Look to my solarsys.ssc :

Texture "venusmap.jpg"

# BumpMap "venusbump.jpg"
HazeColor [ 0.5 0.35 0.2 ]
HazeDensity 0.35
Radius 6052

Atmosphere {
Height 60
Lower [ 0.8 0.8 0.5 ]
Upper [ 0.6 0.6 0.6 ]
Sky [ 0.8 0.8 0.5 ]

}

CustomOrbit "vsop87-venus"
EllipticalOrbit {

}

RotationPeriod 5832.479839
Obliquity 178.78
EquatorAscendingNode 300.22

The clouds are not appearing.What I did wrong?

Another thing :
I tried to chance venusmap.jpg for Venus.dds and put a cloudmap in Venus,but it didn?t work.Sometimes the clouds are indefined,others the surphace disappear.Can you help me?

I have Celestia 1.3.0 and Venus is the only problem I can?t change the texture.

There is no CloudMap in the Atmosphere declaration. It looks like you deleted it.

The version of solarsys.ssc that comes with Celestia v1.3.0 includes clouds around Venus. To see them, you have to enable clouds in the Render/View Options menu.

You should always keep a copy of the original file so you can see what changes you've made.

Here's what it should be:

Code: Select all

   Atmosphere {
      Height 60
      Lower [ 0.8 0.8 0.5 ]
      Upper [ 0.6 0.6 0.6 ]
      Sky [ 0.8 0.8 0.5 ]
      CloudMap "venus.jpg"
      CloudHeight 50
      CloudSpeed  90
   }
