downloading question for later versions of celestia

Post #1by guest » 14.06.2003, 16:26

I just downloaded Celestia 1.31 The one thing that is great
about celestia is that you can put many add-ons. It makes my
Celestia unique to me. When i download 1.31 it's the bare bones.
I have to put all those add -ons again. I am not complaining but
would it be possible to download only a patch so that the add-ons
stay with the new version. If I am out of line I'm sorry. :oops:

Simple...just make sure you back up any edited ssc, stc, dsc files so you can replace them over your new install... I didn't do this when I upgraded and it took me some time to get back, some I've lost forever!

If you haven't alreeady, you might take a look at the Web page http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/addon-intro.html

It describes one possible way to organize your addons so that they're easy to move from one version of Celestia to the next.
