Docking Port Bug (Lightly Modded)

[ChrisD]

I've had a version of the Docking Port bug strike my Minmus Station when trying to send the shuttle back to Kerbin. The menu on both ports showed the 'Undock' command but, when selected, nothing happened. Now neither port is showing the undock option.

I can see that this is an ongoing issue and that it can be resolved (at least in the short term) by persistence file editing, however I cannot make sense of the file enough to reset the docking ports into a functional state.

Can anyone help with some editing (I'm on Mac OS so KML doesn't work) or at least give me a guide as to what to change?

Cheers,

Chris

Ok, so by comparing my persistence file to a fresh version I managed to effect a fix by changing the 'state' in each of the Docking Port 'MODULE' sections. One must be Docked (docker) and one must be Docked (dockee)

MODULE
                {
                    name = ModuleDockingNode
                    isEnabled = True
                    crossfeed = True
                    stagingEnabled = False
                    state = Docked (docker)
            

MODULE
                {
                    name = ModuleDockingNode
                    isEnabled = True
                    crossfeed = True
                    stagingEnabled = False
                    state = Docked (dockee)
