Merry Xmas! Update to "Instrument panel follow-up"
Posted: 18.12.2005, 18:03
Hi, there,
I am starting a new thread about the picture overlay Celestia mod.
I have done some good progress with the code.
Anybody who is able to compile will be able to implement the mod.
I have some further improvements in the pipe and this is a kind of very functional beta.
You will find below 5 screenshots which show how the overlay behaves in various scenarios.
Basically the mod consists of:
- a new 'logo.png' picture to be put in /celestia/textures/. It is up to those interested to create their own picture. My overlay is a 2048x1024 png picture.
- a new piece of code which replaces the logo block in celestiacore.ccp source file
The picture is dynamically loaded, refreshed and resized and lives nicely with Celestia.
I put the URLs below to the screenshots which show various situations.
Beware the files are pretty big.
Their names tell what they are supposed to show.

Now the block of code for those who want to play with.
It should be platform- and ui- independent but I cannot test on anything but Linux.
It is heavily documented in-line.
Edit: thanks t00fri for giving me some hints![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
