Questions about adding galaxies

Post #1by Spaceboy » 03.08.2005, 15:48

Does anyone know how to add a galaxy add-on correctly? I've tried with Jim's M31 and M104 (both versions), but all I can see is the code that appeared on the screen. :( I don't know why they don't work, because I followed up the "install_me text" or what's it called. So I have put them in the extra folder, created an new map, and put them in the data/models/medres folder. Still of no use. :evil: Mind you, I've installed it accordingly. Then I thought, maybe it's because of the deepsky.dsc that the program is confused what to pick. It could be I've disabled with # wrong. The problem is that he can't find them.

Can someone or anyone please help me?
I'm quite dejected at the moment.

Please take the time to read
http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celest ... board.html
and
http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celest ... intro.html

They should help you to understand how to install the addons, whether or not the readme files that come with them are correct.
