Celestia Forums

Hi to everyone!
I've made a script that illustrate the evolution of the ISS; in the script, I've used the stages from celestiamotherlode with the SSC's modified in the name ("ISS-Stage1, ISS-Stage2 and so on).

This is the script (with italian descriptions):


{
# -----------------------------------------
# International Space Station evolution
# Demonstrating the evolution of the ISS from
# the first module to the complete structure
#
# ISS from launch Nov. 20, 1998 to the final
# structure of the station
# ------------------

#initialization

print {text "Inizializzazione dello SCRIPT < ISS Stages > ..." row -7 column 1 duration 5.0}

# Cancel follow and goto commands, and set Coordinate System to Universal...
cancel {}

# Clear the display of any left-over text from the print command...
cls {}

# Set Timerate
timerate { rate 1.0}

# Unmark all objects that are currently Marked and disable marker display...
unmarkall {}

# Do not render the following objects...
renderflags { clear "boundaries|constellations|planets|stars|moons" }
renderflags { clear "markers|orbits|pointstars" }
renderflags { clear "grid" }

# Do not render the following label ...
labels {clear "planets|moons|spacecraft|asteroids|constellations|stars|galaxies"}

# Pre load textures
preloadtex { object "Earth" }
preloadtex { object "Moon" }
preloadtex { object "Sol" }
