Rules and help

Admin's word

Happy to see here !

 

You'll find lot of informations for your addon.

 

Rules

First rules for your addon :

 

Use english language into your add-on.
Before, check the catalog to see similar addons, is your better quality ?

Your addon should be packaged in ZIP files with standard compression.

Your addon should work by decompressing it into Celestia's extras-folder.
Try to keep a little size for your addon (inf to 100 MB).

Did you include a README file which explains all details in texte format (see details below) ?
Use only letters, numbers, underscore, and minus in file names.
No rule for capitalization letters.

 

e.g. 'Addon_ex' =>zipped fle = addon_ex.zip

you'll find in :

addon_ex\star.stc eventually,

addon_ex\objects.ssc (planets, moons, asteroids, comets, starbases, ships, ...)

addon_ex\doc\readme.txt (your text file, see below)

addon_ex\doc\pictures1.jpg ...

addon_ex\models\model1.cmod, ...

addon_ex\textures\medres\planet1.jpg

addon_ex\textures\medres\planet1-night.jpg

addon_ex\textures\medres\planet1-bump.jpg

addon_ex\textures\medres\planet1spec.jpg, ..
 

Objects (if they exist) must be in cmod or 3ds format (in models directory)
Textures must be in textures/medres directory (jpg, png format).

We reserve the right to not offer an addon for download, or to remove it later.
 

All other things are imagination and quality...
