This is an early beta of the CKAN fork with Kitten Space Agency support. We're putting it out so people who want to help test can install KSA mods through it and tell us what breaks.
Please read this before you install it:
Warning: this is beta software. Back up your mods folder and your saves before you touch anything. Things can and probably will go wrong. Don't run this against a save or a modded setup you can't afford to lose, and don't expect everything to just work yet.
What you can help test:
- Installing, updating, and removing KSA mods through CKAN
- Mods that depend on StarMap
- Whether your existing KSP install and mods still work exactly like before (we didn't intend to change anything there, but we want more than our own testing to confirm it)
If something breaks, please tell us. Open an issue on this repo with what you were doing, what you expected, and what happened instead. Logs help a lot if you can grab them.
Notes
Known issues:
- If you run more than one KSA instance, they currently share one mods folder, and CKAN treats that conservatively rather than fully supporting it yet. That's a known limitation we're still working on, not a bug you need to report.
- StarMap doesn't support Linux yet, so if you're on Linux and install a mod that depends on StarMap, it will not work.
Installation
There's no exe attached to this release, you'll build it yourself. Only takes a few minutes:
1. Install the .NET 10 SDK if you don't have it: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
2. Install Git if you don't have it (you can also download this whole repository by clicking the Source code button at the bottom of this page): https://git-scm.com/downloads
3. Open a terminal and run:
```
git clone https://github.com/KSAModding/CKAN-KSA.git
cd CKAN-KSA
./build.ps1 Release
```
4. When it finishes, your exe is at _build/repack/Release/ckan.exe (the .NET Framework 4.8.1 build). That's the one to run.
If you don't want to do those steps, which is understandable you'd need to wait until we merge this fork into the main CKAN repository.
