Obtaining Celestia Data

Post #1by J. Ostroski » 16.09.2004, 06:59

Hello,
I would like to obtain the data that Celestia uses that pinpoints locations of all of the objects it displays. I am writing a online multiplayer game and would like to have an accurate representation of a space playfield.
An XML file is most desired but I will take anything that I can convert.

Thank you for your time.

Hello,
Celestia uses different info based on the type of object displayed. Please see http://celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/d ... ation.html for information about the types of data that the program uses and how they are stored (mostly in text files included with the distribution.)

Cheers,
Joe
