NEW ADDON! > SOLARSYSTEM GENERATOR WITH MOONS & ASTRO

[Ianmillar]

Hi there!

I have created a solar system generator that askes you for a star system then askes you for No. of planets and moons.

Options include:-

Inclination
Eccentricity
and size of solar system.

Random features:-
28 different Textures
radius and Semimajoraxis and more

with that you can download the textures as well that it uses.

I programed it with QuickBasic 4.5 the source code is included.

Enjoy.

Not bad...Might want to upgrade to Visual Basic since QBasic has a hard time with large text files...If you plan to add to this project...

btw some of those textures look familiar

[Ianmillar]

I want to create a solar system with two stars close to each other (about 0.25 AU) to create a dual solar system.

Any ideas?

[Rassilon]

Use emissive objects...They work the best...

Adding Emissive true to a planet and a very thick atmosphere and a star texture gives it the apperance of a star...

I cant download the files: when using IExplorer, it says that the page is unavailable, and when using Download Acelerator, it asks me for a password...

[ElPelado]

Problem solved: I downloaded them from your page.

Hello, Ian, Celestians:
Very interresting stuff.
Little comments: your addon for asteroid creations is reffering to an 'asteroid.png' texture, witch is neither in your texture packs nor Celestia basic texture ones? Or i have lost something?

Ian,

On this forum (phpBB based) HTML code won't work if you put it into your posts/sig etc.

So instead of using

Code: Select all

<p>
<IMG src="http://www.geocities.com/ianmillar1982/images/icons/ic_main.jpg"
border=0 width="211" height="158"></a></p>

You should use

Code: Select all

[img]http://www.geocities.com/ianmillar1982/images/icons/ic_main.jpg[/img]

Which will display


However...
Unfortunately Geosucks won't let you outside link to your images, so I suggest getting a new free host for your stuff... There are loads out there!

[Rassilon]

If you want Ill give you 50 megs of free space on Celestialvisions to host your addons and webpage...Its far better than geocities...

For more details take a look at the site: http://www.celestialvisions.net/events.shtml
