I have a question about add-ons

Post #1by TobiSwia11102001 » 11.02.2022, 09:30

Hi. I have two questions and I would like to ask for your help:

-Can you give me some new textures and parameters for the rings of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neprun?
- Is it possible to somehow add new information to the objects of the solar system (temperature, cycle and so on)?

You can get updated content from the GitHub repository, as described here.

Celestia 1.7.0 supports a Temperature parameter, which overrides the calculated equilibrium temperature. I'm not sure what you mean by "cycle". If you mean orbital period, it is (and must be) defined in an object's ssc file; it can be displayed in Celestia using the Lua Tools or the info panel in the Qt frontend.

SevenSpheres, They are white. And shouldn't they be different?

What are white? The rings of the giant planets? Sounds like you're missing textures. Try downloading all files from the GitHub repository and replacing the files in your Celestia install, as described in the thread I linked.
