Custom Part not appearing in editor

[Greendolph]

Today I tried making a part from scratch for the first time, but when I loaded up KSP it didn't appear in the editor.

It has a model.mu, texture.mgm, I made the collider using unity and PartTools. It is in a directory in GameData. I've checked the cfg for any inconsistencies and couldn't find any.

What are some common things that might have gone wrong?

common things could be config typos; missing texture link; bad animation; missing mesh in the export. you need to be a little more specific.

easy way to start troubleshooting is find your output_log.txt from KSP_Data, and do a global text search for the part's name. Notepad ++ is great for this. you can get a list of every log entry with the text you searched. look at each of those to see if there are errors related to your part.

I've found two lines in the output log,

Load(Texture): KerbalEmpire/ResourceTank/texture

and

Load(Model): KerbalEmpire/ResourceTank/model

I found no related errors and there are no animations. Should there be output load lines for the config and the collider? Those did not appear.

Hmmmm. Could you post your part.cfg please?

looks like your config file didn't load.

you should see at least 4 entries related to your part. two you see now. plus

Config(Part) //where your config file is parsed

PartLoader: Compiling Part. // where part is assembled and added to your parts list in VAB/SPH
