If you want stars past 16k you will have to do just what the evil one mentioned...repositioning your world coordinates. This will however mess up your original coordinates or make eveything outside the new 16k barrier clipped as before. Chris will have to redo 90% of his plotting code in order to break the 16k barrier with a whole new approach...Unless he knows something I dont I think there will always be a 16k barrier...Light positioning for one doesnt allow more than a floating point coordinate system. Unless SGI comes out with improved light positioning Chris will have to revamp Celestia...
I'm trying to teach the cavemen how to play scrabble, its uphill work. The only word they know is Uhh and they dont know how to spell it!
