OrbitColor parameters not working for referencepoints

[PlutonianEmpire]

I learned about establishing custom orbit colors from here:
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=17167

But when I tried establishing an orbit color to a reference point, such as Pluto-Charon, the color for its orbit remained its default color.

Hi,

I don't know if it is a bug. In any case it is a little bit annoying.

You can change the orbit's color but the default color is displayed unless you specify that you really want to display the modified color.

You can do that with this simple celx script :

Code: Select all

PlutoCharon = celestia:find("Sol/Pluto-Charon")
PlutoCharon:setorbitcolor(1,1,0)  -- yellow orbit for Pluto-Charon
PlutoCharon:setorbitcoloroverridden(true) -- activate the change

Of course you can run this script independantly or add these 3 lines to your start script
