Remove (temporarily) VesselViewerContinued from your rig and see if it "fixes" the problem. I think VVC is the real trigger for the problem, and not FF - what renders @Brigadiercorrect since the beginning (sorry dude!).

If I'm right and removing VVC fixes he problem, then install it back as well the missing dependencies above (ClickThroughBlocker and Toolbar Controller) and you will have a working rig *with* VVC installed.

If the problem still persists after removing VVC, send the new KSP.log and let's see who else is borking on you.

Cheers!

Removed VVC and added Clickthroughblocker and Toolbar Controller then restarted. Here is the player log and the KSP Log.

No worries. The community does a great job offering what help it can. I don't profess to be an expert and gladly will admit when (not if :rolleyes: ) I'm mistaken.

Glad to see the problem being resolved.

reschke · March 18, 2022

@Lisias I removed FF and the game loaded and seems to be working correctly. I am going to reload VVC here in a few minutes and restart and see what happens. As of right now it seems that whatever that KSPUtil function points at is jacked up on and isn't allowing the game to load properly.

Something is truly strange. I've never seen so many notifications about two modal dialog boxes trying to open at the same time.

Those worked, thanks. You can embed pictures here by taking screenshots with MS Snip, uploading to Imgur and posting a link here. Might be easier than using your phone. YMMV.

So you fixed the MM problem by removing all ModuleManager.dll files from your install and put one, new one (v4.2.1) in GameData, right?

Rats, now I can't download your logs :huh: . It worked once.

Yep found and removed the extra MM files that were screwed up thanks to weird file structures. I usually use Imgur or Gyazo to grab screen shots but I happened to have my phone handy and it was easier than using snip for the 1-2 seconds that the second screen was up.

Has anyone heard from Nereid or reached out about taking over FF? I saw that the last time his profile showed activity here was back in February of 2021. Just wondering if it might be worth it to at least ask.

I can try to contact him, adopt if he's OK with it. But all I would do is rebuild for 1.12 and add my standard checks, as well as CTB

now I got it!!!!

Some add'ons are packed into… "unorthodox" ways. They are not exactly wrong, it's only a different mindset from the one this Community ended up settling as years passed.

Cormorant Aeronology is packed using a directory with the add'on name and version:

The "Cormorant Aeronology 1.5.1" directory IS NOT MEANT to be copied into the GameData, only its contents (in the right panel above).

Giving another look on your KSP.log, and now that I know what to look I found:

Look for the Kerbalized_Suits! Same problem.

I think that you ended up installing things in the wrong place, and somehow this triggered that weird problem on FF. Recompiling it will not solve the problem, so.

Remove the following folders:

Cormorant Aeronology
Cormorant Aeronology 1.5.1
KerbalizedSuits
Kerbalized_Suits-1.0

Then reinstall Kerbalized Suits and Cormorant Aeronology - but being carefull to only install the contents of the Cormorant Aernology 1.5.1 and Kerbalized_Suits-1.0 folders into the GameData. Ignore any ModuleManager DLL you find on them. Ignore the Firespitter.dll too, this DLL does not works with modern KSP, you need the most recent package that you can find here: https://github.com/snjo/Firespitter/releases/tag/v7.17

Cheers!

I've sent him a message, but since it seems it was just some other mods badly installed, I'm not holding my breath for this.

Haven't been around much since Friday evening my time but I will give it a shot. I went through late Friday afternoon and pulled all the MM dll files out except for the 4.2.1 version that is showing and found the multiple folders as well and moved all those items into one folder under Gamedata.

As far as Firespitter goes I was already using the V7.17 download and I had installed it manually; but the Comorant (aka Shuttle Lifting Body) and Kerbalized Suits were done via CKAN.

Ugh. Let's dig into this mess and see what we find.

The interesting thing about this KSP bug on Assembly Resolver is that only the first Reflection exception is "valid", all the others are collateral damages caused by the bug being triggered by the first occurrence.

On your last log, the first occurrence is:

See the "TypeLoadException"? This is the very first problem on your KSP.log, so (unless we have something hiding exceptions inside KSP or other Add'On) this is the one that triggered the KSP bug (and, again, this doesn't makes the FF the culprit, just the innocent bystander that had the bad luck of being caught in the crossfire).

Problem: KSPUtil is a Stock Assembly, it's always there, as it's loaded with KSP itself. And FF is not the problem neither, because I downloaded it and tested it myself on my rig (KSP 1.12.3 running under MacOS), and there's nothing wrong on it - at least on my rig. And, yeah, I had installed TweakScale too.

So we have to figure out why, by Kraken's sake, KSPUtil is borking for you.

The first hypothesis is your KSPUtil being corrupted (perhaps a leftover of a previous KSP?) or missing (pretty unlikely, but not impossible). I still think KSPUtil is involved some how because on your previous Player.log, I found this:

ADDON BINDER: Cannot resolve assembly: KSPUtil, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
(Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Export/Debug/Debug.bindings.h Line: 35)

ADDON BINDER: Cannot resolve assembly: KSPUtil, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
(Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Export/Debug/Debug.bindings.h Line: 35)

Uploading Crash Report
TypeLoadException: Could not load type of field 'Nereid.FinalFrontier.EventObserver:lastVesselSurfacePosition' (7) due to: Could not load file or assembly 'KSPUtil, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. assembly:KSPUtil, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null type:<unknown type> member:(null) signature:<none>

There's another mishap on the KSP's Assembly Resolver, the ADDON BINDER "error" message. They are issued not only when you try to load something and fail, but also when you check if something exists (what's legal and doesn't trigger any bugs on KSP!) without loading it - what, frankly, is how we should load Assemblies at first place: first we check if the thing was already loaded, and if not we load the damned thing.

Since we have two ADDON BINDER messages, the code trying to load FF is initially doing the right thing:

"Humm… FF is trying to use this Vector3d thingy, and on its BoM ["Bill of Materials" - the real name is Symbol Table or something like that] it's said it can be found on this KSPUtil Assembly. But KSPUtil wasn't loaded yet, I just checked [The first ADDON Binder message], so I need to find the respective DLL somewhere on the search path and load it [the second ADDON BINDER one]. But, wait… Where in hell is that KSPUtil dll?? Now I can't load FF, nobody told me what to do now and so I will get mad and will screw everybody else!"

So everything pinpoints this as the cause (or as the first known symptom of something else that, in your specific case, may be being hidden somehow).

We are stuck right now, and there's no other alternative as to go Combinatorial Analysis on this problem: essentially, removing everything from your GameData and adding it back one by one until the problem happens.

And, yeah, this is a huge pain in the SAS, I know.

Anyway, by plain "luck" (it could start with T :P), Final Frontier lives on a folder starting with "N", so we have a relatively long list of Add'Ons that could be (and I guessing, the true is that we still don't know what's really happening) causing this problem - KSP starts to load things in alphabetical order.

So, let's go. Assuming you are absolutely sure your KSP binaries are OK (checking them using Steam, or by downloading a new copy), move everything from the GameData into a temp place (except Squad and SquadExpansion, of course) and fire up your KSP. Open you r KSP.log and search for the word "Exception". You should not find none, otherwise your KSP binaries are compromised.
Now, move back ModuleManager, Final Frontier and its dependencies (if any) and nothing else. Fire up KSP and check KSP.log for exceptions, again you should find none - otherwise we are screwed, because your FF is causing problems.

Intermission

Hummm… What's your FF version and from where you downloaded it?

Then move the following folders back:

B9PartSwitch

MechJeb2
ModuleManagerWatchDog
NavyFish
NearFutureAeronautics
NearFutureExploration
NearFutureProps
NearFuturePropulsion
NearFutureSpacecraft
Nereid

It's a lot. So I suggest you initially move them by "letter". First move back all the folders starting with "0", then with "A", them with "B", etc. Once you reproduce the problem, move the last batch out again, and then move them one by one until reproducing the problem.

The last Add'On added once the problem is reproduced is the one we need to inspect to see what in Kraken's name is happening here .

Good hunting!

@reschke I found some log entries related to MiniAVC. Apparently they are the V2, the safe ones but, yet, install ZeroMiniAVC to get rig of eventual oldies lingering around.

I may or may not be related to this problem at hands, however.

I'm trying everything I have here from myself to see if I trigger something (ModuleManagerWatchDog is installed on your rig, so it's a potential suspect), but until this moment everything is working fine here.

But I'm on a Mac, so this doesn't completely rule out anything.

That mod was forced on my via CKAN...because it was a dependency for some other mod. Once I get finished with this quote for a customer this morning I am going to spend my lunch break tearing apart the KSP Gamedata folder ONE MORE TIME!

Here is the KSP.log from the good run last night.

And the one from a quick boot up this morning and it shows Tweakcale had 6 parts fail "sanity checks"

No compromised binaries....no exceptions found when loading stock KSP.

I'm thinking that my copy of FF is the culprit for sure right now. Here is the KSP.log file and it is showing the old faithful KSPUtil problem on my end.

It prevents a lot of problems that can happen while installing add'ons. Some things that were barely legal on KSP < 1.8.0 became nasty problems on KSP >= 1.8.0 and the WatchDog checks for some of them and barks on you every time it finds something known to cause problems.

My work load on TweakScale dropped hugely after I published it.

Pretty clean installment, and the problem is there.

This is weird.

There's a situation where a compiled DLL using the Linux or MacOS managed DLLs from KSP will only run on the same Operating System it was compiled. You need to compile your code using the Window's managed DLLs (believe it or not, I found this one after a long debuging session with a dude using Windows, some years ago).

However, at least the FinalFrontier I downloaded for testing from this link on SpaceDock (the newest available on Change Log tab), by inspecting it on the binary level I got it it was compiled using FrameworkDisplayName = NET Framework 4.5 and into the directory Z:\Spiele\Kerbal Space Program\development\source\KerbalSpaceProgram\FinalFrontier\obj\Release\ (yep, the DLL tells you where you compiled it! I hope nobody start to think this is personal information, of the GDPR will ban our DLLs!!!) .

So, using Windows - pretty unlikely Nereid would download the MacOS or Linux versions to use their DLLs….

Well… All it remains to be done is to download the binary I linked above and give it a try...

Already done and after an hour of pulling one and restarting it would seem that the Spacedock one you linked is functioning on my system as it should now. Going to add in another mod and see what happens but the KSP.log file is not showing any problems with that KSPUtil error right now.

I have no clue where the version I got came from; the numbers on the download I had were 1.0.13-2539 and the version you linked is 1.10.0-3485.

I COMPLETELY MISSED that. :sticktongue:

The 1.0 FF was issued on the KSP 1.1.3 era!!! It's not a surprise it was not being able to load KSPUtil, Kraken knows how many changes on the symbol table the KSPUtil had suffered since 2016!!!

Oukey, I think your CKAN needs some attention. This kind of problem SHOULD HAD been prevented by it, it's tis job to update things unless you had installed FF by hand some time ago...

In a way or another, note to myself: CHECK YO ~~STAGI~~, I meain, RELEASE DATES!!

I can confirm that Final Frontier is functioning as expected in 1.12

You haven't given much to go on here. Which versions of KSP and FF do you have installed? What other mods? Have you tried a game with just FF and any dependencies to confirm that it FF and not your install that's the problem?

Read this thread and post a link to your log file.

FF works for me in a stock planet, heavily modded save so I'm thinking FF might not be the root problem?

Greetings, Final Frontier appears to work fine for me in 1.12.3 I see the comments above about things being broken, but I haven't encountered any of these.
