Lua Edu Tools v1.1 - DOWNLOAD link

[Vincent]

Is there a specific reason for which you don't want to add your Mars images pathes in 'infoImage.lua'?

Was just a thought about further image add-ons and how to merge files as long as .ssc files are substituted by other .ssc's.

OK, so your infoMars file should look like this:

Code: Select all

-- Image filenames for my Mars:

infoImage["Mars1"] = "../images/mars/my_Mars1.png";
infoImage["Mars2"] = "../images/mars/my_Mars2.png";

This way, the new keys/values will be added in the infoImage table without overwriting the previous ones. In your infoMars example, the infoImage table was overwritten whenever you wrote:

Code: Select all

infoImage =
{
...
}

Then, you should add your requires directly at the beginning of the 'infoImage.lua' file, rather than modifying 'infoBox.lua'.

Vincent, if I make a subdir of the ..images directory, to say:

../images/solar_system/mercury

and into the infoImage.lua I write:

My_Mercury1 = "../images/solar_system/mercury/my_image_Mercury1.jpg";

and then I put that image,

nothing happen when loading Celestia > Mercury > Moreinfo.

Ahhhh!!!... Found my mistake. "My_" string may be removed.

Here's a link to the Lua Edu Tools v1.1 package:
http://vincent.gian.club.fr/celestia/Lu ... ls_1.1.zip

This is mainly a bugfix release, with one single new feature added over v1.0:
the travelling duration of the Custom Goto command (Shift + G) can now be set
in the config.lua file:

Code: Select all

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Define the travelling duration (in seconds) of the Custom Goto command, accessible by [Shift]+[G].
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
custom_goto_duration = 20

The download link I provided in the first post and the subject of the thread have been updated.

Hi Vincent, with the upgrade to the last Celestia's release (Cartrite) the LuaTools shows this behaviour, not present in the official 1.5.0 version:

Hi Massimo,

Thanks for the report. Anyway, the Lua Edu Tools are for use with Celestia 1.5.
I may release an updated version when Celestia 1.6 is out. I'll made the needed
change to correct this.

Can't seem to get the Lua Edu Tools to work, get this error when start Celestia 1.5.1:
Fatal Error - error opening LuaHook 'luahookinit.lua'
Suggestions welcome, anyone?
Have installed Tools per instructions, changed celestia.cfg per instructions... must be missing something...

Hi

Seems too obvious but are you sure the the file 'luahookinit.lua' is in the main directory of celestia ?

[wrennoir]

Thanks, Jogad, but yes, it's in the main directory - /Celestia. Rats, was hoping it was that simple...

This error message is returned when the 'luahookinit.lua' file can't be found.
Could you please post a copy of the LuaHook definition line your celestia.cfg file ?

Also, the 'luahookinit.lua' file which is in your celestia base directory may have
been corrupted during the download process. You can try saving the following code
as 'luahookinit.lua' using your favourite text editor:

Code: Select all

-- luahookinit.lua

require "lua_edu_tools";

celestia:setluahook(lua_edu_tools);
