No Mods Working

[ClimberAres]

I can't get any of my few mods to run, and have tried a few solutions. I do not think that the problem is with the mods, and most report that everything is working well with these mods.

Mods:

LandingHeight11

KerbalEngineer 1.0.14.1

KerbalAlarmClock 3.2.2.0

DockingPortAlignment 5.1

ModuleManager.2.5.8

I run 0.90, and it works just fine - just none of the mods work. I have tried deleting all the mods, redownloading, and reinstalling. Then tried deleting everything, and reinstalling. In fact, the installs made things worse, as landing height was working.

When still with 0.25, KE, KAC, and LandingHeight all worked (never did get the other 2 to work). Those 3, to me, are the big ones.

I feel like this is a folder issue, so here's the directory, though I obviously haven't figured it out. Everything is direct copy and paste of folders, so misspelling and caps shouldn't an issue (and please forgive any misspelling below). Here is my directory (with the new install, I have not even tried to load DPA):

-KSP Root-

-GameData-

-KerbalEngineer-

-LandingHeight-

-NASAmission-

-Squad-

-TriggerTech-

ModuleManager.2.5.8.dll

Here is the log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxcY-bhkfTRMUkJWUDlad3pZTXM/view?usp=sharing

Thanks in advance to any and all that help!

In my directory, the spaced indents didn't post correctly. Here's what it should look like:

-KSP Root-

--GameData-

---KerbalEngineer-

---LandingHeight-

---NASAmission-

---Squad-

---TriggerTech-

---ModuleManager.2.5.8.dll

Alright, dev of Landing Height here.

I can't speak for the other mods, but landing height .dll file should be at "KSP-Install\GameData\Diazo\LandingHeight\LandingHeight.dll", the 'Diazo' directory is missing.

With that in mind, I would suggest checking the .zip files you downloaded the mods from. Most of them will have a GameData directory in them that should be merged with your KSP-Install\GameData directory to install them into the correct location.

Note that even installed in the wrong place, Landing Height will work as it does not reference any external files. The other, larger, mods probably do reference external files so if they are in the wrong spot they can't find those files and fail to work.

Hope that helps,

Unfortunately, I have tried several of such iterations and moving things around (not all the zips make that very clear).

I have just changed to KSP Root\GameData\Diazo\LandingHeight\LandingHeight .dll

Still nothing

Thank you, though, I didn't expect to get a mod builder to help!

In that case, we are going to need the game's log file to help you any farther.

Check the support post stickied in this forum on where to find it. Note that the log you linked in the first post appears to be for the KSP Launcher, not for the game itself and doesn't actually help us any.

I thought somethings was fishy with that log file, but as it was the only one I could find, I assumed it was the one.

This may have something to do with things. I can't several files. When I search the KSP Root directory for "output". The only result was the launcher log. When I search for "persis" as in persistent.sfs, I return no results. There appear to be files missing, but the game works fine. It loads my saves from the persistent file, I can also ALT+F2 and see the log. This continues to be true when I "Show Hidden Files". These files are also not in my 0.90 zip to run the whole thing.

Reading the KSP readme, there is an ".msi" file mentioned that I also cannot find. I cannot download the KSP Installer (in any finite period of time) due to perpetual "Invalid Token" errors due to my crappy internet from living in the sticks. I'm not sure how important that is, because the game works just fine.

I hit ALT+F2 very early in the load, and I didn't see any red logs at the beginning during the time in the GameData folder (I was able to see 1 reference to Kerbal Engineer.

Thanks more.

...the fact that you mention the zip suggests to me that you are RUNNING KSP from the zip. You do need to properly extract the zip archive to a directory on your hard drive for it to work properly.

The .msi file mentioned (as part of the sentence "Run the installer .msi file once it finishes downloading") is simply a different installation package, made to be more convenient for Windows users.

[Diazo]

Okay, from your last post, it looks like you are on linux.

The file you are looking for is named "player.log" in that case. It should be located at:

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

If you can get that to us we should be able to find some clues in it.

DeMatt,

I used Windows Explorer to extract the zip to c:\program files\Kerbal (my Kerbal Root), but I will go get a more dedicated program, just to be sure. Sorry for that confusion, I meant that if those files are supposed to be in the initial zip before extraction, they are not.

Diazo,

Sorry, Windows 7. I will upload a screen grab of the KSP_Data folder for your inspection when I get home in a couple of hours. I will make sure to "show" hidden files.

A note, I am just tech savvy enough to get into trouble.

Again thank you both.

Do Not Install In Program Files. You are asking for trouble with Windows and some AV access control.

[ClimberAres]

sarbian, Nailed It! I simply moved the files to c:\games\Kerbal... Everything works perfectly! All the files I said were missing showed up the first time I loaded from the new directory.

Thank you all for your help. I never would have gotten that on my own.
