why i can't make kerbalism work?

[king of nowhere]

I downloaded kerbalism. then i opened the readme, and it said i needed also module manager and crp. i downloaded them too. i put them in the game data directory; probably it's not enough, but it's what needed to be done for other mods, and i don't know what else to do.

but kerbalism does not work, and in fact, if i open the game i get an error message and it crashes soon.

what must i do?

Usually an error message contains important information about the problem it's reporting. I would recommend sharing it.

you are right, i feel silly for not having thought of it. here it is

 

the message says to report the log file too, but it's too long to include here

Well, the error message essentially says that something is missing.

On the Kerbalism release post I see:

Quote

Installation checklist for the "GameData" folder required content : 

- CommunityResourcePack (folder)
- Kerbalism (folder)
- KerbalismConfig (folder, can be replaced by a third-party config pack)
- ModuleManager.X.X.X.dll (file)

I don't see the ModuleManager.X.X.X.dll file in your directory. I guess it is in the ModuleManager-4.1.4 subdirectory. Does it work that way?

it's in the subdirectory. i tried to take it out and put it in game data directly, i get the same error message (i checked, it's the same)

Thanks. The message says to report it in one of three places:

• https://kerbalism.github.io/Kerbalism/ (not sure how you're supposed to post a comment on a static web site, though, maybe it means the GitHub repo's issues list?)
• https://discord.gg/3JAE2JE
• https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/190382-15-110-kerbalism-311/

It's probably worth trying one or more of those options.

You are installing all your mods wrong.
When you download a mod, the zip file will usually contain a "GameData" folder. You need to copy the contents of that folder inside your own GameData folder.
What you are doing is extracting the whole zip into GameData, wich won't work because mods expect a specific folder path.
If you want hassle free mod installation, I suggest you to delete all installed mods and use CKAN instead :
