I want to make a ssc file to put the textures of Don Edwards in the extra dir and select it as alternate surfaces. Actually it works fine, but the setting for the clouds did not. There are still the original clouds. Can anyone find a mistake?

AltSurface "RealisticEarth" "Sol/Earth"

{
Texture "RealisticEarth-v4-16kDDS.dds"
NightTexture "land_ocean_ice_lights_aurora_8k.dds"
NormalMap "Earth-8K-Normalmap.dds"
SpecularTexture "8kEarthSpecular.dds"

Atmosphere {
CloudSpeed 00
CloudMap "clouds-121303-8k.dds"
}

}

THX!

CloudMap textures are not surface textures, so AltSurface does not work for them.

At the moment, there is no way to select among several different CloudMap textures while Celestia is running.

That's not quite right: you can put a cloud texture image in the /hires/ folder and use a capital-R to select it. Make sure the image file has the same name as the cloud texture image specified in the SSC file.

However, you can specify a different CloudMap texture to be used when Celestia starts up by using the Modify operator in an SSC file.

OK thanks, I didn't know that. I think I put the cloud-map into the hires dir and change the clouds with [R] and [Shift + R]
