How to Update Mods From the Pre 0.20.0 Format to the Post 0.20.0 Format

[Raptor22]

So, this is pretty simple. All you have to do is add a "wrapper" to the part.cfg file.

First, go into the folder of the mod of your choosing, then go to the parts section, and click on the cfg file of that part. Now at the top, put

PART {

Above the first line of code, and then scroll down to the bottom. Leave a space, then put a closed bracket ( } )

That's it!

(make sure that PART is in all caps and there is only 1 space between it and the open curvy bracket thing. And make sure to leave a line between the last line, and the closed curvy bracket.)

Now, it may not work with KSP 0.90.0, and it may not update the internals or the plugins. But at least it shows up in the parts, and you can almost always improvise. It's a cheap, fast solution for all of you who want mods to at LEAST work.

Um, hate to be a nemesis or something, but I think you mean pre-0.20 and post-0.20. Otherwise, yep, that's how to do it.

Also, this affair about addons is moving to General Add-On Affairs.

Well, it still works! Is there any way to change it's name?

There is indeed! Click 'edit' on your post, then click 'go advanced' -- you can then edit the title as well as the post body.
