Celestia Forums

I am developing a kind of script generator for Celestia. For the moment I have generated script to travel randomly from planet to planet with visiting each moon and taking a look from moon at planet. Because of lack of the execution flow commands in current Celestia the generator produces a number of continious command blocks.
The generator is web based and I hope to make it customizable (define planets what to visit, number of times, delays, etc.) and available for public use. After the planet visiting script I will go on with other kinds.
Here is a link to the generated script - you can travel long enough when started this script. I use it when I listen music.

Very good project. We need such a generator.
Go on Slashi !

btw, I cannot belive that nobody else replies to
this impotant topic.

Well, in this forum remember that a lack of reponse doesn't mean a lack of interest - not by a long shot. Keep up the good work - this will be a great feature...

Slashi, in my opinion it's a very good idea.
I hope that you'll be able to make the script generator "customizable", and this should be even more interesting, mainly for people that, like me, is using profitably Celestia for children training in Astronomy.
Thank you and go on, please.

sounds really useful, cant wait to have a play with it.

Thanks all for positive feedback. I have added some customization options for this script http://consul.com.ua/celestia/. More to come. Enjoy!
However I cannot understand a bug in the generated script. First object is selected but the distance is huge. Next objects processed OK.
Please give me ideas what other script types would be nice to generate.

slashi,

FANTASTIC! This is great! I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Keep up the good work.

Thank you slashi, this is very cool

Does anyone have any music recommendations for playing when in Celestia?

I imagine something ambient would be great with these scripts...

Bruckner's site http://bruckner.homelinux.net/addons.html has a celestia-sounds.mp3 a little way down the page, with ambient noise.

Slashi, any new about your "Script Generator"?
have you solved the problem of the diustance of the first object?
Thanks

Well, you wanted some suggestions here goes one... It would be even more fun if your generator kicked out a script that went to other stars with planets on a random basis. That would be very exciting. In fact, I spent the last 3 hours modifying one of your scripts by manually putting my add on data and after several attempts it works great. One thing that held me up was I tried to put comet data info but it didn't like that. I would be happy to upload my script for anyone who wanted to start in SOL, visit the plannets and moons, then proceed to Muphrid to explore those beauties. I am not sure where to upload this script though. Also, I thought a cool idea for your generator, since everyone's add on data may not be the same, would be to read all the necessary directories (extras, textures, ect.) to gather all the info and generate custom scripts for every user. What do you think?
