The Stellarium script ("newgrange_script.ssc”), once installed, will allow the user to toggle between two different Newgrange landscapes, an exterior view and an interior view.

NOTE: These instructions presume that the two paired Newgrange landscapes (interiorNewgrange.zsp, and exteriorNewgrange.zip) have been installed into Stellarium. Quit Stellarium before installing the script.


Windows Installation:

NOTE: Running the file "Newgrange_Install.bat" should automatically install the "newgrange_script.ssc" file in Stellarium's "scripts" folder. The following steps should be used only if the .bat file does not work as intended for your installation.

1. Navigate to the Stellarium install folder. By default this is hidden, so you'll want to press Windows-R, and type in %appdata%. This will put you in Appdata/Roaming, so back up one file and go into Appdata/Local.
The standard Stellarium script installation location is Appdata/Local/Programs/Stellarium/scripts. 

2. Drop the "newgrange_script.ssc" file into this folder.

3. Launch Stellarium. Ignore the "shortcut key" message that appears. Press the Configuration Window button on the bottom left (or press F2) and click the Scripts tab. 

4. Search for "newgrange" The script will then appear, and you can then can run it.

5. Now set a shortcut key to run the script. To do that, press F7 to open up shortcuts, then search "newgrange" in that menu. Then set whatever shortcut key (perhaps "windows-c" or "command-c") you would like for the script. Hitting that key combination will now toggle between the interior and the exterior of Newgrange.
