Thanks Phunnie, do I need to replace the files I downloaded lol (800k, 2M and 5M) or are those the same as before?  I downloaded them on the same day I made that post thanking you- 12/8 or 12/9 I think. I see this in the changelog- also there is no 28M star file.  You can go higher with stars than ...

Well I got super side-tracked and ended up deciding to cut a flat cross section of the plane of the milky way to maybe get a glimpse of where the nearest dust "clouds" are. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/355433678261714945/522515074913402943/scr00341.png and well while doing that I...

25140 Updated to V2.9. All details in changelog. Can you publish the new program you used to create the new catalogs? And the parameters necessary for the Gaia query? I'll need to make some changes to the code so it takes into consideration the new HR diagram based algorithm I've implemented and co...

You could, it might take a while to load because SE will have to delete a substantial amount of duplicate stars. I'll keep that idea in mind and I might make other paks in the future when I'll have time. I do really want to make a pak with giants and above only, as well as some based on apparent ma...

Well for one it is the most incomplete thing on earth, and is only useful for one thing. Converting a specific SE catalog to another specific SE catalog. The one I used for clusters is even worse. It has one for creating a cluster and one for removing it from the main sheet. It's also wirtten in C++...

What do you mean? If you mean FFT's catalog and the the one I posted, yes they can be used without any issues together. They can still both be used with default catalogs too, but might cause some warnings. Nothing to worry about, it will not impact your performance or gameplay. SE has a mechanism th...

25136 No idea, I don't get those errors. The ' x7V ', ' x4V ' (and so on) errors are in your ' 2M.csv ' file. (I have not tested the other big files.) (The ' 800k.cs v' file contains an 'x7V' error.) There were less errors in the 5M pak file, but I still counted 59 spectral class errors as well as ...

Updated to V2.9. All details in changelog.  Basically just replaced the way spectral classes are assigned and also diversified the spectral classes. Please leave any bugs or suggestions in this thread. I'll try to do things as fast as I can. Finals are soon though, so I'll try to do things whenever ...

Ah. I see them now. Thanks Jack. I'm currently working on redoing the spectral classes using the HR...

For Phunnie- when were the latest updates made to the files? In the changelog it doesn't specify that.  I downloaded the files on 11/26 were there any changes made after that? No. I haven't had much time. Also, in the screenshots, the 3M version looks a lot more detailed than the 5M version- is tha...

Oh I thought you could just graph them on the H-R diagram if you knew their absolute magnitude and color index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertzsprung%E2%80%93Russell_diagram#/media/File:HRDiagram.png In this diagram you can plot them just by knowing those two things. Color Index (B-V) correspond...

Omg thats huge, one billion stars is more massive than any planetarium program I know of. One question I have is when the data is fully processed will all the spectral types and classes of stars be known?  I would hope that was part of the initial collection of data, as thats pretty essential.  It'...

Guys its (probably) not (just) the cpu.. the program runs out of usable RAM. The moment it hits 3+ gigs of RAM usage it quits to desktop. I have a monster CPU and have the same fate.. I tried the 5M database and even when I disable proc+cat. galaxies, proc.stars & proc clusters I can go up to ~...
