maximum # of objects showing?

Post #1by doctrellor » 17.08.2006, 23:25

my old .ssc had 12 major asteroids, 1 Hot Jovian and 1 planet

Now the new .ssc I added 3 comets, so now only the asteroids and 1 of the comets show...

Is there like a limit of ~15 objects to show?

If so, then how does a system like Sol get to have so many? What is the way to break an .ssc into chunks.. like 1) Asteroids, 2) Comets, 3) Planets 4) Kuiper Belt stuff and be able to show everything?

There's no limit . . . It's possible that there's an error in your .ssc file. Start Celestia, and press the ~ (tilde) key to bring up the console. Are there any error messages? You scroll the console with the up and down arrow keys.

loads of duplicate errors, I guess all the add-ons I downloaded had a bit to do with that...lol

I went back to my old .ssc to get my planets back to see what I screwed up on..

thx
