Overview

V-SwiFT is a part-variant framework for KSP2 Redux. In this workspace it is integrated as a standalone module under Ksp2Redux/Assets/Modules/V-SwiFT, with both runtime code and Patch Manager-facing authoring hooks.

What V-SwiFT solves

• switching between multiple part variants without duplicating whole part definitions

• turning meshes or features on and off per variant

• modifying selected part data, resources, attach nodes, and engine modes

• showing variant-specific information in OAB UI, including dropdown and popout workflows

• preserving variant-driven overrides into generated part data when needed

Main building blocks

• Data_PartSwitch: stores the authored variant data on a part

• VariantSet: groups related choices such as tank length, fairing layout, or engine mode package

• Variant: one concrete option inside a set

• transformers: small classes that actually apply changes to the part or generate saved overrides

Dependencies

The shipped swinfo.json declares V-SwiFT as depending on:

• patchmanager

• SpaceWarp

At runtime the plugin also registers a raw Patch Manager library named VSwift that exposes the shipped mixins used in the authoring examples in this subtree.

How to read this reference

• Start with Getting started if you want to author a part.

• Use Authoring model to understand the data shape.

• Use Transformer reference when choosing which changes to apply per variant.

• Use Patch Manager integration and Runtime behavior when you need to understand how the authoring surface maps to live behavior.
