Game Crashes When Launching New Game (RO-RP-0) #2643
Comments
I'm running on windows x64. KSP 1.8.1 Log file created at: 2020/07/12 11:50:40 I see the issue, I should delete the Master Principia folder out and leave the Principia folder from the Binary downloads ? |
There is an FAQ. There is also a forum thread.
The mod was improperly installed, it sounds like you have multiple copies of the configuration files.
I am not entirely sure what you are referring to, but if you downloaded the source code repository at master and somehow shoved that into your game, you are holding it wrong; that is not how you install KSP mods, and this is not specific to Principia. The installation instructions are in the FAQ. |
Fixed Just had to delete the master folder, as stated above just a copy of a single config was conflicting. And Yes I know there is a FAQ but the information is rather generalized and overbearing. I'm was looking for a more specific answer such you provided and this issue has been resolved without me having to go through a lot of information or misunderstanding said information. As for the last statement. Restating that it is installed incorrectly is well stating the obvious, I was looking for a solution EI yes you are not suppose to have the master folder present and this is why. I would encourage you to provide a method for solution for future help as just restating the issue isnt helpful. "I am not entirely sure what you are referring to, but if you downloaded the source code repository at master and somehow shoved that into your game, you are holding it wrong; that is not how you install KSP mods, and this is not specific to Principia." The statement that's not how you install mods is pretty obviously with me posting here to begin so restating said fact isn't helpful. Just wanted to point that out for future people who need help so they actually get solutions and not restatements of their issues. |
The FAQ is definitely quite long, and a bit daunting. We are open to suggestions for making the installation instructions easier to understand; while they are quite prominent in the FAQ page itself, it seems that this did not do the job. I have two questions:
A word of warning though: although its installation process is fairly typical, the actual gameplay of this mod is very different from stock KSP; you will likely have a hard time making sense of it without reading the documentation. As for your remarks on restating the obvious, I am happy to hear that it was obvious to you that you had misinstalled the mod. It was not at all obvious to me that you knew that, since you believed that you had
and since, this being a bug tracker, most of the issues opened here are errors in Principia, rather than setup errors. Another thing that was not obvious to me (as conveyed by my use of the words “not entirely sure”) is what you had actually done; you did not describe the steps you had followed, and the installation instructions do not involve a Master folder, so I had to infer from your second comment that you somehow downloaded the source code repository (possibly via That which is obvious to you is not always obvious to others; that which looks to you like restating what you said may be a clarification to others. Keep in mind that I am not the only developer of this mod: issue comments are also a channel for communication between developers, and clarifying everything that is understood about an issue is critical to avoid wasting time diagnosing it multiple times. |
I have zero experience with this mod. Additionally the information out there regarding this is hard for me to find given I'm not in the "loop" on this yet. With this said, whatever logs or information required to help assist please guide me to their respected directories so I can provide them.
I'm running RO-RP-1 with its supporting required mods. I can provide a full mod list if required but I have no deviated from the core of the install instructions with RO.
