+ | == MODULE == | ||
+ | Modules define what specific parts can do. They are generally calls to C-coded or hard-coded functions that define what functionality these parts have in-game. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | '''name''' | ||
+ | names define the module in use and are a general indication of what the module subtype does. Specific variables are associated with each [module].[name]. For example, the Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port Sr. has the MODULE.name ModuleDockingNode and its' associates variables are [referenceAttachNode] and [nodeType]. Some [MODULE]s share variables with other modules, which can make deciphering their purpose difficult. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | known [MODULE]s, their associated variables, and the meanings of those variables will be explained below. | ||

MODULE
Modules define what specific parts can do. They are generally calls to C-coded or hard-coded functions that define what functionality these parts have in-game.
name names define the module in use and are a general indication of what the module subtype does. Specific variables are associated with each [module].[name]. For example, the Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port Sr. has the MODULE.name ModuleDockingNode and its' associates variables are [referenceAttachNode] and [nodeType]. Some [MODULE]s share variables with other modules, which can make deciphering their purpose difficult.

MODULES POSSIBLY FROM MODS
defining a module has it's own problems, of course, and I'm no expert, but I did find this along the way:
MODULE:NEEDS[KAS] for the module

specifies the size of the container relative to Kerbal Attachment System parts.

INTERNAL
Internal specifies the internal files used to construct views from the IVA or internal vehicular activity, and are referenced out to the \Spaces\ directory of the relevant part mod. (Squad's internals are in \GameData\Squad\Spaces). INTERNALs have their own .cfg files with their own calls and methods that will not be discussed here. For details of these cfgs, please refer to #REDIRECT INTERNAL cfgs. Squad provides 9 INTERNALs as part of Stock KSP:
- crewCabinInternals
- cupolaInternal
- GenericSpace1
- GenericSpace3
- landerCabinInternals
- landerCabinSmallInternal
- mk1CockpitInternal
- mk1PodCockpit
