Unfortunately, at the present moment DW has a hard-coded limit to use only few first images. So it uses only 4 images for continental planets (+1 from forest folder), 3 for desert, marshyswamp and ice planets, 2 for volcanic and oceanic planets. Hopefully this will be fixed in "Shadows" release, but for now most of these landscapes wouldn't appear in the game.



Thats knowing since Martins GEM Mod. Its a shame....

Strangely I did not see, it will be necessary to look.

Status: offline 		Are you saying it looks ok, even though the image is zoomed in? Like this?



Because I resized the images (not same as above, but you get the idea) and now they look like this:



So, if you intended for them to be zoomed in that is ok, I'll just resize/rescale for my game. Or are you saying in your game they display correctly with no resizing? If that is the case let me know because something is wrong with my game.

Thanks.

Status: offline 		Oh you're right, I just never went there :)))) There really is no true test size. Will fix it ...
But I have played around with the size noticed something else.

Bad bug :(
Added original size images.

Hopefully if enough of us keep posting tech support reports, they'll notice it.
