I have been playing a little with the 3D commands, and seem to have an issue with texturing. I load the texture using loadimage, create a plane, or a box, it doesn't make any difference. Then I use set object image. I only see a white plane or box still. The 3D demo works ok as far as I can see, but apart from creating the objects rather than loading I can't see why my little test doesn't work. Anyone else had problems texturing objects made from with AppGameKit? Most of my 3D objects from my DB days are .x and I have no easy way to get oobj at the min.

Edit - Here's the code I have been playing with.

The command loadimage("light1.png",1) should be loadimage(1,"light1.png"), there are various versions of this command and the one currently being used is

int imageID = LoadImage( string filename, int blackToAlpha )

That got it working. Lol, so busy looking at the 3D commands, texture stage and shaders, I didn't notice that. Thanks, for that Paul, a fresh set of eyes always helps!

Another question as it is semi related, I have tried using transparencies on a few planes. However they show up as black atm with either a setting of 0 or 1 in the loadimage command. Am I missing something? Or is that only for sprites and not 3D objects/planes?

Also a question about FE. I have tried this code on FE but it fails on making the plane. It appears that command and a few others seem to be unhighlighted. Is this AppGameKit update further along than FE? I have yet to have much success using it so far.

AGK is now ahead of FE in terms of 3D, I think FE only has the box primitive for now.

Transparency is not yet supported but will be soon.

Ah, that is good then, at least it isn't a silly mistake this time!
