How do I make custom content for Celestia?

[selden]

Create planet, star or deep space catalogs,
create models or
create scripts.

You might take a look at the Web page http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celest ... intro.html
It describes some of the things you might try.

Any reason for sparing out 'custom textures' of celestial bodies? These are neither models nor catalogs.

As part of creating a catalog, one might create textures. The Addon Web page has many links to many other pages describing many other aspects of Addon creation, too many to mention here.

Sorry, but I and many others have created LOTS OF textures that were NOT parts of a catalog... If one creates a texture one just DOES it. Who cares about catalogs in most cases?

I simply felt that textures should have been included in your list above, OR you should have just given your link...Texture creation is/has been one of the most intense custom activities by users.

I followed the directions to it, but for some reason it's not working. I put in all the data, but the planet is just not showing up.

Some likely causes of problems are listed in section 6 of the addon-intro page. Often it turns out to be something "it couldn't possibly be," so be sure to check them all.
