how do i change a texture?

Post #1by Capt Rooster » 06.02.2004, 05:08

I have installed the Extended Stars database Version 2.1 A from the following website;

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/celestia.stars/index.html

I then got the texture map of Cytherea from this site;

http://members.shaw.ca/evildrganymede/a ... therea.htm

I would like to replace the planet texture of a planet of the star HD 142 to use the cytherea image. I changed the information in the extrasolar.ssc file, but when i go the the planet it shows a white ball.

What do i need to do to fix this?
How do i change the name from 'b' to 'Cytherea'?
Is there a way to change the name of the Star also?

Someone please help.

Jason,

You might want to take a look at the web page http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/addon-intro.html

If you have any questions after reading that, please post them.
