Pre 4 display bug

[The Clickman]

get a strange display when looking at Saturn using 1.2.5 pre 4.


using ATI All in Wonder [Radeon 7200 chip] on Win2k.

Waiting for 1.2.6 with OpenGL 1.4, to see on my card specular and many others thing ! :-))

thanks Chris !

Ugh . . . it looks like ring shadows are screwed up. Which is strange, since they should not even be enabled on your graphics card (yet). I think Celestia must be messing up when testing whether ring shadows should be used.

Another thing I find : enabling comets trails using Ctrl-T key reset magnitude limit to 10.0 automatically..

I dont get it like him but mine are doing the same thing as clouds did with planetary ringed worlds....The seperated striping when entering the area of the rings....Its not nearly as bad...just thought I would report it...Oh and its only planets using clouds and rings of course

i had that problem with earth when i started celestia, but not on my planet, but it has cloads, there blue but that shouldn't make any differance

would you mind posting your blue clouds for download?

Fridger has them on the Texture Foundry of his...

I got the same problem as The Clickman with my Radeon 8500LE using 1.2.5 pre 4. Also it seem as if the program slow down substanuly around that system even with the shawods off. more complex planets dont seem to have this issue.

<PS Chris> when you have the time please e-mail me back on the XML standard

[selden]

blotches and slowdown are seen on an ATI RAGE 128 Pro AGP, too.
I'd guess both are a result of a bug in the graphic card detection logic that Chris mentioned above.

I looked and all I can find is some screen shots of a really close up earth, mars and pluto. Nothing about the clouds though...

Fixed!

Sorry, I had forgotten to remove a stupid AutoMag reset statement within the CTRL+T code block, after a copy action...

Hmm, life is hard...;-)

It is not to be overlooked, first entry in the 2048x1024 table (earth-clouds.dds.zip) on the /left/. You apparently looked at the corresponding /preview/ files on the right! Note, the header says PREVIEW. There is a relevant Readme1st file above the table. Reading ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN;-)

thanks a bunch!

Hi my saturn looks fine in win. XP with nVida Gforce 2 , just on ring shadow .

[chris]

I've found an fixed the bug . . . Actually, I'm still somewhat confused about what's going on. The Radeons appear to be reporting an OpenGL extension that they don't actually support. Could someone with a Radeon post the contents of the OpenGL Info dialog (select OpenGL Info under the Help menu)?

Hey Fridger, will the 16k earth texture in your gallery, be in your downloads soon ?

Hey Fridger, will the 16k earth texture in your gallery, be in your downloads soon ?

No, I don't think so. The 16k earth is a "standard" file, obtainable at various other servers and originally from the user Pixel.

The 8k,4k,2k files are my "productions", however.

I am still trying to produce a better 16k one (colors!) but have problems with memory and conversion to dds...
