Module Manager Handbook

#Module Manager Handbook This section covers the most basic applications of Module Manager, which tend to be the most asked questions in the Module Manager Official Thread. It goes through the main operations in a quick and simple way. For a more detailed description, see Module Manager Syntax.

##Operations

###Common Syntaxes:

• Operators
• "nothing", for creating a new node
• @ for edit
• + or $ for copy
• - or ! for delete
• % for edit-or-create.
• Filters
• * for any number of alphanumeric chars
• ? for any single alphanumeric character. This is also applied in case of "space" or special chars.
• @ for including nodes in filter
• - or ! for excluding nodes from filter
• # for including "nodes with values" in filter
• ~ for excluding "nodes with values" from filter
• :HAS[<node>] for searching only files that have in filter
• :NEEDS[<modname>] for searching only files that mess with certain mod.
• Additional
• & or , for "AND"
• | for "OR"
• :Final forces the patch to be applied lastly (in case multiple files edit the same node)

###Examples and details:

• Editing:

@PART[SomePart] // Edit a PART node named "SomePart".
{
    @mass = 0.625 // change SomePart's mass to 0.625
    @description = SomePart: now uses Xenon! // Changes the value from the "description" item. In this case, a text.

    @MODULE[ModuleEngines] // Edit SomePart's node MODULE named "ModuleEngines"
    {
        @maxThrust = 2.25  // Changes maxThrust to 225

            @PROPELLANT[LiquidFuel] // Edit SomePart's node PROPELLANT named "LiquidFuel"
            {
            @name = XenonGas // Changes the PROPELLANT node name from LiquidFuel to XenonGas.
            @ratio = 1.0 // Changes the ratio value.
        }
    !PROPELLANT[Oxidizer] {} // Removes the node PROPELLANT named "Oxidizer" from the PART.
    }

    RESOURCE // Creates a new node RESOURCE in the PART.
    {
        name = ElectricCharge // Adds a name to the node RESOURCE
        amount = 100 // Adds "amount" and its value to this node
        maxAmount = 100 Adds "maxAmount" and its value to this node
    }
}
