Actually, I used my birthdate and the Hex number as the HIP number in the Cold Fusion page I was using to write out the STC file.
(It works out to "12768nnnn")
Celestia interprets that as a Tycho Number...*shrug*
I also used a random Declination, ranging from +5* to -5* from the ecliptic, thinking that would be enough for some random variation, yet not so much that the "1 parsec" distance from a +5* to a -5* Star would be so elongated as to be more than an actual 'Jump-1' (...which I define as 3.26 LY give/take 49%. Not *every* Jump-1 will be exactly 3.26 LY, I'm sure.)
Maybe you Dr. Math Types could give me a better idea of how much "Declination Variation" I could get away with, and still stay within 4.85 LY for a "one parsec" distance between two stars at a distace of around 85 LY from origin?
I.E: Maintain "Jump-1" between Zeycude and Reno (Chronor), as measured from Arba/Lunion (Origin)
Textures: I'm using the default textures for most of the planets in the Yori system for now (though I did a custom one based on Mars - but it kinda sucks. I'm planning on redoing it later.)
I used Crow's texture for Regina this afternoon, with a double-size Earth-Cloud texture...
I'm also starting work on a Cold Fusion page that will go out to Foreven.com, grab a page for a given system, then parse it out and write the associated *.ssc file, but that may be a ways off, or potentially impossible...
I'm also looking for a way to take a standard Traveller Map and convert it into the equatorial-projection that Celestia's Textures use.
*Finally*, add this below the definition for Yori/Dectura/Yori-Downport in the Yori_Regina_SM.ssc file.
