On modules, add left click that brings up the new stock crew transfer window

[Orthethac]

Brings up same or similar menu as when you left click a hatch on stock parts (EVA/Transfer).

Will potentially get rid of Ship Manifest dependency.

This won't be possible in the near future, as per the following long and complicated line of reasoning:

• The EVA/Transfer feature requires a special airlock mesh to be added to each crew compartment
• FusTek modules are long (>3.75 m), and the hatches on either end are going to get covered up by IACBM docking ports anyway.
• Airlock meshes that trigger the EVA/Transfer feature were originally included on all crew compartments, but there is a KSP bug where hatches that are more than 1m away from the part origin will not properly detect hatch obstructions; so if you have two FusTek modules docked together and you try to make a Kerbal go on EVA, the airlock will ignore the fact that the hatch is actually being blocked by two docking ports and the other module, and a Kerbal will spawn at the hatch location, ripping both modules apart.
• The other reason I took out the hatch feature on the crew compartments is because real-life station crew modules don't have airlocks, and they certainly don't depressurize living spaces just to let Jeb go out for a walk. The only FusTek modules you are allowed to EVA from are the Kuest / Kuest Legacy Airlocks.
• Taking all these things into account, this means at the moment, special crew transfer plugins like Ship Manifest are still needed.

I see. Thanks for the explanation. I might suggest that you set your fustek_stationicon*_texture.png to the airlock mesh which should be close to each part's origin, but

• being a trigger there probably isn't a way to disable the EVA option and keep only the Transfer option from Squad's stock EVA/Transfer feature and
• I can't see that clicking on such a small gray icon would be very user-intuitive.

Correct.

Also, if a user accidentally clicks on the EVA button in the crew portrait, the Kerbal will appear to have suddenly teleported through the pressure hull of the module; furthermore, if the airlock mesh isn't accompanied by a corresponding ladder mesh, then the Kerbal will also end up floating away.

Indeed.

And not all modules may have identifier symbols / icons on them.

I think the best bet would be to ask SQUAD to add a Transfer Crew button to the right-click context popup GUI.

This is pretty much up to SQUAD now, but I'll keep poking dev Mu with my suggestion.

KSP 1.0.5 now provides the crew transfer menu via right-click as a stock game feature, so this is now fully resolved.
