How to disable mods?

[LucianHavens]

I want to disable RemoteTech (buggy!) and keep the parts so i could continue setting up my satellite network.

[Mach_XXII]

Delete the remotetech.dll

[LucianHavens]

Will the antennas still be able to transmit?

[Mach_XXII]

What do you mean transmit science ?

[LucianHavens]

Yeah and possibly photos of Jeb rolling around on the mun. =]

Like this one on Minmus. lol

Yes If you delete the remote tech.dll it will still be able to transmit science

[LucianHavens]

Nope, just tried it =[

[Magion]

And if they are still not transmiting science, delete "RemoteTech_Squad_Antennas.cfg" from RemoteTech2 folder.

[LucianHavens]

Nope, still doesn't work

(edit: I'm talking about the antennas from RemoteTech though, not stock)

RT2 antennas don't come with the stock science transmission when the .dll is disabled, you may have to add it manuallyfidling through part.cfg files, but I haven't done it before, so I'm not going to tell you how it's done to avoid disasters xD

I have the solution! (ModuleManager required)

1)Delete all folders and files in the RemoteTech2 folder except Parts folder.

2)Create new text file and change extension to .cfg

3)Insert following text into the .cfg file

4)Save it

5)Enjoy!

i keep 2 installs, one stock one modded. i sometimes use the stock game to test my mods since it loads a lot faster.

I imagine that Squad don't come in threads but as a sugestion: Devs may place in setup menu a list of all mods installed (checked in Gamedata) and a checkbox to enable/disable them. IMO this is a very simple think to implemente and could save time and compatibility with installed mods

Squad does poke around on the forums, although not necessarily commenting on everything (or anything) in particular.

The issue with real time enable/disable of mods is that parts and pieces of save files that use mods get wiped out when you disable things. It would be very easy to make a costly mistake.

There are ways to fix that obviously, but I'm not sure if such a menu setup is in the works. Sounds like a good suggestion though. You can throw that up in the suggestions subforum and see what others come up with.

Also, that's really not how mods work. Some, like Deadly Reentry, could (and basically does) have a toggle. But consider a mod that gives the LV-N extra thrust. Once you launch KSP, the stats of the LV-N have been read, and the stats that are read are "here's the thrust of the LV-N." How are you going to turn that "off"?
