I just started to use Celestia and therefore have little experience with this rather mighty program.
It seemed a good idea to me installing "lua_edu_tools 1.1" to help me get into the handling of Celestia.
Unfortunately I can't get it to work.
I followed the installation-instructions carefully, but it won't show up.
Here's where I put the things of the zip-file:
The folder 'lua_edu_tools' is copied into/under "C:\Programme\CelestiaPortable\App\Celestia\extras"
The file 'luahookinit.lua' is moved to "C:\Programme\CelestiaPortable\App\Celestia"
My 'celestia.cfg' looks like:
Code: Select all

Maybe I overlooked something stupid?
In the forum I found a hint to look at the "console-output" with ~:
It seems, that the tool is loaded but something is wrong so that it can't show up?
I tried this with the installed and the portable version of Celestia 1.5.1 but no success.
I tried some other add-ons (Star Wars, etc.) and got them to function (well after some tries...).
Maybe someone has a little hint for me.
Thank you in advance and greetings from Germany
