Celestia Forums

you can almost see my House, in one of those pictures

out of all the image files

What one would be the best to use for the planet textures,
to make Celestia run as smooth as posible ?

I know JPG's are slow decompressing

But what about dds, bmp, png, or tiff ?

and what would be there good and bad points, for this program ?

Nope, still not working

Sounds good to me Don

And that looks great

Im still a bit new to this anyway
What is the best file type to use DDS, or PNG

I know that JPG's take longer to load, but thats about it.

Hey Toofri, where might I be able to get that Mars texture you have ?

Hey Rassilon,
Here is a link to my Triton Texture if you want it.

Does anyone have a nice quality DDS file of Blue Mars
that they would share with me ? Please....

Wow some nice shots there SumO

I will have to start making some fantasy solarSystems.

Thank you Selden
works a treat

Chris, are you going to add a link to this on the main Celestia page
or do we have to bookmark it ?

Cool I like this.. thank you Chris.

Here is a link to all the galleries http://ennui.shatters.net/gallery/albums.php

just a question, are there any restrictions as to size of file, and image resolution ?

Ahhh! dont be like that mike. dont listen to them.
Some people just hate fun

Not like this forum has thousands of members
and thousands of posts eveyday is it...

here is my Start.cel it waits for 5 seconds then the logo fades, then it sets off for Earth. then rotates around it for 5 seconds. works perfect { wait { duration 5.0 } timerate { rate 100 } select { object "Sol/Earth" } follow {} goto { time 5 distance 3.5 upframe "equatorial" } wait { duration 0.5...

Bloody hell, guys
I thought my Directory was big

the bigest file I have is a 43 meg Earth.dds file




What is "Mostly Harmless" all about

How big has your Celestia directory grown, since you first installed it.
after adding new textures and add-ons, and so on..

My directory is now 140 meg

When it's finished

You must have some kind of video problem
I dont get this bug at all

So I would think it is your end..

some of my favorite asteroids are Toutatis, and Castalia
But I love to watch Ida, from its own orbiting asteroid Dactyl

I am useing a Microsoft Intellimouse 5 button opticalmouse, with a wheel as mouse button 3. as for the exe's I have 1.2.4 full, 1.2.5b2, and 1.2.5b3. the FOV works in both 1.2.5 beta versions, but not in 1.2.4, for me. I just move the FOV: to a funky view and hit the mouse wheel to set it instantly ...

The 16k DDS earth file at the top of the page, has everything in it
