Famous Planets Overhaul: Lave
This OXP changes visual appearance of Lave using custom 4096 x 2048 textures for diffuse and specular maps.
Lave is almost flat tropical world, so don't expect dynamic shadows from prominent terrain details (only some hints will be noticeable near terminator).
Conflicts and dependencies
Any packages using script to redefine Lave texture, such as Povray Planets, will overwrite FPO Lave texture.
In case of custom Lave textures redefined in planetinfo.plist result will be dependent from loading order. The latest planetinfo.plist in loading order has highest priority. For example, another_commander's Lave is Earth will load before FPO Lave and FPO Lave will have priority. But if you have some old OXP with custom Lave texture in AddOn folder, it will load after FPO Lave and overwrite it.
In any case having one custom texture for one planet, not several, is right.
Credits
Mask for continents was created using upscaled texture home_planet19.png from System Demux 2 (author DrBeeb). Original texture has 2048 x 1024 resolution.
Textures for diffuse map from NASA Blue Marble open project.
Normal map was created using Earth normal mosaic map (author jestr from Celestia community)
Changes made to original normal map include the addition of an alpha channel, a swap of red and green channels and inversion of original green channel.
Lave description is based on Famous Planets v 2.5 manual (author Pagroove) and Rough Guide to Ooniverse (author Blaze O’Glory aka Disembodied).
Thanks to another_commander for inspiration and commander vasig from Roolite community for initial testing.
