hey @gritty nymph want to do a review of this now that its at v1.0.0

[silver horizon]

is it possible not to disable the entire parts manager? disable opening it by right clicking, but not when clicking the parts manager button directly?

[gritty nymph]

Will do.

[slim grail]

this is something I want to do but the way the ingame parts manager is built its currently not possible. im working on a workaround for it but that will come later down the line.

@slim grail Couple Issues:

1. Lights don’t have options for adjusting color & advanced options like blinking.

2. Right clicking part does not always bring up the correct part menu.

It seems that depending on your camera position, if the mouse cursor is green highlighting a part… but there is another part beyond/behind that part that also intersects the mouse cursor, it will open the menu for that other part.

The only way it always opens the correct part is if I position the camera & mouse in such a way that there is only a single part under my mouse cursor.

3. Handling symmetry linked parts menus.

In default ksp, changing menu options for any symmetry linked part changes it for all of them. But its not obvious in Better Part Manager that these part options are linked.

[slim grail]

for 2) I can only replicate that issue for small radial parts like the small battery and solar panels

will have a look into this more later.

[slim grail]

Right Issue 2 should now be fixed in the next update when that comes out, I have done a major change to how this works.

Update V1.0.1 (Bugfix)

This update fixes the selection bug

From the other thread: "would it be possible to make the buttons show if something is toggled or not, by changing colour from grey to the accent colour for instance? The stock UI has buttons turn green, that can be useful when you don't know which mode your reversible engine is in, for instance."

[slim grail]

sounds like a good idea, I will look into if I can do this.

[lean ether]

yeah its particularly confusing to know what true/false actually means for different parts

reaction wheels are ON by default but the toggle state shows as false
… toggling true means turning them OFF?

[slim grail]

nope. the reaction wheels torque is actually off by default.

[lean ether]

huh

whenever you add a reaction wheel to a craft it always has its torque on

[slim grail]

thats a separate one.

[lean ether]

separate what?

[slim grail]

thing

[lean ether]

sorry what? heh

[slim grail]

idk how to explain it. the one thats on by default is something else

[lean ether]

well not sure what you mean but it only further reinforces the notion that its true false state toggle is confusing

[slim grail]

I will have a see what I can do about it but its not at the top of my list, I really want to get #1079428936527786085 out.

[slim grail]

Thanks to some help from @silk grove Better Parts Manager will now allow you to open the ingame parts manager as I can finally stop it from opening on right click.

Expect update soon

[terse nova]

Am I blind or is the default thrust limiter for engines missing?

[slim grail]

will look into that tomorrow

[slim grail]

I may or may not have forgotten to upgrade this mod to UITK

this is now my top priority and will be spending the next 2 days on it

end goal something like this but more "modern"

my attempt at a pin icon

Mockup design

if anyone wants to suggest changes heres the file. and colors.

[sleek pilot]

This design already looks great, I don't get why make it look more corporate

[slim grail]

the current better parts manager uses imgui im swapping to UITK

[quaint lantern]

I definitely think the ksp2 color sshould be used

@slim grail This working with 1.3.0?

[slim grail]

its not been working since a while ago. Working on a large update.

[opaque sun]

Are you still working on that new StageInfo style mod @slim grail ?

I've been gone for a month, interesting to see what people are working on

[slim grail]

its on the todo list. Only have so many hands XD

[opaque sun]

I feel ya

[wet goblet]

This looks very exciting

Gonna give this a try once I get home, the PAM being miserably slow is one of my biggest gripes with KSP2 atm

[slim grail]

this has been broken since 0.1.3.0. have been working on an update to fix it just have too many projects.

[wet goblet]

Nooo

[slim grail]

wont be too long

[slim grail]

Working on an update now. creating the quantum version first and then will create a version for bepinex

Hello there, I just wanted to let you know that we're now archiving this forum due to it being redundant, and all mod threads should now be moved to #1078701690762571866. Ideally, to make navigation between old and new threads as smooth as possible, the last message in this thread should contain a link to the new thread, and the first message in the new thread should contain a link to this one. Thanks for understanding! @slim grail (There is a possibility a thread for this mod may already exist in #1078701690762571866, please check first before making a new one!)

[slim grail]

this mod is dead so dont matter
