Here, I think - it's fine in my game now, anyway.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

pagroove, have a look at Eric's post here https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.ph ... 79#p185579 i wonder if this is what's causing your problem with some of the textures in the pagroove stations oxp, i'll have a look at resaving the texture images and keep an eye out for any 'interlaced' options i've forgotten to switch off

The link in Griffs massage links to itself. :roll: He mend: here and here

In trunk, the mac port of Oolite has a bug that prevents interlaced from being loaded. Opening all your textures in mac's own "Preview " program, returns 3 textures that have interlace type 1 instead of 0: PAGroove_Metaforce_coriolis.png, PAGroove_Redtec_coriolis.png, PAGroove_Solartec_coriolis.png

I am sure they don't load, but you should see an entry in the log though. And, as there is no reason to use interlacing in Oolite textures, better save them in plain format. Interlaced graphics are great though if you want to show pictures in web pages with slow connections. :wink:
