Any System Tour

Post #1by maxim » 16.08.2004, 07:36

'Any System Tour' is a small modification of Harald Schmidts 'Solar System Tour V1.1'.
In fact it's a modification of only one line ;)

Instead of only cruising the solar system, it now takes the currently selected object and visites it's children in subsequent order.
So you can cruise or test any star system you like, all moons of a certain planet, aso. .

It's a good way to get an overview of a new installed addon, be it Barzan, Cardassia, Billow Maiden or anything else.

Hi maxim,

I just tried this script on pre11 (WinXP) with jestr's Denorios Belt add-on with Denorios C selected. It says 0 seconds and 0 steps after showing nothing, even though this star has the Enterprise and Deep Space Station 9 orbiting it (defined as Planets when I right-click the star).

Yes, the script ignores spacecrafts. I think this was originally intended by Harald. I found another script that is based on the original - with more choices do make - , and I will see if I can merge it with some changes of mine.

Hi Maxim

I spent quite a bit of time earlier this year extending Harald's SolarSystemTour 1.1 so that it could tour any system in the way you have mentioned, including those with spacecraft. You may want to look at it before you do any more work on your script - no point re-inventing the wheel!

The discussion is at: http://216.231.48.101/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4676

The script can be downloaded from [url]http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/timmcmahon/celestia/SolarSystemTour_for1_3_2.zip
