Celestia Forums

Having trouble getting Despina & Galatea It does download a zip file, but of only 5kb and corrupt. Great work again Jestr -------------------------------------------- Update. I have these files now They didnt work from http://www.jextras.012webpages.com Also the pan, atlas, calypso, and metis update...

Ah thank you both, ill get the one, and wait for the others.

I just dicovered that there are now 27 moons around Uranus But I only have 24. I got the information from here http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/profile.cfm?Object=Uranus&Display=Moons I am missing: S/1986 U10 S/2003 U1 S/2003 U2 These do not seem to be in the Minormoons.ssc or the numberedmoons.s...

Nice web site again Jestr
Have you any plans to link this and your moons site together,
from a central page, a bit like Don Edwards site ?

Oh I hope this gets included into Celestia as standard
along with the space craft orbits crash fix for 132p2


Great work Kendrix

jestr great work on the noons web site I saw it for the first time today, due to the bandwith problems. I couldn't believe how many you had done. My questions are 1: are any of these moons models locked to the JPG texture, as some of your previous models where. (can i convert the texture to DDS and...

The problem is I havent seen the original textures for Celestia for a long time. as soon as a large high quality texture is available, that becomes my delault texture, and in the bin goes the old one But im not asking this for myself as my skills as a texture creator, are virtually zero but as i sai...

Hello Grant On the textures forum i see lots of textures by different people and most of the time they seem to be rotated diferently from one another. there ssem to be lots of different Jupiter textures and venus textures and hardly any match up. So I thought, been as you seem to know more about thi...

A DDS file is a graphics file just like any other BMP, JPG,..... except it can't be viewed by most graphice editors or viewers. DDS is nvidias own compressions format. Its also the best format to use with Celestia 90 percent of all my textures are DDS, large or small. it has somthing to do with the ...

Just to complete things. :?: ma...

there does seem to be a problem with the model from the cone nebula
all the files extract fine except the 3ds model
that extracts to only 1kb and does not load.

could you look into this Mind
Please

Thank you for the info Grant, i have changed to match.

Also Jestr did you ever remake your mimas model to except any texture,
I know you did this with others, but not sure about your mimas model.
At the momen i have had to hex edit your mimas model to except a dds texture.

A very nice lookin site with some quality content too. nice work Mind 8) For anyone having trouble extracting the split files just remove the zip extention from the end of the second and/or third files so the files look like this File1.zip file2.z01 file3.zo2 then just run and extract the first zip ...

These models and textures are fantastic
I also have all your others too.

Keep em coming, more more.

Yes i'd like to know also, do we need to alter the ssc info in any way for these

Good news! It is my install of Windows XP that is causing the problem. The hardware all works fine. Actually the card flies. I was able to throw several large textures at it and use 8x anti-aliasing and still use Celestia ok. Although using the 8x setting does slow the frame-rate down some. So as s...

Thank you Tony I have only just got this scope, but hopfully ive got a long time to see things and get used to using it. Jupiter and Saturn are the ones i really want to view and your discription is very encouraging. BUT: Mt garden is 10 foot by 15 foot buildings bot sides of me, and behind my garde...

Thanks John

Is it me or have you done some work on the terminator recently too
seems to look a lot better, and load a lot smoother in fullscreen too.

also a lot of updated asteroid models too
great stuff
