Hi,this is my first post on this forum,i downloaded Celestia quiet some time ago,shortly after 1.31 came out.Well im making my own imaginary Solar System and have these questions:
1.How do i put a ring on 1 of my planets?i tried copying the Ring Part from the Solar System Data thing from the Data folder,but when i copy it and paste it,and start celestia,my planet wont show(im guessing i did it wrong) so i deleted that part from my SSC file and it runs fine..
2.Is it possible to make a solar system with 2 Suns(or Stars)if it is,what and how.
3.Has the Celestia project stopped?the news site hasnt been updated since 1.31 came out.
Thanx.
How do i make a Ringed planet?
Ronny...of course you can...have a look at Rassilons generator. My ExtraSolar stuff isn't working at the moment but when it is there will be quite a few ringed ones.
A good starter is to look at the ssc for Saturn and take it further to match your needs. Looking forward to some screenshots!
Don't forget the texture packs...or try making your own...photoshop is good for this.

Not remotely. Chris releases 'pre-release' updates on this board before releasing the full version on the website. Pre6 is the latest one, I think.

It has lots of nifty new features, and generally works very well.

Just so you know about it yer Evilness, I'm currently using Pre7, so it has been posted. You should be able to find it around here somewhere.

Actually I have that too, but I thought it was just a tweaked executable release only so I didn't mention it - I forgot it was also a full install release too.
I stand corrected anyway - so yeah, use Pre7
