information display

Post #1by slinted » 17.07.2004, 07:12

I've currently got 1.3.2 pre 4 running on windows.
I'm working on a scripted flyby movie, and since the "speed" numbers displayed in the lower left corner are complete nonsense I was hoping to find a way to remove just the speed (or just the speed from the lower left, and the time from the upper right corner) from the information screen, while retaining the target info in the upper left and FOV information. Is this possible? If this were possible either from script or from some sort of celestia setting, I'd love to know about it.


Thanks for your time

Sorry to say, there is no way of controlling what text items are displayed on Celestia's Heads-Up-Display. The only options we have are None (blank), Terse and Verbose (via Render / View Options). But Speed is displayed in both, Terse and Verbose modes.

However, if you are a C++ programmer, you can grab the source code from SourceForge CVS, modify it and recompile to suit your specific needs.
