Planet textures on Linux vs Windows?

[mossfoot]

I didn't think much of it because I figured all the alien worlds are going to look alien, but when I installed 1.80 on my Windows computer I discovered that Lave looks very different between the two.

I have the same packages installed on both, but on my Linux machine Lave looks light brown with some purplish spots like a boring Jupiter, while on my Windows machine it seemed more Earth like with blues and greens.

Hmm... you sure you ain't got a planet texture OXP installed on one OS? Core (1.80) Lave, on my Win7 machine, looks like this.

[mossfoot]

Hmmm.. must have. That's how Lave looks on my Linux... but I was sure I had all the same expansions added.

Lave, on my Win7 machine, looks like this.

That is definitely wrong. Lave should be a greenish planet with blue oceans. When you see anything else, or the Oolite build uses wrong PRNGs or you have an oxp that messes up lave. (I suspect the later)

Linux (mint 16) and no planet OXPs (hardly any OXPs at all in fact) and I'm getting the 'brown' Lave as well. True for deployment v1.80 and Trunk.

Lave looks brown with the odd purple blotch on the Mac, with no OXPs, and looks identical to the "Lave Station" screenshot on the website's Getting Started page.

Yup, that's what it is meant to be without OXPs and that's what we see on Windows as well. Cody's shot shows the same thing basically, just with more stars in it. @mossfoot: Some OXP interference is the most likely cause.

Maybe post your Latest.log, mossfoot.. someone here will likely spot the culprit.

A_C is right, without any oxp, lave looks brown with purple oceans on my mac using Oolite 1.80. There must be an oxp in my set that changes the Lave colours. Lave.oxp is one that does it with the planetInfo.plist. But when removing Lave.oxp, I still see a greenish Lave with my normal oxp set. So, there must still be another that does it through planetInfo.plist

However, in my opinion Lave was always greenish and I checked with Oolite 1.76.1 (Current stable release). There Lave is still greenisch with blue oceans when no other oxp's are installed. So this feels like a bug in the current Oolite version to me.

Fixed that for you - 1.80 is current stable. Well, calling it a bug would be a bit far fetched in my opinion. It's just the way it renders with the new planets code. Do we want it greenish? I never really paid too much attention to that part and am fine whatever way it looks like.

Do we want it greenish?

It's most famous for its vast rain forests ... although these might not be green!

<grins> They're more likely to be green than brown, I'd think.

They might be purple, though ... and sadly diminished. Every day, an area of Laveian rainforest the size of Wales is cut down. No wonder the mighty tree grub is almost extinct.

Purple rainforests? Cool, I like purple!

<grins> Did someone enable extra logging?

Urgh!
