Celestia Forums

Is it possible to modify Celestia's data files so that the universe is entirely empty (no stars, no planets, no galaxies)? I tried deleting the "stars.dat" file, and various portions thereof, but Celestia crashed, saying "Could not read star database."

You can stop Celestia from using stars.dat by editing celestia.cfg. Comment out or delete the line
StarDatabase "data/stars.dat"

Ah, that works! Thanks a lot!

You're very welcome.
