Modding the Demo ? Current Demo version 1.0

[Orc]

Hi all

 

I've been playing the KSP demo for a couple of weeks now. I've gotten frustrated with the limited numbers of parts available, so I've been trying to change the .cfg files. I know I should I purchase the full game but i can't afford to for the foreseeable future.

 

I've managed to change the crew capacity of the Mk1 Command Capsule, and managed to create a M2 Capsule that is identical to the Mk1, even though it should have had a different product write up adn supported a large crew.

 

I managed to get the LT-1 landing Leg working fine, that was available in the Sandbox but not the Carear version of the game.

 

(a) Can the demo be modded?

(b) has anyone bothered?

(c) am I being stupendously stupid in not being able to achieve more?

 

Many thanks for your time and patience.

 

Take care.

You may want to keep in mind that basically all of us want KSP to succeed so we're going to want you to buy a copy of KSP, rather than encouraging you to keep experimenting with the demo without actually getting a copy.

I thought there was a topic about this not too long ago in which @KasperVld (or someone official looking) said it was not supposed to be altered, but I can't find it for the life of me now. Perhaps I made it up.

At any rate, I don't think there are any demo-specific mods out there.

I think the quote you are looking for is:

The demo is designed to not support addons at all, the most you can do is a one-for-one replacement of an existing part, and there's no plugin support.

No, the demo lacks the plugin interface code that the full version has. It is simply impossible to run plugins and as @almagnus1mentioned, all parts are "locked".
