I know it's been a while. My laptop's charging port broke and I had to get it fixed for a week. I also had to figure out why no Blender versions higher than 2.83 worked. Turns out that my drivers were REALLY old. I got those updated so now Blender 3.3 works. I also just upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10 so overall I haven't really been able to do much work. I hope to resume work on this and my contract mod (Extreme Plane Contracts) tomorrow.

Slowly working on the next version. I plan to make some changes to the textures and at some point (I don't know if it will happen in the next version) I will make a droneship a launch pad via KK.
-
v2.1 has been released! First delete previous versions of the mod or the game will crash. I want to thank @ColdJ for a lot of work on this. I have a lot of improvements planned for v2.2.

Do you perchance use LibreOffice as your .cfg/text editor?
If so, LO creates a temp file of the one you have open, in the same location, and usually the same name with extra characters...
it gets removed once you close the actual file you are working on...I use Notepad.

That file is definitely there; I saw it, too, as did the CKAN validation tools. Here it is on your GitHub repo:
Maybe your operating system has decided to hide it from you for some reason?
Looks like it. I'm using Windows 10 and Microsoft tends to hide things such as file extensions.

uhh... vOv
That's weird. It's just barge.cfg in my folder.

Idk... you could maybe start with a better "standard" folder layout.
what is not loading? the static, or the part, or both?
I would change the file extension of the ~$barge.cfg.
I dont know what that file is, but with a .cfg extension, KSP is trying to load it.
You could try renaming it to ~$barge.cfg~
Also, a good troubleshooting tool is to review the KSP.log file, looking for stuff related to your mod.
Also, I see the original release, had a version of KerbalKonstructs packaged with it. I assume you are *NOT* installing that, and are instead using the latest release of the mod?I'm using the latest release. There is no $barge.cfg file.

Replace all the `mesh =` lines, with MODEL{} nodes:
https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/CFG_File_Documentation#Model_ParametersI would leave the model (s) & textures in the static's folder. (IF they are indeed identical)
You should be able to get away with a single config file for the *part*, in the Part folder. No other files/copies needed in the Part folder.
Just point the `model =` key at the .mu in the static folder. No need to use the `texture =` keys.I tried this but it doesn't load. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong here? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Auvc87Q6lKngiNmEOMRS8gMCh3AZgOuZ?usp=sharing

If he updates the config to the new MODEL parameter then he could put both configs in the same folder and only need 1 copy of each texture file.
How do I do this?

One is for a Kerbal Konstructs static.

New thread and version:
-
Released v2.0.1. This fixes some bugs found by @ColdJ
-
This adds a SpaceX Droneship to land your rockets on! It includes a static for Kerbal Konstructs and a VAB part. This is a continuation of Space X Barge Lander, which only had a KK static. I added the VAB part. In the future, I hope to add more parts related to SpaceX's Fleet, such as tugs. It's not perfect yet, but I'm working on it. I want to thank @ColdJ for his continued help with this, my first part mod.
Dependencies:
KerbalKonstructs (if you want the static)

Hi @Future Astronaut Trying to workout what you are doing, If the config that Hebarusan put up is of your original then it appears to be a mess.
Could you tell me what your part is meant to be?
Could you tell me the folder path?
For example: C:\KSP1.12.2\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\Belafonte\Parts\BelaComplete.cfg
And could you copy the config into a spoiler so that I might have a look at it and see if I can fix it for you.?
The part is a boat to land rockets on (like SpaceX). The folder path is C:/KSPTest/GameData/Space_X_barge_lander_2.0/Parts/droneship/droneship.cfg Here's the entire folder of the mod. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PQlDkYjRcGOFDF8I1eVffI7ZyIFFSqZ6?usp=sharing
The Space_X_Barge_lander_2.0/droneship folder is Kerbal Konstructs. That's working fine but the VAB part doesn't.

Well, here's the next group of messages:
[LOG 14:01:23.126] PartLoader: Compiling Part 'Space_X_barge_lander-2.0/Parts/droneship/barge/droneship' [LOG 14:01:23.281] EffectList: Created 15 effect types [WRN 14:01:23.338] PartLoader: Cannot replace model texture with 'Space_X_barge_lander-2.0/Parts/droneship/textures/Barge_Texture' [LOG 14:01:23.462] PartLoader: Part 'Space_X_barge_lander-2.0/Parts/droneship/barge/droneship' has no database record.

[LOG 14:01:23.489] DragCubeSystem: Creating drag cubes for part 'droneship'
I'm not sure what that means, or if it's really an error message, since the log levels are WRN and LOG rather than ERR. But if that is an error, then the key part is "Cannot replace model texture", which suggests a problem with the "texture = Barge_Texture.mbm" line. Looking at the configs in GameData/Squad/Parts, they either don't set the texture, or they specify the full relative path from GameData to the file. So maybe try removing it (presumably it defaults in from the .mu file?) or setting it to "Space_X_barge_lander-2.0/Parts/droneship/textures/Barge_Texture" explicitly?
Another guess, I notice the cfg says Barge_Texture with a capital T, but the file you uploaded to Google Drive is Barge_texture.mbm with a lowercase t. I wouldn't expect that to matter on Windows, which I assume you are using, but there's no harm in making those consistent just in case.
A third guess, the other lines that I see setting textures don't include the ".mbm" part. So maybe that's confusing it?
It's also conceivable that it's loading fine, and it might be time for more detail in the problem report than "doesn't work".
This is getting a bit far afield from things I understand, so you might need to find somebody with more experience in part modding soon.
I made some changes to the config file based on other mods but it still doesn't work. I've put in this folder the model, textures, the config file, and the log. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/103bpHKyHoohlhVH1_kRUqz3XiadrJu64?usp=sharing

For what it's worth, I'm not expecting that any particular one of these fixes will make it work immediately. The things we've fixed so far are necessary but not sufficient. Based on what I've seen, I'm quite sure there are many errors in this config, and I'm not attempting to identify every single one of them in one pass. It's much easier to let the game do that for us.
Here's the next problem, also found by searching the log for "barge" and scanning for problems:

The key part is "System.ArgumentException: Requested value '13s' was not found", which means somewhere you've got "13s" where it isn't allowed. Looks like that's on the "category" line. I'm guessing you meant that to be 13, and accidentally inserted an 's' when you were trying to save?
I fixed that but it doesn't work yet. Here's the new log file. Thanks so much for helping me! I'm very new to modding.

Ahh, OK, that makes sense. You have "part" in all lowercase letters, which is why it says "Cannot find Part of type 'part'".
Capitalize the P.
Loading KSP now. I will let you know if it works.

OK, here's the error (about halfway through, found by searching for "barge" and looking for problems):
[LOG 20:31:14.380] PartLoader: Compiling Part 'Space_X_barge_lander-2.0/Parts/droneship/barge/droneship' [ERR 20:31:14.416] PartCompiler: Cannot find Part of type 'part' [ERR 20:31:14.417] PartCompiler: Error parsing config [ERR 20:31:14.417] PartCompiler: Cannot compile part
Normally I'd expect this to mean that you set "type = part" somewhere, but I don't see that. Looking more closely, I'm guessing this isn't right:
module = Strut
Every part in the GameData/Squad/Parts folder has "module = Part" instead. I'd try that next.
I saw that before and did that but still didn't work. This log file is from after I already fixed that. Here are the files including the model, textures, and cfg. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16vqf0ib5ZrTk0AIDf1jgFkr9zmp7Qn_Q?usp=sharing

Thanks! I think I'll stick to the official Blender for now. It's easier and faster to get help via Discord.
