Ok the download works for me now. Maybe this was a problem with my default mirror being down or so.

Yes there is some weird behaviour on the sourceforge-download but check out the 12k file you got, its actually not a dmg but the html where you can choose a mirror. Do a little investigation in that and you'll get the right download-link.
So you're not the only one ;)
Uploaders please fix that.

Maybe Chris you need to get yourself a 23" cinema display too to focus more on oSX
No but really: a new version for osx (supporting dds-textures) would be sooo great.

unfortunately they don't work for me
I guess it's this osx-port. Let's hope for the next one. Damn why did I sell my pc with this nice gf3... ahh - I remember why

Yes you are a little wrong ;) As I said I am using a mobillity radeon 7500 in my powerbook. Actually all mobile macs use ati-chips. There was some period where desktop-macs mostly used gf-cards but now they have atis 9000/9700 and before they had the rage chips. Same here as everywhere... I have to ...

I have a PowerBook with a 32 MB Mobility Radeon 7500 - said to be supporting dds-Files. Still I can't seem to get them working :/
Is this a problem with the gpu, osx or am I just too dumb?

I just remembered: Didn't Chris buy a G4 last months? So maybe we can expect a better support for osx in the next versions. Might that be true Chris? Cause it would be really cool. Still I'm stuck with my mobile radeon 7500 which isn't too well supported in celestia but a cocoa-version where I don't...

1280*854 on my PowerBook DVI
Well actually it's a little less cause I can't figure out how to run the 1.2.2 in Osx and fullscreen!? Anybody knows?

btw:
Is there any way to get the latest sources/binaries for the cocoa-version? I'd really like to try it out :)

:( Strange but I can't seem to open venus8k and europa8k. They just stay black. I did put them into the medres folder and changed the solarsys.ssc Funny because I don't have problems watching the 16k-earthmaps and stuff. Maybe the *.jpg format makes problems at this size? If the what should I change...

Just a short message to encourage everybody who's porting Celestia to OSX. Though 1.2.2 works nicely on my ibook600 (having replaced earth with smaller textures of course) I'd love to see a native cocoa-version. Still I know from my own tiny compiling-tries that it's not that easy. I'd love to be he...

the question remains... I also think that vertex shaders seem to have funny effects. Of course viewing the reflection of the sun on the oceans is pretty nice but mars only seems brighter and loosing bump mapping effects. Turning them off seems much better to me there. What are the vertex shaders act...

Well, reinstalling isn't really doing it on OSX since the most famous port is just "installed" via drag&drop. Also there are no Preference-files created which could cause a problem. So the only solution I know is to use different textures. I personally couldn't watch the latest earth-textures so...

I think with our few knowledge it's difficult to work out the 4th dimension. Like you can travel to a star 1000s of ly's away which definitively isn't where you travelled to, eventually doesn't even exist anymore. You are actually travelling in a virtual environment which never existed like this and...

I'm running it on the new imac and get roughly between 5 and 20fps, depending on the environment I'm in, nothing to compare to my GeForce on the PC. Also the 8MB Video-RAM suck a lot. But it's ok to enjoy space in my opinion.

I suppose the orbits of moons and planets are just your guess are they? There are pretty strange formations of how fast and in which angle the planets rotate around themselves and around their planet/sun which I think don't exist in real.
Where did you get the data from?

hey thx chris! Though I already figured out most of the calls, this is definetivly a time-saver. A call to set/clear the showFPS would be nice too since I use this very often to check performance. If you need any help building a html-documentation let me know, I already made my own half-help with th...

ehmmmm...
is there any plain low-resolution-set? I can only see the complete win-version.
Anyway if anybody could give a list of working script-commands I'd appreciate it. So far the OSX-version runs great, but is one helluva workaround compared to the win-one.

Hey there! GREAT WORK! I was experimenting with openuniverse for quite some time and while looking for a new beta, found Celestia. This prog rocks. I'm using it on all three platforms (Win, Linux and OSX). The graphic Quality on my GF2 is just amazing, especially the shadows of craters and stuff. Un...
