Celestia Forums

I just echo Bob's sentiments

Is there any chance that the topics "Celestia pics & videos" can be split away from "Celestia Users" to a seperate forum of their own?

Guillermo,

Just checked with a standard 1.6.0 download with no addons or extras doesn't do this it would appear to me that a sun addon is causing the problem.

Hi Guillermo,
Sorry 4880 was a mistake should have read 4890, further investigation I've found it's a combination of addons together with your svn 4898 and 4903 which are causing the other problems.

Guillermo,

Appreciate your SVN I seem to have a problem when viewing the orbits of the planets and asteroids.
1. Pluto appears as a planet not the dwarf as in 1.6.0
2. Pluto's orbit in svn 4880 is broken and in 4903 is a strange shape, Ive eliminated any extras causing problems.

Hi Bob,
Fenerit hasn't changed anything regarding Helene, it is a minormoon according to the minormoons datafile and therefore would not appear when right clicking on Saturn

Hi Fenerit,

Found problem not your add-on I have another add-on enceladus_plume which confused things.

I'm afraid I also cannot see the plumes on my system.

Hi Cham,

Hi elbertdee,

I copied your script shown the most obivious thing missing are the { } at the start and finish of the script, I guess you may have just left them off as you should have got an error message.
With the brackets the script seems to run OK in the latest SVN4645 version I have

I'm busy sorting out textures I've accumulated by using the hires/medres/lores to sort and decide on which textures to retain, I'm using 1.5.1 final and everything works fine using 'rR' keys I then change the exe file to SVN4432 everything still fine, then I changed to the latest SVN4645 from cartri...

Selden looking at the various planetary ring systems the least developed is Jupiter's, depending on which textures one look's at 2 that I'm aware putting the names to them doesn't really match. Saturn's new names are ok but fitting them so they are viewable is not easy, possible solution would perha...

I've just downloaded both files, there seems to be a problem the HAT and WASP series are missing when typing in in the ENTER-name-ENTER-g. The previous versions show all the series except the one HAT and one WASP for which the update is made. I'm using svn6402 also checked the file contents unable t...

Frank,
An absolutely brilliant piece of work, the music really makes the difference.

I tried it with 1.6 but the error message do not recognise 'play' appeared commenting out then let it run.
Definetly run best with 1.5.1 ed

Hi Gemma, Welcome to Celestia, to help you sort your problem we really need to know more about your laptop and more specifically the graphics side. More often than not problems reside with the graphics driver software and the version used. What laptop do you have. Which version of Vista this can be ...

Hungry is right its like using Paint or similar you bring the back layer to the front remove the black space which should leave stars galaxies etc visible. Using Celestia I'm not sure maybe someone with the software knowle...

Bob,

I've just downloaded 4560 and all my altsurfaces are working OK. Question why would your solarsys.ssc change just because you updated to 4560?

Claus,
I would say you need to check your graphics drivers make sure there the latest from your cards manufacturer.
