Puck and Larissa models how to work

Post #1by danielj » 17.08.2003, 23:59

I have downloaded the Puck and Larissa models in Jack?s site,followed the instructions,but the models aren?t working.Larissa would be more like a sphere,but it isn?t.Should I change the solarsys.ssc entries?If so,how can I do that?

Daniel, may i just say..
You have about six or seven post going at the moment, all within five days, and all about failed attempts at Celestia add-ons and textures.

Why dont you slow down a bit, and learn how to use these add-ons,
and how to edit the ssc files, and edit one thing at a time.

then when that is solved move on to another add-on, untill you learn how to edit Celestia properly.

Slow down, take your time, and edit one thing at a time, for now.

you seem to have jumped in far too deep :wink:

2 things Daniel J:

(This applies to everyone though not just you)

There are instructions included with all of my downloads (apart from a few which were "experimental" etc.) The reason the instructions are there is to help you if you're stuck...

Heres what the puck, larissa instructions say:

To install these two models:
1. Copy the 3ds files into Celestia's "models" folder
2. Delete the existing "Puck" and "Larissa" sections in minormoons.ssc
3. Replace them with the "Puck" and "Larissa" sections in larissapuck.txt, included in this zip.


And there's also a text file with the new entries in it.

And the other thing... If you're having problems with an individual addon, contact the person who made the addon first (i.e. me). I don't mind getting queries from new users, & i try to help out everyone as best I can. So do all the other addon creators...
