KSP Tweakscale UI BUG

[Alex_O]

Hi Guys,

Mods: please move this if it's in the wrong place.

Long term KSP player but I've never run in to this problem before. I'm running tweakscale alongside a whole raft of mods and the UI doesn't seem to be coming through properly. Details in the screenshot and a list of my mods as well. I'm aware that this might be a mod interaction problem but if it's an install problem then please let me know.

Cheers,

Alex

Is it only happening on OPT parts or on everything?

It's happens everywhere, and for a lot of Add'Ons at that time. It's a KSP bug,

You are using KSP 1.8.0, and it broke every single Add'on that uses a thingy called UI_ScaleEdit, (and also UI_FloatEdit and UI_FloatRange) and this thingy is used by a lot of Add'Ons (not only TweakScale!).

TL;DR: upgrade to 1.8.1 were this was fixed by KSP itself. It will allow not only TweakScale, but a lot of others add'ons to keep working.

The diagnosis was initially reported here:

And a pretty intense diagnosing process documented here:

I had tried to implement a fix for it on KSP-Recall, but apparently I need a thingy called EZGUI SpriteText , and this thing is closed source and last time I checked it, it was unavailable on Unity's Store. So I need to code a replacement for SpriteText, but since only KSP 1.8.0 have this problem, the priority for such a stunt is pretty low...

So your best option is, indeed, to update to KSP 1.8.1 . A lot of annoying bugs were fixed on 1.8.1, there's really no good reason for using 1.8.0.

If you have Steam, you can download 1.8.1 by using the Properties / Beta (right click on the KSP icon):
