linuxgurugamer Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) @kizza42 When a mod is installed because it is needed by another mod, that column will become checked. When that other mod is removed, the dependencies are removed (if not needed forma different one). By unchecking that, you can remove it from being a dependency and it will remain on its own Edited February 15, 2020 by linuxgurugamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBitMore Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I'm experiencing difficulties with CKAN. Every few mods it tosses me a 403 (Forbidden). This goes on random mods of my 1.4.5 install (it did MechJeb2 once, is doing KAS multiple times, has done the GPP Textures once). It makes installation long and painful for those things that need installing via a backup site, and for those that don't have a backup, it cancels the installation. I'm gonna install those things manually. I just wanted to let you know these mods were being difficult in 1.4.5 installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GitHub doesn't like it when you download many things in parallel. Usually you can just retry the same changes and it will work eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try this with installing each of the troublesome mods individually. Thanks for the insight! Edit: KAS is still not installing, no matter how many times I spam retry.

EasyAce Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 There has been some time since I used CKAN and I am unsure on how the versions and updates are working now. One place I red that the majority of mods will automatically be compatible to new versions of KSP, but experience tells me otherwise. How is it now. Should I just set the setting fpr compatible version in CKAN to 1.8.0 and go ahead download whaterver mods I prefer... or should I still wait for the metadata to be up to date?

Expand This differs from update to update. A lot of mods broke from KSP 1.7 to 1.8 because of a Unity update and thus the old DLLs didn't work anymore. KSP 1.8 to KSP 1.9 only broke a few visual mods, most others are working fine.

Expand I'd suggest to take a quick look at the last page of the forum thread for each mod you want to install that isn't shown as 1.9 compatible yet. You'll likely find either the author stating something about the compatibility, and/or others who tried it out. Additionally, if install the mods in small groups and start + test KSP in between, it'll be easier to catch possibly malfunctioning mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miklkit Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I just tried to run CKAN to see if any mods had been updated and got an "unhandled exception" error stating "InvalidArgument=Value of "2" is not valid for "index"". It worked fine this morning when it installed Mechjeb2 into a clean new KSP v1.9 install. Since then I manually installed KAS/KIS which seems to not cause any issues. I deleted CKAN then DLed and installed it again with the same result. I'm guessing it is something on my end causing this. Any idea what it might be?

HebaruSan Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Supposedly, an astounding 1.3 billion people can read simplified Chinese. If that group includes you, you're invited to test a translation of CKAN generously submitted by GitHub user 050644zf! Say hello here to receive a test build: https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/pull/3014#issuecomment-593601521 We're interested in anything that: Doesn't make sense Doesn't fit in the available space Could be phrased more clearly Is formatted poorly, etc. The active CKAN team members do not speak Chinese (as far as I know), so we can't evaluate this translation fairly, and we'd like additional sets of eyes to check it out.

HebaruSan Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 https://www.githubstatus.com/ says that GitHub is having some problems right now, which will probably have a big impact on CKAN. Watch that page for the current status, consider waiting to use CKAN, and wish our friends on the GitHub server teams the best as they work on whatever it is.

Krzeszny Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) CKAN lists Firespitter Core as a dependency for Lithobrake Exploration Technologies, while it's not a dependency - it couldn't be found in the configs and there is no information about the dependency in LET's thread. Also, the mod Fuel Tanks Plus is marked as 1.9.1 compatible in CKAN but it's not. Many users complain about its radial tanks causing major problems and the mod is officially marked as 1.4.1-compatible, not 1.9.1. I wanted to report metadata problems on GitHub by clicking on "report an issue with mod metadata" but the link leads to the same page as CKAN-related bug reports and there's nowhere I can report metadata problems there.
