Tracking Station Will not load anymore - Game corrupt due to unknown set of mods

[lextacy]

Im having a major issue with the game. I can load it up the first time and play a flight. After exiting to space center and going into the tracking station it will not load. VAB, ect. works. Ive narrowed it down to 3 mods that might be the problem. SCANsat, Kerbal Konstructs, and Kerbal Joint Reinforcment. Sadly neither of the mod authors want to check into it and blame either Squad, another mod author, or tell me to post a non-existing player.log file. Way to take responsibility I guess. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ive tried those mods in a fresh install and there were no issues. This proves that at least one of these mods is playing basically with other mods or a combination of mods. For this reason im only posting the log file of the corrupted KSP with all its mods. This way we can target the conflict.

I can give the KSP.log as the game spits this out

here is the latest pers. save

ok I narrowed it down to SCAsat, the removal of the mod solves the issue, but destroys all crafts! Of course this is not acceptable. So I fired off a bug check post in the SCANsat thread. Lets see if the author blames someone else.

post a non-existing player.log file.

1, I've said this to you before - it does exist. It's found in the following locations:

Mac OS X: Open Console, on the left side of the window there is a menu that says 'files'. Scroll down the list and find the Unity drop down, under Unity there will be Player.log ( Files>~/Library/Logs>Unity>Player.log )

Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Squad/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/Player.log

There's no way to correctly and easily diagnose the problem without it.

2, being snarky towards the mod authors (who are the people you want help from) will not make them want to help you. Just sayin'.

I cant find this path ~/.config/unity3d/Squad/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/Player.log is this under the root folder that which I cannot access? My folder structure under Ubuntu 13.10 is this :

-bin

-boot

-cdrom

-dev

-etc

-home

-lib

-lib32

-lib64

-media

-mnt

-opt

-proc

-root

-run

-sbin

-srv

-sys

-tmp

-usr

-var

there is no .config folder , is this a hidden folder im not suppose to be seeing?

Yes, it's a hidden folder. On Unix systems, all folders beginning with a period are hidden. ~ means your home folder, so ~/.config on Linux means the /home/[your username]/.config. You can always access it through the terminal, but how you do it with a GUI depends on your window manager. In terminal, type cd ~/.config/unity3d/Squad/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/ to go to that folder.

Please also see my reply in the SCANsat thread.

thanks ! found the log file However the "where to get help" sticky needs to be updated that informs people that they need to use control-H to show this file. I for the life of me would have never found this file if it wasnt for you

Or you could have, you know, actually typed in '~/.config/unity3d/Squad/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/' either as an argument to a console command, ie. ls, cp, cat etc. or in the path of your clicky file manager thingy, rather than getting snarky towards those trying to help you.

The shell will expand '~' for you.

Telling people to 'use Ctrl-H' is pointless as the keyboard shortcut will be different for different file managers / desktop environments.

Explaining that '.config' is a hidden directory might be more worthwhile, however if you're using GNU/Linux you should probably know this already as 'dotfiles' in your home directory are where pretty much all your per-user settings are stored.

What irks me is not that you didn't know where to find it, but way you immediately & repeatedly pointed the finger at mod devs and accused them of 'not taking responsibility'.

yea I know, I might come off as harsh. Its all frustration driven. I only say that so mod makers dont just jump the gun and say "NOT IT" . I want quality diagnosis as im not good with computers. But also I have a large distrust to people who know more than me in computers, as that is a recipe for taking advantage of me. Its just the way ive been brought up. Im not here to make enemies. Im just one of those pessimist type people sadly.

The only thing I can think of is Targetron. It allows you to jump from ship to ship without going to map mode or the tracking station.

EDIT: Of course you can't terminate vessels but you can turn on infinite fuel and ram them into the nearest planetary body.

Then Targetron should do you well. just jump from ship to ship, hyperediting it out of existence or recovering it with the button under the altimeter.
