What is it? nodeSuffix / nodePrefix would be added to a slot, and automagically append/insert this string to any nodes/beams/etc. in the part. Purpose/Example Usage On the Cessna L-19, I wanted to add rockets. in order to do this, I had to make 4 separate slots, and 4 separate parts, and had to change 4 sets of node names manually. That's a lot of work just to have a few rockets, and it would create a lot of unnecessary data on disk. Currently I'm working with JATO, and want to add multiple. I have 2 options -Duplicate the part 8 times, change node names, and slot types -Make a combined part, which would still require a lot of node name changing EDIT : 1,100+ line jbeam file in the end, opted for 2nd option. But what about attachments? The parts could be structured as follows, for attaching things: main rockets rocket #1 attachment rocket #1 (a part with nodePrefix "r1_", nodeMove, coreSlot) rocket #2 attachment rocket #2 (a part with nodePrefix "r2_", nodeMove, coreSlot) etc.
This sounds very useful, I've had to spend a lot of time renaming nodes. Of course I can just replace them all with notepad++, but I don't really trust it. This feature would indeed make modding faster and easier, and the only drawback I can think of is that it could look confusing to new modders.
