v2.1.0

• Add texture switching

  • Each subtype can now have TEXTURE nodes which take the following fields:

    • texture (required) - path to the texture you want to use, e.g. MyMod/Parts/SomePart/texture
    • currentTexture (optional) - name of the current texture (just the filename excluding the extension, not the full path). Anything that does not have this as the current texture will be ignored.
    • isNormalMap (optional, default false) - whether the texture is a normal map or not (necessary due to KSP treating normal maps differently when they are loaded)
    • shaderProperty (optional) - name of the shader property that the texture sits on. Default is _MainTex if isNormalMap = false or _BumpMap if isNormalMap = true. For an emissive texture you would want _Emissive
    • transform (optional, can appear more than once) - names of transforms to apply the texture switch to
    • baseTransform (optional, can appear more than once) - names of transforms where the texture switch should be applied to them and all of their children

  • If no transform or baseTransform is specified, it will look for textures to switch on the entire part

v1.6.1

• Switch percentFilled priority to resource -> subtype -> tank type -> 100% since resources can be overridden on individual subtypes now

v1.6.0

• Allow tanks to be partially filled - percentFilled can be defined on the subtype, resource, or tank type (in decreasing order of priority), defaulting to completely full

• Allow toggling resource tweakability in the editor - resourcesTweakable can be defined on the subtype or tank type (subtype takes priority), default is whatever the standard is for that resource

• Allow RESOURCE nodes directly on the subtype

  • If the resource already exists on the tank, values defined here will override what is already on the tank (won't affect other subtypes using the same tank)

v1.4.1

v1.4.0

• Find best subtype intelligently

  • If name was not previously set or not found, but index was, use it (this allows transitioning from current setup and renaming subtypes if necessary)
  • If index was not previously set, try to infer subtype based on part's resources (this allows easy transitioning from a non-switching setup)
  • Finally, just use first subtype

• Add unit testing for subtype finding

• Get rid of some unnecessary logging in debug mode

• Refactor part switching a bit

v1.3.1

• Fix bug where having ModuleB9PartInfo on a root part would cause physics to break due to an exception (really a stock issue but no sense waiting for a fix)
