Celestia Forums

I've installed Jestr's 64K VT textures (1-4) and followed what seemed to be simple installation instructions. I start Celestia and right click the Earth and select his new texture. The Earth turned white!
I read another topic explaining how to check the OpenGL info for the texture size. Well mine is 1024, so whats the deal? Why does it show up as a white sphere? Please help. Thanks in advance.

magickbull,
what graphics card do you have
what operating system
what amount of memory

offer the wise ones these few crumbs, they may answer your call

You might want to consider reading section 6 (Common Addon Problems) of
http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celest ... intro.html
and section 2.5 (Virtual Textures) of
http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/textures.html

Essee, my system specs:
Windows XP
AMD Athlon XP 1800
Nvidia TNT 16MB
256MB RAM

I guess I'm about to answer my question:
This is quoting from the http://www.lepp.cornell.edu site:

"Make sure that it is a format that your graphics card can display. DDS texture files can only be shown by cards that were designed in the past few years. Cards made by 3dfx, for example, can't show them."
