I think the textures are already in the latest versions, no need to install anything.

But you have to activate them... I think you have to pause the game and press T or something, cannot remember just now...

Dead right. Although, every time I start up a save file that used procedural textures, I still have to press p-t-p when I leave the station....

Ah, the procedural textures only activate when a planet texture is generated, so next time, undock, pause, press t, unpause, dock then undock again.

I think you'll find this feature is only implemented in v1.67 and 1.68...

Ah, better try upgrading then I guess, is it stable?

Sorry, my bad. I thought you might have already upgraded. As for stability, I've not had any *real* probs, 'cept with the Assassins 'mission loop' glitch. :sigh:

Right, 1.68 installed and I think it's working, yep looks good, thanks for the help. Wait a minute I've lost all the textured ships that i downloaded a while ago, can I get them back or is it too late?

Which textured ships are you referring to...?

The ones I got from Sung (I think), it gave all the standard ships new textures. Can't find them now?

If you go to the Wikki OXP page and follow the link, it will take you to his website where you can download them again. To avoid having to do this everytime you update Oolite:-

Make a folder called sungtex.oxp. Inside this folder create a folder called Textures. Copy all the textures to the Textures file. Now move the snugtex.oxp to AddOns.

The reason that this is happening, is if you overwrite the native textures with the custom ones, when you update Oolite they are overwritten again by the native as the installer installs the new version of Oolite. If you keep them in an OXP however, then they remain safe.

Thanks Little Bear, just tried it but the link takes me to Sung's site which is all in german and I dont speak it. The link doesn't download anything or if it does I dont know what to click on.. Unless you know any better I'll give up on them. Thanks for the helps everybody.
