Since DarkBASIC includes 3D World Studio in one, or more, of its packages, does it include any command/s to load .3dw files?

I think you are supposed to save your 'worlds' as .dbo's within the program, and then load them.

You should use this shader by Green Gandalf and Lost in Thought to make the lightmaps appear properly in .dbo format. :P

To use it in DBP:



You can rename the shader whatever you want.

Will DarkBASIC automatically perform collision testing on .dbo worlds?

No, you need to use the built in commands (slow) or a DLL such as Sparky's or Nuclear Glory's

I definately recommend Sparky's collision plugin. It's much faster and returns
more collision data than the standard built-in commands. It's seemless which
means that it will be included internally with your executables, unlike Nuclear Glory,
which is external. Not only that, it's free!

If you decide to use Sparky's collision plugin, besides the examples included
with it, Ruccus has some good examples here in the forums. Just do a thread
search...

If you have dark physics or newton they are also pretty awesome at world collision.

Yeah I use Dark Physics for my collision when using .dbo files from 3dWS, and it works wonderfully. Though I did not know about that shader, cheers Image All.

I just tried GG+LiT shader and, while it does bring the lighness up to match 3DWS (thanks guys), shadows just stop working. Is this a known limitation?

I have vague plans for World Domination

As far as I know you can't have more than one shader applied to an object in DBP. You would have to incorporate the shadow shader into this shader to make it work. I am still learning as well though.

I figured the one-shader thing when I tried to apply bump mapping. It didn't even work without the lightmap shader though.
