fast testing of plugins

[KospY]

I play around with the plugin developement for KSP and I wonder if there is a faster method for testing the plugins when coding.

Right now I use a post build event from visual studio to copy the DLL and a shortcut pointing on a "lighter" KSP (I removed several parts for faster loading)

Even with this, it take a long time to wait : squad credit, loading parts, start a game, resume game, click, VAB, assemble ship, lauchpad, TEST !

It can be very long and boring when we compile often, any tip about this ? Maybe a launch parameter for the exe to skip some repetitive task ?

the only thing missing from your setup is to set the build path directly to the ksp plugin folder, and just allot of patience,

He already has auto-copying done in a nicer way.

There's no way to do that faster, I usually take that time to check the IRC.

they should realy add some kind of part and plugin re-loading system for modders in ksp...

For information, I found another way to test my plugin : using Unity.

The only problem is I cannot load the KSP C# assembly DLL in it (a strange error happen), so I have no access to KSP class.

In my case it's not important because I'm creating something that only use unity objects. When all my functions will be ready I will switch to KSP for coding the rest of things that need it.
