Parachute staging icon not displayed by default if part contains both RealChuteModule and ModuleDockingNode

Noticed this while working on an update for SDHI SMS.

If a part (such as my parachute-equipped docking ports) contains both RealChuteModule and ModuleDockingNode, the parachute staging icon is not displayed by default.

Reproduction Steps

• Start a new sandbox savegame
• Enter VAB
• Go to Utility tab and grab a Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port - Parachute version or IACBM 1.25m - Parachute version
• The parachute icon will not show up in the staging list
• Right-clicking on the part and toggling Port: Enable Staging unhides the parachute icon

Desired fix

Any part containing a RealChuteModule should always show its staging icon, regardless of any other PartModule.

Configuration

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit KSP 1.0.5 32 bit, build 01028 (fresh installation) AnimatedDecouplers v1.2.2-beta.1 (experimental release to test bugfixes) FASA 4.50 (latest release, launch clamps only) Hyperedit v1.4.2 (latest release) KSPX v0.2.9 (latest release) ModuleManager v2.6.13 (latest release) RealChute v1.2.3.6 (latest release) RLA Stockalike v13.3 (latest release) SDHI SMS 3.0.1 (latest release) Time Control v13.2+? (experimental release by westamastaflash in Xaiier's absence)

Additional notes

• According to @NathanKell, KSP 1.0.5 now allows docking node decoupling to be staged, although this behaviour is disabled by default. Certain parameters could be set to enable staged docking ports by default, but I haven't been able to do so successfully even under NK's guidance.
• Another tidbit from NK:

You (or Chris rather) need to make RealChute aware of the stage toggling functionality. You need to override the stage toggle enabled methods and perhaps some other bits. Note that each module independently interacts with the stage toggling backend, and as long as >= 1 module has staging enabled,the icon will show up and the part will stage.

See http://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/5689 to which both of you should have access. Note my comment midway down with updated information.

I'll look into it shortly. Sorry for the delay, it's been kinda hectic during the holidays here, heh.

@sumghai Try using this dll, I think that should fix the issue.

I'll test it tonight and report back - thanks!

Fix works beautifully - adding an SDHI ParaDock into the VAB/SPH build area automatically adds the parachute icon to the staging list as desired.

Regression testing of parachute via action groups / staging button OK :)

Good, closing then :)
