Atmosphere & Oblateness bug
Posted: 24.12.2002, 20:15
I playing around with various for jupiter in solarsys.ssc and found a bug in atmosphere renedering (i assume it is a 2d effect)
well apparently the atmospher is always circular no mater how oblate the planet is
i've seen this problem in the windows versions 1.2.4 and 1.2.5p7
this probly isn't a problem for most planets and is not very visible unless exajurated
here is a pic (from v1.2.5p7)
here is the section from the ssc file
my machine:
amd athlon 1400 t-bird 266ddr fsb
abit KG7-RAID MB
512mb pc2100 ddr mem
windows 98se
nivida geforce256 ddr with 32mb (Asus AGPv6800 deluxe)
p.s good work on 1.2.5
