Is there any way to render a line between two points, like a constellation?
I do not know if there is a script command that can generate such lines, but I know a very nasty hack.
You need a file called '
Constellations.cfg' in the directory '
addons\catalogs\stars'.
In this file you write something like this:
// Line test
// JackDole 2019.09.18 00:51:25
Constellation "Empire"
{
//Zodiacal false
//LabelPos (0.36, -71.06)
Lines
{
"Raven" "Black Rose"
"Black Rose" "Hiszs"
"Hiszs" "JDV 00035"
"JDV 00035" "JDV 00043"
"Raven" "JDV 00049"
}
}
The lines will only be visible when the constellations are turned on.
But all other constellations have disappeared!
If you want to keep them, you need to extract the file '
Constallations.cfg' from the '
Catalogs.pak' archive and attach your file to this file and then save it in '
addons\catalogs\stars'.

You may have to change these lines in the '
main-user.cfg'. (The maximum value for 'ConstelLinesFadeEnd' is 1e + 06 parsec.)
ConstelLinesFadeStart 4000 // distance, at which constellation lines starts to fade out (parsecs)
ConstelLinesFadeEnd 10000 // distance, at which constellation lines ends to fade out (parsecs)
