Kolano Using this batch file to start Celestia with resolve this issue... Celestia.bat .... set LANGUAGE=en call Celestia.exe Thanks for the tip. I will keep it handy in case I should need it. My Solution: I have no clue as to why this should work but it did. I had already checked my control panel ...

Chris Is anyone seeing this problem when they install 1.5.0pre3 using the self-extracting installer? Or is it only a problem when building from CVS? I am getting question marks all over including most of the context menu. The only objects that display their name correctly are stars, comets, galaxie...

t00fri The formost task is mass rendering of 10000+ galaxies without any human intereference! Whatever you suggested above, how could this possibly be achieved for 10000 galaxies!? I have a question about the above quote. Are you saying there are 10,000 galaxies/nebulas in Celestia? Kel *****

ElChristou What about a quick search in the forums? I give you a hint: deep Thanks for the tip! I thought of every other possibility and kept drawing blanks. I thought someone else had to have had this problem while playing with addons so I checked for doubles, two of and duplicate galaxies and neb...

ElChristou Thanks for the tip!! You know what? one of those M31 is not at the right place and don't have the right size... There is something else that is wrong with that picture of M31 and that is someone took artistic liscense and made it an almost face-on galaxy. Looking through a telescope M31 ...

I added Jestr's M51/NGC5195 to my extras folder and now I have two of each. I would like to know the file/files that load galaxies so I can remove the original png/jpeg files so I have only one of each. I am running v1.4.1.0 and have noticed some errors that I will post in a separate post aimed at p...

Hi starfleetengineer, I can easily duplicate that spurious mark and I'm using v1.4.1.0 and I think I know what it is. I think it is the start mark (sun) projected out. I can easily get it to circle around our solar system either vertically or horizontally by simply pulling my mouse toward me or movi...

Even better would be the sequence of the "Light Echoes From Red Supergiant Star V838 Monocerotis" and include the four Hubble pictures from 2002 and sequence up to the pics from 2005 and 2006. Okay I happen to be fascinated with this special star. NASA even has a short movie of it's developement fro...

selden, Thanks for the reply and especiallly the link. I now know how the program uses and implements wildcards and the definition of a couple of file types that I was not familar with. The link should help me to play around abit in trying to get some of the addons working and the wildcard * will al...

Hi selden, Thanks for the replies and links. I solved the problem with my favorites. It involved not clicking on the Bookmark folder when creating marks and now works fine. Be sure to read the Addon's readme file. You may have to change the texture's name to match what Celestia is looking for. I hav...

selden, Thanks for your reply. I can't figure out why it isn't recognizing my favorites but that is not major. I will try the log display and see what happens. When is version 1.5.0 due to be ready and what does TDB stand for as a replacement for UTC. I wonder ... hmm could it be Terran Data Base .....

I had added about 20 items to my bookmarks in a couple of folders in a previous session and then exited the program. I checked my Celestia folder to make sure they were save. I found my "favorites.cel" file with a size of 14KB and I made a copy of it for security sake. I started up the program sever...
