Celestia Forums

I’ve a video card with Radeon 9000 that should support pixel shader and vertex shader as written in card features, but in my celestia specular and bump don’t work maybe because I can’t enable Ctrl-P Ctrl-V.
I should have the latest driver downloaded from ATI web site as follow:
catalyst version 2.3
2d version 4.13.01.9062
packaging version 7.76-020815b-005727c-ati
and I’ve downloaded direct 8.1b from Microsoft web site.
The celestia version installed is Celestia1.2.5_pre4 with Celestia1.2.5_pre6 exe file and the settings of solarsys.ssc are:
"Earth" "Sol"
{
Texture "earth8k.dds"
NightTexture "earthnight8k.dds"

}
where all texture are placed in medres folder. I’ve tried reinstalling drivers too many times and changing parameters but nothing.

Is there anyone that can help me? Should I download something? From where? Have I spent lot of money for “nothing”? Please help me!
Ps: Excuse my English
Pps: Celestia is great!

Celestia doesn't support bump and specular maps on the Radeon, yet. You'll have to wait for Celestia 1.2.6.
