Cannot activate Globular Clusters

[AstroNut]

I am running Celestia 1.6.0 SVN r4542 on Windows Vista Home Premium.
I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT graphics card (this is probably not relevant to my problem).
When I press Shift "u" or Shift "e" to turn on Globular Clusters and labels, nothing happens!
I modified the celestia.cfg file as instructed and copied galaxies.dsc and globulars.dsc to my /data directory.

Did some further testing -- when I look at "Render/View Options" globulars are on but I see nothing on screen.
Do I need to install an Add on package?

Fidger:

Here is my entry in celestia.cfg

DeepSkyCatalog [ "data/galaxies.dsc"
"data/globulars.dsc" ]

Did you properly modify the DeepSkyCatalog entry in celestia.cfg into an array!?

Like so:

Code: Select all

DeepSkyCatalogs            [ "data/galaxies.dsc"
                             "data/globulars.dsc" ] 


I can assure you that you must have done something wrong... Do you want us to guess what it was? Why don't you display your relevant entries in celestia.cfg??

Here is my entry in celestia.cfg

DeepSkyCatalog [ "data/galaxies.dsc"
"data/globulars.dsc" ]

I told you that you must have introduced a TYPO!

Here it is:

DeepSkyCatalog -> DeepSkyCatalogs

Thank You. Did not notice that slight change in the readme file.

I made the change in the .cfg file and now it works!!
