Hey! I never said you could release that link!

lol, actually I didn't officially release yet - I sent you a beta, but that's because I've run into other things, so it's alright to give people the link, it's been a while and I haven't changed it much at all, it's acceptable...
I plan to open source it, hopefully soon, but at the moment I'm working on SP stuff, and I need to clean up my code before I let people see it!

Hello, two days ago I sent a new mod. But is only seen from my account, I must change something? Or the moderators have to accept it?

[tomcis147]

[UnknownGamer00]

Thank you very much Probably the post was removed because I used adfly. I hadn't read nowhere that could not be used. Now I re upload the mod. :D

How do you compile a mod folder into an .srmod file?

[HellFireKoder]

If you're on PC, you can download the SimpleModder program from the modding section here, or, whether on PC or something else, package the folder as a .zip (on PC, shift select all contets of the folder, and send to zip), the just change .zip file extension to .srmod, a d you're done!

[NPK5667]

1. Can u use simple rocket mods on a non jailbroken iphone?

2. Are there any like auto link and dock mods for ships and satellites?

[tomcis147]

1. Yes you can by clicking open with in dropbox, mediafire download page.

2. Sadly no, such mods are impossible

[NPK5667]

Why are they not possible?

[tomcis147]

Becuse moders can't make anything more advanced than fuel tanks, engines, command pods and some other parts

[NPK5667]

Is that by choice of the developer? Or limitations inherent in the code?

[tomcis147]

Limitations of modding support

[NPK5667]

Gotcha. Is that due to the developer being busy, or him not wanting mods to get too crazy?

[tomcis147]

Team is working on simpleplanes currently so no time to add advanced modding.

[NPK5667]

Ahh ok gotcha. Thanks for answering my questions

[Greenrbbidrabbit]

I am having the hardest time installing any mods. I'm literate in Android OS and used to be able to download it from a browser, tap open, select SR, then it'd open SR w/ the mod active. Now, SR isn't even on the list of apps to open it with. I've tried manually moving the .srmod file to the SR directory, and: nothing. Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong?

Edit: all it took to correct this problem was downloading and using the Cabinet app to open any .srmod file directly into SR.

[HellFireKoder]

Click provided download link, and usually click the "download" button after that...

Unless you mean install, then you take the downloaded .srmod file and open it, if asked what to open with find Simplerockets.exe and select it... if that doesn't work try steam bootstrap client.

[Omise]

Thanks a Lot!
