Thanks!

I am having issues with the celestia:settextcolor(r, g, b) function. Celestia returns this error when I run my script: Attempt to call method 'settextcolor' (a nil value). The same happens with gettextcolor. Help! This is the end of the script: --starcount = celestia:getstarcount() celestia:settextc...

Thanks! I just realized I had simply forgotten to close my bracket in the ssc file.

Thanks & wow! How did you put them on the H-R diagram?

How can I make a planet orbit a stellar barycenter (DP Leo to be more specific)? Please help!

Could someone please tell me how many stars hosting exoplanets there are in Celestia by default?

Ok, merci!!!

Thanks! I've made some progress; here's my new script: -- Title: Mark exoplanet-host stars -- Listed in alphabetical order. The list is located at: http://www.planetary.org/exoplanets/list.php celestia:unmarkall() celestia:setrenderflags{markers = true} celestia:select(nil) -- Stars with planets dis...

Sorry... You're right, Thanks :)! I think that the arguments are : 1) Color of the marker 2) Shape of the marker 3) Size of the marker 4) Number:? However, when I run my script, it returns a fatal error: In line 6: Argument to find must be a string. Here is my celx: -- Title: Mark exoplanet-host sta...

This still doesn't answer wether or not there are any arguments to the mark function (there doesn't seem to be any on your link).

Well, since I'm doing this for an important project, I would prefer going through the stars one by one to make sure they're all included (as they're not all in Celestia currently). Also, I looked at the mark-lg celx included in Celestia and I thought I saw some parameters to the mark function ("...

Well, I want to display the location of ~400 exoplanet-host stars (as dots or actual stars with planets, preferring the latter option) around Earth's location in 3D.

.

I'm sorry, I realized I need to make some kind of plot of these objects, and not a script. I want to do something like "Galactic Redshift Survey" or "SIRAS PSCz Galaxies" on the motherlode. I haven't found any help on plotting though. Where can I get some?

I want to create a script that displays the locations of exoplanet-host stars, but I never wrote any script in Celestia.

Ok, that's my graphic card info from Celestia:
Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc.

Renderer: Radeon X1600/X1650 Series

Version: 2.1.7769 Release

GLSL version: 1.20

Max simultaneous textures: 8

Max texture size: 4096

Max cube map size: 4096

Point size range: 1.000000 - 63.000000

I'm running XP, but I don't know what's my graphic card...

Well, for me it has started behaving this way since the first 160 release candidate that I installed (RC3).

When I try to move around an object with the right mouse button, I usually end up having the cursor behind the Celestia window, and then when I click, it usually freezes the Celestia... Sometimes even a left click in the 3D window of Celestia freezes it completely. This is VERY annoying. Could someo...

Thanks.
