Hierarchy display problem w/ Solar System Browser in 1.2.4

[Mutos]

Hi everybody,


Still trying to build around 79 Cet the Drom stellar system, home of the Rithai spacegoing species in my Hoshikaze universe ! But when creating a station, I found what seems a hierarchy display problem in the Solar System Browser.

There is a gas planet called Matholn in the system, which has (for now) only one satellite, called Ergal. Around this satellite lies a station. When I start Celestia w/ data below, it shows the planet, the satellite & the station at their correct position. But in the browser, the Ergal & Marnia Ud Deskae lines are both under Matholn, instead of Ergal being under Matholn & Marnia Ud Deskae under Ergal. It displays just as if the station were a satellite of Matholn instead of being one of Ergal !

Could anyone confirm if on his own Celestia the problem occurs ? I checked my code & it seems correct. Anyways it displays OK except for the SSB hierarchy.

Here are the codes I use for these. They are not Kepler-correct since I discovered the problem before calculating the correct axis-period values. I also included planet Irilia for not having only one planet in the system.

Both 1.2.4 and 1.2.5pre3 have the problem. Both show the satellite at the same level in the heirarchy as the moon.

The same problem is seen when using the Apollo 11 ssc which orbits the Earth's moon.

Hi everybody,


Thanks Selden for ur having tested it. So we'll have to live w/ this. At least it's good to know it's not a problem w/ my code.

I keep building my Drom system & I'll post the pics on the Hoshikaze site asap. Hope it'll not be in weeks 'cause my work is very time-consuming these days ^-^

I just found and fixed the bug in the Solar System browser. Now the tree in the solar system browser can be arbitrarily deep, and Apollo 11 is a child of the Moon instead of the Earth. I plan on putting out another prerelease today which will have this and other fixes.
