Dazpoet Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) I have attempted many mods, such as adjustable landing gear, collision fx, and many others.sometimes it's refresh, sometimes thoseSo this is turning into a real "KEEP IT SIMPLE" solution when I checked the repo files. CKAN attempts to download and cache the mods from Kerbalstuff (true for both Adjustable landing gear and Collision FX) but that site is currently down. Therefore the files won't download and CKAN reports, correctly, that it cannot connect to the server. As a quick test can you attempt to install e.g. Regolith or any of the USI mods (I'm pretty sure regolith is the smallest one). Those are hosted elsewhere and if they install correctly the problem is definetly with Kerbalstuff being down.EDIT: KS is back up and stuff should be working again Edited March 9, 2015 by Dazpoet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallygator Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I assume that you run the latest version of OS X and that your standard download folder is Downloads.Have you installed the latest release of Mono? http://www.mono-project.com/download/#download-mac <--download and click the file and then accept terms etc to get it.Have you downloaded the latest release of ckan? https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/releases <--download the ckan.exeIf you have not already done the 2 above steps, do them now.Press Cmd+Space --> Write "Terminal" --> Press EnterA terminal window now opensWrite "cd Downloads/" and press enterWrite "mono ckan.exe" and press enterCKAN should now start, push the "Refresh" button and it connects to the repository to check for the list of mods and then you're good to go.Thanks for that - Really Appreciate the reply - I will attempt this tomorrow in the morning and report back.Thanks again!

Futt Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 It seems several mods have been lagging behind for days now (ksp-avc is picking up new versions, ckan is not). So far I've got old versions of Contract Configurator, Docking Port Alignment Indicator, Tweakscale, QuickSearch and QuickScroll. Is there a problem with my install, or is the ckan meta-data outdated? Running with the default CKAN repository. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggygoblin Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Check TweakScale thread, there was upload with faulty files recently. Could be a reason why you can't update it properly. Try to install Tweakscale manualy or wait a bit longer until everything is uploaded properly on all servers.Looking at the error produced in CKAN:Downloading "https://github.com/Crzyrndm/FilterExtension/releases/download/1.17/Filter.Extensions.1.170.zip"Downloading "https://kerbalstuff.com/mod/449/Mk3 Mini Expansion Pack/download/V1.1.3"Downloading "https://kerbalstuff.com/mod/344/TweakScale - Rescale Everything!/download/v1.52"Error!...and then browsing to "https://kerbalstuff.com/mod/344/TweakScale - Rescale Everything!" brings me to the correct KS page.Hovering my mouse over the DL Link and looking at the status bar, I see that the version is v1.52.1CKAN is trying to grab the file "v1.52" and not "v1.52.1"I would be of no help in fixing this in a hands on way, but perhaps when CKAN goes to KS to get files, maybe have it not be so picky/specific and just 'virtualy click' and/or use whatever is delivered by the Download button, rather than specifying 'get me this specific file at this specific address'.It is clearly CKAN asking for a file by address that doesn't exist. It's a case of the right mailbox, but nobody by that name lives there now.Unfortunately, this one little version difference is causing Interstellar and ALL of it's dependencies to fail and revert.Could we get it to prompt to open the Download Page on Errors like this to manually install, and then It prompt to continue or abort th rest of the dependencies? Not sure if this would break your 'Won't affect change to anything not installed by CKAN,' as it is clearly a case of "I want you, CKAN, to install this, but you can't, so I'll give you a helping hand if you show me where you're trying to get it, then you can proceed with the rest."

Shaggygoblin Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Another issue...KAE - KSPAPIExtensions is listed as AD (Auto-Detected?) after a fresh install of KSP and CKAN.I literally installed KSP and CKAN to a freshly formatted drive, and it is there...Does CKAN save/access installation info anywhere else than the folder it resides in and any folder the mod says it needs as well?Even more frustrating, if I have mods installed, and have to do something to troubleshoot conflicts, most times CKAN stop recognizing things it installed, either by displaying an AD, or more recently and more commonly just not seeing it at all. But if I try to install a mod it doesn't see/AD, it will definitely throw an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archont Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 CKAN is trying to download - 404https://kerbalstuff.com/mod/344/TweakScale - Rescale Everything!/download/v1.52Correct URL ishttps://kerbalstuff.com/mod/344/TweakScale - Rescale Everything!/download/v1.52.1I've tried to add a hosts exception so it redirects to localhost, but got stuck on it being a https request. At this point, I'm spending about as much time hacking away CKAN as if I were to do everything manually. Any way to patch the metadata or get the hash (eg. 4EF16F05-) so I can manually cache it?

pjf Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 TweakScale is now fixed. Thanks to archont for hopping onto the IRC channel and nudging us about it.However it appears that our index bot is currently AWOL. I'm taking a look around now and will try to nudge it as best I can. (However nlight is the expert on the indexing bot, and I'm hesitant to bother him on his birthday!)On that note.... Happy birthday nlight! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjf Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Update: I'm not quite sure why our indexing bot isn't running its regular updates, so I may have to escalate this to nlight or hakan. However I *can* manually reindex mods, so if there's anything that appears to be woefully outstanding then you can hop on IRC ( #ckan on irc.esper.net ) and either ask me nicely, or ".tell pjf Can you please re-index <favourite mod>" if I'm not around. (It's almost 3am here in Australia, so I'll be dropping into bed soon.) You can also ask nicely here, but I tend to see IRC messages first. On a more important note, the CKAN is proving to be so successful that we're very much in need of improved infrastructure to keep things running. If you work for a company that provides cloud infrastructure, or would be willing to cover our rather modest requirements, you can read more below.CKAN Infrastructure Sponsor NeededMany, many thanks,~ pjf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ippo343, pjf, Alex, Thank you for your inputs!)With a little pointage-in-the-right-direction, and then some hands-on practice, I'd be more than happy to add to the wiki an entry to cover the topic of custom/user-default Mod-Lists for those "when I install KSP, these mods are guaranteed to be in it..." or "I had to reinstall KSP and forgot which mods I had..."On a side note: Does anyone know definitively if the -no-onethreaded switch works with -force-opengl? I have a hard time getting KSP to run (not crash before first launch) with just a handful of mods. I have already attempted the .dds with marked load time reduction (Thanks sarbian and Lilleman!) I can get the -force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded to run Stock but memory usage is huge, even with the DDS Loader and Active Texture Management(Aggr.x86)(Thanks rbray89).

I think that I already suggested something similar not so long ago. Simple memo box instead of list, so you can copy-paste installed mod anywhere on forum will be great help when you need to figure out why some mod work properly for one user and why not to other user.

Ippo Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hi, just dropping by to let you know that I'm working on preliminary deb packaging. You can get a deb package from here.Please note that this package depends on mono-complete >= 3.10, which is not available in Ubuntu. You will need to follow these instructions to have the latest version of mono.This package will also install a small script that automatically runs ckan through mono.In the future I hope to move it to a ppa... but first I need to figure out how a ppa works.

When you look at the loaded DLL you see that DX9 is loaded. I should start a thread about that when I get the time to take a few screenshot ...... I did notice that, but remember reading somewhere that early applications of DX10-11 were heavily using existing DX9 stuff.... I just racked it up as that.
