Where do I find the Log file ?

[decotime]

Hello Everyone

I have a question regarding the reporting of a issue with a mod. My question is where do I find the log to send to a mod developer so they can get to the bottom of my issue.

I have screen shots to forward on, any other things I could pass on to assist ? I see some modders always ask for a log, but I have no idea where it is or how to do this.

Any advice would be great thank you.

\your-ksp-directory\ksp.log
\your-ksp-directory\ksp_x64_data\output_log.txt

They have different information, so give them both.

Alright , i've been working on this issue with KGEX's More hitchhikers' Mode and in fact it's rather intersting that he now has a V 1.1.0.0 version out.. After downloading and unzipping it, I found that there was no "Parts " folder in V 1.1.0.0. I also checked the V 1.0.04 version and the parts folder is there... So already that 's one that I'm going to report to KGEX.

 

Now I tried this experiment, and in fact it  comes down that when I mered (and yes, this is where I took V1.1.0.0 (which had No "Folder" and merged it with the 1.0.0.4 the thing is that I got not a fatal error but rather a warning.. I'm looking in the Log folder and the KSP Data folder , but there is no Logs being written into them..

 

Now this brings up an interesting question.. Why have  No Parts folder in 1.1.0.0 and a parts folder in 1.0.0.4? This is a rather curious question as to why I can't get the parts to Appear in 1.1.0.0 and I can when I add the 1.0.0.4 mod Parts folder into the mod.. And it's this one thing that causes the issues.. It is an issue that @zeroKerbal will ahve to address in furture updates to his mod.. So B9 Parts switch is in the cleear.. Will approach @zerokerbal on this one for an answer why there is so much inconsistency with his mod. Be cause it's only a matter of time for this to happen.

Also a side note, and this has been brought up before but another issue could be with Tweakscale. I've been reading in this thread that Tweakscale and B9 Parts switch are at odds with each other... But then Without the ability to get logs well, it's gonna be hard to prove anything here..

But in my opinion I feel that mods should work smoothly.. sometimes it's a bit of Errant Coding that causes these things to happen Just my thoughts.

The log I always use is just *your KSP directory*/KSP.log. Finding it is quite simple; you just have to scroll slightly past all of the files in the main folder, then get to the configs and stuff. It will most likely appear as being a text document just being named KSP to you.
