Cel values &ts, &ltd, &rf, and &lm

[newbe]

Does anyone know the meaning of each of these values? &fov was easy but the others are a bit cryptic.

[newbe]

I've partly solved the values, which I need for the script generator.
Any help will be appreciated.

Binary translations of Cel Values.
Values can be extracted mathematically by example [ 38807 and 2 = true ]

ts is "timescale"
ltd is light time delay
The value 2048 for renderflags is "Show Stars As Points"
There also exists the value 131072 for "Show Partial Trajectories"
The value 128 for Labels is for "Location Labels"

HTH, and a happy new year!

Thanks Harald!!

Still making progress.

Having trouble with Celestia's command line function

" --once ./celestia --url VenusTour.cel"
VenusTour.cel is in the root C:\Program Files\Celestia\

Think I'm missing something here!

Shatters crashed before I Downloaded the Celestia User Guide.

I figured out the problem with the shell. All material I've found gave unneed data in command line.

The generator is moving along good, should,'t be much longer. But I'll test for a while before releasing.

It boils down to writing the script using Celestia.

press ctrl-C and it does most of the work.

It writes a script not just stuff a seturl.
