Easier Plugin Testing In-Game

[Ishkur]

Hello!

I'm currently testing some parts and plugins in-game.

I know you can use the debug console (Alt-F12) to reload assets in the database, but how do I replace my plugin's .dll file while the game is running? When I try to do it in the windows explorer, it's stopping me because the file is in use.

Currently I have to close and relaunch the game every time I build and want to test stuff. There must be an easier way?

As far as I am aware, there isn't a way to reload plugins once the game is launched

My only suggestion is to have an testing installation of KSP for this with as few parts as is possible to reduce loading time

Ah I see... that's a bummer.

Not sure if I'm able to do that as I got the game through Steam. Thanks for the answer!

Sure you can, find your steam install, clone the KSP directory on yur desktop and play from there.
