Thanks for your help Bob. I have found a solution: - conversion of 3ds model in cmod model thanks to the tool "3ds2cmodv3-2" - I noticed some opacity parameters set to 0 instead of 1 in the cmod file (not seen in 3ds software?) => CORRECTED - I modify some pieces with Blender (seen in soli...

Would it be possible that someone tests my 3ds model to know if it is due to an hardware limitation or a problem with the 3ds conversion into celestia?
Do you know some interesting 3D freeware to use?

Hello, I have a problem to display a 3DS model in Celestia. model.jpg I create a 3DS model with textures (Freeware Blender) taken from images and I try to visualize the model in Celestia. I only have a part of the satellite appearing on screen... My model has 3 textures (blue for solar arrays, gold ...

But IMO the best solution is that you add your voice to our ones, asking as we are doing for Vincent's patch (sound and images using cel scripts) merging in Celestia 1.6. :twisted: My little cent. Bye Andrea :D I agree with you... I vote for an integration of this functionality in Celestia 1.6 ! It...

If I understand well, the patch "celestia_win32_1.4.1_patch3" allows to display a fixed image thanks to the cel function overlay. That's exactly what I need !! But this *.cel script doesn't work with celestia 1.5.1 (svn 1.6.0), right? Is it possible to simply define or add an overlay funct...

I have found nothing on ML... I just need to know how to execute from scripts some functions: - to display an image loaded as a texture - to remove all text info I am going to contact Vincent to get his experience on CELX scripts and Lua Edu tools. if anyone is able to help me... do not hesitate. Da...

I would like to add a fixed image on the 3D simulation (a logo or a picture). You are watching the earth rotating and in the left corner of celestia window, there is a fixed small image. Then, I would like to remove all text info on celestia screen and just add some particular information from celx ...

Hello, I would like to add a fixed image (logo or picture) in the main screen of celestia. I do not know how to do it. Would it be possible to have some help on this subject? Then I would like to know how to remove the default text info in celestia screen from CELX script? and inversely how to add s...

Ok I understand but I do not know how to proceed...
Would it be possible to have a simple explanation?

Thanks.

Thanks for your answer. It works perfectly now. I have another question. I know (thanks to previous messages) how to display the sun direction, the body frame,... but I do not know how to display an arrow representing for instance the earth magnetic field direction or total angular momentum... it's ...

[/quote] It sounds like the problem is with your definition for GB2 in the ssc file. Could you cut and paste that into a forum post? --Chris[/quote] Do you mean in a new post or in this one? Otherwise, the gb2.ssc file is already pasted in the previous message. I paste it again hereafter. ----------...

I have enabled the error message and I notice the following errors before running my celx script: Loaded 10937 deep space objects Error in the file .ssc (line 92): object 'TYC 3466-0819-1' .. not found Error in the file .ssc (line 92): bad alternative surface ... Body frame for GB2 is needed too dee...

OK ! So, I think I have a problem with the install of the SVN build of version 1.6.0. I have downloaded the r4407 (from Cartrite's website) and I do the followings steps: - copy the r4407_celestia.exe in the Celestia directory. - run the r4407_celestia.exe - run my script (draw a satellite in orbit ...

Ok ! sorry for this last question... It's obvious. I have found two executables WIN32 on the website of Cartrite and Phoenix. I have just to replace the celestia.exe file and it should work. Do you know if a lot of things are changing with this version? - deprecated functions? - CELX commands differ...

Thanks Chris and Vincent. I have just a last question for you Chris... I am not sure to understand what you mean. If I am using a version 1.5.0 (for example), I cannot use the reference marks functions. Right? So, you explain that I need a SVN build of version 1.6.0... what is a SVN build of version...

Hello, I would like to add in my CELX script a command allowing to display an arrow from an object pointing the sun or the magnetic field direction or even to display a frame. Do you know the command? Is it possible to call directly the functions defined in the celestia source? RenderSunDirectionArr...
