PovrayPlanets OXP

Introduction

Povray Planets aims to provide a high resolution texture for every planet in each galaxy - generated/rendered based on seed values in the spirit of Elite/Oolite.

Overview

This OXP is split such that the bulk of the scripting is provided by a base OXP, with the textures provided separately via Povray_Planets_GalaxyX_Textures. The aim of this is to allow modifications to behaviour and bugfixes to be released without the burden of another large download.

All textures are provided as cube maps 512x3072.

Famous Planets OXP is based on Povray Planets.

Minimum Requirements

Oolite 1.75 or greater

Base OXP

Povray Planets base OXP 3KB - This only provides scripting support and is required by the texture OXPs. You don't need this OXP to use povray planets. Its support for playing with other planet/system texturing OXP's is poorly written. No longer recommended.

Seams
