Since the browndwarf texture is a emissive one,what?s the use for a night texture.I put this in the extrasolar.ssc and only the "day" texture worked.I don?t understand how a night texture for a browndwarf could work.But it should,because I saw a photo in Praesepe album(I think)

Using Grants recent stellacompanions.ssc which contains some browndwarfs, I have had success using the browndwarf.dds add-ons with the following setting as a typical example;

Code: Select all

"EPS Ind Bb" "EPS Ind B"
{
   Texture "browndwarf.dds"
   NightTexture "browndwarfnight.dds"   # T6V
   Radius 67000         #

   Color   [ 1 0.7 0.7 ]

   #Emissive true

   EllipticalOrbit {
      Period       16.1 # approximate orbit
      SemiMajorAxis   2.65 #
   }

   RotationPeriod 5 # plausible guess
}


You need to remove or hash (#) out the Emissive true line for the night texture effect to work in Celestia when you press ctrl L to view it.
