Celestia Forums

I downloaded the 4k Jupiter Surface Texture and the Europa VT Surface Map, 8k Europa Spec Map and 8k Europa Normal Map (all from John van Vliet). I put them in the "extras" folder in my Celestia folder and created the .ssc files.
But somehow, I can't turn both the surface texture of Jupiter and the VT of Europa on on the same time, it's either Jupiter's alternative surface or Europa's.

Here are my .ssc files:

4kjupiter.ssc:

AltSurface "4kjupiter" "Sol/Jupiter"
{
Texture "4kjupiter.png"
}


EuropaVT.ssc:

AltSurface "Europa VT" "Sol/Jupiter/Europa"
{
Texture "Europa.ctx"
SpecularTexture "8kEuropaSpec.png"
NormalMap "8kEuropaNormal.png"
SpecularColor [ 0.35 0.5 0.55 ]
SpecularPower 15.0
}

Everything else works fine, so i think it's a configuration problem.

Would be nice if somebody could help me.

PS:
from solarsys.ssc:

"Jupiter" "Sol"
{
Texture "jupiter.*"
[...]
}


"Europa" "Sol/Jupiter"
{
Texture "europa.*"
[...]
}

AltSurface "limit of knowledge" "Sol/Jupiter/Europa"
{
Texture "europa.*"
OverlayTexture "europa-lok-mask.png"
}

If any additional information is required to solve the problem please let me know.

Only one AltSurface name is active at a time. That AltSurface name applies to all bodies.

In orther words, change the names of your AltSurface definitions to use the same name for both, perhaps HiresAltSurface.

e.g.


Then when you select "HiresAltSurface" both Jupiter and Europa will display their improved images simultaneously.

Thank you very much selden It works perfectly now.
Life's hard as a n00b... you look at the data all the time and tweak this and that but you can't see such an obvious reason

glad to see that you got it working
