greenhand,
your editor uses the wrong font code page. You must use the font code page 1252.
Your star script looks with me like this:
/// Create a new object – a solitary star.
Star “Gentleâ€
{
RA 16 10 45 // right ascension
Dec -25 12 11 // declination
Dist 100.0 // distance from the Sun
Class “G5V†// spectral class
Lum 0.86 // luminosity, or
//AbsMagn 5.31 // absolute magnitude, or
//AppMagn 10.31 // visual magnitude
RadSol 0.95 // radius in Solar radii
MassSol 0.91 // mass in Solar masses
Teff 5200 // surface temperature in Kelvins
}
// Create a new object – a solitary star (black hole) with extra
// parameters (accretion disk) in the planets catalog. Note
// what it’s name here is “Hole systemâ€, read below why.
StarBarycenter “Hole systemâ€
{
RA 09 31 14 // right ascension
Dec 64 16 38 // declination
Dist 250.0 // distance from the Sun
Class “X†// spectral class – black hole
Lum 150 // luminosity of the whole system (accretion disk)// That’s enough, accretion disk will be described in the planets catalog (see below).
}
// Remove solitary stars from the older catalogs.
Remove “Bin Aâ€
Remove “Bin Bâ€
// Create a new object – a barycenter of a binary star system,
// which components will be described in the planets catalog (see below).
StarBarycenter “Binâ€
{
RA 19 50 18 // right ascension
Dec 28 18 47 // declination
Dist 251.652 // distance from the Sun
// That’s enough, StarBarycenter tag may not have other parameters (see below).
}
It must look like this:
// Create a new object - a solitary star.
Star "Gentle"
{
RA 16 10 45 // right ascension
Dec -25 12 11 // declination
Dist 100.0 // distance from the Sun

}
// Create a new object - a solitary star (black hole) with extra

StarBarycenter "Hole system"
{

Class "X" // spectral class - black hole

}
// Remove solitary stars from the older catalogs.

Remove "Bin B"

StarBarycenter "Bin"
{
RA 19 50 18 // right ascension

Dist 251.652 // distance from the Sun
// That's enough, StarBarycenter tag may not have other parameters (see below).

The manual seems to use a different codepage. Therefore, the quotation marks (") must be corrected when you copy code from the manual. Possibly also hyphens (-) and apostrophes (').
