General Question Adding to Planet.cfg?

[R8-Q88]

I was going to install the sea bases and solar system bases addons on OHM, but when I read the readme, it said that I needed to add lines to my planets' cfg files. I have never known an addon to require this, so I need to know if this is required in Orbiter 2010 P1, and if there might be a workaround if it will ruin my install.

Why not make a backup first?

And yes, it's still required in 2010 otherwise the bases won't appear.

Old bases required their configuration files explicitly referenced in celestial body's configuration and position of base was defined there too. Since Orbiter 2005, IIRC, configuration files of bases don't need to be referenced in planet's configuration file, but "Config/<Planet>/Base>" directory is scanned by default for their presence.

You can edit the configuration files of bases and add the location of base there, if you don't want to edit planet's configuration, then put those files in "Config/<Planet_Name>/Base" directory.

The configuration of base should be starting like that:

BASE-V2.0
Name = <Base Name>
Location = <longitude> <latitude>
Size = <base_size>

Thanks Orb! I will try that out later.
