Pulsar Sounds Tour (pre)

[Bob Hegwood]

You told me some time ago that you can start cel-scripts by typing the scripts filename and path into the adress line of the browser. If you type the name of the actual displayed script into the controller window and hit return - what happens?

That's what I'm trying to tell you now... If I let the script bring up the the next
cel script in the controlling browser window, THEN if I press the "GO" button
in IE, the cel script is brought up and run in Celestia.

Take care, Bob

Maxim,

Hold off on tearing your hair out for a little while...

Mr. G has opened my eyes to a file association problem that exists on my PC.
It may be that I can cure this problem by un-installing and re-installing Celestia.

I think I'm going to give it a try and see what can be accomplished. I have
three cel associations listed on my system. One for cel files, one for cel" files
(note the quotation mark), and one for celx files.

Methinks the problem lies within *my* system, and NOT in your scripts.

Edit: OH HAPPY DAY... Mr. Maxim, your Pulsar scripts now work PERFECTLY
on my Brain-Dead machine. We can thank Mr. Don G(enius) for the fix. He
suggested that I un-install Celestia and re-install it, and this worked perfectly.
I have *no* idea why the associations were screwed up to begin with, but they
are certainly okay now. I'm a Happy Brain-Dead Bob, now.
Cheers Maxim, and thanks to the G-Man for his undying patience with this old
geezer. The Pulsar Tours are COOL man.

Thanks, Bob

Hey Bob,

thats really good news. You're encouraging me - there's more stuff for beeing included that way into a celestia tour script. Hopefully this may be the culprit for others problems too.

Now I've got to make sure that it's works too on linux and mac machines.

greetings,

maxim

After checking the box and clicking on "Go", I got several seconds of electronic music but then it stopped. There was no change of viewpoint.

I tried several of the html files. They created sound but no motion.

Hi Selden,

If you are still reading this thread ...

A while back (Feb?) one of the pre-releases fixed a Registry bug that had existed in previous versions. Since you are a believer in the re-name current dir and simply over-install an updated Celestia without UNinstalling the current version -- I would recommend that you do an UNinstall at some point (which deletes specific Registry keys) and a fresh install.

This *might* allow you to run maxim's add-ons, as it did for Bob.

Cheers,
