I upgraded from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5 but shortly after start celestia always gives me an access violation then quits.
Video card: Matrox Millenium G450
Video driver: downloaded latest 5.86.32.0 from Matrox site; didn't install support for dualhead
OS: Win2K SP3
Doctor Watson's log file follows. User.dmp file omitted but available upon request.
Where can I start to troubleshoot this problem?
Thanks

1.2.5 access violation when started on WinNT 4.0
G'Day All
Dr Watson: access violation 0x0000005 address 0x00000000 (for everything EXCEPT comets!)
Computer details:
OS Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00.1381 service pack 5
Computer HP vetcra, intel pentium family 6 model 8 stepping 6
Display driver: i81xnt4.sys ver 4.03.1381.2598
Direct x Version 4.04
But the comets work! Halley, Borrelly and Ikea-Zhang swoop and zoom across the screen as advertised, while planets, Moons, asteroids, artifical satelleites and such cause the dreaded "access violation".
So I looked up solarsystem.ssc
# 2001 KX76
"2001 KX76" "Sol"
{
Class "asteroid"
Texture "asteroid.jpg"
Radius 600
Crashes, "access volation"
# 2001 KX76
"2001 KX76" "Sol"
{
Class "asteroid"
Texture "asteroid.jpg"
Mesh "asteroid.cms"
Radius 600
Works
# 2001 KX76
"2001 KX76" "Sol"
{
Class "asteroid"
Texture "asteroid.jpg"
Mesh "roughsphere.cms"

Hmmmm, let look at the asteroids.
"Eros" "Sol"
{
Class "asteroid"
Mesh "eros.3ds"
Texture "asteroid.jpg"
Crashes
"Eros" "Sol"
{
Class "asteroid"
Mesh "asteroid.cms"
Texture "asteroid.jpg"
Works.
Okay, comets work fine, Centaurs work when given Mesh files, and asteroids work when given *.cms files. So it looks like the program isn't finding the 3ds files, even though they are sitting in the folder with the cms files. Planets are set up in some other way, but it looks as if a default directory has been messed up inside the program (unless the 3ds thing is an openGL issue which doesn't affect *.cms files). Is the program failing to render plain spheres?
I've turned off hardware acceleration and changed screen resolution, but neither of these actions have had any effect. I've also installed cleanly from 2 separate downloads from two different repositories. The same problem occurs when the files are installed under C:\Program Files\Celestia (the default suggestion) or C:\Program Files\CelestiaNew (the old program runs fine from C:\Program Files\Celestia\Celestia).
As I said, the 3ds thing might be an open GL issue, but why do the cms files work okay?
Cheers! Ian

As far as I can tell, the hardware is
Intel on-board video for Windows NT 4.0
with
Miniport driver for Intel graphics driver
i81xnt4.sys
version 4.03.1381.2593
My Open GL drivers are
Vendor: Microsoft Corporation
Renderer: GDI Generic
Version: 1.1.0
I can _still_ run Celestia 1.0.10 with no problem (not 1.10 as in the last message). I've copied over the latest 3ds files for the ISS from 1.2.5 into 1.0.10 and it works just fine. I've copied over the 3ds files and descriptions (headers appropriately modified) for Bacchus, Gaspra and Golveka, and they are running just fine (Golveka is orbiting Sol in 1.0.10 as I write this). So the new 3ds files can be rendered using OpenGl in 1.0.10.
Upgrading NT would be nice, but is out of my hands.
Cheers! Ian

Ian,
Chris has been aware of the incompatability between Celestia v1.2.5 and Microsoft's v1.1 OpenGL drivers for some time now. I, at least, am glad you've tracked it down to something in the 3ds rendering code. Hopefully that'll make it possible for Chris to fix it.
Celestia v1.2.5's 3ds renderer has at least one other problem, which might (or might not) be related: on systems where it doesn't crash, it renders surface textures upside down and reversed.
(Written later: have you tried Celestia v1.2.4? It seems to work OK with Microsoft's v1.1 OpenGL driver for Nvidia cards, at least.)

And XP, from the comments above. No I haven't tried it although I would like to. Chris's site seems to point only to 1.2.5 and I have been unable to locate a copy 1.2.4 on the net elswhere. If you know of the location of a downloadable copy of 1.2.4 that I could try out, could you tell me.

Duh! Found it! (using the wrong search string) Installed it, It works beautifly, and have just made a movie of sunrise on Upsilon Andromedae d with it.
Okay, some where in the transition from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5 the code handling 3ds file went feral.
