Heej I have Celestia for a few days now and here are my first designed planets.. what do you think?
The last link of them is a bug, because one planet is not in the same list as the others, how can I fix that?

Empty,

They look quite good for a first effort!

You might want to read http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/addon-intro.html. It includes a list of the most common Addon problems.

thanks,

but nope the problem is not there.. the strange thing is that I've had it before with another planet, but after a while it was fixed again.. can't remember how, of course

I notice some of those look like full screen captures (inlcuding your taskbar) - you know that Celestia can capture images by itself, right? The "Capture Image" item can be found in the "File" menu.

Yea I noticed it before but I was used to print screen so I kept using that.. but now I have to admit this goes much faster.

Did you by chance accidentally include a "/" in the planet's name? Or an extra one in its "path"? That'll confuse Celestia.

If you'd quote the planet's SSC definition, that might help someone to debug your problem.

Okay I changed the radius to above 1000 and now it's in the same list as the others.. strange logic

Aha!

That suggests that you didn't include the SSC directive
Class "planet"

If you don't specify the type of object, then Celestia assumes a body with a radius of less than 1000 km is an asteroid. If it's larger than 1000 km, then it's a planet.

I know this affects the color of the orbit path. I dunno what else.

Okay thanks, i've decreased it's radius again and now it's still on the same list as the others
