Hi:
First of all, I want to congratulate Chris for this incredibly well designed and useful program, far beyond whatever we can expect for non-comercial software. It's a truly joy, and I wish you can find more of your time to continue developing it.
I noticed that Uranus' moon Umbriel appears always white, without any textures on, no matter if I change resolutions or use r, R. I saw its texture map in the textures/medres folder, and I checked the solarsys.ssc and found that the correspondent texture is properly spelled, so I don't know what is wrong with this particular moon (I went to almost all other spherical bodies in the solar system, and didn't find the same problem).
The problem I experiencing ocurrs in both of my desktops; their general description is:
1)
P4 1.4 ghz
256 mb RAM (Rambus)
GeForce2 GTS 64mb
HD 80mb
(screen usually at 1280x1024 16b)
2)
PIII 1.0 ghz
256 mb SDRAM
GeForce2 MX 400
HD 40 mb
I have another desktop but it has a voodoo banshee, and the program is not very stable there, but it behaves the same: no texture for umbriel.

Could somebody tell me if this is a bug, or could it be my system configuration?

The Umbriel texture is the wrong size, you need to open it in an imaging program and scale it to a celestia-compatible size (256x128, 512x256, 1024x512 etc).

thanks! it worked; I wonder what are the map sizes required for the low resolution textures, because the lores texture for umbriel seems to be wrong also...
