What's going on ???

Post #1by ElChristou » 06.09.2005, 20:50

Hello guys,

I want to know if you are agree to resume what's going on around Celestia at this day. If you are actually doing something (coding, addons, textures, scripts) can you post here a few words/lines about this?

For my part as example, here my actuals works:

Celestia 1 (for educational addons) - in standby
Space Ship One - 60% over, in standby
Shuttle with stack - 95% over in standby
Shuttle open doors - 99% over in stanby (just for a while)
Liberty Bell 7 (prerelease done, final release soon)
Vostok 1 - 10% over work in progress

I have extensively revamped all Educational Activities and have added two more; the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, and the Primitive Earth and Moon. Both will be ready in about two weeks.

All Activities will be updated on the Motherlode and my own website in the coming two - three weeks.

Quite a lot is going on, just wait for a few days.

Toti and I have been working our "heads off" during the last several weekends. Besides the work, it's great fun (for me at least ;-) ) . Chris has no idea about all that yet. Unfortunately, the last communication both with Toti and myself was way back, on July 26, i.e exactly 6 weeks ago. We shall make a test version of the vast code modifications available in the Forum (also compiled for Windows).

I'm working on a new add-on called Miriad. Miriad has several planets smaller than Earth, but some are more dense than Earth. Also has some gas giants and outer icy/ammono worlds.

I'm finishing an educationnal addon about the day and night lenght along the seasons. This will be a complete addon (models, textures, ssc, ...) run by a celx script showing different menu interfaces and different activities. There will be also a DVD video with 6 chapters, each one refering to one of the addon activities... All this will be used in many french schools for 8 to ... year old pupils. They will be able to watch one chapter of the video, and then to use Celestia to do the corresponding activity.

I am working on a sort of science fantasy scenario. It will explore more of the "interactive book" concept i started with JTPS. This is a lot of work, so it won??t be completed before christmas, i think. After our recent discussions, i have started experimenting a lot with resolution and poly count, and this is a testing ground for that - so chances are, it will be a lot more user-friendly than some of my previous work...

I also have a 3-dimensional model of Jupiter on the drawing board, but i have no idea when it will surface; for now, i am just gathering data.

I'm currently working on revamping the ArcBuilder Universe star systems that are already on the Motherlode (in fact, Alpha Centauri A should be ready by later today).

Ptarmigan,

who do you think you are ? ElChristou is the starter of this discussion and he was asking a clear question. If you have nothing to say related to the topic, just post somewhere else. :roll:

On topic : I'm making some SF addons right now. It's about 50% to 75% done yet.

Hey,

here I am! You spit your poison at the wrong guy...

Unlike you, ElChristou has been most enjoyably constructive to this community recently! This includes plenty of hard work and a bunch of good ideas...

Just my two cents ;-)

Nope, just added one more. Anyways, I thought you needed a rest from me ! :wink: But seems that you may be feeling neglected !

So, did you not fathom danielj's meaning either ?

So, ? does that give him the right to dictate who should post what and to insert cryptic "???" in a post he declared should only be used for talking about the things one is doing ?

Unlike you, it seems I understood that cryptic pretty well, thinking about the same as Chris thought, I suppose:

>>Yes, Daniel, we ALL know that, but so WHAT???
The only way out is to ACTIVELY do something about it...<<

Do you really think that now is the appropriate moment to dispute about

Going ahead with this, I am sure you will also earn yourself the "sympathies" of some other users here. Just wait a little while ;-)

Ptarmigan,

what kind of person are you ? A moralist ? :roll: Your post has now destroyed that topic :evil:

Ptarmigan,

the ??? has two meanings; I don't know very well Danielj so I was wondering:

- if he is working on the prev7...

or

- if his post is in relation with the topic...

You are right, one can say watever he want on the forums, so do I...
Regarding Brendan's post, as I am the author of the thread, I consider I can "try" to focus on the topic...


IF it's really a problem for you,

I will ask you (just ask, if only you want, if it's not too much disturbing for you) to stay away from MY threads...

Reasons: I must confess I haven't done a search for your past posts to analyse what kind of person you are (don't have time, sorry), but latelly nothing interesting/good/positive came out your interventions...

Bye.
