I heard about this 24 hours ago, and couldn't believe it - this is EXACTLY what has been missing from ESA. MASSIVE kudos to the ESOC MEX flight ops team for doing it

Hmmm. I am unable to get any of the MEX VMC Celestia scripts to run. After putting the .celx file into the 'scripts' folder and trying to run from Celestia, I get a fatal error that causes Celestia to crash.
For example, for the March 19th Celestia file (available here) When I try to run it, the error states " [string " scripts/2009-03-19_19.25_19.30.celx"]:5: unexpected symbol near '/' " I'm running Celestia version 1.5.1. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

This file appears to have been "escaped" for some reason. Special characters have been prefixed with an escape character, '\'. Notice the instances of '\"' and '\\'. I really doubt Celestia wants it escaped in such a way. It's needlessly verbose for a script file. Try opening the file in your favorite text editor, and doing a global search and replace, turning: \" into " \' into ' \\ into \ And any other escapes you might notice. Save that, and give it a shot. |
