Any Jovian Chronicles add-on ?

Post #1by Mutos » 20.05.2006, 05:54

Hi all,


I'm a great Jovian Chronicles fan. Is there a Celestia add-on for this excellent sci-fi universe ? For instance the Alexander, Forge and Valiant ships could be great ! I've searched the web for this and found nothing, neither on Celestia-related sites nor on DP9-related sites.

If you go to the DP9 forums at http://www.dp9forum.com there's a Fan Art board... maybe you can persuade someone there to convert their models to a format readable in Celestia and import it.

There's not much to convert otherwise - since it's set in our own solar system (which is already there) all you need are the ships, exos and stations...

Hi Malenfant, hi all,


I'll try that... I already know of a fine Valiant model and I heard somewhere about Alexander and Forge, but as to the format :?: :?: :?:

Hi bh,


3ds I know, but what is cmod ? There's a format.txt somewhere in Chris's site that defines this format so I guess it might be a Celestia proprietary fomat.
