What happened to the last few weeks of posts?

It seems to me that a wholle bunch of posts have dissapeared. I was following one about a guy who was tieing Celestia to some kind of real-time satalite tracking system over udp or tcp. He was adding classes for spacecraft that could have their positions and orientations programatticaly altered in r...

How to render a Nebula model opaque (turn transparancy off)

I have been playing around with the *.dsc and *.ssc files, trying to understand how to use .3ds models in Celestia. I am at a very basic level of understanding, and have looked at the code quite a bit to see how it works. It is quite confusing at first. I altered the "Mesh" line in a couple .dsc (Ne...

I downloaded Celestia v1.4.1 source and inserted the code for loadlib and some supporting calls into celx.cpp, recompiled and I got my luaCLIPS dll running CLIPS code in Celestia!

Thanks for all he help, I really appreciate it!

How can I get the Lua loadlib() function installed ?

I wanted to use the CELEX Lua scripting interface to load a dll called LuaCLIPS. With this dll, I hope to include some AI into the scripts I make for Celestia. However, when I call the loadlib() function in a CELEX script in Celestia, I get the following error: Fatal Error: Attempt to call global "l...

Here is the post about needing to add the loadlib function..

I havn't tried it yet but lua also has the ability to use dll's, I'm not sure if it needs the os library however. Perhaps there is already a security hole? You are thinking of "loadlib", right? This would be a problem if it was actually there, but it isn't. It looks like you have to specifially add...

Thanks for the info.

Ok, well that explains not being able to compil. I have a backup of the earlier version of source from about a year ago. I could start working with that I suppose. I still have the main problem I was trying to overcome of not being able to get the Lua function loadlib() to work in celestia. Ive seen...

Trouble compiling Celestia, and how to add Lua function

I'm having trouble compiling Celestia. I am running WinXP with Microsoft Visual Studio 2003. I have downloaded the Celestia source in the past and been able to compile and run it, but when I recently updated the source from sourceforge, I lost the ability to compile without errors. It wasn't complet...

Re: Controlling the x,y,z coords of any object programmatically

I'm not talking about using a script to control an objects position. I want to use c++ function calls from within Celestia itself so tthat I can write an AI routine that would be called at each Celestia tick that would set the new position of the object. I already found a call named "setPosition(x,y...

Controlling the x,y,z coords of any object programmatically

Hi, I'm new to Celestia and would like to make a modification. I would like to be able to take control of an object (of course it's a spaceship!!) currently in the database and be able to load my own x,y,z coords in for each tick of the simulation. I suppose I would have to somehow delete, modify or...
