Thanks for that it works now

David

I've recently installed 1.5.0 and none of the new features seem to work. the atmosphere and moon shading is the old code and it all looks like 1.4.1, Whats wrong David Windows XP Home Version 2002 SP2 Intel (R) 3.06 GHz 1GB Ram Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Renderer: GeForce FX 5700/AGP/SSE2 Version: 2...

ive just got a new computer and i can now use bumps normals specs etc but i also want them as a VT . ive been making some 8k VTs of earth and moon and the earth and clouds work but bumpmaps dont i have put them in the hires folder as earth.ctx earth-clouds.ctx and earthbump.ctx and have the folders ...

When will movie making and image capture be implemented into the mac version of celesia

My Graphics card des not support dds and the vast majority of virtual textures are dds how can i convert them to jpg . i have photoshop 8.0 and photo studio. but it cant open dds is there a plugin for either of these programs or can VT creators make jpg versions of there addons Thanks david

I am interested in the atmosphere as the default is a boring and unrealistic thin line around the star. But rthorvalds is really thick and looks a lot better. I thought that somewhere there must be a file that determines a stars appearance, like the solarsys.ssc determines how the planets look like ...

volcom9155 If its a Deep Space Objects (extrasolar) addon like a nebula for instance then just unzip it in the "extras" folder which is "CelestiaResources" folder. It is advisable to create a folder called "Addons" or whatever you like so you can move them out of the way if you are updating to a lat...

the default atmosphere for a star is a bit unreal, so how do change it so it looks like rthorvalds sun addon. like you can change the texture used (astar.jpg)

David

I've downloaded rthorvalds sun addon and it gave me the idea of animating Io's volcanos. I thought of creating an earth style volcano shaped donught and wrapping a texture around it so that it comes up though the centre, down the sides, underneath towards the centre and up the middle again. Would th...

I would like to say that t00fri has done a brilliant job on that texture.

but, i was thinking until we get more data could someone make an imaginary version based on current data and fill the gaps so it looks nice and complete, like that artists impression of sedna.

I forgot to mention that the planet that is not illuminated is earth and our solar system i have seen it work on other computers but not mine. Ive took a picture of europe (as it has the most light) with no cloud maps and half lit and half dark and it is not visible on the night side i would post it...

Ive just uploaded a much smaller version 2.4MB on the motherload. I have done it for those who have poor machines and/or a bad internet connection in the lores folder the images are 1/2 k which my computer can handle and in the medres folder they are 1k if your computer can handle more than that the...

My nightmaps work but at the wrong time as they only appear on the day side of the planet, the night side is just black. is there any way around it?

thanks in advance

David

The default time it takes to go somewhere is 4 seconds, how do i change so it takes 6 or 8 seconds and also loading the texture before i start moving instead of just before i get to it.

thanks in advance

David

Every time I restart Celestia the preferences are reset to the default minimum and there is no way to save the e.g. low resolution graphics when i want high res

Is the any way to resolve this

Thanks In Advance

David

I like most of the planets, but venus is hell, literally. If anybody lives in England they'd probably seenspace oddessy on BBC 1 which is a futuristic documenty drama thing which shows a group of astronoughts travel to every planet except Mercury and does a scientifically correct representation of t...

tf00i i don't understand the equation because I'm not to good at Math's but i know that at every fold the thickness doubles so at the 8th fold it is 128 times thicker than when you started then 256, 512 etc I do know what the saying is trying to say, I was being silly. I think it's saying that it is...

Yes You Can!!!!

With a large enough piece of paper A2 or A3 and is very thin then you can

your little saying does not mention size or weight

Ha Ha

if you don't mind thanks, is the Graphite DV SE 700MHz CPU and 60Gb hard drive? Mines a minimum spec 20Gb

Don't use the extended star database as it takes about two minutes to load

Thanks

David

Selden Did you see the shadows before you upgraded to 10.3.6? No I didn't see ring shadows before I upgraded to 3.6 or on Celestia 1.3.1 or 1.3.2-1. I would probably update my graphics card but my computer is a fixed unit (i cannot be opened or updated. I would have to buy a new computer. thanks David
