Don't worry, John still doesn't understand some things about Celestia (like how to show planets beyond a light-year)

I completely agree. Problems can occur only when using a format DDS. In other formats allowed different image resolution.FarGetaNik wrote:John, is there really a good reason to only use power-of-2 textures? I've never had any problems or performance issues with non-power-of-2 textures. Sometimes the source material is in a different size and rescaling it either negatively effects image quality or file size.
Yes, this is a big problem. These textures are not real colors, but are close to them. I was based on photos with high veracity of a realistic view of Jupiter.FarGetaNik wrote:For the lack of an absolute reference and highly individual color channels and surface structures that change for each texture, it took me much effort to get close to a consistent result.

I do not understand your sentence. These is parameters are ready? Or you asking me to update them?LukeCEL wrote:Art Blos, you know how you added 10 globular clusters to the Magellanic Clouds? Can you update NGC 121 with this new definition, which includes results from Glatt et al. (2009):

I'll ask differently.LukeCEL wrote:I am asking you to update them, yes.
Thank you, but any asteroid we can make ourselves. The most famous Potentially Hazardous Asteroids we have.toutatis wrote:I want to suggest an Add-on to Celestia that I wrote... this Add-on called "PHA (Potentially Hazardous Asteroids)"... the folder contains ssc and xyz-files... Currently it will displays 1200 potentially hazardous objects ... and it will more with each day! ... Parameters of the orbits for the epoch 2458200,5 (March 23, 2018, 00: 00TDB)... Works with Celestia Origin too...

OK. We will update.LukeCEL wrote:I'm reporting new data. I don't want to update it via the Motherlode right now.
