Is anyone else having trouble using CKAN to install Astronomer's Visual Pack? I can't get past the startup loading screen.

Are you by any chance getting CTD (Crash To Desktop) without any warning? If so you're probably running out of RAM.

Tynrael · August 30, 2015

Is it possible to export a CKAN file that would be able to still function after a mod updates?

I saw this a few pages back:

If you want all the mods you've installed, but don't want to care about them being the exact same version, you can modify the exported .ckan file to remove the version requirements, although the CKAN can be finnicky with the file format so you'll need to be careful with trailing commas.

It sounds like I could strip out the version line for each mod in my file (and also cutout the comma on the preceding line)? I'm not sure if that would hurt or help me more :wink:

I setup a file last night and in less than 12 hours it was broken because Module Manager did an update that caused a difference between what was available and what was stored in my file. The early comment is about keeping the version for mods already installed, but I'm interested in the file being able to work when mods are being downloaded for a fresh KSP install.

JedTech · August 30, 2015

Was just thinking it would be really cool if CKAN could copy a list of installed mods to the Clipboard. Even better if it was formatted with hyperlinks to the mods forum threads. This would be a great way to share what mods you use with other players.

You can export your modlist as "favourite list" in the export dialog.

John FX · August 31, 2015

I`m getting a crash if I try to install mods alongside updating mods. Is anyone else suffering this?

EDIT :

This is an awesome tool.
I am currently having one issue. I have installed Planetshine, but even though it says 1.0.4 is the latest version supported, when I start KSP there is a message saying that Planetshine is only compatible up to 1.0.2.

If you look in your gamedata folder then into the planetshine folder and find either a .version file or a version.txt file you can load it into notebook and change the 1.0.2 into 1.0.4, save that again and you should not be bothered with the notification again.

No, I don't. I also don't have this problem if I manually install the Astronomer's Pack. If I install it with CKAN, though, I can't load into the Main Menu.

To clarify, I will load the entire game, all the mods, etc, and when the game actually needs to display anything, it will crash.

I would check the cloud config files that are installed when you use CKAN and see if there are textures being used for Kerbin that are not installed. When the Main Menu loads it has Kerbin in the background and will use clouds in this scene. I have had crashes at this point or no clouds rendered when there is a mismatch between what textures there are and what the config files are attempting to load.

waterlubber · September 1, 2015

First time I used CKAN, I had an issue where clicking on mods stopped highlighting them in blue, so I just clicked Apply changes. Everything seemed to be working, but after 30 or so minutes it's still installing. I have very fast internet, 50 mbps down.

Here's a screenshot:

Wow! This is probably the sexiest thing since... KSP.

You sir are a scholar and a gentlemen! This is just... ;_;

I'm getting the same issue. Same Ubuntu and all.

Perry Apsis · September 2, 2015

Incredibly useful and bravo on a job well done. If I may offer a couple of suggestions:

* A "new!" marker the first time a new mod appears in a refresh, or possibly until cleared by the user.

* Change summary for updates.

Thanks!

Ok, I managed to fix mine. Did you make sure to install libcurl4-openssl-dev???

open the terminal, then type sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev let it instlal, then run the ckan again. Mine worked fine.

Senpai17 · September 2, 2015

I have a suggestion for the future. For installed mods, if we list the date installed and the date of the latest version available on CKAN, that would allow users to see if the mod being downloaded is the latest version.

I too would also request this. It would be great for people who install a lot of mods (like myself) and when game starts to crash, remove the last few installed mods to troubleshoot. I'm currently trying to track a recently installed mod that started causing my CTD.

Grix · September 2, 2015

I would check the cloud config files that are installed when you use CKAN and see if there are textures being used for Kerbin that are not installed. When the Main Menu loads it has Kerbin in the background and will use clouds in this scene. I have had crashes at this point or no clouds rendered when there is a mismatch between what textures there are and what the config files are attempting to load.

Where should I look for that?

Tynrael · September 2, 2015

Where should I look for that?

You can open the CFG files in GameData\BoulderCo\Clouds\ with something like Notepad or another program (I'm using Notepad++) and quickly search for "body = Kerbin". You can then see what files are being used for the main_texture or detail and just see if those textures are also in the GameData\BoulderCo\Clouds\Textures\ location. You should be able to cycle through and check all the textures in your config files in just 1-2 minutes to see if something is actually missing. There are so many piecemeal options to opt into with Astronomer's and Environmental Visual Enhancements that I think it is possible your selections may end up with something missing (especially if doing it manually works fine), but this may not be the case.

Oh, I didn't even know that I had to install that. I did know how, though.

open the terminal, then type sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev let it instlal, then run the ckan again. Mine worked fine.

I am running Manjaro Linux, which doesn't know apt-get (it uses pacman instead). None of the bot libs mentioned in the OP are known to Manjaro. Does this mean that I do not need them or is there a third alternativ?

(CKAN runs fine, except that the check for updates fails with a "can't write header" or so error)

gleedadswell · September 6, 2015

Hi, Testflight shows up as incompatible with 1.0.4 in ckan. But it seems to be compatible (I've been using it).

radni · September 6, 2015

help? still cant make it work

Postremus · September 6, 2015

radni, please install .net 4.5. You can download it from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=30653

pjf · September 7, 2015

CKAN v1.14.1 aka Eris released!

[h=3]Bugfixes[/h]

[GUI] Re-ordering repositories in the settings panel is more stable. (Postremus, #1431)
[GUI] Fixed an unhandled exception that could occur when installing metapages via Install -> From .ckan. (Postremus, #1436)
[Core] Less likely to remove essential directories (such as Ships/*) if empty. (Postremus, #1405)

[h=3]Features[/h]

[All] When installing and uninstalling mods, the mod name and version will be used rather than the internal identifier. (Postremus, #1401)
[GUI] The GUI changeset screen now provides explanations as to why changes are being made. (Postremus, #1412)

[h=3]Internal[/h]

[NetKAN] netkan.exe will now report its version and exit if run with the --version switch. (pjf, #1415)

Many, many thanks again to Postremus for some amazing work! (And a lot more that still needs reviewing, so you can expect v1.14.2 at the end of the week!)

Kerbal01 · September 7, 2015

Any plans to make a native Mac app for CKAN, I am very against using 3rd party stuff (Mono) to get other stuff (CKAN, Etc) to run. And since I mainly use macs where I'm just a user, not an admin as I'm used to (public library) I cannot really get poeple to get me admin passwords.

marzipandancer · September 7, 2015

Tip for anyone on OSX just getting started installing CKAN, here are the issues that I ran into that you may be able to avoid:

OSX Version: 10.10.5

Hardware: Mid 2014 15" Retina w/ 2.5GHz i7 and 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2GB GFX Card

KSP Version: 1.0.4, with 64 bit Unity installation

Without going into too much detail (unless requested by a dev, but I think they're aware of these issues), the linked release of Mono in the OSX install guide will NOT work (MonoFramework-MDK-3.12.1.macos10.xamarin.x86, or verson 3.12.1.) You must instead download and install version 3.10.1 (http://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/27011/fix-for-gdipcreatefromcontext-macosx-and-other-macios-gdi-issues <--- Link in there, thanks Chris Hamons and whoever asked the question in the first place!)

After installing 3.10.1, you can use the command lines listed in the install guide without an issue EXCEPT: when you open CKAN and try to find your KSP install, it won't be visible in your Applications folder. Simply copy the folder to Documents (have to actually copy the folder, an alias won't work) and use that as your new location for KSP. Then you'll be able to navigate to it through CKAN.

Also note that Homebrew seems to run into an error installing CKAN, and I've tried just about every workaround I could find and it doesn't seem to help. This may be specific to my machine and my settings, but in any case, the Mono install option listed above should work just fine.

There may be a better workaround for CKAN searching for your KSP install that allows you to leave KSP in your applications folder, but I'm done Googling and just want to play some KSP, so I'm leaving the information here.

Thanks!
