Module Manager Watch Dog


Recommended Posts

I just installed some mods for KSP, and it's saying that I have more than one MM Watch Dog. I'm trying to follow the directions to correct this issue, but I'm not entirely sure how. I'm probably just missing the obvious with the usual case of being blind to the obvious problem, though when I look in the GameData folder, there's a second GameData folder, is that normal? Could that be causing the issue? Cause it has a MM Watch Dog DLL in it as well

Gamedata in Gamedata is no bueno. 

Just have one dll in one Gamedata. 

Thank you for that. Sadly I can't seem to figure out what I'm supposed to do, cause if I try starting KSP, and all the mods on CurseForge say there's no problems, I can't use any mods. If I uninstall 1 mod, I suddenly have issues. and if I remove the GameData in the GameData it says I have issues, I install a mod on CurseForge, and I have a brand new GameData in GameData again, while still not being able to access the mods I download. Also in CurseForge it's now saying that some of the mods may be corrupted, no matter what I do. I am a lowly pleb who knows nothing compared to those who have such knowledge. I humbly ask for assistance

Move whatever is in the nested GameData folder into the top GameData folder, ignore the duplicates.  Then delete the nested GameData folder

The Module Manager Watch Dog "is my fault" :P  Due some ways things changed on KSP and didn't coped too well on how things were done in the past about Module Manager, I had to code this thing in order to prevent the bad situations that could screw you. As a beneficial side effect, it also detects some users (or installers) mishaps as you just detected.

However...

It's only distributed on KSP-Recall and TweakScale, as these ones are the most common victims of that bad coping I mentioned above. So I'm concluding that at least one of these two was installed on your install fest. :) 

There's nothing wrong on Curseforge installer, as long you use only zip packages tailored to be used by it - all my add'ons are distributed with two zip packages, one of them ending with "-Curseforge" exactly due that - these last ones are Curse Installer friendly. Using Curse Installer to install any of my packages that does not ends with "-Curseforge" may lead to this problem.

So I did that, and it just caused major issues, and when I looked at the mods on CurseForge, it said all but 3 of the mods I had installed, were corrupted. And if I were to try reinstalling the mods, it'd make a new GameData Folder in the GameData Folder, and still say the mods were corrupted
