disable the night texture?

[alexdudek]

Not really a bug...more a request on looks...Is there a way to disable the night texture on the dayside for the next version of Celestia?

The night texture is turned off in Celestia 1.6.1.
This option will be preserved in Celestia 1.7.0.

Croc,

I think the setting you are showing is for night light only.
alexdudek talks about nighttime textures.
The textures of nights for a planet, for example, are located in the .ssc.

Look in solarsys.ssc, for Earth, there is the instruction NightTexture "earthnight. *"

To no longer see them on the screen, just write #NightTexture "earthnight. *" for put the line to comment. If you want to have them on demand, you may have to try AltSurface.

Croc,

gironde,
1. I do not know English, so I can not understand the question.
2. Based on your answer, you do not quite understand the question correctly.

The question reads:

Not really a bug...more a request on looks...Is there a way to disable the night texture on the dayside for the next version of Celestia?

Translating to Russian language:
На самом деле это не ошибка...больше запрос на внешний вид...есть ли способ отключить ночную текстуру на дневной стороне для следующей версии Celestia?

In the solarsys.ssc (22.01.2011) file there is a link to the night texture:

Code: Select all

"Earth" "Sol"
{
   Texture "earth.*"
   NightTexture "earthnight.*"
.....................................

Night texture earthnight.jpg (22.01.2011) is in the folder ..\textures\medres. Here is the texture:

I agree with you to disable the night texture, you can edit the solarsys.ssc file as follows:

Code: Select all

"Earth" "Sol"
{
   Texture "earth.*"
   # NightTexture "earthnight.*"
.....................................

I suggested an easier way - to disable the night texture in the "View Options" panel.
===================
Carefully read the question: "...disable the night texture on the dayside..."

I do not understand what caused this question?
The night texture does not distort the view of the Earth during the day.

[gironde]

in my ssc for Earth, the normal texture is Earth.ctx (VT textures) and NightTexture is earthnight.ctx (VT textures). The difference is very subtle almost invisible.

Hi,

On celestia 1.6.1 or 1.7, night textures are turn OFF ?

CTRL L doesn't work !

Why ?

[selden]

Night Textures are not visible if Celestia is in "Render path: Basic".

Type a Ctrl-V several times to step through the rendering modes which are available on your computer. "Render path: OpenGL 2.0" provides the most eye candy.

[jujuapapa]

Yes, it works fine !

Thank you very much Selden, you're the best !

Merry Christmas...

You're very welcome.

Happy holidays!
