SDK Manager

Infinity

Hello again! It’s me your local mod tooling gal, a.k.a Infinity, and I’m here to share to y’all something cool that I’ve been working on!

So, I’ve noticed that creating modding projects is a huge hurdle for getting started with modding, and that there is also no way to easily upgrade a project between 0.2.8.5 and 26w32a or any version you’d want - with our current recommendations being to just create a new project and copy the assets. Obviously unsustainable…

That’s why I’ve decided to create something called the Redux SDK Manager

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

The Redux SDK manager is a GUI/CLI based tool for managing your projects, with the CLI being for those more technically inclined to work with, so this will be a general overview of the GUI.

Starting off when opened, you are greeted with a list of your projects (yours obviously will be empty) and buttons for importing/creating new projects easily.

View on launch

Creating a new project for your mods is quite simple, all you do is press new and select a version (snapshot versions are hidden by default, you can enable them in the settings)

New project menu

Once you have chosen a version, a folder picker will pop up asking you for an empty folder to create the project in

After that, you will be asked to choose a name for your project

Name dialog

And then it may prompt you that it found a KSP2 install, this is for the automated thunderkit importing.

Afterwards, you just have to wait for the setup to complete (it will take like 5-10 minutes) and you should have a usable modding project!

Upgrading a project to a new SDK version is also just as simple, you press the upgrade button and choose the new version you want to target and it will do everything for you.

Requirements

Section titled “Requirements”

This program does require you to have git and the unity hub installed, it will detect this on launch and prompt you to install if you don’t have them, but if you want to download them first, here is where you can find them

On first launch you also need to be connected to the internet to fetch the latest SDK versions, subsequent launches and project upgrading does not require a connection however unity will not be able to download the packages without internet connection.

Download

Have fun making your mods! :3
