Hi Logarou,

that?s very simple. only put the *.dds in /celestia/textures/medres and edit in /celestia/data the equivalent *.ssc file.

example:

- put the "jupiter.dds" in /medres

- and in /data/solarsys.ssc edit the section "Jupiter" like this:

"Jupiter" "Sol"
{
Texture "jupiter.dds"
HazeColor [ 0.4 0.45 0.5 ]
HazeDensity 0.3

Radius 71398
Oblateness 0.064

CustomOrbit "jupiter"
EllipticalOrbit
{
Period 11.8622
SemiMajorAxis 5.2034
Eccentricity 0.0484
Inclination 1.3053
AscendingNode 100.556
LongOfPericenter 14.7539
MeanLongitude 34.404
}

RotationPeriod 9.92425
Obliquity 3.08
LongOfRotationAxis 0 # Not correct, but necessary with current
# calculations of satellite positions
# old values: 337.68, 157.68
Albedo 0.51
}

look at line texture
that?s all
for other *.dds it?similar

i hope, that makes it a little easier
