Reload Plugins in-game

[Felger]

Is it possible?

I found this thread from last November that said it was not: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/59467-Reload-plugin-while-in-game

Has that changed at all recently, and if so, how might one do it?

The system that loads plugins into the game, AssemblyLoader, does not have enough flexibility to do this from what I understand.

That's unfortunate, ah well, just a long loading screen every time I want to test my plugin.

Not what you were asking, but possibly helpful to you (although late); you can make a separate development copy of KSP and strip out a lot of stuff to make it load faster. All you have to do is go to your KSP install directory and copy it, then take out any addons you have downloaded and remove a bunch of the stock parts so they dont have to be loaded. Then you just run KSP.exe. Parts are located in "Kerbal Space Program\GameData\Squad\Parts".

It'll load a lot faster, useful for testing.

Additionally (if you have the cash), you can purchase an SSD. It makes things a whole lot snappier.
