What Do I Need?

This is a simple mod designed to show on-screen what science parts are needed to support the selected contracts. The display can be made transparent and click-through can be allowed to allow it to not interfere with the editor. It is only available in the Editor (VAB or SPH)

The toolbar button looks like the following: Clicking the button for this mod will bring up a simple window which will look similar to the following image:

The initial screen will initially show all active contracts. At the bottom there will be three buttons:

• Select Click to open contract selection screen
• Close Close the window
• Settings Open the settings panel

The Contract Selection screen will show a list of all active contracts. You can deselect some or all of the active contracts on this screen. Click the toggle to select those contracts you want to display or deselect, then click the Select Button

The Settings page will display three toggles on the first line:

• Display Briefing If checked, then the briefing for the contract will be shown
• Bold Make the display font bold
• Lock Position Clock the window position
• Hide Buttons Hide the buttons at the bottom when the selection screen is closed

The next two lines will have the following toggles:

• Allow click-through If enabled, this will have the contract display window to allow clicks to fall through to game objects below. This will only be enabled when the settings panel is NOT displayed
• Show all active contracts upon entry If enabled (defaults to enabled), then entering the editor will automatically populate all the active contracts in the mod

The following sliders are available:

• Transparency Set the transparency of the window, all the way left makes the window totally transparent
• Hide Time Sets the amount of time the window will hide when the H button in the upper right is pressed
• Font Size Set the size of the font to be used

Additional controls are in the upper left:

• B Hide or show the buttons
• L Lock the position of the window. When locked, the window cannot be moved or resized
• S Show the Settings panel

Upper right:

• X Close the window

Lower right:

• diagonal arrow Resize the window

The window will show the selected active contracts. Initially all experiments will be shown, along with all the parts that can provide the experiment needed. There is a button to the left of each contract, which will allow you to collapse the experiments included in that contract.

Font Colors

• Contacts will be shown in yellow.
• If enabled, the briefing text will be white
• Experiments will be shown in a light blue.
• Fulfilling parts (parts which can run the experiment): The parts will be shown in either red or green. Red means it is NOT part of the current vessel, green means it IS on the current vessel. Additionally, for parts which are already on the vessel, the number of those parts on the vessel will be shown in parenthesis to the right of the part name
