@levinli303 In the next two addon updates just below, remove all existing images and add only the additional metadata.
Updated Saturn (1979-2018) addon. Updated images and description ID: AC8D8F50-0955-AB25-1992-431B2B6CBF84
Description: This addon adds a alternative textures for the planet Saturn in 1979, 1981, 2004, 2008, 2011, 2013 and 2018 Additional Metadata:
Updated Uranus Largest Moons addon. Updated images ID: 76D938FC-997D-4949-1D09-AB69726A69E0
Additional Metadata: not in scale
Leave both updates under "Additional metadata" to help reduce confusion with the "Image" requirement
Proposal to move "HD 106906" (FF5AD8D8-43CD-FFFE-88AD-B389507D0B5E) into "Stars" category, since the default Celestia catalogs recognize it as a star rather than a planet
I added automatic conversion celaddon:// and celguide:// links in browser, so now all links in browser will be opened in browser instead of having to redirect to Celestia (except "Open in Celestia")
Proposal to move "HD 106906" (FF5AD8D8-43CD-FFFE-88AD-B389507D0B5E) into "Stars" category, since the default Celestia catalogs recognize it as a star rather than a planet
If that's the case something is wrong...
Also, maybe add trappistplanets' more realistic HD 106906 b?
@SevenSpheres We can keep both versions of HD 106906 b. The current one and also that of trappistplanets. Later I will upload the trappistplanets version.
@levinli303 Please remove the first image of the two updated addons. The images that have an arrow in the middle of them.

Thanks for fixing that, I didn't notice this problem until an hour ago.
I'm changing the submission format a bit to align with the data format underneath (items that are not marked optional are mandatory in a submission)

not sure what you mean. "Description (Legacy)" will is just a text that is plain text only, non-selectable, non-copyable on old clients. It is also the text used for twitter card or other metadata parsing service.

Updated Aquarius addon. Added COSPAR identification. ID: C4A98AE1-B599-37A6-EA8F-70109C6150F0 Link to download: Aquarius update.zip
@DaveBowman2001 A warning: In the Landsat 7, Landsat 8 and 9 addons there was a mistake in the SSC that was causing the satellite models not to appear in Celestia. In the SSC it was written differently from the original name of the models. It has now been fixed.
Can you specify which bug? Also, you don't have to remove the extra diffuse parts from TDRS and every other spacecraft that is dead in real life anymore. The bug which clutters the browser list has been resolved sometime ago for newer versions of Celestia Mobile, so any rogue duplicate names can no longer be seen there
As I mentioned before, the duplicates are meant to hide the spacecrafts' names once their end-of-mission is reached, thereby becoming derelict space junk
The bug was as follows, for example in Landsat 7:
In the SSC it said "landsat_7.cmod" But the real name of the model was actually Landsat 7.cmod
I didn't remove any diffuse objects from any of the addons. I just put the COSPAR ID and some extra name.
In the SSC it said "landsat_7.cmod" But the real name of the model was actually Landsat 7.cmod.
I see. Must have followed the Celestia Origin format and not the latest Forum version when it was first uploaded here
I didn't remove any diffuse objects from any of the addons. I just put the COSPAR ID and some extra name.
I stand corrected. Thank you
Not long ago, there was a similar problem with the asteroid 617 Patroclus, where the SSC said "roughsphere.cmod", but Celestia only accepts "roughsphere.cms". Consequently, the model was not visible on Celestia. Well, at least now these simple problems have been solved. It is enough to err a single letter or a single point in the SSC, DSC or STC that already causes problems.
Yeah, Celestia files are case sensitive when declaring filenames for models and textures. I swear I have typed roughsphere.cms
instead of roughsphere.cmod
at the time lmao. But oh well thank you for the fix!
Updated NGTS-12 addon. Textures, image and addon description have been updated. ID: A64C5352-04ED-9308-E41D-DDF536BE2FFE
Description: NGTS-12b is a gas giant exoplanet discovered in 2020, orbiting the star NGTS-12 about 1456 light-years away from Earth. It is believed that the planet is nearing the end of its existence, as it will be swallowed by its parent star, which is entering a subgiant phase. Link to download: NGTS-12 update.zip Image:
Title: Alpha Centauri B Description: Alpha Centauri Bb is a proposed exoplanet that would be orbiting the star Alpha Centauri B (Toliman) 4.37 light-years away from Earth. The possible discovery of the planet was announced in October 2012 by European astronomers. In October 2015, astronomers at the University of Oxford published a scientific paper refuting the existence of the planet, considering that it is very likely that the planet does not exist. If it really exists, it would be a planet similar in size to Earth, but very hot due to its proximity to Toliman.

Title: 40 Eridani Description: 40 Eridani Ab is a possible exoplanet orbiting the star 40 Eridani A (Keid A) about 17 light-years away from Earth. The exoplanet was discovered in 2018 and is a Super-Earth or a mini-Neptune. Therefore, its real existence is still questioned.

@DaveBowman2001 I don't know why, but the STS-41-C mission, which in this case is the SolarMax repair mission, is not appearing on Celestia, it simply doesn't appear in the browser or when searching for the mission name.
@DaveBowman2001 I don't know why, but the STS-41-C mission, which in this case is the SolarMax repair mission, is not appearing on Celestia
Yes, it doesn't appear because on its Timeline
code, that mission's OrbitFrame
will switch from Sol/Earth
to Sol/Earth/SolarMax
. Since the latter satellite isn't available yet, it would not appear. This is why I said that I will handle all the shuttle-related payload addons because these issues happen much significantly on Mobile
Once SolarMax becomes online, STS-41-C should now be able to appear in Celestia
Title: OAU: 40 Eridani Description (Legacy): This triple system near Sol is known variously as Keid or 40 Eridani. The first wave of colonists were refugees from the Technocalypse who arrived in 789 in arkships built by GAIA. Most colonists settled on Twilight, but a smaller fraction established colonies on the planet's L2 Lagrange point, and other neighboring worlds like Umbra and Orson Proposed category: Fictional: Orion's Arm Demo Object Name: Keid A Author(s): Steve Bowers, jmdollan Release date: 2006-Oct-17 Link to download: OA - 40 Eridani.zip Image: Additional metadata
