Celestia Forums

Hello all,

I have looked a bit at Celestia internals, but I can't find anything related to installing Celestia extensions on shared computers.

In a time honored fashion, on unices users would install their user data, in this case celestia extensions, in their home directories, ie. in ~/.celestia... As far as I've looked this isn't the case with celestia, that is, textures should be put into system wide directory, and there is no ~/.celestia/?

I've seen .celestiarc / gconf saving of settings, but nothing about searching extensions and aditional files...

The same with Mac OS X and Windows versions... Is it possible to put this files into user personal folder / per user?

Thanks for replies,
RavenLore

Hi John,

I'm interested in automatic searching of override files usually found in /usr/share/celestia/* textures, scripts and such...

ie. LoadFile() -> look in user directory -> on fail look in system directory...

As for your problem, you don't have it since you're single user with admin access on your computer. If you're not ask an admin to use mount --bind to map a directory on another partition...

Thanks for reply,
