as a user of both celestia and SE, i can confidently say that this is pointless. not only are the hd addon packs a better option, as vlad said, but it would be a significant undertaking to make celestia origins resources compatible with SE. celestia uses the equirectangular projection for its textures, but SE uses cubemaps. easy enough to just get a converter and convert them, right? uh, not when you have dozens and dozens of textures it isnt! and celestia uses a proprietary model format called cmod (but i think CO might have converted all their models to obj and 3ds? im not sure) and it isnt compatible with SE, obviously. converting cmod files to mainstream formats like obj, dae, and 3ds is a real pain in the rear, so dont even think about doing it with the hundreds of models that CO uses. and then theres the pain of trying to convert celestias ssc, stc, and dsc catalogue files to SEs sc and pak files. seriously, this just isnt a good idea and it wouldnt be worth it in the end. CO is made for celestia and celestia only, it wont work with SE
also, if this counts as necroposting then i apologise
Tell me, Dr. Freeman, if you can. You have destroyed so much. What is it, exactly, that you have created? Can you name even one thing? I thought not.
