Hello all ('-')/,

I'd like to present my 3rd party program:

NYB7hn1.png

Kerbal Config Editor

v1.1 Release

Kerbal Config Editor (KCE) is an easy to use tool designed to allow modders of Kerbal Space Program to easily and quickly alter or even create KSP Config Files.

Screenshots

This software is provided "as-is" with no warranties.

Presented under the GPL v3 license.

Creation and/or publication of media (images, videos, etc.) while using this software is authorized.

This software is in RELEASE. However, bugs can still happen. If you have a bug, or a suggestion, please leave it in a mature manner.

DOWNLOAD: SpaceDock OR GitHub

SOURCE: GitHub

Get KCE on CKAN!

 

 

KSP 1.1 USERS BEWARE:

KSP 1.1 is still in Pre-Release status. Bugs are expected. In addition, KCE v1.1 is NOT backwards kompatible with older KSP versions. Because of this, older versions of KCE are still available in SpaceDock's "Changelog" section AND in GitHub's "Releases" section.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Place the program file into the same directory as your Kerbal Space Program install.

For example, if KSP is installed in C:\Program Files\Kerbal Space Program, then that is where this program goes.

FEATURES:

Kerbal Config Editor allows users and modders to easily read, edit, and even create KSP config files.

- Supports creating new config files and saving.

- Supports opening existing config files.

- Supports editing of nodes, their names, and values, their names, and assigned values.

- DOES NOT currently support comments. This is planned for a future release.

CHANGELOG:

v1.1:

- KSP 1.1 PRE-RELEASE Kompatibility Update. BUGS ARE EXPECTED.

 

v1.0.4:

- Minor UI improvements.

- Changed File IO to use the OS's path separator instead of hardcoded backslashes.

 

v1.0.3:

- The Open and Save file dialogs now begin at the install path of the program.

 

v1.0.2:

- Allowed opening of game save (*.sfs) files.

- Allowed opening of files with node names that may not be completely alphanumeric.

- Improved file open error handling.

 

v1.0.1:

- Fixed menu items not reactivating.

 

v1.0:

- INITIAL RELEASE

Updated! v1.0.2:

- Allowed opening of game save (*.sfs) files.

- Allowed opening of files with node names that may not be completely alphanumeric.

- Improved file open error handling.

Can you please tell me bit about your computer? Are you installing this into your KSP directory? What version of KSP is KCE installed into?

Interesting... I'm not entirely certain what could be causing it then. I think you just have a very rare setup that interferes. Wait. You're running KSP out of your Users folder. Have you tried moving it somewhere like Program Files and trying it there? It may be that having the install in your Users folder, or any subfolder, causes some weird access issues with my program...

I can try that.

I dont use the installer, I use the zip and unpack it to my desktop.

I'll try your program in a fresh install of ksp somewhere else then my user folder

A fresh unzip into c:\, same problem

Hmm... This is really interesting. I am honestly completely unsure what causes this. The error is strangely claiming your install to be a network location.

System.NotSupportedException: An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location...

So I think there may be one solution which might help, but it's a long shot, so I'll be in contact via private message some time today or tomorrow with a private test version which I'd like you to try. Sound good?

If there is anyone that runs KSP on Linux, I'm looking for someone to assist me in making KCE cross-platform. There are some things I need to know about Linux's KSP installation to continue. Message me if you're interested in helping.

A nice program to work with but i'm unable to save the changed or new values. Every time i try to do that an exception error occurs. (win7 64bits, KSP not running, installed in KSP installroot)

Any clues on a solution?

It is impossible to save to the opened file but it is possible to save to a different (new) file.

I do.

I can tell you how to make it run easily on Linux as well.

Simply get it to run under Mono Runtime for Windows, and it will run on Linux and Mac as well.

You should try to see if you can get it to work under the latest 2.x branch of Mono for added compatability.

The Mono project also ships a utility called "Moma" that can check for compatibility and tell you what library calls are likely the problem. It can basically tell you exactly what libraries you are using, which ones you need to ship with your program for mono compatability, and which ones won't run on Mono at all.

You can take a look at the list of the .Net libraries supported under Mono at the Mono website.

As a note, when building C# assemblies Unity games, the Mono Compiler and Mono version of Mono-Develop are actually a lot better than the obsolete versions that ship with Unity, and some would argue they might be better than Microsoft Studio, but both Mono and Microsoft Studio have strong-points in both their compiler and IDE so it's debatable there.

Thanks for letting me know. I often forget to add releases to GitHub because it's not meant to be the primary download source, but thanks to MediaFire being banned, I had to. I'll update GitHub and also add in the SpaceDock.info source as well.

 

EDIT: Apparently I got confused at some point, because the actual latest stable release is 1.0.3 as GitHub indicates, and I accidentally changed everything to say 1.0.4 when that version is not even released.

Kerbal Config Editor has been updated! KCE v1.1 is now kompatible with KSP 1.1 Pre-Release.

1.1 USERS BEWARE: KSP 1.1 is still in Pre-Release status. Bugs are expected. In addition, KCE v1.1 is NOT backwards kompatible with older KSP versions. Because of this, older versions of KCE are still available in SpaceDock's "Changelog" section AND in GitHub's "Releases" section.

CHANGELOG:

v1.1:

- KSP 1.1 PRE-RELEASE Kompatibility Update. BUGS ARE EXPECTED.

Since this is written in C-Sharp, it should be portable to Mono.  Do you want me to check if it runs drop in, or if it needs some porting work, and assess how much porting work is necessary? 

I'll test it under the Mono Runtime for CIL-PE files (Mono/.Net EXE file format).  There is no point in building separate Linux binaries when almost all Linux distros have the .Net runtime installed by default, and have a link to add the necessary modules for basic .Net compatibility.  (Namely, GDI+.NET and WinForms.NET)

I'm actually fairly uncertain as to how well it'll run on other OS's due to its dependence on the KSP code library. Since it literally relies on the KSP definition of ConfigNode as I can't exactly recreate it myself, I don't know if other OS's will properly pick up on that dependence.

So in other words, there is only one way to find out.

Where are you looking for the dependency.  As long as it's a Mono/.Net DLL file you should be fine. 

Unfortunately if it is bundled into a ".so" or other non-Mono binary file, you may not be able to access it on non-Windows platforms without adding an extraction routine.

The proper way to look is to make the directory relative to "./" in naming and have the user place the binary in their KSP directory.

Only some Operating Systems automatically add the current working directory to the library search path, and Mono gets it's search path from the OS unless the program overrides it.   The simplest solution is to explicitly state the location relative to the binary's location or add said location to the search binary specific additions to the search path.

Honestly, you should only need that database to make it easier to edit.  It basically provides the config tree schema for the unspecified variables.  Players will simply have to manually define the config file if you don't include it.  You may want to make a second version that falls back on this.

If you need a test system, you can launch Linux from a thumb drive.  (I recommend a full install instead of a live disk image.)  Linux now has the ability to detect plug and play disks by Partition ID so even if the disk moves in location it can find it on boot.  (This ability was added quite a while back but was changed to be enabled by default recently.)  Mac's file handing system is very similar to Linux so if something works on Linux it should work on Mac.
