so got the notice via ksp avc that a new versions of engine light relit, ksp avc, pebkac was out but....

the kspavc download link for engine light relit went to the old engine light on spacedock. 

ksp avc keeps reporting that my current ksp avc build is 1.2 something instead of the 1.303 that is in the version file

also the pebkac spacedock download link in ksp avc goes to a dead link.

i really hate these posts cuz you should be sainted for keeping all these mods going over the years so just letting you know whats going on.  

Appreciate it, will get the enginelight one fixed asap

Fixed the Engine Light Relit download link

Fixed the Pebkac download link

Not sure what's going on with AVC yet, could you post a complete log?

Also, an FYI, for something like this, ping me so I get notified.  I only came across this by accident

im working on getting you the full logs. and ill send you a download link. 

also if you just run ksp-avc and the two squad files everything seems to work fine.

Ok, this was EXTREMELY helpful.

The very short answer is: Nothing is wrong.

The reason is that the MiniAVC is included in mods, not all of which may be running the latest version.  That's what you are seeing.  In your case, since you are running the full KSP-AVC, while they are there, they do not run because they see the full KSP-AVC.

I'd suggest installing the ZeroMiniAVC mod (available from Spacedock here:  https://spacedock.info/mod/1614/ZeroMiniAVC) which will rename all the MiniAVC files so they won't run at all after the first time

okay but you have ksp avc and mini avc right?  2 distinct elements and from what ksp avc writes in the logs it appears to be tracking them separately but it looks like

somehow a mini avc version value is being put in the ksp avc column. maybe thats why im getting the popup for ksp avc being out of date when it isnt and if i dont have any mini avc's in gamedata just squad and ksp avc installed everything seems to work fine.

kinda sounds like what going on right?

because the popup will give you a separate entry for mini avc being out of date as well as ksp avc being out of date.

but i could be wrong wouldnt be the first time hehe.

Sorry, I think you are missing one fact.

KSP-AVC is a fill mod, and is running correctly.

Mini-AVC is included with EACH mod that uses it, which means that you can potentially have as many MiniAVC DLLs installed as mods.  It’s up to the mod au5er to put in an updated version.  But since you have the full AVS mod installed, you can ignore them.  I suggest that you install MiniAVC to eliminate the messages entirely

@linuxgurugamer is there a way in which I can specify in my AVC version file specifc versions of KSP that a mod can work with. In this particular case, being a planet pack it requires Kopernicus and due to Kopernicus backporting current development for very specific versions of KSP, I would need a way in KSP-AVC to be able to say something like: Only work for these versions: 1.3.1, 1.4.5, 1.5.1, 1.6.1 & 1.7.1 and onwards (specifically disallowing 1.7.0). Disallowing 1.7.0 is also critical as there was functionality added to Kopernicus from 1.7.1 onwards that causes this planet pack to fail on 1.7.0 versions of Kopernicus due to syntax changes. To reiterate the requirements would be:

  • 1.3.1
  • 1.4.5
  • 1.5.1
  • 1.6.1
  • 1.7.1 - 1.7.99

Does KSP-AVC allow for this kind of pick and choose nature of versioning whilst also allowing for ranges of versions to be specified alongside?

For reference, the current version file in question: https://github.com/Poodmund/Outer-Planets-Mod/blob/master/GameData/OPM/OuterPlanetsMod.version

Not at present, but there is an outstanding PR from @blowfish to add it.  Problem is compatibility with CKAN, since CKAN looks at the file as well.  I'll ping @HebaruSan about it

Looks like that PR is about something else.

Poodmund's comment: Marking a release as supporting a non-contiguous set of versions.

That PR: Listing multiple releases in a version file, each of which still supports either one KSP version or a contiguous range of KSP versions.

It accomplishes the same thing in a different way.  Either way, CKAN would need to be able to support an updated version of the .version file

Does it? Howso?

It helps to read closely while running a temperature.

I suppose it could be handled by adding an EXCLUDE and allowing multiple such as:

 

“EXCLUDE_KSP_VERSION” : “1.7.0”,

 

 

This would have the advantage of not forcing CKAN to be updated (although it really should to get the best benefit)

Thanks guys for even glossing over my post however prominent it may be for a backlog. I was going to post about this in the CKAN thread once LGG had given some feedback but it seems you guys are already sparking a discussion. :D

For the CKAN side of things, you could try banning the bad version of Kopernicus:

"conflicts": [
    { "name": "Kopernicus", "version": "2:release-1.7.0-1" }
],

I can't say for sure whether that would work, but it's the first thing I'd try.

This would actually be something like:

  "KSP_VERSION_EXCLUDE": {
    "MAJOR": 1,
    "MINOR": 5,
    "PATCH": 1
  },

I know it's more lines, but it's compatible with everything else in AVC

That would work for the specific case of excluding just one version. What if you needed to exclude more? It should probably take an array, if not a _MIN / _MAX style range.

I'll allow multiple entries,  it's easier to code than creating a nested stanza

Just stepping by for a little heads up:

If this is going to interfere with the "IsCompatible" boolean of "AddonInfo", I would suggest to put:

"DISALLOW_VERSION_OVERRIDE": True,

within the version file as well. Otherwise, the compatibility override is still able to do his job and well...may overrides it^^ As far as I can tell, this wouldn't be helpful in this case ;)

@linuxgurugamer While looking up the correct entry, I've noticed that I mixed up something in the log entries created by AVC and since I'm not used to JSON: it's not a valid JSON syntax either, isn't it?^^ I'll fix that later the day and open a PR ;)

Could the same be done for an include as you have suggested for exclude?

Jeez, give a man an inch and he’ll take a mile :D

yes, but it won’t be until later.

I’ll have to check, but I think this will have priority over the compatibility override.  Would still be a good idea to put that in.

:D In my case I think it would be more useful that way anyway as it's only a small amount of versions to be compatible with.

... and there's no rush. I've got a small performance update to push out but everyone's been coping up until this point so it's not mission critical, for me. I'll be happy to see any progress whenever you get a chance to give it some time.
