Scripts in Celestia

Does anyone know where I can find a list with all commands and parameters to create scripts in Celestia?

I know there is a file called scripting.html, but I think it only contains the basic commands, am I right?

Thanks for all.

You can always just do it manually i think.
That's how I mod for Star trek Armada 2.
Try playing around with the scripts a little sometimes it works better than reading tutorials or having someone explain everything to you.

1) See http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/celestia_notes.html#4.0 for a list of most of the .CEL scripting commands, somewhat cryptically organized.

2) Starting with Celestia v1.3.1 prerelease 3, the Lua programming language is available for use in .CELX scripts. See http://www.lua.org/. A few example Lua scripts for Celestia are available on SourceForge at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/celestia/celestia/scripts/

Thanks Selden

I think the URL you sent will be very useful.

As brazilian I'm very happy to see the LUA is developed by brazilians and was chose by Chris to improve Celestia. :D

It's fortunate that 'Lua' means Moon in Galician (and Brazilian portuguese too, I think) :wink:

Perhaps Chris choosed Lua for that reason among others...

Mmm, I just saw the same note at the end of the about Lua text, so this is not new to all of you. :oops:
