Globular Cluster Generator
Is it possible to get Rassilon's Globular Cluster Generator to work in windows vista?
I keep getting the following error:

Re: Globular Cluster Generator
while I have no idea what that globular cluster generator is supposed to do, let me remind you that Celestia 1.6.0 has a nice one built in . It uses 8500 stars, has many realistic features and allows users to generate their own (fictional) globular clusters anywhere in the Universe. Of course, all 150 known globular clusters within our galaxy are already implemented.

I use it to populate other galaxies and the random solar system generator is a big help too.t00fri wrote:while I have no idea what that globular cluster generator is supposed to do, let me remind you that Celestia 1.6.0 has a nice one built in .

Re: Globular Cluster Generator
I know this topic is "Not so fresh" But i too LOVE rassilion's globular cluster generator, especially since it creates actual STC files, meaning the stars in the cluster will actually be "point and go to" stars, instead of like the default cluster in celestia, where you have to view the cluster as a whole.
There is one thing i would have liked to see done to his program however. I would have loved to see a feature added where you can control what spectral types will dominate your fictional cluster. Say you were filling in another galaxy with stars, and it has a star cluster made up of mostly B and O class stars, since the current generator completely randomizes the spectral types in the clusters, going back and changing the spectral types in a large cluster would be a REAL P.I.T.A.
Thanks for hearing my 2 cents

Re: Globular Cluster Generator
Reiko and I are very puzzled about this, as i have Windows Vista Home premium, service pack 1, and it is working for me!
I have the following files in my Generator folder...
Log (folder)
Cluster (application)
Readme
ST6UNST
Global.CFG
And yet i can get mine to work. Maybe theres something about which TYPE of windows vista you use, like me having home premium, and if someone else had the windows vista for business?

Re: Globular Cluster Generator
yes pluto, so am i.....reiko said that she has the 64K windows vista.....but you say it doesnt work for you either? Very puzzling!
Re: Globular Cluster Generator
I guess one of us should contact Rassilon and ask him if he can make it vista compatible.

Re: Globular Cluster Generator
I have already tried, Bob Hedgewood said that he has been "missing in action" for months now, makes us wonder if he quit celestia?

You mean that he *got* one? Or do you mean that he lost one?
