automatically load save and flight scene at startup

[Youen]

During plugin development, it's useful to have the game automatically load a save file and start the flight scene with a specific vessel, each time the game is started.

I had some code that did just that, I think it was borrowed from the AutoLoadGame mod (https://github.com/allista/AutoLoadGame) but maybe it was from somewhere else. Anyway, it worked on old KSP versions, but it doesn't work on 1.7. When I call, from the main menu HighLogic.LoadScene(GameScenes.SPACECENTER), it does display the space center, but something is broken and I can't click on any building or do anything.

Does anyone know how to do this kind of thing in a recent KSP version?

So no one uses this kind of technique for faster iterations during mod development? Or is there a better place to ask?

Does anyone use the LoadScene method from the main menu? Is it supposed to work?

Thanks for any hint.

I'd say you should load a game somehow before switching to the space center.

After a quick browse of the docs, I'd say you can try something like GamePersistence.LoadGame(...).Load();

Here's a quick GitHub search to find some examples: https://github.com/search?l=C%23&q=GamePersistence.LoadGame&type=Code

QuickStart does exactly that: https://spacedock.info/mod/110/QuickStart
