Starbridge Problems -- HELP!!

Post #1by Ceili » 07.07.2009, 15:17

I just got Starbridge, so I can create my own Stars.dat file.

I really need this program, because I wanna create my own universes for Celestia, that aren't conflicted with the currently loaded stars.dat.

The problem is, when I try to run Sample2Celestia.cmd, I get this:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
Press any key to continue . . .

I haven't altered the .cmd file. So it is setup like the help says, with -Xms64m a 64mb stack and -Xmx1024m a 1gb heap.

Since these are the normal values, why is it not working for me?

Edit: Ok, I changed the 1024 to 512, and it worked. It generated a stars.dat and starnames.dat

I know these have to go into the data folder. I have the Celestia Load program, that tells you to rename stars.dat to something like "stars <random>.dat" so when you run it, you can select from them.

The thing is, what do I do for the starnames.dat file? I tried naming it to match the stars.dat it goes with -> "stars original.dat" and "starnames original.dat" however this didn't work.

My question is: Where do I put the extra starnames.dat? The Starbridge program doesn't say anything about it.
