Greys Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Squad is known for listening to its community, so listen to them now. Ditch Curse and give your support to the community run program.What have you been smoking? Squad is a marketing company and marketing 101 is "ignore everything everybody says forever until you're rich", Squad applies that teaching in everything they do. There could be no mods on Curse and Squad would still side with them; but there aren't no mods on Curse, this is a major victory for KS but the bigger question right now is "how many mods are unique to each service?" and "how many mods are on both". That's not an easy thing to determine so maybe the crowd can figure it out. Now we want to be able to say that KS has the most exclusive mods.

TriggerAu Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 While I think its cool to see the growth of KS. Is the real measure of competition success not really how many downloads are occurring? I would think that player use is much more important metric than Coder use. I dont suppose we can see those numbers though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDamDog Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 FAR, the most popular mod on KerbalStuff, has just over 400,000 downloads. Mechjeb, the most popular on Curse, has about 550,000.Considering, again, that the 'mods and addons' button in the game links to Curse, that's pretty remarkable.

Virtualgenius Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Squad didn't listen to any concerns of the community, they promised spaceport 2 but silently planned a move to curse and they shut spaceport down while the community asked and pleaded not to for some very genuine reasons, so they didnt listen to any of that its ancient history now. We now have a snazzy new site called Kerbalstuff thanks to some very dedicated people which is awesome and far exceeds curse and the old spaceport in functionality and appeal.

DMagic Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Those numbers aren't accurate right? They still have all kinds of spikes in downloads. 15000 downloads on one day, followed by two weeks of 500 per day. That doesn't seem too likely.

TriggerAu Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Looks like there's a problem with mods that have a large number of followers.

Nicholander Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hmm, I'm trying to upload a mod to Kerbal Stuff, but the progress bar at the bottom always freezes when I'm trying to upload it, usually at around halfway. Does it haft to use CKAN? Because I'm always unchecking the CKAN box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked fine with a ZIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NecroBones Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Quick question-- Do the mods still not properly auto-submit to CKAN, needing a manual submission, or does it just take time to come through? Just curious since the mod I uploaded today isn't showing in CKAN, even though I had the checkbox on for that when created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your addon was o.k., so I accepted it just now.You should see your addon in CKAN within the hour, when the daemon gets around to re-build stuff.There is a huge list of stuff from LazTek, though, which I really need to have a closer look into. They don't work well with the default netkan created by kerbalstuff and therefore need (lots of) manual rework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernierm Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 No, I haven't looked into this yet. It's on my list of things to do when CKAN is ready for stronger integration.If I could add my 2 cents to this, my mod (MovieTime) doesn't see anywhere the volume that MechJeb, FAR and the others, but I do see an anomaly that I don't understand... I have 3 releases (.2, .3 and .4), and the download stats show .2 as being downloaded much more often than .4, in spite of the fact that all my links point to the .4 download. Seems weird.

Seems weird.My understanding (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is that you're seeing two different things here: Some mods (mine included) have unrealistically inflated download numbers, because HTTP range requests (such as resuming an incomplete download) will each count as a full download. There have been some days where restarted downloads numbered in the thousands for some reason, showing a huge spike in apparent downloads.The other one, with older versions showing lots of downloads, I think is CKAN's polling, which for some reason gets counted as downloads more for some versions than for others, also creating phantom download numbers. That is, if I understood correctly the answers I got to the same questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeThinker Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) I still don't understand how CKAN support supposed to works in KerbalsStuff, do I have to include some CKAN file ? I read that it isn't required. I'm confused what to do. How can I make my KSPI Extended available on CKAN using KerbalStuff?

hakan Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 You do it the other way round... You provide (or ask a contributor to do so for you) a netkan file to CKAN, which in turn is used by a daemon process to periodically ask kerbalstuff for new releases.The "CKAN" checkbox on your mod page just simplifies the initial creation of the netkan file (which in and of itself is a huge help) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordFjord Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Grats on the 500 I love how easy and straightforward it was to publish my mod (IntakeBuildAid) there, big thanks for making KerbalStuff.And I'll line in with the others with the question on where the downloads to older versions come from. Isit from CKAN?I think its quite unusual that someone wants an older version (except when you play with an outdated KSP version).Also, there is a weird download spike of over 7k on a single day - that was more that all downloads summed up until then.I don't mind, in fact I'm glad that it helped many others building stuff. I am just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultrasquid Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 …I think its quite unusual that someone wants an older version (except when you play with an outdated KSP version).…Sometimes a new release of software introduces a new bug. In that case users might wish to revert to an earlier version until it's fixed. It's also good to keep old versions around as a historical record.
