Problem with Jupiter and Europa

[supernova]

I downloaded the 4k Jupiter Surface Texture and the Europa VT Surface Map, 8k Europa Spec Map and 8k Europa Normal Map (all from John van Vliet). I put them in the "extras" folder in my Celestia folder and created the .ssc files.
But somehow, I can't turn both the surface texture of Jupiter and the VT of Europa on on the same time, it's either Jupiter's alternative surface or Europa's.

Here are my .ssc files:

4kjupiter.ssc:

AltSurface "4kjupiter" "Sol/Jupiter"
{
Texture "4kjupiter.png"
}


EuropaVT.ssc:

AltSurface "Europa VT" "Sol/Jupiter/Europa"
{
Texture "Europa.ctx"
SpecularTexture "8kEuropaSpec.png"
NormalMap "8kEuropaNormal.png"
SpecularColor [ 0.35 0.5 0.55 ]
SpecularPower 15.0
}

Everything else works fine, so i think it's a configuration problem.

Would be nice if somebody could help me.

PS:
from solarsys.ssc:

"Jupiter" "Sol"
{
Texture "jupiter.*"
[...]
}


"Europa" "Sol/Jupiter"
{
Texture "europa.*"
[...]
}

AltSurface "limit of knowledge" "Sol/Jupiter/Europa"
{
Texture "europa.*"
OverlayTexture "europa-lok-mask.png"
}

If any additional information is required to solve the problem please let me know.

Only one AltSurface name is active at a time. That AltSurface name applies to all bodies.

In orther words, change the names of your AltSurface definitions to use the same name for both, perhaps HiresAltSurface.

e.g.

Code: Select all

AltSurface "HiresAltSurface" "Sol/Jupiter" {...}
AltSurface "HiresAltSurface" "Sol/Jupiter/Europa" {...}


Then when you select "HiresAltSurface" both Jupiter and Europa will display their improved images simultaneously.

Thank you very much selden It works perfectly now.
Life's hard as a n00b... you look at the data all the time and tweak this and that but you can't see such an obvious reason

glad to see that you got it working
