Format exception: input string was not in the correct format, advice needed

[jimutt]

Hi,

Just tried to create an asset using the asset tutorial in the wiki. I used the 'Dummy part.cfg' and only modified it a pit and used it with my own model.

Though I\'m getting this error while opening it in PartLab: 'Format exception: input string was not in the correct format'

This is the detailed error code from the log file:

FormatException: Input string was not in the correct format

at System.Int32.Parse (System.String s) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

at PartLoader.ParsePartCfg () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

at PartLoader.doProcessPart (UnityEngine.GameObject[] mdls, Boolean partLabMode) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

at PartLoader.startPartAssemblyAndSave (UnityEngine.GameObject[] mdls) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

at FileIO.Loaded (Boolean success) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

at DAE+<Load>c__Iterator6.MoveNext () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

(Filename: Line: -1)

The model is showing up as it should so it seams just to be some cfg issues. And when trying to start the game with the asset the loading screen freezes when loading the object.

The PartLab hasn\'t been updated in a while and is probably useless. I\'ll see about bugging the devs for an update.

Cheers!

Thank you Capt\'n!

Though I get the same error message in the log file in the KSP_Data when trying to run the game. Maybe the cfg guide is outdated too? Or am I just doing something terribly wrong... hmm...

Nope, the PartLab and any files that come with it are likely to be obsolete as it\'s several versions old. The good news is they are working on a completely new set of tools, on the other hand, it may take a while before we can get our hands on it.

Cheers!

Ah, okay.

Well I might as well wait a bit then. I usually only work with pure programming tasks so I\'m not really used to this kind of modding. So maybe it\'ll be better to wait until they\'ve released the new tools. In that way I\'ll be able to avoid spamming the forum with stupid newbie questions
