Scripts location

Post #1by jll » 22.07.2003, 09:25

Hi,

I try to locate my scripts with "extra" they are about
example :

Celestia/extra
Celestia/extra/MyExtraAboutSpaceObject
Celestia/extra/MyExtraAboutSpaceObject/Texture
Celestia/extra/MyExtraAboutSpaceObject/Texture/Hires
Celestia/extra/MyExtraAboutSpaceObject/Scripts
Celestia/extra/MyExtraAboutSpaceObject/Scripts/MyScriptsAboutSpaceObject.cel

But when i do this, no texture are displayed when i run my script from this location ?
If i put the script into Celestia "root dir" all is fine 8O

Did i miss something ??

Bye

Hi jll,

In Question/Answer 15 of the Preliminary Celestia User's FAQ (available at the top of the User's Forum: http://ennui.shatters.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2291), Selden writes the following ...

"A limitation in the current version of Celestia is that your default directory must be the Celestia root directory and the scripts must be there, too. Otherwise Celestia will not be able to find the surface texture files for its objects."

Hopefully this is on the developer's "to do" list to be fixed <smile>.
