Problem with F8 #6

Closed Grenadith closed 10 years ago

Grenadith commented 10 years ago

A couple days ago when I downloaded Kerbcam, it worked just fine. Now, however, when I press F8, nothing happens. I first restarted, then reinstalled Kerbcam, and then I came here to see if there was a soultion or to post about it. I saw the command line you gave (on the Spaceport page), and I put it into a text file in the KSP directory (I’m guessing you mean inside the Kerbcam folder, right?). I then changed the in-game keybinding of F8 to another key, and restarted the game. However, it is still broken.

What do I do now?

P.S. Sorry for posting this for the third time in three different places, but I just wanted to cover a wide range, just in case you see one more often than the other.

Sounds like you've taken the correct approach, but no, it literally is the KSP directory itself for that text file (or it was, the last time I was testing Kerbcam). That is, place the "kerbcam.cfg" file in the same directory as KSP.exe. If in doubt, just remove any file called "kerbcam.cfg", and that should revert back to the default settings. Any saved paths you have will be in a separate file called "kerbcam-paths.cfg".

If that's still not working after that, then I'd be interested if there were any errors that might relate to Kerbcam. The log is (if I remember correctly) viewable by pressing Alt-F2 in game (which also toggles the UI, which is toggleable by F2 on its own). The easiest way to see the logs, and to send them to someone is to just use the KSP.log file in the KSP.exe directory.

Well, it's working now. I deleted the kerbcam.cfg file, and reinstalled the mod again, and now it works. Thanks for the help!

On my question, however, I was asking about the post where you said:

"If F8 isn’t working, make a text file inside your KSP directory with the contents:

KEY_BINDINGS { KEY_TOGGLE_WINDOW = F8 }

… change “F8″ to a different key, and restart KSP."

I guess it doesn't matter now, but hey, thanks for the help! I'll finally be able to start working on my project. Great mod, btw, I don't think I ever said that.

Excellent, I'm glad it's working for you now! Happy filming!
