Ensures that the Planet Textures reflect the F7 screen descriptions
Contents
Overview
The vanilla-game planet textures are often wildly different from the descriptions on the F7 screen.
This OXP rectifies the matter for the vanilla-game code planet textures where they are described as containing forests or oceans.
More detail
The Oolite planets are either generated by the game engine or are created by planet-texture images which are then wrapped around the planet. The first are created from a number of variables which are either specified in the Planetinfo.plist - or are scripted (Oolite JavaScript Reference: Planet).
History
Classic Elite (1984) had no planet textures - just wire frames. And the F7 screen descriptions were added in by the infamous Goat-Soup recipe. As computing improved, planet textures were added. And... the one did not always match the other!
This was originally two separate OXPs (Planet Oceans and Planet Forests).
