Amendments and errata

Amendments can be made by modifying or adding new data to the files located in ammendmentFactory.

  • To amend data of existing stars, add your change to amendAsNeeded.js.
  • To add a new star that isn't generated at all, add your star to loopThroughCustomStars.js.

In order for an amendment to be effective, the name used to identify the object needs to be consistent or we'll end up with multiple amendments overwriting each other. Specifically, we need to avoid referring to a single celestial body by more than one name.

Standard

The standard for overrides followed in this catalog are as follows:

Refer to the object by its generated line ID. In case we ever need to verify information, we 3 fallback names need to be specified as well. If the object has fewer than 3 names, specify all of them as fallbacks. At least 1 fallback name needs to be specified for and change to be accepted.

Add a comment (using //) stating why this change was made. Changes without reason will not be accepted.

Please keep line numbers in numeric order when adding data.
