Celestia Forums

Hi refsteff, Thanks for your precious help on debugging the localization code. I've added i18n support to the qt4 version of Celestia, but since I'm on windows exclusively, I can't track the linux bugs. I've been personnaly building the ui.h files using the qt integrated ui compiler: uic -tr _ addbo...

Hi Philippe, Please check out the following points : 1- Is the 'locale' directory present in your celestia 1.6.1 installation ? 2- Does it contain the following files : res_fr.dll, fr/LC_MESSAGES/celestia.mo 3- Try to manually set lang to French : - Copy/paste the following code in a text editor - S...

There seem to be more and more forum members compiling the Qt4 version of Celestia. Moreover, the level of feedback from the devs list is currently very low. So, I think, like Andrew, that it might be a good idea to provide some patches for testing here. So here we go with a first one which adds an ...

Chris,

I've never noticed this flashing issue when using the Lua tools.
Could you please provide a script example that makes it happen ?

Steve, As I wrote in the devs list, I couldn't reproduce the bug you've described on either my desktop (XP Pro SP3 32bits, NVidia GeForce 8600GT) or my laptop (XP Pro SP3 32bits, NVidia GeForce 9200m GS). I compile Celestia-qt4 with: - MSVC++ 2008 Express Edition - Qt4.7.2 (just upgraded from 4.6.2 ...

Finally, indeed the user-define values can be placed inside the config.lua for either the LUATOOLS or the LUAPLUGINS, but this assessment should be matter and must have the permission of Vincent, since he is the "boss" here. Massimo, I haven't tested your code yet, but it's good to read t...

I get the same error on Win XP 32 bits with Qt4.6.2 and qmaking celestia.pro.

No. A bacterial sore throat, just followed by a viral gastric flu.
It definitely wasn't my week !

Hi Vincent, you may have read already in our CM thread that I had no problems running your lua_edu_tools 1.2beta8 under OpenSuSE 11.2 Linux with Celestia-gnome.SVN (r. 5136). Hence this is evidence for NO Linux specific PATH problem. I suspect however that you did essentially NO systematic testing ...

Hi, Sorry for not answering earlier, but I've been running a 39°C temperature for quite a few days. Unlike summer which had only lasted a couple of weeks here in France, we've been facing quite a rude winter for more than 4 months, with all its nice viruses. And it looks like it's not finished yet. ...

This is fixed now both in the 1.6.1 branch and in the trunk.

Hi Jo?l,

I too think that your celx maker is a great tool.
Thanks to you, nobody can complain anymore about celx scripting being too difficult...

Hi Jo?l, Strings get indeed translated in scripting messages. I had to remove the extra blank space after "Earth" to reproduce this, though. That means that all strings like "Earth" or "Real time" which belong to the translation list will get translated if they're passe...

Jan, You're welcome. JFYI, You can bring up the debug console by pressing the tilde '~' key, and then scroll it with the up and down arrow keys. On my French keyboard, I have to press the spacebar just after the tilde key, though. As to the the wait() function, it doesn't exist in Lua and has been a...

Return value phase:timespan function: The phase:timespan function (line 29) does not return a datatype 'number' as specified in the documentation but a datatype 'nil'. Uncommenting line 31 and running the script will show this. Any attempt to use it in a lua function - like in line 32 - causes an e...

This is a kind of tutorial on how to build a txf font but not a definitive solution. ? propos... What is the original font used to generate the Celestia's korean font? :?: Who knows? Chris? Vincent? an idea for an effective solution? :?: Hi Jo?l, The Korean font texture was provided by our Korean t...

... And the following one displays the mouse cursor postion on screen. -- Display mouse cursor position on screen local xpos, ypos; local beginScreenDraw = function() gl.MatrixMode(gl.PROJECTION); gl.PushMatrix(); gl.LoadIdentity(); sx,sy = celestia:getscreendimension(); gl.Ortho(0, sx, 0, sy, 0, 1)...

Roy, The lua script below can be considered as the simpliest way to display an image within celestia so far. It doesn't require any lua plugin. It can be used with Celestia version 5.1 or higher. -- Display an image using the Lua Hook process local beginScreenDraw = function() gl.MatrixMode(gl.PROJE...

Marco, This bug appeared while the Celestia code was Eigenized. Thanks for reporting it. The gotoSelectionLongLat method now requires distance to be in kilometers. Commenting out line 363 in celx_observer.cpp, as below, should fixed it. static int observer_gotolonglat(lua_State* l) { CelxLua celx(l)...

Marco, Jo?l,

Thanks for reporting this bug.
I just fixed it in the v1.6.1 branch.
