--------------------------
The Celestia Stargenerator I scripted, and will be updating it more, is based on mIRC because its quite stable and doesnt require any other compiler. mIRC is the famous IRC client, which has very extensible scripting capabilities.
You can download the first part of the OoS project, a file containing 10000 stars from HERE. Save this in Celestia -> Extras folder. Every star starts with OoS- EX##### incase you want to go and watch them from closer.
You can download the .mrc file from HERE.
It has over 260 lines of script, and is very capable of writing over 10,000 stars in half a hour(depending on your computers Processor and RAM of course.) with just a few clicks!
Download that file in your mIRC directory and run the mIRC program.(You don't need to connect to any server.)
When you have that status window visible, type this in it:
/load -rs CelestiaStars.mrc
You will get a message informing it has been loaded and can be used.
When you want to start generating colossal catalogs, you only have to type in /GenerateStars to launch the script.
It pops up a few dialogs where you can fill details etc..
It has many features, such as:
-Generate the stars in many parts.
-Experimental progress saving when a single part ends, incase it crashes you dont need to wait it to build all that again when the file is cutoff suddenly.
-A new abort command which is included in this version.(NOTE: if your computer is slow, and it looks like the client freezes, DON'T do anything, it takes its time until it responses, but it's extremely rare that it crashes for good. Also trying to type anything if it shows the "No Response" thing might cause it to crash, thus theres the progress saving.)
-Knowledge of A, B, F, G, K, M and Q(Neutron star) class stars. Also knows some of the V and I subclasses and such.
-For realism its adjusted so that most stars are M(Red) Stars.
-Automatic saving in .stc format, files will be written to your mIRC installation directory.
-Progress messages. Shows an "echo" on screen when a star is generated and what part it is in.
-Capability of naming and creating your very own Star Catalogs and projects.
Known Errors&Bugs
-Some stars might be extremely dim, like 0.0000004 x Sun, and sometimes it might give too many Hyperstars, stars millions of times brighter than sun, like 5468781.3 x Sun.
-Progress Save File(Continue File) loading sometimes makes your client crash, its still experimental.
Additions coming in next versions:
-Complete Continue File loading system.
-Exoplanet Generator for the stars.
-Fixed Too Dim/Too Bright bug.
Please report bugs in this thread so I can fix them and make the script better.

The Enkrone System
This is another part of my upcoming OoS project. This medium sized system has 13 Solar Bodies(Planets, Moons), but more will be coming, and more systems will be coming as the project advances and I have time to build them. Also has extraterrestial space ships orbiting a terran planet.
You can download it(zip) from HERE.
----------------------------------------
Hope you enjoy these things I've been making.
More Systems and Updates will be coming later, and I will add them here, first I have to solve a few host problems.
Also tell me your own opinions and comments/whatever about the script and the system.
