I thought I understood Kerbal Experience Settings

[gamerscircle]

Hi me again -

I started a new game - with the options

Enable Kerbal Experience
Kerbal Level Up Immediately 

 

Both disabled, I mainly am doing the above, as I have a mod that is a little more realistic , however - Not even using the MOD yet, the kerbals are all 5 star and some haven't even done anything.  If I want them to gain XP through a mod, How should the setting be set?   Is there a way to change the settings once a game has been started and can I reset the kerbals back to zero?

If this is disabled, all the Kerbals will be at five stars regardless of what you do.

There's quite a few mods out there, instead of having us guess at which one it is, perhaps a clue would help us help you?   And you'll probably find instructions on how to do exactly what you want in this mod's release thread here on the forum.

I was not aware that that option would so that.. I just thought they were not get XP at all.  As for the training of the kerbal with a mod, they are called Training Laboratory & Field Training Facility.

Is there a way to enable the option once a game has been started?

Thank you for the information and reply.

They don't They just also have max XP so they can actually do things.

Esc, settings, click the thing that looks like a title but is actually a button reading your game modes, and it's in there.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it also puts everybody down to the level they should be, based on where they've been.

I did think about being able to just go into the setting > advanced and re-enable it, but the "Enable Kerbal Experience" option is not listed.

Weird.

I just tried this and it seems to work fine. It even "remembers" what the xps should be based on where the Kerbals have gone, like I expected the setting to do.

BACK UP THE PERSISTENT FILE FIRST

Open it up and look for this:

		AdvancedParams
		{
			EnableKerbalExperience = False
			ImmediateLevelUp = False
			AllowNegativeCurrency = False
			PressurePartLimits = False
			GPartLimits = False
			GKerbalLimits = False
			KerbalGToleranceMult = 1
			ResourceTransferObeyCrossfeed = False
			ActionGroupsAlways = False
			BuildingImpactDamageMult = 0.05
			PartUpgradesInSandbox = False
			PartUpgradesInCareer = True
			PartUpgradesInMission = False
		}

That first one is what you want. Or the first 2 depending. Just change it/them to True.
