That's a big ask... 

Pretty sure posting your entire KSP folder is illegal. If that's the case remove it.

Also, If this is just your entire GameData folder (i doubt it is) you are also violating a ton of mod licenses.

distributing the game is illegal no matter how you do it... instead of distributing the entire game, provide steps to troubleshoot the guys issues.

and remove the link from your post.

[CttCJim]

yeah that's why i said "something different". like sending just the save folder.

[monstah]

Link removed from post. No, it's not OK to share the game folder, either by post or PM or any other way.

In any case, it seems to me a save file and some logs should do, no?

[Pamynx]

Oups, I do not though about the licence problem.

I go the save and managed to reproduce the problem. 

Give me few minutes and a fix will be ready !

By the way @Galileo, as all the mods where from CKAN (except mine), what is the problem sending the Game folder ?

[CttCJim]

I think the main problem is that KSP itself is not freeware so I was providing the entire game to anyone who might want to pirate it, although since it's the steam version that would be difficult. Regardless, there it is. Thanks for getting on the fix so quickly, I'm really looking forward to playing with this mod!

Same reason for the KSP game folders: people may have mods installed that do not allow redistribution, except from thier respective "official" download links
its a licensing issue
thats why sometimes you'll see people ask for not only logs, but just a *screenshot* of contents of gamedata folder... basically gives a list of installed mods, without actually "sharing" the mods

New version 2.0.12 is available with this bug fixed.

Enjoy !

[Vanamonde]

Some references to illegal stuff have been removed from this thread. Doesn't seem to have been done maliciously, but still, be careful about this kind of thing, please. 

[Pamynx]

Sure, I am not very aware of the licencing stuff and such, its is 100% my fault and will be more vigilant in the future.

[sc0rch]

I've been a fan of this mod since the 0.9 days, really looking forward to playing it in 1.3.1. So grateful that you've picked it up, Pamynx.

Just a quick question though - where do I find the part .cfg files for ndMovieTheater and ndflightschool?  I feel like they should be either in science with the university or in the utility folder. I can't find it in either one and I'm making sure that I'm not bugging out on my end and opening the zip wrong or something.

[Pamynx]

Those 2 part are not operational at the moment. I will try to bring them back when I have all the population management and life support operational.

As I am not very comfortable with part development, if you want to give a hand, let me know !

I am sorry for the low activity on the development of the mod at the moment, I am quite busy, but I am still around !

[sc0rch]

Oh no, that's quite alright. I didn't mean to sound pushy, I know you're doing this project with your free time without charge - a (for lack of a better term) labor of love as it were.

I"m no THAT experienced modding, but I was going to try to make some kind of patch where the theater and flight school gave you scouts, medics, geologists, etc if you had USI-LS and MKS/OKS installed. I actually have no idea what the Civilian Population system would give you if you didn't have a life support mod installed and would be more than willing to help you out in any way I can.

Again, sorry if I come off as sounding like I'm demanding additional features.

No problem, you are not pushy

I just want to warn you that if those feature are feature I would like to add to the mod, do not expect them too early

Hey, I'm having some trouble installing CivPop through CKAN.

The error occurs on every attempt to install CivPop, even after a clean wipe of the entire KSP folder.

Convert Enriched Uranium into Depleted Uranium, Xenon Gas and Electricity !

Please do not confuse Depleted Uranium with Depleted Fuel which is the CRP waste product of Nuclear Fission

to clarify:

Uranium Ore is split into Enriched Uranium and Depleted Uranium in a Isotope Centrifuge

(Fertile) Depleted Uranium  or Thorium is converted into  Plutonium or (Fissionable) Enriched Uranium , in a Breeder reactor,

Plutonium  or Enriched Uranium undergoes fission and is converted into Actinides in a Nuclear Power Reactor.

Actinides can then be reprocesed into Depleted Fuel  and Enriched Fuel in a Fuel Re-processor.

It seems to be a silly problem with the ZIP file; details available via new comments at the above link.

To sum up, the ZIP file says that you need PKZip 1.0 to unzip Traits.cfg in one place (the local file header), and PKZip 2.0 to unzip it in another place (the central directory), and since those versions don't match, the ZIP extraction library that CKAN uses reports that it's invalid. Does that field actually matter today, 25 years since the release of PKZip 2.0? Probably not. But it's still technically bad data, and the ZIP library that CKAN uses doesn't have a way to ignore this problem.

@Pamynx, I'm curious what tool you used to create this ZIP file. CKAN deals with many, many ZIP files, and I'm always surprised when a new problem like this crops up.

[Pamynx]

Thanks for the information, I will try to fix that.

For your information, as I am a Java guy, I build the project with Maven, and the Zip is build by the assembly plugin.

Thanks! I tried cloning your mod from GitHub and ran "mvn package", and I think I see the same issue in my locally built ZIP as in the download.

... so blaming Maven's Assembly plugin looks like a safe bet. Do you know if it has a bug tracker?

[Pamynx]

The page is there : http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/index.html

I downloaded the source, and it seems to use "plexus-archiver" https://codehaus-plexus.github.io/plexus-archiver/

If you can try to check if you get the same problem with this lib quickly, I would be gratefull, or I will try myself as soon as I get 5 minutes.

I'm trying to audit Plexus Archiver, but I don't see any explicit handling of these fields yet. It looks like it might be somewhere in org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip...

EDIT: Sorry, this is probably off-topic now if it wasn't before. I'll shift to posting updates on the GitHub link.

One last post to resolve the issue: The nice maintainer at the Commons Compress project reports that this issue is fixed in version 1.15 of that package, with their latest version being something like 1.16.1. That would be libcommons-compress-java on Ubuntu and possibly other systems, and the latest version in my OS's repo is 1.13, so I find this explanation plausible. @Pamynx, if you can find a way to upgrade your commons-compress package to 1.15 or later, your existing build pipeline should become CKAN-compatible.

[Pamynx]

Ok, I will work on it this week end. I see how to fix it. And I will warn the developpers of those librairies in order to have those officially updated.

Thank you very much for your investigations !
