Hi Submersible. Could you officially release the Povray/ Famous Planets combo versions of G1 and G2 on the first page of this thread?
The initial post is updated with links to all 8 galaxies. Including the previously unofficially released galaxy v1.1 with combined famous planets.

I have not yet got to the gal 2 problem povray planets - I would expect 10-20% of those G2 which are not famous planets are subject to change.

Okay then I wait till you've got those done. No hurry but I want to point new users to the combined sets instead of the old FP 2.5. package. :D

Of course this process would be much quicker if people who are running the current Povray Planets galaxy 2 can report any obviously wrong texture/description planets in the Problem Povray Planets thread https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11697

Ok I will look at Galaxy 2 this weekend and report some strange combinations in that thread.

Ok as promised this afternoon I checked the povray sets for Galaxy 2 with FP included in the set) I checked all 256 planets.
You can read my findings in the Povray problem thread. :D
May I really (again) give my compliments. Some very lovely textures you made for some planets.

I unsuccessfully tried to download the texture pack for Galaxy 3 a couple of times over the past few days.
The connection has timed out
The server at swarm.perlide.org is taking too long to respond.
I guess I'll spend some more time in Galaxy 2.

I've removed any mention of it from the OXP List wiki page or the Sensible Tweaks thread here, but my stand-in config file that maps the G1 textures to G3 is still on the Box.

I think we should start a torrent of this OXP.

When dealing with such huge amounts of data, the torrents is the best and fastest way to share.

Interesting idea.. the only (potential) problem I can see is dealing with updates.

Yup - server suspended, due to bandwith.

Downloading now, and will seed it.

Please, make torrents for other galaxies as well.

Hi!

What is the status of this project?

Is there any way to get the 8 charts already made now? If, where & how?

Hope this has not died due to bigness

Cheers

Try the first post in this thread! But there are some problems with bandwidth, I believe,
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!
