Is this catalogue compatible with Updated stars.dat including Gaia EDR3 data by ajtribick?

Hi! I want to make a fictional addon, a star system composed by a binary white dwarf (a pair orbiting a common barycenter), and one of the planets should be a quadruple planet (four earth-sized planets orbiting a barycenter) in the habitable zone. I pretend to add another planets in future, but for ...

The exact SSC i'm using: "Planet Nine" "Sol" { Class "planet" Texture "exo-class4.*" NightTexture "exo-class4night.*" Radius 20000 Oblateness 0.017 Atmosphere { Height 130 Lower [ 0.6 0.65 1.0 ] Upper [ 0.5 0.55 0.9 ] Sky [ 0.5 0.7 0.9 ] } Elliptical...

I still have issues with sun while rotating using this build

@Janus

In fact a minor form of this glitch happens in the latest x64 build in BinTray, but only the Sun flicks.

Oh i'm currently using celestia-5441-RaDecDist-Fix.7z from Janus with Celestia 1.7 data, and sometimes when rotating bodies in outer solar system (aka a Planet Nine extra i have) the stars sometime flicks. I got this bug in two machines: a desktop with AMD RX 560 GPU (drivers updated) and a laptop w...

How can i install Janus's forks? Particularly the 100 billion LY limit? Should i get the data .zip from the celestia build repository?

Interesting. I think for it happen a full transition to x64 will be obligatory. And other efficiency changes to data file consuming to load so much data.

THANKS A LOT!

Added after 3 minutes 44 seconds:
Anyway i created a GH issue addressing this (althrough in Wikipedia they also say this star is a G3, dunno what is correct).

Is possible to override the type via an extra, just like we do with any SSC file?

I wonder if one day Celestia would be capable to handling Gaia's full catalog (and other probes cataloging other objects)

Thanks Askaniy!

Thanks for the new build onetwothree! Just one thing i noticed on the updated data files: The dwarf planets added by this commit are duplicated by the entries on asteroids.ssc (Ceres) and outersys.ssc (Haumea, Eris and other TNOs). What is the most accurate and what about merge the changes in the fi...

Notable by: being the non-comet with farthest aphelion known.

Can someone do that one?

can someone make an update windows build in bintray? Thanks!

Hi!

I'm trying to make a fictional earth-sized ice planet, and i want to replicate this atmosphere:



According to this document i need to use Rayleigh paramenter but i'm clueless about how to reproduce that.

Can someone help me?

Yeah but i dont know much to use GIMP...

In fact i just throw a scenario on that subreddit (its all about hypothetical scenarios and the impact on society and science).

Anyway here is my take on this fictional P9. Sadly the textures are bad, i got them on google because i dont have photoshop right now:

Thanks! Will adapt this ssc to this idea. Just need to find a snowball earth-like texture to it.

But is this the original orbit prediction or the new one of the links?
