How to install Kerbin Shuttle Orbiter System?

[CDK]

How do you install Kerbin Shuttle Orbiter System?

This is how I tried installing it:

- Downloaded it

- Unzipped the .zip file

- extract (also known as "drag", "put", "place", "copy and paste") all the folders into "GameData" ???

Is it all in one folder? If not, you might be trying to put the mod's individual components into GameData, which might not work. It should all be in one unzipped folder with the name of the mod.

**I'm not familiar with that one in particular, but 90% of all other mods are installed the same way. GameData/(folder with mod name)/(mod files)

Yes, it's all in one folder. I'll try it one more time.

Mods generally come packed in one of two ways. Either all relevant files are sorted under a folder with the mods name, and all you need is to drag it to your ksp/gamdata folder.

Or a mod contains several folders, where the files is packed under the mods name then followed by gamedata and then several folders under that. Then you need to unpack the mod, manually navigate to the gamedata folder of the mod and then select all folders inside that - and copy those folders to your ksp/gamedata folder.

Can you explain that a little more simpler?

Is not that difficult a concept. All mods go into the GameData folder of your ksp install. But different mods organize things a bit different. To use a popular example:

Toolbar: By unpacking the .zip file, you get a folder structure like this: Toolbar-x.x.x/GameData/000_Toolbar. To install this mod, copy just the 000_Toolbar folder into your Kerbal Space Program/Gamedata folder. Wherever that may be. You selected that yourself during installation - unless if bought from Steam where KSP is then installed under steam/steamapps/common/kerbal space program. Where you have installed Steam you decided yourself a long time ago and probably whilst high on sugar and/or coffee.

Other mods may or may not include a folder named GameData. If they do, you copy the folder(s) and/or file(s) inside the mods GameData folder to your Kerbal Space Program/GameData folder. If they don't you copy the folder(s) and/or file(s) of the mod directly into your Kerbal Space Program/GameData folder. After first unpacking the .zip file naturally.

Any simpler I can't explain it.

That's even more complex than your first comment. Can somebody else explain it?

First: If you need help with a specific mod, you will probably have better luck asking on the mod's own release thread.

Second: I have prepared an Imgur album with a step-by-step walkthrough for installing mods, which should explain what Zylark and RSwordsman were trying to explain.

I mean how to intall Kerbin Shuttle Orbiter System​.

Most mods do not have an .exe installer, but KSO seems to...Maybe it would be easier for you to download that, and just run the .exe and let it do the install for you.

for me it loads up the parts but nothing works
