Different colors of the sea

[danielj]

I don??t know if it is a bug or not,but when I get closer to Earth,the sea seem to be divided and have two colors,like a mosaic.I am using Celestia 1.4.0 pre6,the Blue Marble.ctx.
Look:

It appears that not only the sea is a mosaic

Is it a bug or a limitation of Blue Marble itself?

I don't think it's a bug or Blue Marble limitation.
I use Blue Marble, 1.4.pre6 and all it's ok.

That looks like tiles from differents sources ?
Like Blue Marble and Jestr ?

Or perhaps some add-on used ?

Interestingly, I have noticed the same thing, but only when the specular highlight is present.

Sorry, you are right

I enabled my "earth-spec" textures and I have the same probl??me.

I think we need to verify the earth-spec tiles used.
I don't remember where the mine come from ?

Some of the tiles are from you.Some are from jekoz and I think most of them is from kinderino.The Blue Marble is from Walter Comer or NASA;I don??t remember exactly...

I don't think this is a bug.

You'll note in the center of your screen captures is a portion of the Andes with no snow. That is a high res add on, which has tiles in it that do not match the color of the sea in the main texture you are using.

Specifically I believe the add on is...

Argentina: Comahue Region, Bariloche & Lakes
by Guillermo Abramson

A bit strange though, as Walter's BM texture is what is suggested in the files description on the Motherlode.

I use the "Comahue region" addon too.
But the problem (with eart-spec enabled) is present everywhere not only for the south america...
So ?
I'm going to verify the "earth-spec" tiles I have because I can see a pale reflection of the south-east coast of Spain near the India !

Thanks for your indications

My "earth-spec" VT was starting at the level6 (to the level10 ?).
I think they come from the "VT_128k_Islands" addon by Jens Meyer.
In the install.txt of this addon at the point 2, Jens quote :

2. Install specular map addon ( dds Earth-spec virtual texture is required!):
Copy the'level6' and 'level7' folder from 'earth-spec' folder into your Earth-specular virtual texture folder.

So, I saved my tiles, I replaced these one by the "earth-spec-hs-32k" by Harald Schmidt downloaded from motherlode and recopied my previous tiles in the same folder.

All it's OK
