Celestia Forums

I've added another star to the system, Elementary B. It orbits around Elementary (A) and has the same solar values as Elementary, and the same orbit values as all the planets. However, it is not doing what I made it to do, which is cast light on the unlit side of the elements. Is there any way to g...

Ah, thanks Selden! Right now I've just finished Calcium, so I'll go back and change every albedo value. I've been wondering now if it's possible to have planets have those multiple designations that stars have in Celestia, like if I were to select Sulfur, and its displayed name appears as "Sul...

The star's type is O5I-b, I copied it from a star I found in Celestia that was blue and looked particularly nice. It's luminosity is 201x Sol's luminosity, it's surface temperature is 42,500?K, and it's radius is 1.46x Sol's radius. The first planet's period value is 0.04166666, and, if it matters,...

Hey! I'm back, and much older. And, that add-on I was working on, I kept working on it. Got the textures to display and I've got the electron shells looking pretty good. Though I've figured many things out, I haven't yet figured out why every body in the system has a temperature of -1?K (impossible...

Ok, got everything that I need before I can finish. I just need to look at a previous posting to find out why the heck I'm having problems with getting the textures to appear on the planets again.

Whoops...ok. thanks selden.

Ok, maybe it's some other downloads that are making Celestia not load. Or maybe when I looked at the other .ssc and .stc files for help I accidentaly messed something up... I think that having proportional distances between the energy levels and the nucleii is a good idea. I just need to find out ho...

Is there anything wrong with these codes? :? Because for some reason Celestia won't start up now (either due to these or the fact that the computers at my home are EVIL :evil: ). The first code is almost identical to the code for a star found in the add-on help http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celest...

I guess you could texture the "planets" corresponding to each element according to their native forms - "Gold" would be a gold metallic surface, "Lead" would be a dull grey metallic surface etc. It'd be an interesting educational project I think (especially for you as you're making it, there's lots...

I'm planning on making an addon that represents all the known elements. I don't know if anyone would be interested though, and if no one is interested then I won't send it to the Motherlode. But whether anyone is interested or not, I'd like to know if Celestia will accept a 118 planet solar system w...

I want to use Celestia at my school to help me coach the solar systems team (and using it with the smartboard would be AWESOME!) but I wanted to know if it would be ok to use it at school. I have a feeling it would, but I justed wanted to check to be sure. I've showed the science teacher running the...

I was born on a living starship in an alternate universe. Being a cell from a living starship in an alternate universe is waaaaaaaaaay better than anywhere ya'll were born.

So then T00fri and all the smart people here are aliens? Hmmm...that seems somehow predictable...I mean Spock from Star Trek is smart and he's an alien...wonder what kind of alien I am?

DOH! Now I'll never talk to a robot (as cool as GM's) on a message forum...dang, I knew I'd miss something if I didn't log on every once in awhile... Ok, now that what has excited me has left, I will be back on these forums when I'm not playing my computer game sitting in bed reading my Star Trek Un...

I've looked at that map for who knows how long and I STILL haven't even found my neighborhood amongst everything in my metropolis called Houston (and like all metropolises, surrounds little villages and so-called towns, becoming their only trading partner. Then, when the moment is right, the metropo...

I like cookies more than the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. I would sometimes get jealous at how he could just eat a whole plate of cookies and not get in trouble.

Hey, Hunter...are you going to eat that arm? Cause if you're not then I will...can I have your head as a desert too?

Because the bowl of petunias was a reincarnation of Agra...Agraj...whatever the being is that Arthur Dent keeps unintentionally killing, and when it thinks "Oh no, not again" it knows that it's going to die AGAIN because Arther Dent engaged the Improbability Drive which created the petunia bowl rein...

Whoa...so all of Artificial Deity's posts were made based on Artificial Deity's observations on the postings? (I got tired so I skipped through a bit of the posts) If that's so (and even if it isn't), it makes me feel good knowing that a robot (even a insulting one) posted on a thread I made. I thin...
