Celestia Forums

can someone please type a tutorial that is easy to read and understand on how to get moon16vkt installed so it runs please

without the technical babble of the links that i have come across in the forum,

can i also ask those who make there add-on's and textures to add a instruction part to there read me file please, as this would be most helpful

i love the program and also some of the add on's that i have downloaded and got to work, but on the hole i have found it very frustrating just trying to get some things to work as i have no idea how to install them

so far trying to get it to work by looking in the FAQ's i just run into loads of technical talk , just want to know where to put folder X in to directory Z to get add-on/texture X working

so far i have installed Moon16KVT
into

C:\Program Files\Celestia\addons\

or is it in the wrong place?

my system spec's are

3.6gig p4
G-Force 6800ultra
1024 meg ddr 3200

any help or tutorial would be most appreciated

but have run into another problem instead,

i downloaded the png files for mars, installed them put in the system.ssc stuff but mars is now showing as purple? am i missing something here?

plz help

Well done!

Purple Mars: Smooth purple, or textured purple? And if textured, does the purple vary between turquoise and magenta and seem to show lots of wrinkly or circular shapes?

For a moment I thought KSR had written a new book.

Purple is the color you see when you try to use a texture that's a Normal Map as if it were a Surface Texture. Normal Maps are like Bump Maps: they cause shadows to be drawn on the sides of mountains and valleys.

Thank you very much for the quick answer. Now I've managed to install it.
Best wishes
