Hello Luca
Are you using the texture from the installed version,
Or have you downloaded any new ones ?

Also could you give us a rundown on what Graphics card, Graphics ram, and main ram you have.

Thanks...........

Okay thank you Chris
I wasn't sure if this was something we needed or not.
I'm glad it turned out to be nothing.

I have safely removed the line myself.

Okay Problem solved Sorry I botthered you with this Grant It had nothing to do with the file, And evrything to do with the way I run Celestia. :roll: The Solsys-locs.ssc is in the DATA folder And I have all the code for the planets in the solarsys.ssc in the data folder too. But.... Any moons, I hav...

Yes I though that too Thats why I said mars was working okay But the strange thing is, Not one single moon has any labels on at all for me. but our moon is in between Earth and mars in the code. and they are fine, along with all the planets 8O I do remember when Locations was first intraduced, that ...

Thank you for that Bob that is just what I was after Also Grant I have run a full check Mercury is showing all 6 Locations Venus all 8 Earth is showing all 12 and mars is showing all 18 locations from the solsys-locs.ssc But..... Not one of the moons or our moon is showing any locations at all Now.....

Hello Grant thank you for this great new feature for Celestia But im having some trouble none of the locations is working for the moon at all. but the file itself is working, as i have all these locations showing for mars and they are great, and the earth oceans too. i havent checked all the planets...

This is always a good question.
And one Chris doesn't talk about much.

So best thing to do is Install the new Celestia to a new Folder
and copy across any file that is new that what you have.

Sorry I made a boo boo, too. I didn't mean the start.cel I meant the Celestia.cfg , its the third line down. There is a line in there, that reads StarCatalogCrossReferences [ "data/hdxref.dat" ] and hdxref.dat is missing from the data folder. I corrected my first post too

Hoth and Degobah

In the Celestia.cfg there is a line that reads


But hdxref.dat is missing from the data folder.
Is this file needed ?


Also Whilst I'm here
North America is input twice in the solsys-locs.ssc

A very Merry Chrsitmas to you Chris and all the Developers
And thank you for this release

Hello Dollard
On the Laptop, did you press (Shift-7) to turn on Labels

Ah thanks Chris, now I understand

Sorry if we came across like the Spanish Inquisition

Buzz I do believe the one I was refering to, is your very texture.
Just Converted to DDS

Sorry I got it so long ago, I completly forgot where
maybe you should make it available in DDS too.

Don is your updated Earth still without spec map ? If so, may I suggest you put up a spec map for download on your web site as they are harder to find. And ther has been a few instances where newcomers are saying they can't see water reflections. I have a fairly good 8k dds with all the lakes if yo...

Hello galileo
If you like taking screen shots and showing them,
Why not start your own Celestia Gallery.

Just send Chris an E-mail and he will get you started with your own gallery space.

Just click my gallery link at the bottom to see what its like.

Have you downloaded any new textures latley

Some Earth Textures do not have the spec map built into the texture
and require you to add it separately.
