KerbalStuffWrapper

[toadicus]

KerbalStuffWrapper is a suite of .NET-compatible utilities that provides access to the KerbalStuff API. The suite is broken into three parts:

• KerbalStuffReadOnly.dll - A library implementing access to the documented, read-only KerbalStuff API members. This should be suitable for use in KSP mods for version checking and other purposes. Released under the BSD 2-Clause license.
  
• KerbalStuff.dll - A library implementing access to the document, read-write KerbalStuff API members. Depends on and inherits from KerbalStuffReadOnly.dll. This should be suitable for use in external applications performing mod management for KerbalStuff users. Released under the BSD 2-Clause license.
  
• KerbalStuffWrapper.exe - A proof-of-concept console application providing command-line access to all documented KerbalStuff API members. Released under the BSD 3-Clause license.
  

Note: this software is currently in BETA. While all of the currently-planned features are implemented, testing has been limited and bugs may occur. I strongly encourage developers and users using or linking this software to report bugs early and often. Thanks!

DOWNLOADS

KerbalStuff: [zip]

SOURCE: [git]

Currently hosted only on my private git. If interest in collaboration develops, I will move it to github.

CHARITY:

Do you like what you see here so much that you can't imagine downloading it without first parting with your hard-earned money? If so, this specially-crafted PayPal donation button will help you to take the currency of your choice and make it my money instead of your money. More seriously though: donations are 100% optional and entirely at your own discretion. If you do choose to donate, I'll appreciate it!

TODO:

• Implement additional API members as SirCmpwn releases them.
  
• Maybe abandon the console app and collaborate on SirCmpwn's instead.
  
• Maybe make the console app less ugly.

KerbalStuffWrapper

Edited September 28, 2014 by toadicus
Added Beta notice.

[toadicus]

Updated to Beta_3!

Implements new 'browse' API methods and improves null checking during Mod construction to avoid exceptional behavior for certain mods.

I would love to see this on GitHub!

I just got a change pushed to the KerbalStuff API, allowing the API to pull the mod's updated date/time. Think you can update to support?

Thanks!

Done! I will happily accept pull requests to help keep up to date. I don't think the live KerbalStuff site is using your update yet, so I can't release a change that supports it yet, but thanks for the interest! Edited October 7, 2014 by toadicus

Hey, this has sat idle a long time. Probably because it kept working how I needed it to for so long.

But, KerbalStuff's recent certificate update breaks mono's ability to interface with it. CurlSharp, a C# binding for libcurl, is a reasonable work around (and is used by CKAN), but doesn't work reliably for uploads and my C/C++ skills aren't... really there at alll... so I can't change that.

So! I've rewritten the whole thing in python, and released it into the public domain.

Feel free to use it instead of the C# version until a better solution presents itself.
