Hiya.

I tried installing this via CKAN, and got the following error -

I'm not sure that's going to work, so the text is

Do you happen to already have RPM installed? I'm wondering if its an issue trying to install JSIUtilities over one that may be needed/installed with RPM.. vOv
Do you already have a JSI folder in your /GameData/?

It's a mod problem, looks like it's conflicting with the ASET PRC mod.  I'll get it fixed

There are two ASET rovers now:

  • ASET PRC (Portable Rover Components)
  • and ASET ERS (Exploration Rover System) [this one].

Both CKAN packages have the same file /GameData/ASET/License.md which is causing a conflict if someone tries to install both rovers at the same time. Either individually works fine.

New release, 0.4.0.2

  • Fixed conflicting file with the ASET PRC mod
  • Deleted unnecessary files

Will take a few minutes for CKAN to get updated.  Do a refresh to get the new version when it's available

Edit:  It's now available in CKAN, after you do the refresh

I had good luck right away (a miracle!) Did your ground mesh previews all lay flat?

No... they wont lay flat, to get them to mount correctly... I also have to use fine-snapping to rotate them to proper position...
Are you assembling this in the VAB or SPH?


Theres some other tweaks I see this mod could use... so I'm poking stuff

In the SPH, like in the screenshot. I have to admit that I did not have the right requirement mod at that point, I had just the transparent cockpit one. With HebaruSan's helpful link, I got the correct dependency and everything still works. It was basically PAW things that didn't work the same without the requirement. But yeah, wheels moving fine for me. Mine is built with the "FWD" wheel on the left front and right rear, and the "BCK" wheel on the right front and left rear.

Anyone else having problems with the wheels?
I launch it... but it wont move... Stuck to the runway... it just jiggles, and the wheels spin..??

Your wheels arent' mounted correctly.  There is a little red arrow on each wheel, it has to be pointing up when mounted.

How are y'all attaching the US mounts to the cargo bays? I cant seem to get the stac nodes on the mounts to "snap" to the carbo nodes...
The mounts just end up surface attaching..??

EDIT: Nvm..figured out the JSI Trans. Pods issue
Also, is the JSI Transparent Pods patch not seeming to work for anyone else?
I have JSI TP installed... I *did* remove the ASET IVA dependencies, do *NOT* have RPM installed...
I *do* have JSI Part Utilities installed

I just noticed the Cabin & Crew Modules are defaulted to the ASET internals, so I changed that to use the stock IVA, and STILL no transparent windows.. ??

@linuxgurugamer I'm looking at making some changes/improvements to this mod.
It looks like the IVAs are defaulted to ASET internals, so you get TONS of log spam (just warnings). I see several parts use "Placeholder" as an internal..?? Looks like there *is* an existing internal using stock props for the Cabin.
My question is, do you want the ASET IVA stuff & RPM Adopted to be *hard* dependencies with this, or should I go ahead and make an MM patch for the ASET IVAs, to make it a soft dependency/recommended mod? (the way its listed in the OP, it makes it sound like the ASET IVAs/RPM are *recommended*, not hard)

That would be fine, the mod isn't stabilized yet, so patches are welcome

@linuxgurugamer Just started KSP, and KSP-AVC threw this up for the first time:
Jf3mpPE.jpg

Yet, when I check the repo and SpaceDock, as well as here, I see no mention of a new 0.4.0.4..?? vOv

Working on some updates/fixes for this mod, so trying to keep on top of anything newly released for it ;)

EDIT: oh wait... I just checked the spacetux.net link in the .version file... I see *that* got updated.. vOv
