Unzip Files, But where to put them?

Post #1by CelestiaFan » 07.06.2002, 07:47

I am confused, I am new with this very much so, but I have no clue how to actually work with this. Like if I download some add on - How do I input it inside Celestia... thanks all! :D

Depends on what type of download it is. Generally when you unzip the files they come with Readmes that tell where everything should go but basically :
Textures go in the textures/medres directory of Celestia.
.ssc files (files that define orbits and suchlike) go in the extras directory of Celestia.
3D models go in the models directory of Celestia.
Your download should then appear automatically. You can check its there by using the Solar System browser from the Navigation menu (assuming the thing is in the Solar System somewhere).
