New addon : meteorites locations

Post #1by Cham » 12.08.2008, 07:17

I'm giving away this unfinished addon : I'm simply getting sick of addons creation :evil: So nomore addons from me for an indeterminate (hopefully long) period of time.

2134 meteorits locations on Earth, with mass and meteorit type in name (truncated names in Celestia. Names too long...) :

Do whatever you want with it.

Can't imagine why you'd be getting tired of creating add-ons...
Hell, you've only been doing this 24-hours a day for the past two or three months haven't you? :wink:
Humorous sarcasm intended. Take a break my friend. :)

Indeed! Yes, take a break, you deserve one! :D

I would like to thank you for all the work you've done. All those addons you've created most recently, a most awesome work! You're a very talented person! Thank you! 8)

Ummm... keep that "Political borders on Earth" addon handy though, it's bound to change frequently! :wink: :lol:

:D

I finally worked on the meteorites location file last night. I lost the reference, though :oops:

I removed all meteorites below 1 kg to reduce the number of labels (it was much too messy in Celestia) and reduced the name lenght by removing all the meteorite types. I kept the mass information in the name, however.

1503 meteorites above 1 kg :

The Hoba meteorite (the largest known yet : 60 tons !) is included.

Please tell me if there's any truncated name left, or any error...

EDIT : Ok, I found back the source : the list comes from a GoogleEarth addon :
