G'Day MacTee,

I have just downloaded version 1.3.11, unzipped the application, and ran it. It successfully detected both of my 0.23.5 versions of KSP, yet didn't find the 0.24(x64) version that was in the same folder as the other two that were detected. When manually attempting to add the latest version, I got the following message from the mod manager -

"This is not the KSP install path."

The 0.24 version of KSP is working, as I have run it.

Is there any reason the Mod Manager is failing to recognize the new version?

Thanking you in advance for your time and assistance,

marauder13

[MacTee]

Thanks for the bug report!

The Download link detection in the ModBrowser is quiet tricky. Besides the overall redo of KSP MA im on right now, i redo the link detection too.

Till the new KSP MA Version 2.0 (Any OS) there will be trouble with some (not all) downloads via KSP Forum.

The workaround is:

• Download the Mod manually
  
• Add the mod manually
  
• Set the ModInfos manually (to support mod update check)
  
  • Right click the mod
    
  • Select "Edit ModInfos"
    
  • Enter the URL to the mod to the appropriated field and click on the radiobutton next to it (to adjust VersionControl).
    
  • Press the Button next to the URL TextBoxes (with the globe) -> KSPMA will then get the rest of the Modinfos for you.

Have to confirm (with KSP MA 1.4PR11), it recognizes all 32bit windows versions, but no way to have it handle the 0.24 64bit one. Hope the "Any OS" version will.

[MacTee]

Sry marauder13 i didn't saw your post!

The name of the KSP.exe (64bit) is not the same like the one of the 32bit version (i use it to validate a KSP install path).

As a workaround you can rename the "KSP_x64.exe" to "KSP.exe" KSP MA will then accept the new path.

EDIT:

Problem with this workaround is that the launcher won't work propperly after the rename!

EDIT2:

Hmm even the renamed KSP.exe won't work! Forget the Workaround!

I'll release a quick fix update soon!

Great work as always, with the 1.4.0.12 PR version . My issue is solved.

MacTee, I just downloaded this version, and so far so good. Thank you for the fix.

Some feedback - the scan feature appears to be picking up every directory within the parameters specified, rather than just those with KSP in them. For me, this is not a big issue, but one worthy of bringing to your attention for future work.

Once more, thank you for all of your work, and the swiftness of your reply and creation of a fix.

Sorry MacTee, it's me again.

I have been trying to download mods via the internal browser from the KSP Forums. When I tried to download the Kethane Mod from /threads/23979, I got the following error message listed below.

Once more, thanking you in advance for your time and assistance.

Edit: I tried to download Kerbal Crew Manifest from /threads/60936, and received the same error message. I thought giving you this further information could prove useful tracking down the cause of the error.

Updated information

[celendis]

Hey MacTee,

I love KSP Mod Admin. However, I am running into a small issue with regard to the forum update check. It appears that the program is marking the download timestamp first, and then marking the creation timestamp second. This happens with either a download from the forum, or updating modinfo from the forum. This is causing occassional issues by marking a newly downloaded mod as blue for out-of-date immediately, since the download timestamp is about 1-2 seconds before the creation timestamp. I can work around this for most mods by just hitting the 'update modinfo' button until the timestamps are the same, but sometimes it is not possible due to huge forum posts on the first page of a mod. No matter what I do, the mod remains blue for out-of-date.

Thanks for such a great program!

-Rich

[MacTee]

Thanks for the bug reports!

@celendis:

Could you plaese give me a link where this happens?

@marauder13:

It looks like the link from the forum post isn't valid anymore, or could you download the mod manually with that link?

EDIT: After a quick test -> yes, manually download works.

Could you explain a little more what you have done and which link you have used to download?

EDIT: There is only one download link and this happens after a press on the download mod button (as you can see in the StackTrace ... stupido

A direct link to the problematic mod(s) would be nice too!

EDIT: Open you eye already there. =)

EDIT: Sry sometime i'll ask stupid questions ... I'll dive into it, but first my childes need some entertainment =)

Edited July 19, 2014 by MacTee

[celendis]

Hey MacTee, perhaps you could check http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/57988-0-23-x-RealChute-Parachute-Systems-Presets!-v1-1-0-1-27-04-14

Also, I have noticed that 64-bit KSP has a few bugs not present in 32-bit and was wondering if there is an option hidden somewhere to launch the 32-bit KSP from KMA directly without wrecking the 64-bit install.

[MacTee]

Hi celendis,

I don't think there is a way to start a 64bit install of KSP in 32bit mode. It seems that the 64bit install has some changed files that won't work with a 32bit version.

Maybe its possible to install 32bit and 64bit in one folder and start the prefered version. But KSP MA will try to start the 64bit version if available.

I would recommend to install two versions of KSP one 32bit the other 64bit. Both could be managed with one KSP MA. Just add both install folders on the Option / Paths tab and switch between those installs by using the DropDownBox at the top of KSP MA.

[BadLeo]

Hey MacTee! I was wondering, since you're going to launch a new version of KSPMA for the new... er... you know, KSP version (a bit redundant... sry), how about making it possible to add multiple mods at the same time? Is it possible?

Another thing is that KSPMA detects a conflict when two mod files share the same installation folders, even if actually no files inside that folders are conflicting. Could it be made to be detected when files inside the installation destination, not the destination path per se, are conflicting?

As always, keep out the good work! Your efforts are much appreciated! =)

[MacTee]

Hi BadLeo,

sry I don't know what you mean with "multiple mods at the same time".

I'll redo the conflict detection during the coding of the new KSP MA Version.

[BadLeo]

sry I don't know what you mean with "multiple mods at the same time".

Under the Mods tab, clicking on Add button, then clicking on the lil' folder and magnifier button to add a path to the mod you want to add. It would be nice to have the ability to select multiple mods to be added at once, rather than having to add one by one. Don't know if possible, but would be extremely useful! xD

Another thing. I manually selected the path to my new KSP x64 install and KSPMA is working normally. I even already installed a bunch of mods with it.

[MacTee]

Hi BadLeo,

i have temporarily removed the multiple mod add with the implementation of the add dialog. I'll add this again later.

But you could drag and drop multiple mods to the ModSelection.

[BadLeo]

Uh! I didn't know that! Thanks! xD

[celendis]

Hey MacTee,

Is there any way to get some protection on the Squad and NASAmission folders in GameData? KW Rocketry clobbers the launch clamp part.cfg because they seem feel like modifying stock parts is ok, and I disagree. KMA doesn't know any better that there's a conflict in updating this content and deletes the part.cfg when I uncheck Extras. Of course, I feel the solution should be that KW needs to use Module Manager to fix the part sound, but that is another issue.

TL;DR: I would like an option to prevent any modification to Squad content by any mod.

[MacTee]

hi celendis,

for now the only way to keep you stocking parts unchanged is to remove the destination of those files that changes/overrides the part.cfg files.

But normaly KSP MA won't override files when the Override CheckBox is unchecked.

i have added the new feature request to my todo list

[PringleMan]

Can I make sure I am understanding this right with regards to the mod update options:

Remove and Add: Uninstall the old version and install the new one

Copy Destination: Installs the new mod to the same destination, overwriting the old files

Copy checked state: Copies the checked elements from the old version to the new download

Manually: Must manually select the elements and tell it to update

Am I correct in interpreting it that way? In that case, if I was selectively telling certain mods to not install parts of their archives, would it be best for me to select the copy checked state? How does that handle new files in the archive then? Does it just ignore than and only replace the files that were checked in the old version?

See I am trying to figure out what would be best if a mod updated that hypothetically had its own folders and 000 Toolbar bundled with it. I dont want it to overwrite 000 toolbar for whatever reason, so I tell it to copy the checked state. But it added some new parts folders in the new version, so would those not be installed?

edit: Also, totally separate from that. Do you know why sometimes when you enter a url like this one http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/87127-Fixed-Decoupler-for-KSP-x64-on-Windows-v2-(July-20) into mod manager, it bounces back 404 not found?

edit 2: Also, curse forge links return illegal characters in path as an error when entered in on the add mod screen

Edited July 22, 2014 by PringleMan

[MacTee]

Can I make sure I am understanding this right with regards to the mod update options:

Remove and Add: Uninstall the old version and install the new one

Almost right. KSP MA removes the old Mod an adds the new mod with NEW detected destinations (maybe the same as for the old one)

Copy Destination: Installs the new mod to the same destination, overwriting the old files

KSP MA will try to find corisponding files of the old mod in the new mod, checked stated and destination will be copied to the new mod.

then the old mod will be removed and the new one will be installed (preserves your settings of checked state and (maybe new) chosen destinations).

New files will be installed to the auto detected destination if one is found.

Copy checked state: Copies the checked elements from the old version to the new download

KSP MA only copies the checked state of the mod and then removes the old one and installs the new mod with auto detected destination (if found).

Manually: Must manually select the elements and tell it to update

You will have to manage the update.

Am I correct in interpreting it that way? In that case, if I was selectively telling certain mods to not install parts of their archives, would it be best for me to select the copy checked state? How does that handle new files in the archive then? Does it just ignore than and only replace the files that were checked in the old version?

I dont want it to overwrite 000 toolbar for whatever reason, so I tell it to copy the checked state. But it added some new parts folders in the new version, so would those not be installed

Best option for this is "Copy destination".

edit: Also, totally separate from that. Do you know why sometimes when you enter a url like this one http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/87127-Fixed-Decoupler-for-KSP-x64-on-Windows-v2-(July-20) into mod manager, it bounces back 404 not found?

edit 2: Also, curse forge links return illegal characters in path as an error when entered in on the add mod screen

As i posted above (several times =) the mod download is a little bit buggy, i'm on a redo of almost everything within the KSP MA code, including the download link detection and the mod download/update. But this will take some time. Sry!

Edited July 22, 2014 by MacTee

[PringleMan]

whoops, sorry! I missed those posts. I was just trying to give some friendly bug hunting!

Great work either way!

[MacTee]

NP and thanks!

Edit: A problem with the Copy Destination option is when in a mod that provides toobar files and the toolbar mod got updated and adds new files, those new files may cause conflicts with your primary (seperate) installation of the toolbar mod.

You have to solve those conflicts manually.

Edited July 25, 2014 by MacTee

[celendis]

To anyone else who cares: I created my own zip file to at least have KMA indicate a conflict with Stock parts. It's just a zip containing GameData folder and inside that is Squad and NASAmission folders. Inside that, I just dropped a text file in each folder called SquadProtect.txt and NASAProtect.txt. KMA now indicates a conflict in yellow, so I can at least identify what mod(s) attempt to modify stock files.

In case anyone else wants this simple thing, it is on my dropbox here.
