star and sol flare question

[Claude Rafter]

I am new to celestia and I was wondering if there is anyone that could tell me if it is possible to switch to alternate star and sol flares in the program like I have seen some scripts do with planet textures? If there is a way how do you do it and can you have the option of switching through several alternatives?

Claude:

You cannot change the flare of a star within Celestia once it is running, but you can use alternative flare textures in place of the one that comes with Celestia.

The motherlode has an add-on that contains six or so alternative flare textures.

To change a flare texture, simply move the original "flare'jpg" texture out of the main "textures" folder in Celestia, and paste a different "flare.jpg" texture into the folder. Then launch Celestia.
