Celestia Forums

Yo, I looked around my Celestia Archives folder, and I noticed I possibly have 3 source codes for Stargen, from 2012, 2013, and 2014 respectively, in case anyone wants to try their hand at improving them

(Feel free to delete the .ssc files I made with it.)

Thanks!

Thanks there were some comments in your version that were missing in other versions online!
I'm developing mostly off of this source https://github.com/omega13a/stargen

my version is here https://github.com/sirus20x6/stargen

I'm slowly converting it to c++, then I'll add json support and then maybe add some features

I think I might have the version Selden and someone else had done. Originally ran them on Windows XP courtesy of Cygwin, but since switching to Ubuntu, wouldn't mind figuring out how to get them up and running again.

-M-

you should be able to run



I just added json exporting today

Ahh, I had forgotten about Omega13a's github!

I've removed the requirements for boost and gnu scientific library so it should be easier to build now.

remove display.h.gch from the repo, it's a compiled header file

I am trying to run sirus20x6's version of StarGen, but when compiling, cygwin gives me an error saying M_PI was in place of PI.

Upon fixing it, it compiled, with multiple warnings for multi-character character constant.

Upon attempting to run it, I get error dialogs saying cyggcc_s-seh-1.dll, cygstc++-6.ll, and cygwin1.dll were missing.

It ran, but the only thing that works is the -h help command. Everything else does absolutely nothing. No html files, Celestia out resulted in files of 0 bytes, etc.

The same if I fill in the remaining dlls from older version of stargen.

Also the same if I port over the latest versions of all the dll's.

However, if I use all of the dlls from the 2015 version of stargen, I get an error saying it couldn't start correctly due to error code (0xc000007b)

Turns out in order for StarGen to work and generate planets, the html folder needs to exist in the StarGen folder
