I've just installed Celestia 1.3.0pre2.
All seems right, but planets (not the moons) have a light inside,
they have their own texture map, but they have'nt a dark side.
What's appened?

They work fine for me!

You'll need to list your software and hardware details. It could be a bug in the way the new shaders work on your model of graphics card and version of OpenGL that comes with it. I had a similar problem long ago, but it was intermittant. I haven't seen it for several releases of Celestia and graphics card drivers.

My own details: 256MB, 500MHz P3, Win XP Pro SP1; Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200, Detonator v40.72 drivers: OpenGL v1.4.0.

:oops: With the last Detonator I've back my natural planets.
OK, on my Athlon XP 1500+, Creative GeForce2 MX all seems to work fine.

Try to edit solarsys.ssc and remove text line like this - difuse true , or something like that. :idea:

It's 'emissive true', but I don't think that's the problem since you'd have to have inserted those lines yourself in the first place.

Try coppying the shaders folder from celestia 1.2.5 over the one that came with celestia 1.3.0. It worked for me :lol:

I'm glad you got Celestia working, but . . . using the 1.2.5 shaders is not something I'd recommend. The older shaders have bugs, and are likely to have not-so-subtle incompatibilities with the the 1.3.0 executable.
