works fine, showing all purchased parts (and turning the global hide unpurchased off, still only shows purchased parts).

However adding invert = true within the check (which following examples appears to be correct) the category isn't initialised.

I.e. this doesn't work:

SUBCATEGORY
{
	name = Unpurchased Parts
	icon = Experiment
	showUnpurchased = true
	FILTER
	{
		CHECK
		{
			type = custom
			value = purchased
			invert = true
		}
	}
}

Whatever you did with 2.4.1 has resolved the issue. I now have no problems with the mod working as intended.

That is really odd since I have an override in to force it to always say it has valid parts (it even shows up in sandbox locally). Is it possible the category you're adding it to is adding some extra filtering?

Working test case

SUBCATEGORY
{
    name = Unpurchased
    showUnpurchased = true
    FILTER
    {
        CHECK
        {
            type = custom
            value = purchased
            invert = true
        }
    }
}

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

TK421 · July 24, 2015

Okay, I tried saving the config you supplied as a new file and it still doesn't work for me. I still get the error "...no valid parts and was not initialised" in the log.

To confirm:

I'm running ksp 1.0.4
I deleted the entire Filter Extensions and config folder from gamedata, then reinstalled the plugin and recommended default configs from CKAN
I have the unpurchased parts config you provided as a new cfg file within 000_FilterExtensions Configs
All the default new configs seem to work fine. I have a bunch of new categories such as B9, KSPI etc with their appropriate subcategories, as well as a bunch of subcategories within filter by function.
Global hideunpurchased is on, though it doesn't seem to make a difference if it's off either.

The config you supplied doesn't have an icon specified. I assume this won't be a problem and it'll display a default instead.

Is there any possibility of a conflict with KIS? I do have that mod, and it adds it's own "EVA Items" subcategory to filterbyfunction, and it ignores the hideunpurchased setting.

Edit: Removed KIS, and no change.

Interestingly landing legs/struts don't appear under landing legs, but I guess the default configs simply don't support kerbokatz's balancing gear.

Tarheel1999 · July 24, 2015

Try without CKAN maybe?

TK421 · July 24, 2015

I think I'd already tried that but could do so again to make sure.

Edit: It still doesn't work even wiping the ckan install, then using the direct kerbalstuff download which also includes "stockrework" configs (which themselves also show up properly).

The weird bit is that it works fine selecting purchased parts, its just when inverted trying to show unpurchased that it doesn't work.

Hi Crzyrndm (tsh, couldn't choose a more simple name ? XD)

I tried your mod yesterday (didn't know it existed, I was about to make one similar ^^') and well ... I would like to know if there is a manual for dummies ?

After using it, it was even more messy than before ... so many categories were added (in filter by functions) and I didn't really like that.

So I would like to know how it works so that I can have something more usable ...

Oh yeah, I deleted one of the folder so that it didn't changed the default filter by functions and was way better, I could use the filter by mod and functions who was what I wanted. But it's true that adding some categories (like wheels ...) could be interesting so ... this is why I'm asking you that ^^

(too lazy to look into the code >.>)

Crzyrndm · July 29, 2015

All the things that make changes are in subdirectories of this folder. The "default" subdirectory is the one containing all the additions to Filter by Function, the rework folder has a different setup for the stock subcategories.

All of the extra categories are individual .cfg's inside the "default" subdirectory. If you don't want it, delete it.

The additional subcategories in Filter by Function are in the StockCategories.cfg (along with the improved cross section and resources categories)

The replacement subcategories in Filter by Function are here. Just remove that folder if you want the stock layout

Filter Extensions uses two root config node types, CATEGORY and SUBCATEGORY

CATEGORY nodes set category name, icon, colour of its subcategories, which subcategories are present and in what order, and can restrict what parts show up in their subcategories using the same syntax as the FE subcategories

SUBCATEGORY nodes do most of the work wrt which parts are actually visible. They only have 4 possible entries: name and icon, "showUnpurchased" to override the plugin setting, and a set of FILTER nodes which decide which parts are visible. The subcategories are referenced by name when setting up a category and can be added to as many categories as you like.

tl;dr

Once you have the name of a subcategory, just add it to the category of choice with a unique position (between 0 and 999. Duplicates will overwrite each other) and enjoy (NOTE: No position also works, it just gets added to the end of the list)

Writing a set of FILTER nodes to get the parts you want:

Using the Electric Charge subcategory as an example, what I was aiming to do was improve on the stock Filter by Resource EC category by removing all the parts that often have a capacity of no significance (eg. engines with an alternator have one because of how the stock resource generation works, but that doesn't help the player looking for a battery)

The parts I wanted must have storage for the resource Electric Charge and must not be a part that only has EC storage as buffer (through experimentation this was determined to be engines, command modules, and generators)

If you're familiar with any programming languages, that would typically be expressed something like this

result = hasResource("ElectricCharge") && !hasModule("ModuleCommand" || "ModuleEngines" || "ModuleEnginesFX" || "ModuleGenerator");

Each CHECK node contains a single condition a part must pass to be visible. Each FILTER contains one set of conditions. If a part passes all the conditions in a FILTER, it will be visible.

Multiple FILTER nodes can be used when required (eg. Manned Command, the KerbalSeat module doesn't have a crew capacity of one or more so it needs to be checked for separately), although the comma separated lists have made that quite rare now

The majority of check types are listed in the first post, and I'll probably get some time this weekend to put together atleast a full listing of them (alternatively, check the code that handles the type)

Thanks for the explanation ... You really did what I had in mind !

And hum well yeah, I'm a dev (that's my actual work ...) so it's probably even easier for me to understand code than text XD

Yeah it's shameless and so what ? >.>

(But I don't really know C#, I know java though ^^)

From what you said, there are points that are bugging me ... as an example, I had a lot of engine in inlets and well ... that's not really their place ! (The engines from firespitter)

I'll look at it when I'll be home.

Oh, I just understood about the replacement / adding things in Fliter by functions XD

So hum well, I'll look at it when home.

If I delete subs that I don't want, will the parts still show elsewhere ?

Hello,

Thank you very much for this development, using this mod and it is very necessary to improve it to make toys Kerbala better.

By installing some other MODs, I discovered that there are no icons mods and when question marks in icons (the manufacturer) was a lot I decided to fix it.

So I made a number of icons, namely those that use mods in the game.

Once I thought that this meters can be useful for those who use the package FilterExtension.

Pack extra icons here.

...
If I delete subs that I don't want, will the parts still show elsewhere ?

1) If engines are showing up in the air intakes subcategory, they must also have a ModuleResourceIntake in the part. You could add an invertedd check to that looking for ModuleEngines and that would stop it (no need to check for EnginesFX any more as it respects inheritance and EnginesFX inherits from Engines)

2) Only if you set them to show up elsewhere. 99% of parts (everything that uses a "category =" field that doesn't end up as none) don't care if they are never seen and are available for any subcategory in any category. Parts that wouldn't normally show in the stock Filter by Function categories ("category = none") it must show up in a subcategory created through code to be visible (the idea being that you change the subcategory definition, not the part to move things around)

I hope it will be useful to someone.

I will see about including these in future versions

Helmut · August 11, 2015

Hi. Mod is now a lot better.

Special thanks for the switch "default to advanced mode".

I have two questions:

Is it possible to work with sub-categories created by other mods? For example, KIS, KAS and USI Kolonization. To move an item from the standard category, or remove from it.

Is it possible to use a filter on the contrary, to exclude the item from the category? In some mods 'category = none' does not help, probably, the item in the desired category is placed by the script.

PS: I did not get to use 'type = check' to select multiple conditions. This only works if set separately 'FILTER {CHECK{...}} FILTER {CHECK{...}}'.

Crzyrndm · August 11, 2015

1) Parts can only be added/excludeed from categories created by FE. You can remove subcategories created by other mods though, so if you really wanted you can replace them with something slightly different.

2) Can you give an example of what you want to achieve using an actual part?

The check type is normally reserved for when you need NOT(a AND b...), which is quite significantly different to NOT(a) AND NOT(... (the second example is actually equivalent to NOT(a OR b...)). I would say it's superseded now by the subcategory check which is much cleaner syntax wise as well as much more flexible

Helmut · August 11, 2015

You can remove subcategories created by other mods

How to do it?

Can you give an example of what you want to achieve using an actual part?

Sorry, it was my error.

But still there is a problem with 'type = name' in 'StockRework\Subcategories.cfg'. I want to create a category 'Electrical' and move the relevant parts here.


SUBCATEGORY
{
    name = Electrical
    icon = ElectricCharge
    FILTER
    {
        CHECK
        {
            type = path
            value = Squad/Parts/Resources/FuelCell
        }
    }
    FILTER
    {
        CHECK
        {
            type = path
            value = Squad/Parts/Electrical
        }
    }
    FILTER
    {
        CHECK
        {
            type = name
            value = kethane_generator
        }
    }
    FILTER
    {
        CHECK
        {
            type = name
            value = KA_Generator_02
        }
    }
}

'kethane_generator' and 'KA_Generator_02' is no work. In addition, it is possible to write simpler? For example, 'value = Squad/Parts/Electrical; Squad/Parts/Electrical' and 'value = kethane_generator, KA_Generator_02'. I tried different ways, nothing works.

Edited August 11, 2015 by Helmut

Crzyrndm · August 12, 2015

Both of those support listing using comma (,) separators, or should do (I can't do any testing/fixing for a week or two)

    FILTER    {
        CHECK
        {
            type = path
            value = Squad/Parts/Resources/FuelCell, Squad/Parts/Electrical
        }
    }    
    FILTER
    {
        CHECK
        {
            type = name
            value = kethane_generator, KA_Generator_02
        }
    }

RE: The name type not working

I don't know why that's occuring and as stated above I can't do anything about it for a while. I would suggest using title as an alternative if name is functioning incorrecctly for some reason

Helmut · August 13, 2015

'type = path' is works good, 'type = name' is not working. I remember, before there was a problem with the 'category = none' in the parts cfg, but I have tried all ways, nothing works.

Use the title is not useful in my case. Firstly, it is difficult to choose only what you need, and nothing more. Secondly, the game freezes at startup if the titles on Unicode and subcategories.cfg on Unicode too.

And please answer, how to remove subcategories created by other mods?

I'll get "name" tested when I get a chance. Could be a while though

Removing subcategories:

FilterRemove

    remove = <name of subcategory to remove>
