A copy of Celestia-1.6.1-ED without additional addons and scripts (virtual textures, spacecraft, etc.)

Hello, does anyone have a copy of Celestia-1.6.1-ED, but without additional addons and scripts? I'm looking for it because it has a better sound feature than Celestia 1.7.0's sound feature, which is basically broken for me.

I could send you a copy with the extra stuff removed if you want.

Just to note, the current builds of Celestia 1.7.0 do not have sound, although it will probably be re-implemented eventually.

Thanks, but what is the file size limit in this fourm? I think there is a file size limit here. If you can upload it to some file-sharing website, I'll appreciate it.

I don't actually know; I should...

Hmm, it's actually still kinda big (838 MB), should I see if I can cut the size down more?

Ok, what file is causing the filesize to be 838 MB?

Seems to be an Earth clouds VT which is in the main textures directory for some reason. If I remove it, you'll need to edit solarsys.ssc for Earth to have clouds. (I didn't remove the sound files so they may contribute as well.)

Edit: actually for Celestia-ED it's "solarsys-educational.ssc"

That's okay. I will replace the current .ssc files with Celestia's original .ssc files.

The forum went down for a few minutes; here is the link to the 838 MB file, I'm currently uploading a version without the Earth clouds VT or sound files which is 331 MB.

Thanks. It's ok about the file size, I have a ~8 gb flash drive that I download to.

Added after 1 minute 21 seconds:
Anyway, where will the size-reduced version of the file be at?
