| You must describe stars in a catalog located in catalogs/planets folder (and do not forgot to include it in the universe.cfg). The catalog located in catalogs/stars folder you must describe only star system position and magnitude/luminosity (only StarBarycenter and RemoveStar is allowed). Read tutorial once again: http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/17-338-1

| I have some problem generating a triple star system. There is only one star that is appearing up and that is the A star. Can someone try and see what's the problem? The code is below, for the barycenter and the stars.
Barycenter
Code StarBarycenter "Lara System"
{
RA 21 31 33.52
Dec -05 34 16.25
Dist 2.02
NoPlanets true
}
stars
Code Star "Lara A"
{
ParentBody "Lara System"
AppMagn 8.5
Class "O2 V"
NoPlanets true // disable generation of procedural planetary system
Orbit
{
Type "Static"
Period 0.000001
SemiMajorAxis 0.0 // Semimajor axis in astronomical units
}
}
Star "Lara B"
{
ParentBody "Lara System"
AppMagn 7.5 // visual magnitude
Class "M3 V" // Spectral class
NoPlanets true // disable generation of procedural planetary system
Orbit
{
Period 5.0
SemiMajorAxis 5.9 // mass ratio 1.09:0.92
}
Star "Lara C"
{
ParentBody "Lara System"
AppMagn 14.6
Class "O4V"
NoPlanets true // disable generation of procedural planetary system
Orbit
{
Period 29.0
SemiMajorAxis 120.0
Inclination 18.5 // mass ratio 1.09:0.92
}
}

| You forgot to close the brackets under Orbit in Lara B's code.
I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.

| Also, "NoPlanets true" should be removed, since the stars themselves should be in a "planets" catalog, and therefore will prevent generation of procedural planets already.

| You can't. You can only create individual planets with life.
They let me use this!

Yes. There's no way to define procedurally in the star definition that its system must have life.
They let me use this!

| Okay, i created a very interesting star that is not originally in Space Engine. The star Gliese 710, currently located 63.8 light-years away from Earth. In about 1.36 million years, the orange dwarf star Gliese 710 will pass our Sun within only 1 light-year. It is possibly it will come closer than that. It will pass right within the Oort Cloud, which contains icy comets, a sphere surrounding the Sun in 1 light-year distance.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_710
Code Star "Gliese 710"
{
RA 18 19 50.84215
Dec -01 56 18.9841
Dist 20.2
AbsMag 8.23
Mass 0.6
Class "K7 Vk"
NoPlanets true
}
Here's an image of how close it will probably be in about 1.36 million years

| Chris94, you can't put "K7 Vk" as the spectral class, it must simply be "K7 V"
I will be inactive on this forum for the time being. Might come back eventually

At first, i thought that was possible. Doesn't Space Engine has the class "K7 Vk"?
Because that is the spectral class to Gliese 710.

| The k is rarely encountered and is irrelevant to the actual properties of the star, so there's no reason to include it.
