COMMUNITY ADDON - binary/multiple stars fixes for SE

08 Sep 2017 04:12

Well, usually such fixes are indeed included in next versions, that's the point of this thread as stated in the original post :)
I only recently downloaded and became acquainted with SpaceEngine, so I am a newbie.
KIC 9832227 was featured in a news article that I came-across ... and if JackDole had uploaded a version of KIC 9832227 for SpaceEngine, eight months ago, why was I not able to find that binary star system, recently?

You mean in the program? Most of data about stars used in SE are from HIPPARCOS database which does not contain specifically info on binary stars, those have to be treated differently, by scripts as these ones above. But Space Engine does not have (yet) some automatic update feature for data. Space Engine 0980 data about binary stars are from July 2016, when this version was made available, so that's why you didn't find the star.
A patch recently published, 0980e, while adopting new algorithms for precise solar system orbits, it also came with updated data sets, but it has to be manually installed, as well as the others addons/fixes.

I will just wait for SpaceEngineer to determine which variant of KIC 9832227 he wants to include, in the next SpaceEngine version ... between the JackDole measurements/calculations or the Mosfet measurements/calculations ... or average of the two ... or SpaceEngineer's own variant of KIC 9832227.

Wow thanks, Jack, I think I have your Boom Star pak from earlier (is this the same one?)  Also, I remember asking you about Tabby's Star but it was not compatible with 0.980  Do we have one that is compatible with the patch?

Also, I have a little issue with accretion disks I need to ask about.  Mine do not "move" or "swirl."  Is this a consequence of setting Black Holes to "low"settings?

I do not know exactly, maybe it's something changed.
I remember asking you about Tabby's Star
Here is Tabby's star.
Also, I have a little issue with accretion disks I need to ask about.
The two stars are tide locked. As a result, the accretion disk also rotates slowly. Once in about 3.5 hours. If you accelerate the time something, it should turn. I do not know if that is realistic, in any case, it is what SpaceEngine makes of it.

Thanks Jack.  I think I saw you say you were going to make Dyson Spheres for the add-on? Should I just wait until then?

Also about the accretion disk, it happens with Sgr A also. How slowly should that one rotate?

I downloaded the Boom Star add-on in March, is this one more recent?

Me too.  He is an awesome contributor here.  If it's a question of funding (which I can understand, sometimes I put PC upgrades on the back burner because last year I was having a new roof put on my house and had to redo one of my bathrooms and the work ended up extending into this year), I wish he had a Gofundme page some of us could contribute to.

Yes.

The question is, however, whether it is still worth updating these things before version 0.990 is released.

I'm surprised Al Rescha (ALF PSC) hasn't been caught yet; I couldn't immediately find anything in the search function. Sneaky fella is on the wrong side of the Equator in 0.980. It's Dec should be +2, but it is Dec -2 instead. I couldn't figure out how to transfer all the names without triggering some duplicity bug, but here's a partial fix. Works ONLY in 0.980. It's wonky in e.
