I wasn't able to grab the logs as i had moved on.

I had EVERYTHING installed manually as a last resort and it failed. IDK where the problem originated.

 

I'm afraid I can't really help you without logs. My MitchellNetravali question still stands however.

Hi, I've identified the problem with CKAN installs: VertexHeightOblateAdvanced was added as a dependency of SarnusPlus in the last release, but no one updated the CKAN metadata.  If your mod is on CKAN and you add new dependencies, these need to be done manually.  We make sure everything is in sync when the mod is first added.  You can update other relationships like recommendations, suggestions, etc over time as well.

I'll take care of this one, but in the future you can handle this many ways:

The first two options are preferable, since it creates a permanent record that will remain until someone addresses it.  Simple relationship updates will usually be merged *really* quickly because it doesn't require as much diligence as adding an entire mod.  If you go the PR route (btw I do suggest using github's web editor for this) it can help speed this up since it saves us all the work of setting one up and if everything looks good all we have to do is hit "merge."

As an advanced method, you can include a .ckan file inside your mod release that lists dependencies, and this will get merged with the metadata from the .netkan file in the CKAN repository.  This is actually a pretty good way to manage dependencies or other things that change per-release.

Other business:

The 4 OPX folders are bytewise-identical when installed with CKAN, except for .DS_Store files in the manual install.  CKAN automatically filters these out.  You might want to remove these: https://buildthis.com/ds_store-files-and-why-you-should-know-about-them/

There are some MM warnings and errors.  The warnings aren't a big deal if everything is working OK (though you should clean them up by removing whichever pass specifier is unnecessary).  But errors will prevent the MM cache from being created and slows down load times. 

[WRN 07:37:16.432] more than one pass specifier detected, ignoring all but the first: OPX-JoolPlus/Patches/OPX-JoolPlus-JoolRetextureCompatibility/@Kopernicus:HAS[@OPX_JoolPlus_Settings:HAS[#CloverJoolRetextureOverride[True]]]:FOR[OPX-JoolPlus]:AFTER[JoolRetexture]

Update: I updated the metadata, this should trickle out to clients within 35 minutes typically: https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/NetKAN/pull/10212

I did install OPX with VertexHeightOblateAdvanced. IDK where the failure was.

Just a note:  Anyone can initiate this process, not just the author (though an author's direct words are inherently more reliable).

Even if you're just a user of a mod that releases a new version and you notice it has added a new dependency, you can still let the CKAN team know via any of the above options. We'll investigate to confirm that what you're saying is in line with the author's intentions, then update the dependencies in CKAN as appropriate. This can be an accessible way to lighten mod authors' load for anyone aspiring to get involved.

minmus's taking his time... this new update will be perfect

College just started, and Gilly was being absurdly obstinate about actually functioning which kind of impeded any progress for a good while.

I believe the issue was from having Parallax AND OPx at the same time. I can finally wave the white flag!

Given that the main four OPX mods make no mention whatsoever of Parallax, that doesn't make any sense. Again, logs are necessary.

Thanks for this! The pass specifier warning problem is being fixed currently as well.

I've basically just given up trying to make OPX work. Right now i'm using Kerbol System Expansion by @smushanoob in combination with MPE and JMP.

We could probably fix all your problems had you ever sent in any logs.
