Add-on Problem

Post #1by M. Bernardo » 20.11.2005, 18:00

I'm having a little problem with this add-on:

When I get to about 1 AU from the Sun, some weird white stripes appear. How can I solve that problem? It is quite annoying.

Thank you.

Well, this is my work, and i can??t say i know what causes this; i will need to do some testing. I am going to do an update of the AddOn when i have time, so i??ll look into it then.

It might be that the "inner sphere", that is, the actual star, is interfering with the outer globe that holds the textures. If so, making the star??s radius (in the stc file) slightly smaller would fix the bug.

Runar:

I too encountered the striping problem, but only when I viewed you Sun add-on from a lower-end computer running a built-in Intel Extreme Graphics card. Although I loaded the latest drivers, it did not fix the problem. It is a video issue probably associated with some aspect of Open GL. I have no idea how todiagnose it or fix it.
