Flying Carpet

Post #1by selden » 26.06.2008, 12:30

Here's an Addon which provides a Flying Carpet for Celestia.

This image shows the carpet at the entrance to a model of the Hampton Court Maze, which is included.

One clicks on a 3D button to make the carpet move.

Note:
This Addon is incompatible with the Hale Telescope Addon.
If one is installed, you must deinstall the other.

Science and fantasy don't work in the same world ;)

Actually, this seems to be due to a limitation in the implementation of Lua in Celestia, which may be fixed or worked around in a future version.
