| Quote admiralsirjohn (  ) When putting custom textures on a planet, can they be done as cylindrical/spherical projected .png
You can use cylindrical textures, in this form:
Code
Surface
{
DiffMap "surface_diff.*"
DiffMapAlpha "Water"
BumpMap "surface_bump.*"
BumpHeight 19.475
BumpOffset 10.896
GlowMap "night_light.*"
GlowMode "Night"
GlowColor (1.00 0.90 0.66)
GlowBright 1.0
}
But if you want higher resolutions and real bump mapping, you should use CubeMaps.
How this works is described here: MOD - Creating custom textures for planets 0.97
There you will find also the necessary tools.
Don't forget to look here.

| Okay, thanks. I probably won't need super-high resolution, so cylindrical maps should work fine.
I assume since it's not listed, I won't need an actual surface color map?

| You need a 'surface_diff' map, like this:
A bump map would also be good. But is not necessary.
Also you should set 'NoOcean true', otherwise it may happen, the planet will be flooded. If it is a 'Terra'.
Code
Surface
{
DiffMap "surface_diff.*"
DiffMapAlpha "Water"
BumpMap "surface_bump.*"
}
NoOcean true
Don't forget to look here.

| Ah, okay. That's what Lightwave calls a surface color map. I was thinking an alpha map combined with a bump map would allow for a semi-procedural ground texture. Thanks for the clarification.
I'll be putting this one on Intar:
With this bump map:
And this city lights map:
I'll use the default/procedural textures for the atmosphere.

| For me it works!
The textures should always be powers of 2 !
For example, 1024 x 512 or 2048 x 1024.
Don't forget to look here.

| For me it works.
Do you have the textures in the folder 'addons\textures\planets'?
They can also be in 'data\textures\planets', but better is the first version.
In addition, the names of the files are case sensitive. You must pay close attention to uppercase and lowercase in the name of the textures.
Don't forget to look here.

Let me copy them into addons, and I'll report back.

| Are all the other planets working?
Do you have any error messages in the console, or in the se.log file?
Don't forget to look here.

| There are a couple of errors, but the textures I specified aren't even showing up in the log.
Code [MT] "data/catalogs/StarTrek.pak/stars/TrekStars.sc" line 95: ERROR: Star "Intar Stelis" no RA value, random value 12.7204 assigned
[MT] "data/catalogs/StarTrek.pak/stars/TrekStars.sc" line 95: ERROR: Star "Intar Stelis" no Dec value, random value 80.0058 assigned
[MT] "data/catalogs/StarTrek.pak/stars/TrekStars.sc" line 95: ERROR: Star "Intar Stelis" can't compute distance, random value 466.868 assigned
Those are the only errors relating to the Intar system.
All the other planets use default textures, and they're working fine.

| Then I do not know.
What you could still try - make at the end of the name only '.*' instead of '.png'.
Code
DiffMap "Intar-land.*"
...
BumpMap "Intar-bump.*"
...
GlowMap "Intar-cities.*"
I do not think that makes a difference, but you never know!
Don't forget to look here.

| Worth a shot. I tried putting them inside the TrekStars addon (since it's in the same general universe), but that didn't work.
I'll report back momentarily.
EDIT: Still nothing. Looks like I'll have to try the cubic projection route...
