Hi all!

I have a problem that I can't find an answer to anywhere around.

Recently I have downloaded BlueMarble VTs for Earth and they work fine. I also wanted Earth to look cool on night side, so I dl-ed a NightEarth VT pack by John van Vliet. Here's the problem - no README, no ssc, ctx files. Only levelX folders. So, the question is - how to install it?

Furthermore, should I soon download normal/bump maps as well and they happen to be undocumented as well how to install them?

And one more bonus question: What do those 16K/32K for VTs mean? My GeForce FX 5200 claims to support 4K textures but those dl-ed 16K seem to work.

You need to read the documentation on Virtual Textures that's on the Motherlode's documentation page.

hi do some reading
do to my file structer being different from others i leave it up to the person using it to place the vt's where they want them

also there is a wonderful how-to on seldons site and the motherload
as to the changes in the solarsys .ctx you nead to re name a line and add a line to earth
