Celestia Forums

Hi everyone.

For the first time (in a long while) I have actually started work on a new system for the star Ross 128. However I have encountered a problem in Celestia and I think that numerous things in my SSC code are wrong. When I run Celestia and go to Ross 128, I see the first planet that I have created, rings and other textures can be seen with excellent results. I also defined a moon of that planet and gave it textures and settings... but here the problems begins...

The moon is not drawn in Celestia though it is defined as a name in the system. Not only can I see any textures, its the whole sphere thats missing. To support my problem I have a copy of the code shown below. Can anyone help me out as to why this moon isn't being drawn?

I have used no system generation software. This has been created from the ground up using notepad.



Thanks for any help

1. You should avoid punctuation marks in filenames: get rid of the apostrophes and spaces.
They cause problems for command-line utilities. Use underscores instead.

2. Color values go from 0 to 1, not 0 to 255.

After making those changes, it works fine for me.

Selden,

I changed the colour values to their correct properties and also removed the apostrophes and spaces. I replaced the spaces with underscores however the moon still isn't being drawn in Celestia for me. The one thing I didn't mention in my previous post was the version of Celestia I am running which is 1.5.0. I will try and get the latest version for my laptop and see if that makes a difference.

Cheers

Just checking, did you replace

with


It may be that you didn't change the name of the orbited body when you declared the moon.

Hungry4Info,

Yes i did do that and it didn't let me see the Moon. I have just got 1.5.1 Celestia, so I am going to mess around with it in that.
