Scripting questions (.cel)

[rifl]

Hello, scripters

I work since a long time with celestia, but i've never scripted before.
So I have some questions....

1.) Is ist possible to shut down the violet text? also the informationstext with details about the planets, the geograpic position and the time?
Is there any command, which i can use in a cel script?

2.) Is it possible to write a cel Script which never stops? Also a script which is runing continuoues?

3.) What's better? .cel or .celx ? - and pleas write why .celx is better! Are there any (Celestia)Comands which are not aviable in .cel?

Thanks, wfg RiFl

Hm, I thought that had been implemented, but apparently it isn't. So: no, that's not possible.

Not with CEL, you have to use CELX for that.

3.) What's better? .cel or .celx ? - and pleas write why .celx is better! Are there any (Celestia)Comands which are not aviable in .cel?

Most importantly CELX uses a fully featured programming language (Lua), so you can write interactive scripts which do something depending on the current state of Celestia (or e.g. keypresses)
