Part info in PAW menu

Mod for Kerbal Space Program intended for mod creators and advanced players. Get useful information about part from PAW menu (including full module manager patches history), copy part ID or CFG to clipboard, open part CFG (original or in-game presentation) in editor with one click.

What does this mod do?

1. It displays part name (basically, part ID) and path to part CFG file in the parts list (in VAB/Hangar): This feature is more or less identical to PartInfo mod by linuxgurugamer.

2. PartInfoInPAW also adds some information to PAW menu (right-click menu) for alls parts (works only in VAB/SPH). This information include:

   • part name (basically, part ID);
   • part mod (GameData folder name);
   • dry/wet mass (takes into account crew mass for KSP 1.11+);
   • empty/full cost (takes into account crew inventories cost for KSP 1.11+);
   • entry cost;
   • current and maximum crew (only for crewable parts).

   

   For engines, mod also display propellants information, thrust and ISP, minimum thrust (in %, and only if engine has non-zero minThrust) and engine gimbal information. If part has more than one ModuleEngines (for example, multi-mode engine like RAPIER), information for first two ModuleEngines will be displayed. RealFuels/RO, KSPIE and other engines are all supported.

3. Mod adds several buttons to PAW menu:

   • Copy part name - copy part name (ID) to clipboard;
   • Copy orig. CFG file / Open orig. CFG in editor - copy original part CFG file to clipboard / opens it in system default editor for .cfg files;
   • Copy part CFG node / Open CFG node in editor - copy part CFG to clipboard / save it to temporary file and open in system default editor for .cfg files. Important: "part CFG" here means actual in-game part representation, not text from original part CFG-file. That means, whole PART{} node with all MM-patches already applied to it;
   • MM patches history - opens window with history all module manager patches. See screenshot:

4. All buttons and information options are configurable in game difficulty settings. Choose which options you want to see in PAW menu.

No dependencies

As of version 0.3.0, PartInfoInPAW no longer relies on module manager patch for adding itself to every part. Instead, mod do so automatically during KSP startup. Downside is, mod only works in editor scene now (VAB/Hangar).

Supported KSP versions

KSP 1.8.0 or newer is supported.
