This is probably again a question for Seldon

Okay i have finished building my star system and now i want to add some information to the planets, like gravity, population and such things. Like the information u can get on earth and the other planets, with the different levels (full, medium) you can choose in the options dialog ("View Information" point, i think).
Where do i have to put that information in and in what format? The ssc-file, an extra text-file or a html-file??

Regards,

Matlaf

Celestia does not (yet?) support the inclusion of user-provided information in the data fields of the heads-up display.

However, there are three different types of workarounds, with different advantages and disadvantages.

1. use an InfoURL declaration in the SSC definition. This references a Web page that's available from the right-mouse-button popup menu. The page could be included in the Addon, but the user might have to edit the file specification.

2. run a .CEL or .CELX script that displays the info using "print" commands

3. use Maxim's "Info Extension Plugin".
