Then reinstall Scatter and pick one sun flare only. AstronikiSunflare and the default Scatterer-sunflare are mutually exclusive. One or the other but never both together . If you mess around with it too much it is possible to get passed the mutual lock but it then throws the Kraken in defense. You simply can't use both files together. 6 minutes ago, politas said: What happened is that part of Scatterer was broken out into a separate CKAN entry, in order to allow Astroniki Sunflare to work. AS has been mentioned, uninstall Scatterer, then reinstall, which will prompt you to choose a sunflare option. Yes, this works...for some reason if I tried to uninstall as a part of an update action as well (updating other mods, while uninstalling scatterer) i would get the same error. If I update separately, then uninstall, it worked. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have symlinked a folder on my RAID array to <all of my various KSP game folders>/CKAN/downloads - Means I only download each file once, and my SSD has only what it needs. You have my interest, and now I have to research how to "symlink" a folder! Sounds like what I want to do. I'm assuming (yes, I know) that it links the original folder to another folder and files will dump there instead, regardless of what drive it is on. Well, either I'm exhausted or eat up with the dumbass, (I'm usually pretty good about this stuff) I'm having a hard time figuring it out for now. Thanks!

TB2 In Windows, I believe a folder shortcut does the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 In Windows symlinks are usually made from the command line with the mklink command. I don't think folder shortcuts do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you hidden KSP folder by accident ? On linux machines it could be if you have installed in ".ksp" instead of "ksp" folder. I'm not familiar with all of linux distributions and have no experience with MAC at all if you use it. A bit of more details of your hardware/OS KSP version might help to provide support sooner and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to delete the <YourKSPInstall>\CKAN\downloads folder first (or move it to the off-SSD location if there is anything in it) first.

Put the ckan.exe file you downloaded in the main folder of your KSP install, wherever that may be. Then from your terminal, cd to that folder, and then you should be able to run the following: mono ./ckan.exe Pretty sure that should work, but MacOSX is weird.

Put CKAN in the same folder as your KSP.app. For example, assuming that you did not change the name of the folder after unzipping it but you did move it to the Applications folder, if you go into "/Applications/KSP_osx/" Then you type in : mono /Applications/KSP_osx/ckan.exe You do not need to cd to it. CKAN will check to see if there is a KSP.app in the folder that it is in first, and if there is you will not have to manually find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
