I am very glad I finished it, but don't you worry, I am not finished yet. I am currently working with the 2nd version of this solar system


BoAlv Sgr, which is the abbreviation, is a trinary solar system located 1500 light years towards the center to Milky Way, if you travel toward the center of Milky Way 1500 light years, you will find Boliverius Alvera Sagittarii


This solar system has more than 50 objects to explore. a dwarf-planet belt, an asteroid belt, 5 planets and 4 comets

2 planets is evolving, Vulcania and Amphitrite, very young planets, it is 2 gas giants, and a planet that is under environmental collapse, it was an Earth-like planet before

Terrestrial planets: Vulcania, Amphitrite and Dyaus Pita
Gas giants: Polyphana and Vertilu

you should be getting a email on that soon

I got the message yesterday from Ulrich


One thing I don't get, is the dwarfplanet ssc error
These files are working

--- edit ---

That one is meant to be like that, because it is two dwarfplanet's who is going to collide some time

the dwarfplanet's 2011 GH13 and 2011 GH14.

The first is set it is ending in year 2000, because that is when these two are near eachother, and it makes effect on the orbit to
2011 GH13

Is it some other solutions you have for that? I have seen many other have done the same thing, and no fail with ssc file to that

Boliverius Alvera Sagittarii is out for download now on celestiamotherlode.net:

So just remember, this is the first version of this addon, it will take a while till I am finished with the 2nd version
I'm not finished with it yet

I looked at the textures/medres folder (didn't install the addon because Celestia glitches up pretty badly on this computer) and noticed some textures I've seen before, altered a bit. Specifically, moon2, golivani-clouds (looks like a recolored venuslike.jpg), and the textures for Vulcania and Amphitrite. I also noticed the bump for Golivani has areas on land that are lower than sea level, in direct contact with the ocean. Which, by the way, is impossible unless there are ridiculously strong walls holding up the water.

It is Vista, I tried running Celestia from a USB drive, and I have UAC disabled. The glitches are purely visual (Earth's surface at night flickering between full white and the night map, etc) and are unrelated to addons. kristoffer, would you be interested in having me make new textures for Amphitrite and Vulcania?

--- edit ---

Looked through the files a bit more and noticed that Dyaus Pita uses exactly the same textures as AAV (I am NOT typing out that whole name) but with a different atmosphere. There's also a moon that uses the same texture as Vulcania. I wouldn't really do that unless the texture being reused is a generic "asteroid" or "moon" texture, or if you're doing a small galaxy's worth of star systems at once. The gas giant textures are nice, though, apart from some extreme JPEG artifacts in Vertilu's texture and sharp color transitions in both.

John van vilet, what do I need to do to update my addon on Motherlode?

For an example, I am going to upload the 3rd version of Boliverius Alvera Sagittarii?
