Celestia Forums

With the newest version for some stange reason I have
duplicate Pluto and duplicate Charon. They look like
siamese dumbells - weird. I can't figure out where the duplication
is coming from. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks - Vic

BTW, All pictures are with the new 16k Earth texture, the Earth VT specmap, my 8k normalmap, new 8k cloudmap, and 8k cloudshadowmap... I've lost track which texture is which at this point. When you say "new" 16k Earth texture, which one are you referring to (link?) Along with specmap, normalmap and ...

I know the earth's atmosphere filters some, but is there really a
greenish tint looking at it from space?

COMMUNITY - DO NOT PASS GO - DO NOT COLLECT $200. JUST CLICK FOR
A SIMPLE DOWNLOAD - JUMP TO A FRENCH WEB PAGE - THEN BACK TO
THE DOWNLOAD PAGE - NO WAY OUT - THE ENDLESS LOOP. SOMEONE'S

I CAN'T BELIEVE I STILL CAN'T DOWNLOAD YOUR NEBULA FILES! I CLICK
ON THE LINK, IT COMES UP WITH A FRENCH PAGE, THEN A FEW SECONDS
LATER JUMPS BACK TO YOUR DOWNLOAD PAGE - THE SAME BS FOR
MONTHS. DOES ANYBODY ON GODS GREEN EARTH HAVE AN EXPLANATION
FOR THIS???????????????

Excuse me for getting a little testy, but if you can't have these files
universally downloadable to all, you shouldn't continue promoting
these files if you can't actually make them available for download.

Vic

As always, you click on download on your page and the following page comes up: http://www.multimania.lycos.fr/error/referer.phtml?_siteRedirect=http://membres.lycos.fr/tompouce00&_siteRedirectFile=http://membres.lycos.fr/tompouce00/download/NGC7293.zip A page in French, as you see, and then afte...

The link still doesn't work.

I get a page in French, then it goes back to your download
page - in an endless loop.

Vic

Your link doesn't work.

I got it - for some reason, I didn't end up with the dsc/stc files in the Extras folder. It looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After waiting all thgis time to see some gaseous color in the universe in Celestia - I WANT MORE! Is anyone going to come out with 100 of these - or maybe 1000. I'm not expert in ast...

Also - I also don't get - I've tried "NGC2244" or "NGC2237" and
even "HIP500000" (after hitting enter) so I can go to these
supposed nebulae, and it doesn't come up? I really must be
missing something here.

Celestia - the best computer software - of any kind - on Earth! I don't get it. I downloaded your files, and the programs, and I can't come up with any colored nebulas or anything within Celestia. Is there a step by step instruction for making this happen in Celestia. I've only been asking for color...

sometimes the ssc issued with the program has some changes that are mandatory for orbits and others things to look more correct. you can just copy over your old one, but you may miss out on some fixes that you don't know about or wernt publically released into the forum That's not what I mean. I ha...

Celestia - the best software of any kind on the planet. Chris - Question - Can I keep the solarsys.ssc file from earlier versions so I don't have to re-write changes once again? i.e. does 1.3.0 pre 2 or 3 solarsys.ssc file work fine in pre 4 - and will it work for final version? How come you're not ...

Rassilon - could you answer my un-answered question - how are
you getting (blue) color in that pic you displayed.

Thanks - Vic

I try to keep up with the forum religiously, but maybe I
missed something - is there supposed to be galaxy or
nebula color appearing in the latest version? I don't see
any now.

You said you would step thru those modes - but where is it?

Thanks for reply - I have 1.4

Chris -

I can't figure out what version of the NVIDA GeForce4 driver I'm using -
though I think it's the 40.72 drivers. I went through all the desktop settings
properties app and didn't see it anywhere?

Vic

That would be ideal!

While you're at it, put -w or something like that to
denote Celestia starting up in the current desktop
resolution. If you like.

Vic

I'm not sure what's (visually) better - your SpaceGraphics 8k jpg or
the 8k dds I've been using?
