Celestia Forums

I edited the solarsys.ssc to change some Neptune's texure. After i added an alternate surfaces line, the planet disappeared from Celestia.

After some probing, i realized that Pluto was missing too. Including all of the information that came after the Neptune portion on solarsys.ssc. What could have happened? Did i mess up something?

Here's what a portion of the file looks like. Perhaps you can find a problem? Thanks.

The error is in or just before the description of the first object that is not drawn.

I'd suggest looking at Celestia's "console log" (type a "~". On U.S. keyboards, that's the same as "Shift-`". On European keyboards, you'll probably have to type a "space" afterward.) The on-screen display wi'll include an error message that might help locate the typo. Use the arrow keys to move the log up and down.

The section you've posted is missing a closing bracket at the very end: you've closed the rings definition, but not the Neptune definition.

Thanks. Problem solved
