Kerbonaut Manager: Create, rename and remove your kerbonauts [v0.2.3 for KSP2 v0.2.0]

[munix]

Kerbonaut Manager

A mod that adds a window to the VAB where you can create new kerbonauts or rename/remove your existing ones.

How to use

When you open the VAB Kerbal Manager, the mod window will open automatically next to it. By default, you will see the option to create a Kerbonaut - either fill in your desired Kerbal name, or leave it empty for a random one to be generated. Right clicking on a kerbal in the Kerbal Manager window will open them in the mod window to allow renaming or deleting.

If you want the mod window to close at any time, you can do so using the "x" button in the top right corner, and if you want to access it again without closing and reopening the Kerbal Manager, you can do so from the main toolbar in the bottom right of the game window.

Where do you input the mod into the ksp 2 folder. do you put it in the spacewarp folder?

Hi! I've just checked and it seems like it breaks the stock Kerbal Manager window. It shouldn't be too difficult to fix, so I'll try to do that asap.

Release 0.2.3

• Added support for KSP 2 For Science! v0.2.0
• Removed patch preventing deletion of kerbals on recovery (this has been fixed in the base game)

Download: CKAN is recommended, manual download on GitHub and SpaceDock

Thanks for the quick fix

This mod shows up in two places in the VAB:

1)  with the Kerbal Manager icon.  This is the correct location

2)  In the App Tray.  When clicked, it displays just the Create Kerbal window.

I assume you don't want it in the App Tray, given that full functionality is not present.

It is the intended behavior, my rationale was that the mod window can act independently of the game's Kerbal Manager UI (for example it can be opened on its own to simply create a new kerbal), so it should have its own button in the mod button tray, like everything else, but I may rethink this. Thanks for the feedback!

Having the name lock issue where creating one locks the name until you restart the game, even on deleted kerbals. Restarting the game lets you use the name again but weirdly it always uses the same model with that name.  If you create random named kerbals looking for a kerbal you like after a few kerbals it will stop showing the image, it just shows the generic icon.

Based solely on this issue in this mod, I'm going to make an incredibly bold claim for KSP2:

Kerbals won't be the only playable species in the full release.
At some point you're gonna hit a second species in a distant solar system, and they'll be recruitable.

As for the here and now: Thank you for this mod! Lovely work.

So just to confirm, this mod doesn't work with the current version of the game, yeah?

 

Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot; it works just fine!
