  1. 1. Should we do a modification on the stock solar system?

    • Use the stock system, possibly with planet addons
      25
    • Use a modified stock system like JNSQ or 6.4x (this will likely be a bit more difficult)

    • Use a modded planetary system like Galileo, New Horizons, etc.
      2

  2. 2. Which of the following rocket parts mods do you want the most?

FOXTROT bets, I want the pack!

@greenTurtle1134 proudly presents: The Pack!

  Reveal hidden contents

Notes:

  • The 1.9 version for Near Future Technologies is back-compatible. Download the latest version.
  • If it's taking too much RAM, you can delete the IVAs folder in Stockalike Station Parts. It's optional
  • Modpack might change a little bit, but this is it for now

Oh yeah, I completely forgot to post the results of this. It took 5 minutes (but ate 28% of my battery)

What are the stages for mentioned in The Pack?

Expand  

My stages of testing; Stage One was the most likely to cause issues because they change game mechanics and/or add information that the Forget/REMEMBER program will have to store, while Stage Two is just parts. Therefore, I decided to finalize Stage One first. Stage One is complete; I might add more parts mods to Stage Two.

Tl;dr - it doesn't matter

It makes sense to portion them into smaller bits. For motivation, I guess? I dunno. No idea why, but it always seems better when split up into smaller parts.

It does. Stage 1 contains finicky mods that could break the game, and Stage 2 contains your everyday average stuff. This could help us determine what went wrong when troubleshooting faster.

It's like ordering mods from Safest to Most Dangerous. The Most Dangerous ones are obviously the firsts to look into, which could help us solve problems faster.

Eep. Speaking from recent experience, Kopernicus could put a lot of strain on my computer. Unless it was OPM that stretched my loading times.

Expand  

Turning the graphics settings way down seems to help with me. We'll be using OPM, so it's a moot point which strains your computer.

Near Future Aeronautics? Maybe Deep Freeze as well?

Expand  

Does NFA work on 1.8? It was last updated for 1.6 and the source code was lost, so it likely won't be updated for later versions. That's why I'm excluding it.

DeepFreeze would add another layer of complexity to the Kerbal copying aspect as I'd have to test where Kerbal names are stored in a DeepFreeze part and such. It'd just be a hassle to include. We can drop it in later if we really need it.

I feel you. Sometimes the computer just... refuses to work.

Close everything else and set battery mode to max performance, maybe? That might only apply to Windows.

Expand  

Nope.

Trying to trim it down just so I can play, lots of cool stuff in the list so picking what to drop is a bit difficult. Fact is though, going from fifteen add-ons to forty-foxtrot-six is just too much for this potato.

I also think OPM is a bad idea, some computers are just too potato-like. I think stock planets will be fine.

Instead replace the extra memory space with Hullcam?

Expand  

I doubt that OPM is even the most memory-draining thing on the list - ALL THE NEAR FUTURE probably is. Maybe I should trim out everything except Electrical and Propulsion (even Spacecraft isn't really necessary because BDB already has so much)

Everyone has to have the same mods, though, so if you can't run it we all need to slim down the modpack.

Just thought of something. Are you running the 64 bit version of KSP? The 32 bit version can't install many mods because it's limited to using about 4Gb of RAM; after that it won't load, because there's just not enough memory to store the mods

Ok, but BDB? You sure? That's a lot of parts and extra stuff. I'm good with cutting down on Near Future stuff though. I really hope we keep Solar though.

Maybe the mod pack should be really bare bones.

64bit for me.

Ok, I have a sneaking suspicion there's some weirdness going on with ReStock. I removed most of the new mods and a few I had that were already working and it wouldn't foxtrot start, just stayed on initial loading.

Just ran a control group experiment; full stock KSP is now starting. Next I'll throw ReStock in and see what happens.

Science! *he says with fake enthusiasm*

I eagerly await the results of this science.

See, part of the problem is that I haven't been able to get a stable potential player base. If you look back through the thread, it seemed that people wanted BDB in December.

I'm frankly good with the pack as it is, but I don't want to exclude people with slower computers.

Good/bad news. ReStock works. Which means I have no idea what is the problem.

Adding ReStock Plus and USI-LS now. LS was working before these shenanigans, and Plus seems like a logical next step.

Expand  

Okay, here's another possibility - some of the mods bundle different versions of ModuleManager. After installing your mods, go into your GameData folder and see if there's multiple copies of the ModuleManager .dll there. If so, delete all except the latest version (4.1.3)

MM documentation seemed to indicate that wouldn't be an issue (at least as far as I understood.) Nevertheless, I'll track that as Science! continues.

Future reference: I'll be consolidating results below.

Latest: Test 6b. Testing suspended indefinitely.
