[Suggestion] Custom sortables and filterables #15

Open renanklehm opened 3 months ago

renanklehm commented 3 months ago

I'm interested in the ability to sort and/or filter parts based on custom attributes, such as Engine ISP, Thrust, etc. I'm not sure if this is possible, as I've never tried modding in KSP before. However, I am experienced with C# and have worked on some personal projects in Unity. If someone could provide me with an overview of the basics, I'd be willing to give it a try myself.

It's possible, but it requires reworking the UI's sorting bar in a number of ways (category-context aware, etc).

Not hard to do, but long and requires a good amount of reverse engineering, thought and not really on my personal needs list right now.

For me, this is what has been missing with previous mods like filterextensions and janitor's closet.

When playing with RO, it is still a chore to look at individual engine specs. And with no way to sort, it takes a long time that could have been spent flying.
I even looked for offline programs that would scan all parts and create a spreadsheet of all parts with all attributes in its own columns. That way I can just use normal filters. But nothing.

I mean, it's RO, so it's just a chore generally ? :P
