[SOLVED] Part Folders

[2001kraft]

Hi.

I'll get straight to the problem.

Currently I run a part mod (see signature). My part configs were written in KSP v0.18, so that might be the problem, but comparing config files didn't seem to show anything obvious to me.

The problem is that I want to have a proper mod directory, KSP/GameData/GPE/Parts/>insert folder names here</config files, mesh, textures, etc.

What I currently have is KSP/Parts/>insert folder names here</config files, mesh, etc.

When I try to simply create a folder entitled GPE in the GameData folder, and then move the Parts folder (I simply copy-paste the Parts folder, but move all the files out of the Parts folder to a different folder located in a remote location, making the KSP/Parts folder empty), the parts simply don’t show up in the editor.

Comparison of 2x2 structural plate and my 2x2 glass panel config files:

(no, I’m not missing anything from the config files; that’s them in their entirety)

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

As of KSP 0.20, you *must* enclose your part CFGs with PART{ and }, especially if you're putting them inside the GameData folder.

Notice the

PART
{
//name, etc
}

This is important, as it tells KSP that's what in this configuration file is information for a part, rather than an internalspace or prop. This was previously done by having them in those directories respectively. Wrap that around the stuff (remember to use curly brackets) in your config, move it to a folder in GameData and rejoice.
