The Life and Death of Stars - Educational Activity is ready
Re: The Life and Death of Stars - Educational Activity is re
I downloaded only part A,and it works fine.But the star is twinkling,oscillating between the protostar texture and a bright white globe.Is it right?
Other thing,the protoplanet textures are not in the ssc file,only the specular in the VA Moon.
And finally,I went back to fsregs.org/celestia and the activity isn?t there anymore.There are only activities 3.2 and 4.2 available to download.Did you change the place?
Other thing,the zip file I download didn?t have any instructions;only the ssc,the models and some textures

I have reorganized the Activity and its add-ons. It was temporarily removed from the site but is now back on it. The problem is with add-ons. Sometimes people get them from different sites and not everyone calls them by the same name. As such, it is possible I could provide an add-on of a black hole or some other object under one name, that was provided months ago by someone else under another name. Both may then appear in your extras folder and both will try to be loaded by Celestia in the same spot at the same time. This will cause the switching/flashing that you report. I suspect that you have two add-ons of the same object being drawn by Celestia in the same spot. One of them will have to be removed.
I have tried to improve this situation by re-organizing the add-ons I provide. I hate to suggest this, but open your extras folder, locate and delete all of the add-ons you previously downloaded as Activity 6.2, revisit my website and download, unzip and install them again. Make sure you unzip them directly into the Celestia main folder, NOT into the extras folder. Also, make sure you clean out your extras folder of any suspected duplicate add-ons, before you download this fresh set.
I hope this works.

Frank
