Flare addon for other stars?

[Tleilax]

I have the smaller 'Potrait of The Sun' addon by Runar and I'ne been trying to use the flares to put on other stars. I have tried several times and they have all failed. What could I be doing wrong?

I was able to easily add them to HD 28185. Here is how I have the whole thing coded.

You will notice that you must go through and rename everything that says SOL to whatever star name you are trying to use. If you copy most of the above and just change the name HD 28185 to what you want it should work.

Godd luck and let me know how you fair.

SUCCESS!!! I had totaly forgoten that the flares were considered an ssc. file and not an stc. file. Something so simple I have troubled over...LOL.
Thanks for your help.
