Corrupt Save due to space station seats

[Lord_Pall]

Just finished a big giant space station in orbit. Put a bunch of guys in an OKS hab module in one of the earlier launches. They didn't show up anywhere, except in the ground based kerbal management ui (hire/fire thing).

Got the station finished. I installed crew manifest to try to access the kerbals in the module. It allowed me to move them around the station.

Saved, quit, and now I can no longer control that space station.

Log shows:

[EXC 08:34:46.428] ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Argument is out of range.

It looks like those were munged kerbals, and they got put someplace bad.

TLDR:

1. Put kerbals in OKS hab module on VAB.

2. Launch OKS hab to space station.

3. Use crew manifest to move kerbals to other parts.

This assumes I didn't put them into a bad module, which is also a possibility.

Few questions:

1. Is there any way to remove those kerbals and salvage this savegame?

2. Barring that, Is there any way to save just the ship, and start a new game with that ship in orbit?

Copied the vessel section in the save to a new clean game. I can't switch to it still.

I only have the 3 default spawned kerbals in the savegame, and I didn't do anything with them.

Any way to get some extended information on why this is horked?

[Lord_Pall]

Annd more details.

Built a station from scratch on the ground, added command modules, loaded kerbins in. Used hyperedit to get it into space. Used crew manifest to move folks. Quit, reloaded, Can't control the station again.

I suspect it's crew manifest. I'll try out without it now.

Are there any other mods you are using? That could be one of the causes. It may not be the case, but, hey, better safe than sorry!

EDIT: This has been solved

Unlike I originally thought this was not caused by crew manifest.

Since he never listed his mods I won't know if his problem is the same, but I am guessing he had probe control room installed, it causes errors because it thinks the station parts are unmanned probes, I think mainly because IVA stuff isnt implemented in OKS/MKS, it needs an update.
