How do I download add-ons onto my Celestia?

Post #1by gamb » 11.01.2008, 23:56

There should be some instructions found within the .zip file. If not, standard procedure is to put the contents of the .zip file into the /extras directory. You'll have to extract/unzip it to do that.
Current Setup:
Windows 7 64 bit. Celestia 1.6.0.
AMD Athlon Processor, 1.6 Ghz, 3 Gb RAM
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics

Go back to where you downloaded the file and then try clicking on the
magnifying glass too. This will show you others' comments about
the add-on itself, and how to install it.

Aw, that's alright. Someone simply forgot to remind the guy to say
THANK YOU for all of your help here. I guess he really didn't
need it after all. :wink:

If it makes you feel any better though, I was totally impressed with
your patience in trying to resolve the user's questions. I think you
did a magnificent job trying to help here.

Of course, you have to remember who you're talking to. :roll:

Tx Bob I DO feel better now:wink:, but I guess my English must be the problem, Selden for example is much more efficient for this kind of stuff... I think next time I'll stay in my corner... :?

I LOVE ya, Sean, but if you ever ask another question, I'm gonna
go "Hide in a corner" like my friend ElChristou was saying.
Hee, hee. :wink:

Just kidding there my friend. Hopefully, we ALL learn something from
these little brain-teasers, and the real developers get some idea of
what it takes to get Brain-Dead users up to speed. :lol:

Had NOTHING to do with your English, my friend. :wink:

By the way, stay OUT of the corner. Like I told Sean above, when these
things happen, they provide everybody with a bit more education,
and insight, into the intricacies of Celestial Users and their thought
processes. Hell, even I learned something from your help posts. :lol:
