1.3.2pre2 - 3ds objects - ambient light bug

Post #1by JackHiggins » 18.02.2004, 21:33

I first noticed this with the ISS, but it's actually happening to every 3ds object with a texture on it. Whenever a 3ds object enters the shadow of another body, all textures dissappear, and it acts as though ambient light is on full.

Strange other bug, possibly related- the ISS is the only object I can see textures on at the moment. I've checked out a few 3ds moons (Amalthea, Prometheus) and no textures are showing on them.

I didn't download the entire 1.3.2 fixed package, I just got the exe file and put it into the 1.3.2pre1 installation, replacing the previous celestia.exe. I didn't notice anything like this in 1.3.2pre1.

I'm seeing the same problem as Jack reports for bodies in the solar system.
DSC Nebula textures are being drawn OK, though.

I downloaded and installed the entire installation kit, not just the executable.

Turning off Eclipse Shadows seems to be a work-around. I'll add it to the SF Tracker.

Just to confuse the issue, I seem to be having problems viewing Nebulae from within the solar system. The stars around them become brighter, whenever I rotate the view to look at a nebula. And as for the Nebulae themselves, they appear to have black borders around them. :?

Can someone show me a screenshot of the nebula problem? I can't reproduce it myself . . .
