Settextcolor

Post #1by thefallenghost » 11.03.2010, 05:52

I am having issues with the celestia:settextcolor(r, g, b) function. Celestia returns this error when I run my script: Attempt to call method 'settextcolor' (a nil value). The same happens with gettextcolor. Help!
This is the end of the script:

Code: Select all

--starcount = celestia:getstarcount()
celestia:settextcolor(1,0,1)
obs = celestia:getobserver()
hd47536 = celestia:find("HD 47536")
obs:gotodistance(hd47536, 4, 5) --travel to within 4 km of HD 47536
sol = celestia:find("Sol")
obs = celestia:getobserver()
obs:track(sol)
obs:follow(sol)
wait (7.0)
celestia:setfaintestvisible(25)
celestia:setstardistancelimit(800)
celestia:hidelabel("stars","galaxies","nebulae","globulars")
celestia:setstarstyle("disc")
celestia:print("On voit en ce moment environ 67 000 etoiles.", 10.0)
wait (10.0)

These are new methods which will be available in Celestia 1.6.1.
Meanwhile, you can compile the 1.6.1 SVN development version
or get a Win32 pre-compiled package (revision 4996) from:
