please just not spacedock i hate it.

Agreed

who cares where or how the mods are uploaded, just feel free to make a PR to that github as its probably the best central repository thing available rn

Yeah as long as we have a central thing I don't really care

just use github
and later they can grab it from a list we provide with all the dl links?

just this, keep a central list of mods and shit so people can easily find them
stable pelican
fucking spacedock?
untold finch
REAL
green shadow
honestly im not opposed working with someone on making a rudimentary website that is essentially a list directory with minimal css to host as a central repo. github can host you a site for free as long as we put the code ourselves for it
green shadow
would essentially be a repo thats public and operates with webgui
stable pelican
what about the ksp forums?
untold finch
also this is all gonna be phased out very quickly so not much point doing much complex
stable pelican
they do all that for you
green shadow
yeah, very lightweight
untold finch
they do all that for you
kinda yes, but also its just kinda useful having one mega list of mods anyone can easily add too
stable pelican
isnt that the forums? you can post there
if you have a new mod post it in the modlist thread
worked fine for ksp
also @tacit basalt whats wrong with spacedock?
tacit basalt
Eh i just don't like it
stable pelican
mind telling me why?
tacit basalt
Yes I do mind lmfao
untold finch
worked fine for ksp
ksp did also have tools like ckan and shit, also again this is all very rough (intentionally) as everything will problem go to shit soon anyway
tacit basalt
But mainly because the website looks like shit
stable pelican
ok in that case i cant help you @tacit basalt
you could change that
:)
@untold finch youre right. lets hope that ckan will be back
green shadow
alright this is just an example (this is stuff for EVE online), but, a website repo that is basically set up in a similar way, this is lightweight and should be easy to do https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/dump/
stable pelican
if you guys need any server resources for your efforts ping me on the ksp forums
untold finch
<@742761716030374058> youre right. lets hope that ckan will be back
yeah, theres no point in developing anything like CKAN right now as everything is just gonna break once they release official modding support. but i have no doubt ckan2 will arrive at some point in ksp2 liftime
untold finch
if you guys need any server resources for your efforts ping me on the ksp forums
github pages would probably be enough
stable pelican
yes just in case :)
untold finch
tbf i could hack together something in next or whatever in like 30 minutes. but there's too few mods to justify that right now
stable pelican
yes
untold finch
see how the mod scene develops, then shit like that can begin being made
stable pelican
i im somewhat relived ksp2 isnt all steam workshop
untold finch
i mean i hope at crafts come to steam workshop at some point, but maybe not mods if its gonna restrict them at all
stable pelican
i like how the ksp1 community worked and feared that ksp2 would kill that
theres kerbalx i would love a mod that makes using that to share easy (again)
i like community driven solutions even if their pages look shit
:D
green shadow
untold finch
i dont see a benefit of that compared to what we currently have imo
strange bay
if you guys need any server resources for your efforts ping me on the ksp forums
Perhaps for a dc bot
untold finch
discord bot for this server is probably pointless
stable pelican
you could use the spacedock api and auto add stuff to your list

I was gonna look into automated stuff yes

This should just be pinned to remind finished mods to add it to the repo

For people not in the discord
I should post it on reddit
stable pelican
i still dotn get whats wrong with the ksp forums
green shadow
i mean if people are hunting down mods for ksp2 prior to official support being avail, i think its reasonable that they would have to locate a discord
strange bay
i still dotn get whats wrong with the ksp forums
Nothing except that they still only have 1 mod
fair imp
so what, i post a link here and someone adds it, or commit to the repo?
untold finch
preferably a PR, but i can add it if you want
fair imp
ah if you don't mind, then https://github.com/ABritInSpace/RendezvousCheat-KSP2/

Added
fair imp
brilliant, tysm!
untold finch
no problem
strange bay

Pr or issue is preferred
fair imp
got it 😄
untold finch
Pr or issue is preferred
PR is easier, anyone making an issue to add a mod is probably capable of making a PR
strange bay

Yeah
And can you always say in the commit what mods you added?
half cobalt
How does ckan work
doesnt ckan just download the mods from curseforge, spacedock, github, etc..?
green shadow
It does a lot more than that but yes it also does that
There is a lot of handling instruction within ckan that allow it to do thinks like check dependencies, understand different kinds of ways mods are packaged and be able to install them where they need to go regardless of how the author put it together, ect

i was talking about just the places it downloads from
ofcourse theres more to it
green shadow
ahh, then yes
stable pelican
@strange bay CKAN works as link repo for mods. Mod Authors have to opt into it. Either by submitting their mod data or by checking the ckan checkbox on spacedock.
Its the practice in the KSP community that only the mod author is allowed to decide where his mods are uploaded and how they are distributed. The license a mod is under is also taken very seriously. So using a mod authors work against its license is a big no.
Bottem Line: you cant submit a mod to ckan or upload it somewhere when youre not the creator. you can however distribute the links to its official download sites.

Maybe we should just do that
https://github.com/Pathfinder-WOTR-Modding-Community/ModFinder
I made this once upon a time, it can pull from nexus/github, can add other backends, if there is interest?
as in, would do a new one, but as an example of stuff that I've done before.
strange bay
this would really be reinventing ckan but for just making sure spacedock is auto added sure
stable pelican
theres still that api you can query on SD
one thing you could to that would be great is to back up (privatly) all mod versions for future generations
including s much metadata as possible
i started that for ksp1 callign it MAP (MOD Archive Project)

get some storage space. write a bunch of scripts to download from spacedock , github,... let them check a linklist for new releases and autodl them appending a text file (maybe in json format) with meta ifnos scraped form the site(api)
let that run as rgularly (e.g. once a day/week)

the first one was harder to read for me personally

second one, banner kinda sucks on the first and it's a lot less readable
simplicity is what this needs

it might be a good idea to add some info (at least temporarily) whether a mod supports SpaceWarp 0.4+
since it seems to be the source of most confusion right now

Obviously, the above is just a fork of @Halbann's original - but I have added a feature and updated it to align with the SpaceWarp 1.1.1 tempalte and such.
strange bay
I discontinued this you can still update if you want i will still merge pr's but i wont update it myself
