New objects into Stellarium #1456

Open PascualSalvador opened 3 years ago

PascualSalvador commented 3 years ago

Hello, I'm interested on adding new objects into my Stellarium application by equatorial coordinates and give them my own names. Can you get me an orientation about how to do it?

Thanks

Looks like a duplicate of #976, or many earlier requests for user catalogs.

This is definitely similar to requesting a user catalog. Probably this is time to create a first version of plugin to user catalogs support.

PascualSalvador commented 3 years ago

Hello, I'd like to ask if there has been any news about this topic, a user catalog. Has been created that plugin already? I'm very interested in adding more features, add-ons, scripts, but I feel stuck on it. Do I need to learn Visual C++ to do it? I've learned Visual Basic and a bit of C a lot of years ago. Not sure if I could get success in programming these new features. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

Read and follow the linked #1816 to know more than I do.

I have downloaded the last version and realized that tool is available already, thanks a lot.

sednoids. Detached objects.

InternetWanderer505 commented 2 years ago

Those objects those indicated the existence of planet 9

gzotti commented 10 months ago

Not sure why this is still open.

alex-w commented 10 months ago

fixed objects like decorative fantasy stars with their own proper names can be added to the list displayed by the MissingStars plugin. This should be extended to load an optional file in USER_DIR/modules/MissingStars, and the chapter in the SUG should describe that.

Adding data into this plugin approved by developers only. I want to see similar plugin which added allowance for adding objects by users, with display these custom objects by markers or star-like objects.

gzotti commented 3 months ago

There could be an "official" list provided by developers which always gets loaded and displayed as regular stars, and a custom list in $USER_DIR/modules/MissingStars. Any GUI of the plugin or custom markers/symbols should act on the custom list only. With two plugins fulfilling almost the same purpose, much code will likely be copy-pasted around.
