Celestia Forums

... The mountain will come to you

Well, I'm trying to create a doc about adding planets, objects, stars, etc ... in Celestia.
But I don't know how to do.
Peurhaps we can do a "Wiki", where everybody can add something, identified in specifical subject, like "how to ..."
Is shatters.net can accept it ?
Can we do it, or vote it (it's more democratic )

If you don't know what is a Wiki, you can see one at (in french, sorry )

http://www.flashxpress.net/wiki/

It's something like a faq, but everybody can participate in real time.

Well, have a good day.

I'm trying to identified some subject !

I would have liked well, but I did not find the function which allowed it . And my small project always holds me heart

oupsss, it was me above
This is the traduction for french:

J'aurais bien aim?, mais je n'ai pas trouv? la fonction qui le permettait. Et mon petit projet me tient toujours ? coeur

I for one would like to see a complete manual on planet building in Celestia...I personally would not be the best person as Im not a astrophysics professor but generally a good rule of thumb is to copy data that you currently have and simply modify the variables to do what you want them to...Thats how I learned...

All I use is notepad for the ssc...Having a decent painting program is also a good plan if your considering on building brand new planet textures...

One that works on most platforms is http://www.gimp.org which I find to be one of the most valuable tools out there...

I, myself have a doctorate (PHd) in Astro-Physics from Oxford, Eng. Although I have to admit, computer coding seriously baffles me. For some reason I just can't get my head around it. The closest I get is adding new planets around stars that have none, I use really weird orbits just for fun.
