You can try removing all of the USI mods you've installed by CKAN and try again. If it's still giving issues then I'd suggest continuing to follow Roverdude's advice and manage them manually for a little while longer. EDIT: Oh, and 'ckan update' just refers to running ckan in commandline mode. That just refreshes the ckan cache as you've already done. Expand Thanks. Makes sense. I've been struggling with the USI mods for a couple of weeks so I'm going to install manually for the time being. On 2/13/2016 at 2:33 AM, linuxgurugamer said: I ran into this.

PTNLemay Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I've had a few mods give me errors like this while trying to install them. I'm not sure if the problem is on their end or if it's an issue with CKAN. It might also have to do with the fact that I can't access KerbalStuff.com right now... Actually that makes a lot of sense. I'm guessing the problem will be fixed when the site comes back online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWampa Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I just came here to thank the CKAN team for all of their work. I just came back to KSP after a longer hiatus, and it has never been easier to get my old mod collection up and running again. Thank you so much for this wonderful tool!

Olympic1 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Sorry for anyone who has problems with downloading mods via CKAN. There are some problems with KerbalStuff which causes our bot to be unable to update mods or even to download them. This is not a problem we can fix on our side, since this can only be fixed by the KerbalStuff team. Sorry for the inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruedii Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Is there a way we could make CKAN use a list of mirrors instead of just one source package. I find it annoying that if one of the download sites goes down a bunch of the mods can't be installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxgurugamer Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I don't know if any of you read this, but Kerbalstuff has shut down permanently. A notice is on the page. Expect a lot of netkan updates over the next few weeks as people (including myself) move their mods elsewhere. Linuxgurugamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta_8930 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I think shutting down Kerbalstuff was COMPLETELY WRONG by the owner. Kerbalstuff has many more mods than curse, and some mods are unique to KS as well. Now CKAN is also down, which leaves many players without access to their favorite mods. I have always used KerbalStuff over curse because it reminded me of the now defunct Spaceport. Ever since squad chose curse to store (half of) their mods, I never used their mod site and I never will. Maybe we can start Kerbalstuff 2 with the source code and the torrent...as a tribute to the now defunct Kerbalstuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
