Celestia Forums

but many Alphabet like characters all across the screen. I don't know how to upload the image. Please guide me what to do. Hi UVJ and welcome to the forum, I had a similar(?) problem with my lowly video/OpenGL and found that if I deleted "Realistic_Milky_Way.ssc" from extras> Lua Edu Tool...

Ohh I like it ! Thank you, I didnt know we could do that in Celestia.
I will have to have a play

Wikipedia : It is a contact binary 31 km (19 mi) long, composed of two joined bodies 19 km (12 mi) and 14 km (9 mi) across that are nicknamed "Ultima" and "Thule", respectively. " We I have our my name conventions reversed " ! :biggrin: thank you,nice find, I didnt thi...

Ok, I will help you with models and textures: thank you, very nice. We have our name conventions reversed ! your Thule is very like my UltimaA that I posted above, except that I have mine flipped horizontally ! Yours is a good fit and displays the two 'pimples' on the little end very well. I will r...

Thanks @SpaceFanatic64 & @gironde,

That is interesting, I didnt know it.
But I even have errors reported there on a fresh clean install of basic 1.6.1 . For example on gstar.jpg flare.jpg and logo.png

Is there a way of sending this error log to a text file ?

Unfortunately, all I can say is that it works fine for me. This makes me suspect that your problem is that the surface texture image files aren't in the correct location, so Celestia is unable find them. Surface texture files which are specified inside Celestia's 3D meshes must be in the folder Ah!...

upload any models you made using Anim8or? We might be able to glean some information from those. That is a good idea @LukeCEL fingers xxed Ive not uploaded zips before. Included is Test1_ etc comprising a callisto.jpg and amalthea.jpg textured twin sphere, both textures from lores basic 1.6.1, and ...

Help, total beginner ! I cant get my textures to work in it :( I can texture my model with textures from 1.6.1 like amalthea.jpg and callisto.jpg but as soon as I try to modify those with some bits from the new image from New Horizons it all goes wrong and I just get un-textured white blobs. UTmark1...

I feel all of your pain. I been trying to get win 7 going as a virtual machine with VirtualBox. It was me against Microsoft and Oracle. :smile: good luck ! One of these days I must get back to playing with Linux. With a bit of luck my pain will diminish a bit, I have just acquired a little tablet (...

I do not know what you mean.
I am not torrenting.

Sorry, misunderstanding, my fault I was not clear, I am now running two 'streams' one via torrent (from various peers) and the other from you.

left a torrent running for 3 years and forgot about it Yes, I have a few of those in suspenders ! This is the problem, he left it running - - but no one else did ! [OT] Well actually there are at least two problems, (1) it has a bad reputation for being the tool of neer'do'wells circumventing copyr...

Thank you kind Sir but will my rural BritishTelecom survive, that is the question

I like the theory of torrent (50% complete no peers!) but sadly it lacks real-life presence so ,,,,
,,, @Janus here we go , , ,

The torrent was earlier showing 3 peers (two in Russia and one in Spain) with 100% files, download was proceeding apace :) but sadly some have fallen by the wayside and there is now only one in Russia so I hope (s)he does not go to bed lol! :) The forum is showing 50 'guests' (earlier 65), if all of...

It appears your chipsets only support OpenGL 1.4 & 1.1 Desktop: Version: 1.4.0 - Build 8.14.10.1930 Laptop: Version: 2.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.2302 GLSL version: 1.20 - Intel Build 8.15.10.2302 Thanks @Janus, I am well confused now ! Does my Laptop have OGL 2.1.0 or 1.20 ? ! Either way, the celesti...

an OpenGL incompatibility. does Celestia v1.6.1 work OK? Good call Selden, thanks. Yes 1.6.1 was working normally but 1.7.0(portable) (as suggested by @Janus) was non-working, as reported above, on my desktop with this OpenGL Info :- Vendor: Intel Renderer: Intel Bear Lake B Version: 1.4.0 - Build ...

Thanks @Janus I can see your Render dropdown ! yea ! but sadly not much else :( EDIT later : I think I should be doing this in "Help Central" ! Mods please move so as not to clutter the Development topic ! I had previously downloaded @onetwothree 's QT but, on click the exe there is a paus...

Brill.! Nice find, thanks Selden.

[OT] Now I will be able in my retirement, to demo the spacecraft that I helped fly, to my offspring (and prob. bore them to tears ! lol! ) [/OT]

Try the download in #65 instead. download/file.php?id=4703&filename=Celestia_5344_ViewOptionCheck.7z It is a VS2015 fully static linked version in x86 & x64 both. However, it does require W7 or later. No, I needed the whole 1.7.0 thing first, hence trying your link in #55 which gave me the ...
