This screenshot is cropped from one in the thread I linked. Are you sertrey? If so, can you post from that account to confirm your identity?

trappistplanets wrote:why don't you think it works in a 32 bit system?

Because it may be a 64-bit version of Celestia. Stop asking me about it, just try it and see if it works.

trappistplanets wrote:any way to get one that works in a 32 bit system?

If the one in that thread works on a 32-bit system, yes. Otherwise, no.

trappistplanets wrote:how do i get celestia ep and what download link do i hit to get it for 1.6.1?

Download Archive.zip posted by Markerz. It may not work on a 32-bit system though.

OMG
only if [damn] sprites were friends with my pc that would look nice from nearby planets

That doesn't use sprites, it's just stars, rendered in Celestia EP.

Sockpuppet of jujuapapa.

trappistplanets and others, please note that the OP appears to be copied from here and is most likely spam. I'm waiting for confirmation of this (i.e. a spam link edited into the post).

Try reading the scripting guides on Wikibooks. In this case you want to write a script that goes through every galaxy in Celestia's database, and marks each galaxy that has a distance less than or equal to 10 million light-years. Also: can you not create so many threads please Actually Gurren made t...

Both of you stop this now , before it escalates into an argument. Trappist, Gurren is correct that you shouldn't make addons just to get them in CO. Posting links to all your addons in the CO thread isn't a serious offense, but it is annoying. Just post addons in their own threads; the CO devs will ...

and is it safe to have 2 functioning celestia installs?

Yes, I have more than two Celestia installs and have never had any issues like what you described.

(i had my celestia installed in my documents, not the desktop [which was] where my backup files were)

I don't know. That certainly shouldn't happen.

how do i back up my files so i can add them to 1.7 because during the time my 1.6.1 broke and i had to reinstall it and i backed up my files those got messed up, like it replaced my textures with the junky default ones, and deleted lots of my addons in the backup files Just put 1.7 in a different f...

trappistplanets wrote:and how do i do that without breaking celestia or any of my modified files like addons, textures and other stuff

I don't recommend doing it at all. It's much easier to set up Celestia 1.7, as described in the thread I linked.

why does the [damn] render [limit] even exist There are technical reasons for this, which have been described elsewhere on the forum. why is celestia the only space sim that has a render limit? I doubt that's the case. anyway to remove the render limit all together so i can render a star system out...

Is there any way i can get 1.6.1 to render things as far out as M87 or farther ? if so, what do i edit/modify in the files to force celestia to render stars and planets that far out on 1.6.1? You would have to modify the source code and recompile Celestia. is there a 1.7.0 setup install for windows...

trappistplanets wrote:is the render [limit] here bigger [than] 1.6.1?

The star render limit for all 1.6.x versions is the same - 10 million light-years.

trappistplanets wrote:what is the twitter even for?

Increasing visibility of Celestia content.

ssamsamm, Celestia 1.7 is still in beta, which is why there's no download link on the website. You can find installation instructions here.
