[KSP >= 1.3.0] TweakScale - Under Lisias' Management - 2.4.8.6 - 2024-0921

Good day! I'm sorry in advance for, perhaps, another one question that was solved earlier, but I just didn't find solution worked for me. I've used TweackScale for almost as long as I play KSP. But only now I've got and issue till loading screen.  I have plenty of mods, and to check if this error triggered from some another mod - I delete all of them and try only TweakScale along. Well, still this error sign on loading screen. It tells:

"Unfortunately TweakScale didn't found needed DLLs.

There is no safe 'bla bla bla' without supported DLLs 'bla bla bla'

Missing class: The type initialized for 'KSPe.IO.Hierarchy`1' threw an exception (and etc.)"

Oh, yeah… Old "friend".

There's a nasty bug on a thingy called Assembly Resolver/Loader since KSP 1.8.0 , and it's pretty nasty indeed: when an Assembly borks the loading due a missing or broken dependency, something breaks inside KSP and from that point, everything else borks while loading.

Yeah, that's it: DLL A, D, E, F and the kitchen's sink borks because B thrown an Exception while trying to load  C that it's missing, and B needed it. On sane system, only B would be affected (and that's what used to happen until KSP 1.7.3), but on KSP 1.8 and newer…

So your last update installed something that triggered this problem, and since TweakScale detected it, it's the one yelling about. The funny thing is that TweakScale is almost 99% surely fine (never got a report like this one due a faulty TweakScale installation, it was always something else).

For the protocol - I'm using last version of KSP for this time period. It's 1.12.2(not pirate, licensed, in Steam) 

Funny fact: I'm starting to be able to infer the KSP the user is using by the bugs he/she reports!

What could cause this problem, even if I do exactly what installing instructions told me to do?

Well, the answer is simple: something borked due a missing/broken dependency and triggered that nasty KSP bug.

Detecting exactly who is the trigger is easy: check your KSP.log and look for the first occurrence of a Exception called System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException , as this example from a previous report:

[ERR 14:41:14.058] AssemblyLoader: Exception loading 'MoleUtils': System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Exception of type 'System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException' was thrown.
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes(System.Reflection.Assembly,bool)
  at System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes () [0x00000] in <9577ac7a62ef43179789031239ba8798>:0
  at AssemblyLoader.LoadAssemblies () [0x000e6] in <cd473063d3a2482f8d93d388d0c95035>:0

It's important to be sure you found THE FIRST ONE, as everything else are bogus (as they are being issued by the faulty code triggered by the first occurrence).

The next line will tell you what gone wrong:

Additional information about this exception:

 System.TypeLoadException: Could not resolve type with token 01000003 (from typeref, class/assembly WildBlueIndustries.Window`1, WildBlueTools, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null)

On this case, this cryptographic message is telling us that MoleUtils was expecting something on WildBlueTools that was not there.

This is another example from another report:

[ERR 18:27:45.081] AssemblyLoader: Exception loading 'Konstruction': System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Exception of type 'System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException' was thrown.
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes(System.Reflection.Assembly,bool)
  at System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes () [0x00000] in <9577ac7a62ef43179789031239ba8798>:0
  at AssemblyLoader.LoadAssemblies () [0x000e6] in <cd473063d3a2482f8d93d388d0c95035>:0

Additional information about this exception:

 System.TypeLoadException: Could not resolve type with token 01000066 (from typeref, class/assembly USITools.UI.Window, USITools, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null) assembly:USITools, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null type:USITools.UI.Window member:(null) signature:<none>

Exactly the same problem, but from a different Add'On.

These are usually cumbersome to fix, because you need to reach the Maintainer and ask him where is the right DLL you need, as the one currently on your system, by some reason, is not compatible to the Add'Ons you have installed.

This can be a royal pain in the SAS because not rarely the right DLL for an Add'On you have installed will break another one - usually happening because the maintainer updated a library used by many Add'Ons, but didn't had time to update everything to the latest version of the lib - and yeah, this happens, including to me: the TweakScale 2.4.6.0 took a long time to reach the streets because it uses a new (non retrocompatible) release of a thingy called KSPe.Light.TweakScale, that some TweakScale Companions use (and so I had to update everything first, and then publish everything at the same time).

Software, Laws and sausages - it's better not to know how they made them.

Finally, the other kind of this problem I have records of:

[ERR 17:21:27.114] AssemblyLoader: Exception loading 'ScrapYard_ContractConfigurator': System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Exception of type 'System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException' was thrown.
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes(System.Reflection.Assembly,bool)
  at System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes () [0x00000] in <9577ac7a62ef43179789031239ba8798>:0
  at AssemblyLoader.LoadAssemblies () [0x000e6] in <cd473063d3a2482f8d93d388d0c95035>:0

Additional information about this exception:

 System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'ContractConfigurator, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.
File name: 'ContractConfigurator, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

This one is about a missing DLL, and it is pretty easy to fix : find the Add'On where the missing dependency is and install it.

 

Additionally, you can send me the KSP.log so I can check it for you. This ends up being useful for me too, as I keep track of the problems happening on the field on this moment, and can help on planning the next releases (as to be aware of a supported Add'On  passing trough a heavy legacy breaking update that needs to be handled by TweakScale).

Woah... that's a lot  I will try to deal with it tomorrow, thank you very much! 
Okay, I uploaded my last KSP.log on google disk. I set it to watcher-commentator mode, but if there will be some trouble - let me know!

Got it! You are lucky, it's a very simple problem:

[ERR 19:28:38.811] [AssemblyLoader] Exception when getting assembly attributes: Exception of type 'System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException' was thrown.

Additional information about this exception:

 System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type of field 'SoundtrackEditor.GuiManager:toolbarControl' (14) due to: Could not load file or assembly 'ToolbarControl, Version=0.1.9.6, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. assembly:ToolbarControl, Version=0.1.9.6, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null type:<unknown type> member:(null) signature:<none>

You forgot to install ToolbarControl or, if you are using CKAN, someone forgot to flag it as a dependency for SoundtrackEditor!

Cheers!

ANNOUNCE

Release 2.4.6.3 is available for downloading, with the following changes:

• Closes Issues:
  • #211 Mitigate the HotKeys being hijacked by 3rd-parties
  • #209 TweakScale not installed on wrong directory
  • #197 Flags (the parts attachable) are losing the attaching points when its parent is duplicated
  • #167 Mirror Symmetry is displacing some (all?) parts when scaled
  • #139 Scaling Part with Variants that change attachment nodes is not working as expecnted

See OP for the links.

Notes

RL™ can be funny sometimes. I'm having a terribly busy week, but today I had to burn some midnight oil and due the Black Friday, one client flooded our servers with data that needed to be housekept before an update - and boy, this housekeeping took the whole night.

So I had time to tinker with TweakScale in the mean time.  

I managed to locate and fix two very annoying bugs (incredibly simple to fix after the heavy refactoring on 2.4.6.0!) and by plain luck these two fixes combined closed 4 issues. It worths to mention that in the process, I think I found another KSP bug…  Check this comment on the #167 if you are curious.

— — — — —

This Release will be published using the following Schedule:

• GitHub, reaching first manual installers and users of KSP-AVC. Right now.
• CurseForge. 
• SpaceDock (and CKAN users). Will not be published. Use 2.4.6.4 instead.

The reasoning is that I'm wasted, and I prefer to avoid the risk of making mistakes while publishing the thing - and I could use the time to have some feedback from early-adopters.

This is some examples of the problems (finally) fixed by this release:

Spoiler

1) Attaching nodes on Variants on mirroring:

Before:

Now: 

2) Misbehaving symmetry while attaching parts with Auto Scale:

Before: 

Now: 

(note that AutoScale doesn't have meta-information about adapters, so I doesn't auto scale parts being attached to it)

3) Weird misbehaving on Chain Scaling parts on mirrors

Before: 

Now:

Same message with anything after 2.4.6.2

Just read (it's a work in progress skill for me) your message that another mod installed can mess with assembly loader and prevent tweakscale from loading.  Here is my log file without tweakscale installed.

There's no TweakScale installed on this KSP.log, sir. I can't help!

Got it! You are lucky, it's a very simple problem:

[ERR 19:28:38.811] [AssemblyLoader] Exception when getting assembly attributes: Exception of type 'System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException' was thrown.

Additional information about this exception:

 System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type of field 'SoundtrackEditor.GuiManager:toolbarControl' (14) due to: Could not load file or assembly 'ToolbarControl, Version=0.1.9.6, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. assembly:ToolbarControl, Version=0.1.9.6, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null type:<unknown type> member:(null) signature:<none>

You forgot to install ToolbarControl or, if you are using CKAN, someone forgot to flag it as a dependency for SoundtrackEditor!

Cheers!

Good day again! I'm sorry for not thanking for help before. Have done just now, what you advised about, even with your updated version of TweakScale, but still getting this message. 

I also tried to search the problem in Log by myself and even find something. There was a line "Cannot find config in file : WATERFALL_SETTINGS". I've installed this waterfall mod, but not only message remains, but even in Log this problem stayed. 

With it also finds part "Unable to use a named GUIStyle without a current skin", but here I just don't get it at all, so as what I need to do with this)

Also, installed ToolbarControl not resolve the problem - "System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type of field 'SoundtrackEditor.GuiManager:toolbarControl' "

That is strange.

I've uploaded new log, just in case -

Strange indeed. The Log says SoundtrackEditor is not being able to be loaded because ToolbarControl has something it didn't understand.

[ERR 16:03:02.085] [AssemblyLoader] Exception when getting assembly attributes: Exception of type 'System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException' was thrown.

Additional information about this exception:

 System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type of field 'SoundtrackEditor.GuiManager:toolbarControl' (14) due to: Could not load file or assembly 'ToolbarControl, Version=0.1.
9.6, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. assembly:ToolbarControl, Version=0.1.9.6, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null type:<unknown type> member:(null) signature:<none>

Digging around, I found this:

[WRN 16:03:00.925] AssemblyLoader: Assembly 'ToolbarController' has not met dependency 'ClickThroughBlocker' V1.0.0
[WRN 16:03:00.925] AssemblyLoader: Assembly 'ToolbarController' is missing 1 dependencies

So I think Toolbar Control is borking because CTB is missing, and since ToolbarControl is borked, SoundTrackEditor borks too.

Try to install CTB. If this doesn't fixes the problem, you will need to reach SoundtrackEditor's mainteiner for help!

Okay, that goes too far XD (Spoilers - not working still)

I've decided to delete Soundtrack Editor, because your mod is unbelievably more helpful, rather than new background sounds. 

I've also installed CTB (google gives me only one mod wich is named so - ClickThroughBlocker. Hope this is the one).

After this I was searching for these log parts you've shown me, and didn't find them. Think it's a good sign. But found something new.

I think I can just type the numbers like "16:03:00.925" and this will be easily for you to find through search bar. 

1 - ERR 00:50:17.394  (and a few more below it)

2 - ERR 00:50:18.035 (and two more below, messing with MeshEngineStock and MeshEngineTweakScale)

3 - LOG 00:50:24.559  (error mentioned TweakScale itself, also adding this known part about 'KSPe.IO.Hierarchy`1' )

4 - ERR 00:50:24.560 (again this GUIStyle and my completely unknowledge of what it is)

5 - ERR 00:50:24.567 (strange, but again something with Waterfall_settings)

6 - ERR 00:50:27.837  (Something about the thing called DXT3 and that format is not supported, + advise to use DXT5)
Next goes just errors of loading some textures but meh, thinking there is no such big problem. 

(Hope it helped at least a little )

Removing Add'Ons is not the best way out of the mess IMHO, but sometimes we need to make compromises.

Let's hope that by solving the remaining problems, you can reinstall it back.

This one is on me.  Something changed on Windows 10 and it caught me with my pants down.

I'm going to work on it this week https://github.com/net-lisias-ksp/TweakScale/issues/216

But in the mean time, you can download the 2.4.6.2 release and manually extract the KSP.Light.TweakScale.dll and replace the one from 2.4.6.3. Of course you may also just rollback to 2.4.6.2, but the .3 release has some interesting fixes and I think it may worth the pain.

These ones are annoying, but harmless. I will tackle them down ASAP, but it's hard to wave a important bug fix or a nice feature to fix something that, at least until this moment, it's completely harmless.

Yep, now we nailed it. A proper solution is work in progress, but the workaround above (use KSPe.Light.TweakScale from the 2.4.6.2 release) will work for now.

In time, are you using SymLinks, mount points or similar on your rig?

I have two news - bad and good.

Good - this notice on loading screen is disappears, + got twicer FPS. 

Bad - nothing can be scaled at all. You can choose part, find this TweakScale option in bar, but scale of part didn't changing. And another strange thing - I can't use any solar panels. To be more specific - those who are pulled out. When I try to drag them from menu list - they looks glitchy...like idk.. imagine two variation of part. 1 - wich is covered by green color and means "kk, I can be attached here!" and 2-  "nope, find another part, I'll stay grey." And this two colors are flickering with almost the speed of light and you can't do anything with them. Only drop back in list.

Those few wich is not moving - working ok.

What means that the constant TweakScale borks were hitting your FPS (sigh). Well, let's fix this.

What's happening is that I had "split" TweakScale in many cores, each one specialised on a situation on user's rig. This saves me from creating a different TweakScale version for every possible situation in the World (it's like the Companions, but focused on KSP only). But since that bug is screwing up exactly the Assembly Loader/Resolver, KSP is not fulfilling TweakScale's requests for loading them.

Right now, I can think of two choices for fixing your problem until I nail that pesky bug on KSPe.Light.TweakScale:

1. Remove 2.4.6.3 and install 2.4.6.2 (the previous version).
2. Download 2.4.6.2, extract the KSPe.Light.TweakScale.dll file and copy it into GameData/TweakScale/Plugins folder.
   1. Or just download this file (a 2.4.6.3 release with the DLL already replaced) and use it to reinstall TweakScale, after completely removing the current one.

This will allow you to play while I fix that pesky `Kernel32.dll` problem on a way that doesn't hurt users.

But it's there, I assure you. Check this link on how to locate KSP.log and then publish it on dropbox or something (and post the link here!) so I can inspect it for you. I can advance that there're one rogue patch on your GameData that it's patching a part with TweakScale twice, and this is really far from being safe, as this can lead TweakScale to confusion and screw up the scaling of that part on flight on the next boot.

It's a way to redirect directories and folders from one location to another. It's also how Windows "mounts" a disk "inside" a directory on another one, so you can use everything as one big disk without having to remember in which disk things are.

Check this link for more info.

Also getting the "KSPe.IO.Hierarchy`1" error thrown in my face.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jv1zz19gf0d1e7k/Player.log?dl=0

I'm trying to get it fixed by myself, but I'm hitting a wall. I reverted everything I could find to the last working configuration but I'm getting nowhere. Feels like I'm turning into my father who never figured out how to adjust the clock on the VCR. First post of this (111th) page is gibberish to me at the moment. Maybe I'd do better after enough sleep, but for now nothing.

 

EDIT: Well, damn. After trying to revert back to an even older, working config, I got a different message and this time it was about modulemanagerwatchdog, and it led me to (I realize now why it's called that) ksp.lisias.net. Cleaned up as was told, and now the game boot without throwing an error in my face. Fingers crossed!

Looks like yes. But that's my mistake, I didn't say at the first point that I've done it as you said. So, yeah, now I've done it twice. It's even better in terms of checking of will it deal the problem or not.
So, it won't, Then I'll just wait your new patch ^^

So even by installing 2.4.6.2's KSPe.Light.TweakScale, or by rollbacking entirely to 2.4.6.2, the issue is still present?

well… In a way or another, I just found information that clears TweakScale from the problem. Kernel32.dll is part of the Windows Operating System, and it's not being available is a problem on Windows that need to be corrected. Kernel32 provides Win32 File System File Management Functions for both Win32 and Win64 programs, and it's needed to provide support for one of the many Namespaces Windows uses.

In a nutshell, the terrible Microsoft DLL practices that always plagued this sad excuse of Operating System they call Windows are bitting us again.

 

@Moshbot, @Axelord FTW,   @KAO, you guys need to fix your Windows, I found instructions for how to fix your Windows from a trustable source here.
