  • Q: Import real star data into Cosmographer?

    It places a height symbol as the Stars in the Cosmo 3 style are. It expects the symbol catalog and the symbol name as input next, and then the location and height of the symbol.

    You can always try out such a command by typing it at the command line in CC3+.

  • Q: Import real star data into Cosmographer?

    That map was created via an excel sheet with the data, and a script file created from that data.

    Take a look in your CC3+ programdata folder in the "Scripts" subfolder. You should see a "stardata.xls" file and various script files. If you look at the spreadsheet that it contains all the commands and data which appear in the script files - the scr files where generated from that spreadsheet.

    In CC3+ you can create a new map, and then run the script via Tools > Macros > Script File to insert all the stars as symbols into the map. You will have to replace all # with @ in the script file first though, as that has changed in CC3+.

  • Live Mapping: Parchment City (CANCELLED)

    Yes, fixed it now. I usually re-use the Word doc of the previous month, and sometimes I don't delete the old stuff properly. :D

    And the streaming software is running properly again, so *fingers crossed* next week's session will happen properly.
