This fixes the crash, but now something strange has happened to all of the text and the galaxies.

Like onetwothree said, shaders are missing, copy those from the .zip/Celestia.app/Contents/Resources/CelestiaResources/shaders to the shaders folder where it read data from (in your case your 1.6.1 installation).

hmmm, can you provide console output (press ~) and maybe launch from Terminal (or show package contents - Contents - macOS - Double click on Celestia) and see if there is any log output?

ok, good luck to read this ?

Perhaps with the file 'shaders.log'

show what do you have in shaders subfolder

Subdirectory shaders contains 1.7 files + 1.6.2 files...

used with celestia-5772-txf-x64-RaDecDist.exe but ok with celestia-txf-x64.exe (from 12/15/2019) :wink:

Thanks Markerz and onetwothree,

I added galaxy_frag.glsl, galaxy_vert.glsl, text_frag.glsl, and text_vert.glsl to my 1.6.1 installation. I also added star_frag.glsl and star_vert.glsl since the stars weren't showing. That seems to have fixed most of the red rectangles.

When start.cel runs, there's this giant red triangle that opens up when it selects the Sun or the Earth. So I'm probably missing some other shaders.

And where are text_*.glsl?

selpointer_*.glsl

just copy all shaders from github

Good idea, now I think I don't have any more shader issues.

Also, zooming in and out using Markerz's build is much faster, just like 1.6.1 :smile:

Markerz · Post #793by **Markerz** » 08.04.2020, 01:55

it actually makes me feel that the shaders should be read from a specific place (not to be influenced by environment variables), or just hardcoded in a way in CPP code, since we don't actually read shaders other than the ones we have

Good to hear that, this is a total rewrite of UI on macOS. and hopefully would also be the foundation for future releases for macOS :wink:

@123: Great, it's OK, TY. :clap:

That's great to hear! How was it compiled? I thought you could only compile the QT version on macOS.

Added after 1 hour 22 minutes:
onetwothree, is the CelestiaContent repo finalized? I just tried compiling 1.7.0 and I noticed that it did not install data, extras, models, etc.

That would not be good... (but not really surprising either...)

Update your git submodules:

Code: Select all

git submodule update --init

and when you run cmake to configure a build, pass an additional option to it:

Code: Select all

cmake ... -DENABLE_DATA=ON ...

Okay. I'm sure you're aware of this, but INSTALL.md does not yet include ENABLE_DATA as a parameter.

the part of UI code is not yet in Celestia repo. once I made it public, I would make documentation about making it work

Some time ago support for Y-class brown dwarfs was added to Celestia. I've now made a pull request that adds the remaining missing spectral class: WO. As a bonus, here is an stc file with all 9 known WO stars. (Not a typo, they're very rare!) I've also added that link to the first post of my addon thread. The addon will still work in versions of Celestia without support for WO stars, but the stars will be displayed as spectral type WC.
