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, copy part ID or full part CFG node to clipboard 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, optionally some info is also available). This information include:

   • part name (basically, part ID) (shown only in VAB/SPH);
   • part mod (GameData folder name) (shown only in VAB/SPH);
   • dry/wet mass (shown only in VAB/SPH);
   • cost (shown only in VAB/SPH);
   • entry cost (shown only in VAB/SPH);
   • dry engine TWR ("dry" means TWR is only calculated for this specific part, not craft or stage). And of course, it is shown only for engines (shown only in VAB/SPH);
   • current and maximum part temperature and skin part temperature (shown only in flight scene, and only if showInfoInFlight param is set to true (see Parameters section).

   For engines, mod also display formatted string of additional data about engine (the same you can see in parts list in VAB/SPH). If part has more than one ModuleEngines (for example, multi-mode engine like RAPIER), information for first two ModuleEngines will be displayed.

   

3. Finally, mod adds two buttons to PAW menu (see screenshot above), which allows you to copy part name (part ID) or whole part config (in-game part representation in human-readable text) to clipboard. This is my favorite feature, and I hope other players and modders will find it useful (as did I). NB: button "Copy part CFG node" copies 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.
