Night maps in shadows

Post #1by ElChristou » 23.10.2008, 19:54

Guys, there is a problem with night maps; some time ago when playing with Io's plumes, one of you created a night map for the satellite to pick point the volcanoes. The problem is when Io came in the shadow of Jupiter. The night map should be entirely visible but right now we still can see it only in the "dark" side. This of course is a non sense.

Could the code be modified to take into account the shadow cone of bodies?
