Hi guys
Today I decided to make a bump map for Europa.
I made the map saved it into the hires folder and proceeded to edit the Solarsys scc file to direct it to read and display the said bumpmap texture.
At the same time I decided to "turn on" the bump and specular maps for earth as well.
Upon launching Celestia, I noticed that all planets beyond Jupiter had gone (including Europa). A major catastrophe had occured in the Celestia Solar System.
So, I decided to undo what I had done and Lo and behold...the next time I launched Celestia the missing planets were back.
What could have caused this behaviour?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Cheers and happy Easter

Hello Dante, this problem occurred me a lot of times, mostly at the beginning of my trying to modify ssc or cel files.
You made a mistake, exactly BETWEEN Io and Europa data.
So check if you missed closing one curly bracket or something else. To do it check with the unmodified solarsys.ssc file.
I'm sure that this will solve your problem.
Bye and good luck.

Thaks Andrea, I??ll try that...
