There are many circumstances that could cause a surface texture not to be drawn. Some of them are listed at http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/addon-intro.html#6.

Okay, i have moved the textures to the main addon folder, moved them to the main texture folder, checked file names for typos and still no go. I think i must have done something really messed up, all i get is a white ball.

Textures in medres folder?

Yup, double chedked that this morning

I changed all images to jpg, and bingo, there they were.

Are .gif formats unreadable in celestia?

[selden]

No, Celestia cannot display GIF.
Only JPEG, PNG and DDS are supported.
In some cases BMP can be used with models, but that format is not officially supported, either.

Sorry.
