TED - KSP Tech Tree Editor - v0.2.3 Alpha

Description

An external, visual, point-and-click tool for editing and creating custom tech trees for Kerbal Space Program. The tool generates the text files used by other plugins, such as TechManager and ATC, hence one of these plugins are required for the trees to get loaded into the game itself.

Installation

  1. Unpack the archive in any location.
  2. Launch TED-v[x.x].exe

Troubleshooting

Usage

  1. Startup
    1. Start by selecting your KSP root folder, usually that's C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Kerbal Space Program but it may differ on your machine
  2. Load
    1. (Option 1) Load an existing tech tree file (.cfg)
      • Make sure you select the right format!
      • For TechManager files use Load TechManager Tree..
      • For ATC files use Load ATC Tree...
    2. (Option 2) Create a new tech tree from scratch
      • Click on New Blank Tree
    3. (Option 4) Create a new tech tree starting from the Stock tech
      • Click on New Stock Tree
  3. Edit
    1. Click on a node to edit it's values on the right (the sidebar).
    2. Move nodes around by draging.
    3. Add or remove parts from nodes at the bottom of the sidebar.
      • The top section indicates the parts assigned to that node.
      • The bottom section is a list of all detected parts in your KSP folder.
    4. Press DELETE to delete a node.
    5. Press SHIFT+CLICK to add a blank node on an empty space
    6. Select a node and press CTRL+CLICK on another node to link or unlink parents.
      • The little cirlce indicates the direction of the link.
  4. Save
    1. Click Save at the top menu to save your file in TechManager format.
    2. Click Save (ATC) to save in ATC format.
    3. You will be prompted to select the filename and where to save.
    4. NOTE: It does not matter what file the tree was when you loaded, you can save in any format (this can be used to convert a tree from one format to another!)
  5. Load into KSP
    1. Follow the corresponding mod instructions!
    2. This has nothing to do with TED, TED only generates the files.
    3. Again, see the corresponding mods instructions: TechManager, ATC

Known Issues

  • It looks terrible! UI work has not properly started yet, this is a "skin-less" version of the application.
  • Lots and lots of bugs. Yes, this is early alpha, there are LOTS of bugs. Please report and I'll fix as soon as I can.

Changelog

v0.2.3 Alpha (2014-11-15)

  • TechManager v1.3 support
  • No longer supports TreeLoader, TreeLoader has discontinued

  • Fix bug when loading parts from KSP folder

v0.2.1 Alpha 2 (2014-11-02)
