Can't have a mod's parts

[Vincate]

Hi everyone,

I just downloaded a mod (this one: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/mk4-fuselage-system ), I put the parts where it said I have to put them (in the Parts folder) and when I launched the game, I don't have any of the parts, not even the R&D tree.

Can someone pls help

The mod is outdated and incompatible with the latest version of KSP. There are some instructions in the comments on the spaceport page that might allow you to edit the files to make them compatible.

thanks for your answer

But wher can I find these comments, cuz on the mod page, there aren't any :/

[Awaras]

You go to the link you posted and click on 'comments'.

If I understand correctly, you need to open the part.cfg file of every part in a text editor and add

PART {

to the beginning of each file and

}

to the end of each file.

I tried on two parts but doesn't seem to work

[Awaras]

Where did you put them exactly? Give me the full path to the part.cfg file for example.

Kerbal Space Program / Parts / TTMK4cargoretainer

Kerbal Space Program / Parts / TTMK4cargoretainer

That should be right... hang on, let me download the mod and see what's up.

Thanks dude

The parts appear in-game with no modification (Didn't do the PART {} stuff). They only appear in sandbox mode however, not in career mode. That's to be expected because the mod is old and the parts have no tech tree entries. Have you tried them with sandbox or career?

Oh ok, do you know if it's possible to make it appear in the career mode?

You would need to open the PART.cfg file and add all the tech tree definitions placing those parts in one of the existing tech nodes.

Open the part.cfg of one of the stock parts (found in gamedata/squad/parts) and search for 'TechRequired=' to see what needs to be added.

[Vincate]

Don't really understand :/

[Awaras]

Basically, open the part.cfg of one of the stock parts (preferably one from the aero category), copy the lines techrequired, entrycost, cost, category and subcategory and then paste those in roughly the same place inside the part.cfg files of your mod parts. You might need to add the lines from my post before, as well.
