Did you put darkasteroid.jpg in the textures>medres folder?

I'm not sure about this, but maybe the asteroid.cms has his own texture, and you can't change it. maybe you have to make an asteroid mesh that has your texture. Am I right?

Nope- only 3ds models can have defined textures, but no asteroid models (Except Hektor) have them. I could put an earth texture on Eros/Ida/anything if I wanted...

I did this,but didn?t worked.It?s strange;Celestia treated darkasteroid.jpg the same way as asteroid.jpg

Um.. Try deleting out the "Color" line- that might work...

where did you get this texture called DarkAsteroid.jpg from ?

Actually,I didn?t get anywhere.What I did was rename the Asteroid_D.jpg from Asteroids.zip to darkasteroid.jpg.
About the low res file,I get it from a old topic, exactly I get it from http://webpages.charter.net/myrkwood/ce ... teroid.jpg
About the colour texture,I read about in the Topic Dark Asteroid from Troy,in August 6,2002,in the Textures forum.
Did I do anything wrong?
