Terrain editing won't pass on to 1.12 from 1.11. My duna base slides down the hill . Duna doesn't have a flat surface at all, and I can't get my base to stand still, that's why I really loveod this feature. I'm putting this coment up so I can get notified when an update is up.

That's odd. I modified my KSC to be all flat in 1.11, and it still is in 1.12.2.

Ctrl - k doesn't seem to open the menu for me.
The mod does work because I also installed KSC extended. I want to change the color of some launch pads.

Any known mods that might cause this?

This is a known issue with KK &  KSP 1.12.x versions. There is currently not a fix for it. The deployed bases work, the edit feature does not.

In KSP 1.11.2 and lower versions KK should work normally.

@NathanKell Could you please try to fix that 1.12x issue this weekend/Labor Day?

[ColdJ]

I feel like saying something pithy in response to the above but instead I will say that most of us know just how much is involved with trying to fix KK for the latest KSP and appreciate your efforts greatly.

[Caerfinon]

As in all things @somepotatoinspace.... let Yoda be your guide.

Ok, so the version of Unity used by KSP 1.12 finally hard-deprecates GUIText, it looks like. I replaced it with the suggested replacement (UI.Text) and recompiled, and it seems to work. Can you please test this? If it's good I'll make a release.

Dropbox DLL works as intended so far, thank you!

[Caerfinon]

Been testing a lot this morning, and I am very pleased with the results. All the things that I reported in Kerbal-Konstructs: Issue #2 have been addressed to my satisfaction.

Thanks very much for your work on thins. I am now planning to upgrade my KSP DEV instance to 1.12.2.

[NathanKell]

Sweet! Thanks for testing, folks! I'll make the release this evening.

[NathanKell]

Released v1.8.3 for KSP 1.8+ with the fix for 1.12.

Rather than use the modular parts that come with grass coloured terrain, you could put down a Map-decal that would level out the base area and then use statics that are buildings/features on top of the mun grey map-decal to build your base. The mods below all have useful KK statics to make the look and feel of a sci-fi location without any terrain colouring and they still work in KSP 1.12.2 despite their age.

• Kerbin Side Core
• CountryDoggo's SciFi Statics
• CountryDoggo's Random KK Bits

You can even convert parts into KK statics - I believe @ColdJ took the launchpad part from a Space 1999 mod and made it into a KK static that could be used. Add a universal spawn point as a KK launch site and you are in business.

That I did. Now that I can look at models in a 3d modeling program maybe I can work out how to add the spawn into the static itself.

Tried the new DLL and it works for me , so thank you very much. @NathanKell

Aha , thanks so much for the ideas , will look into all of those .

So I had the previous version installed on 1.12.x and it loaded all of my 1.11.x instances, but obviously didn't load the ctrl-K interface fully. I replaced it with this new version, and now ctrl-K does nothing and no instances load (I copied over the NewInstances folder).

The toolbar icon is there and loads the toolbar button stuff, but none of the construction stuff works.

Log here:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/npznbgl0qfc8uqu/KSP.log?dl=0

 

Edit: After glancing at the log file myself, I tried removing the NewInstances folder, and it works now. I'm guessing it was a custom MapDecalMap that I hadn't copied over?

Launch base model

Best one comes inbuilt in KK and is called Mobile Launchpad or something. It's a copy of DLC/hidden 1.12 sites launchpads and has very decent model, doesn't have grass, have loading ramp. You can upscale it for ship that big.

Aha , thank you , will go and find it .

[Brainpop14]

So, does it work with 1.12.2 yet?
