How to open CRAFT file?
An often recurring problem with KSP Spacecraft Format is that CRAFT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that CRAFT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CRAFT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Kerbal Space Program
In this case, you should first verify that the Kerbal Space Program application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Kerbal Space Program in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support CRAFT files.
Programs to open CRAFT file
Remember to download programs supporting CRAFT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kerbal Space Program with CRAFT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CRAFT file still does not use the Kerbal Space Program program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CRAFT file with the Kerbal Space Program program.
Step 3. Update Kerbal Space Program to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Kerbal Space Program program, it is possible that KSP Spacecraft Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Squad website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CRAFT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CRAFT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CRAFT file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CRAFT file. However, remember that not every infected CRAFT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CRAFT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CRAFT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Squad
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CRAFT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CRAFT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CRAFT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CRAFT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CRAFT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
