The Apperance.xml file is found in the install folder for Universe Sandbox.
(in Program Files\Universe Sandbox\Data - not in (My) Documents\Universe Sandbox)

Note that when you upgrade (when the new version is released) any changes to the files in the Data folder will be overwritten without asking you. (so if you make any important changes make a backup copy outside of the installed folder)

You may also want to scale the texture down to something more manageable like 1024x512 or even 512x256.

The maps are a cylindrical projection.

Here's the complete set and more info:

Also I can't distribute these specific files given the disclaimer at the bottom of the page:
"The images on this page are intended for personal non-commercial use only."

No worries though... I'll either obtain permission to use this file or find a version of Enceladus that I can use.

It won't let me change the texture. What did you open Appearance with? I went to My Documents>Universe_Sandbox>systems>copy_data_for_reference>Appearance

wrong topic Naru523. That topic is about retexturing not terraforming

I put in the texture but nothing changed???

Is this happening to others?

witold · « **Reply #19 on:** August 19, 2009, 02:45:21 PM »

Maybe the texture is too big

hbmp88 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 19, 2009, 05:22:22 PM »

What do you mean?

atomic7732 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 19, 2009, 05:24:15 PM »

file size

hbmp88 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 19, 2009, 06:57:37 PM »

I know but how could the file size be too big? I'm trying to change the enceladus texture to the one that was posted.
