Yes, please. I've just updated my build system to create and upload an appropriate .version file. In the process creating version 0.1.4. I expect that while ti's built against KSP 1.4.5, it should work with pretty much any other version of KSP.

So, a min KSP versoin of 1.3.1, max of 1.5.9 ???

CKAN will get the info from the .verison file, please let me know when it's been uploaded 

@taniwha The .version file has a syntax error, and also should list the versions of KSP.   I checked it with https://jsonformatter.org/

  The following is correct and has the KSP info:

{
  "NAME": "EarlyBird",
  "URL": "http://taniwha.org/~bill/EarlyBird.version",
  "DOWNLOAD": "http://taniwha.org/~bill/EarlyBird_v0.1.4.zip",
  "VERSION": {
    "MAJOR": 0,
    "MINOR": 1,
    "PATCH": 4,
    "BUILD": 0
  },
  "KSP_VERSION_MIN": {
    "MAJOR": 1,
    "MINOR": 3,
    "PATCH": 1
  },
  "KSP_VERSION_MAX": {
    "MAJOR": 1,
    "MINOR": 5,
    "PATCH": 99
  }
}

I was told it could be left out, but thank you for the correct info. And oops, forgot to remove a comma.

I've done up a 0.1.5 to fix the .version.

Great, I'll get it into CKAN later today.

It may be possible to leave the KSP versions out, but I don't know how the CKAN bot deals with that.  Safer just to have it there.

As stated on the Wiki the KSP Version fields are optional and if the NetKAN metadata tried to pull the version info from a AVC .version file when there is none I would presume that CKAN would fall back to the default "ksp_version" value which is listed as "any".

If you want to be safe, don't list the KSP Version info unecessarily in the .version file (it only causes you the hassle of updating it every 3 months now KSP is on a scheduled release cycle) but also get the CKAN guys to put the "ksp_version": "any", field into the NetKAN metadata for the mod.

@taniwha

I'm working on the netkan file now.  I didn't realize you actually posted a direct link to the file which is on your server.

This is a small problem, because it means that the Netkan bot can't automatically update the info when you come out with a new release.  

It would be better if you either put the download on Spacedock  or on Github in the Releases.  While it's not possible to automatic pushing a release to Spacedock, it is possible to do so with Github (I'm doing it for my mods)

I'll get the netkan finished for the current file, but it will need to be manually updated for every new release.

We actually can handle Taniwha-style releases automatically as of recently. I've updated this netkan to use that feature.

Thank you.  Personally, I prefer to have a common location for downloads so I don't have to host it.

[taniwha]

I have verified (for my own satisfaction) that Early Bird works in KSP 1.5 without changes.

[taniwha]

I have released version 0.1.6 of EarlyBird, fixing an asset installation error (missing texture) and doubled mod name in the settings window.

[taniwha]

I have released version 0.1.7 of Early Bird. This fixes incorrect calculation of day length for moons. The error was particularly noticeable on Mun.

[Agustin]

I don't understand how to download previous versions from github. What link do I have to click?
It seems it can' be done without CKAN, but I just don't use CKAN. And I need a previous version of this mod because last version bugs RP-1.

You don't. You edit the version number in the provided URL.

Yeah, I know it's necro, but no sense starting a new thread for this not listing in CKAN for 1.6.1 or 1.7

[taniwha]

I have verified that Early Birld works in KSP 1.7.1 without changes.

@taniwha Given the changes in the engine for 1.8, I'm waiting for a 1.8 update

Edited November 29, 2019 by linuxgurugamer

[taniwha]

I heave released version 0.2.0 of Early Bird. The only change is to update for KSP 1.8.

[HebaruSan]

Probably want to update the versions in the version file, it says 1.3.1 -- 1.5.99 instead of 1.8:

http://taniwha.org/~bill/EarlyBird.version

{
	"NAME":"EarlyBird",
	"URL":"http://taniwha.org/~bill/EarlyBird.version",
	"DOWNLOAD":"http://taniwha.org/~bill/EarlyBird_v0.2.0.zip",
	"VERSION":{"MAJOR":0,"MINOR":2,"PATCH":0,"BUILD":0},
	"KSP_VERSION_MIN":{"MAJOR":1,"MINOR":3,"PATCH":1},
	"KSP_VERSION_MAX":{"MAJOR":1,"MINOR":5,"PATCH":99}
}

 

[taniwha]

Ah, yes, I will do so. Thank you.

I"ve fixed the copy on my server, I'll sort out the copy in git later.

[taniwha]

I have confirmed that EarlyBird 0.2.0 works in KSP 1.9.1 and updated the thread title accordingly.

Do you have the ability to update the version file as well?

• http://taniwha.org/~bill/EarlyBird.version

[taniwha]

Yeah, thanks for the heads-up

Done

[taniwha]

I have released version 0.2.1 of Early Bird. This was built against KSP 1.10.0 and tested also with 1.9.1, so should work with 1.8+

The only real change from 0.2.0 is the addition of support for Kerbal Alarm Clock (@Tonka Crash you might be interested in this): the in-flight window provides a button for adding a KAC alarm.

Hi! I'm having trouble grabbing this one from CKAN, @linuxgurugamer

It says: The remote name could not be resolved: 'ia601902.us.archive.org'

(btw, thanks so much for your work on countless mods!)

I'm not CKAN, you should ask your question there

The URL CKAN uses is:  https://archive.org/download/EarlyBird-0.2.1.0/5A01D667-EarlyBird-0.2.1.0.zip

Presumably this was redirected to the host you mentioned for load balancing, which then had some sort of issue. The CKAN team doesn't run archive.org, so we won't be able to investigate or fix whatever problem it was. Sorry for the inconvenience, but this is the only URL we can use for this since @taniwha's server started breaking down and distributing corrupted files.
