Why is it that I can t see the minor moons (example Ananke of Jupiter ) ?

I have the models .3ds , the textures in the medres folder(.jpeg) and the minor moons , minormoons.ssc in the extra files...


So what s wrong ???...


Thanks as always for your answers ..

Celestia's default configuration shows Ananke fine for me.
Are you using someone's Addon to change the model and surface texture?

Don't forget that precise details matter. Computers do what you tell them, not what you want them to do.

For example, you seem to have misspelled ".jpeg". Celestia requires the filetype to be spelled ".jpg".

Wel, I have Medres Mars in jpeg and it s better than what the fresh Celestia offers and in that case you wouldn t mind if i changed the pics , which were awful at the most !

Maybe the problem is in the solarsys file about the jpeg and jpg mispelling...anyway thanks for your help..I almost forgot event if we are better in computers than twenty years ago...they are still numbs and unable (i guess) to think by themselves..Maybe someday.....

Hello Guest,
Just as a matter of interest, is your ananke.3ds model in the models folder ?

Yes it is !....And now i ve got another problem...I have the mir.3ds model and everything look fine in the solarsys.ssc file and i can not see Mir...I must say that my solarsys file is 1 week old only..Could it the reason why i can t see Mir ?


And what about having the mir.3ds in the models folder and not being able to see it ?...

I have minormoons.ssc in my extra folder ..Is it ok ? or is it goin in the data file ?

as you see i m a newbie with Celestia and many thanks for your kind replys..I really appreciate it !

Hey ..I just saw that in neither in my minormoons.ssc (3ds files only) and in my solarsys.ssc fil there s a reference to the pics of the minor moons


So what do i do ? ans as i ask earlier .Is the file minormoons.ssc file s goin in the extra folder or the data one ?

Thanks again ..(That s a real pain in the ass and mystery to me )

With the Mir model it might be not showing because it has a beginning and ending date,try going back in time or maybe deleting the ending date in the ssc file .In your 'minormoons.ssc' (which is fine in 'extras' folder)you must add the line Mesh "ananke.3ds" for example ,directly above or below the Texture line in the ssc.This line must be there for each moon model.Hope this helps Jestr
