Celestia does not load addons

[daniele80]

Binary package hint: celestia

I'm using Celestia on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS.

the addons from http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/ don't work.

Steps to reproduce this bug:
1) download this addon http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/show_addon_details.php?addon_id=864
2) extract the folder "mars_m46_dds_vt" and copy it to /usr/share/celestia/extras/
3) start celestia and go to Mars. You won't get the option for the additional texture.
On Windows the same addon works fine.

You get the bug with *all* the addons which contain a folder that must be copied to extras folder (test these: http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/show_addon_details.php?addon_id=1219 http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/show_addon_details.php?addon_id=1235).
It seems like that Celestia does not look into addon folders.

OS: Ubuntu 10.04
Package version: 1.6.0+dfsg-1ubuntu1

Wine 1.5.5 introduces support for DDS texture files - see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTEwNzQ

This is working without Wine on Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" with Celestia 1.6.1. I had to right-click on Mars and select Alternate Surfaces --> m46shadeddds
