If you're using it as an alternate surface, you'll have to right click on the Moon and select it via the Alternate Surfaces menu. However, I'm assuming you want that to be the default texture.

I suggest creating a "Moon" directory in "Extras" for your texture:

Code: Select all

extras/Moon/
extras/Moon/Moon.ssc
extras/Moon/textures/
extras/Moon/textures/hires/
extras/Moon/textures/hires/Moon.ctx
extras/Moon/textures/hires/MoonVT/
extras/Moon/textures/hires/MoonVT/level0/
extras/Moon/textures/hires/MoonVT/level1/
extras/Moon/textures/hires/MoonVT/level2/
extras/Moon/textures/hires/MoonVT/level.../

Moon.ssc:

Code: Select all

Modify "Moon" "Sol/Earth" {
  Texture "Moon.ctx"
}

Moon.ctx:

Code: Select all

VirtualTexture {
  ImageDirectory "MoonVT"
  BaseSplit 0
  TileSize 1024
  TileType "png"
}

An attempt at a brief description of two ways to arrange VTs is at http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/brief_vt.html
