Hello,

I'm having a problem with loading .x files into AGK. I can load the internal cube and sphere shapes. But anything external that I try just doesn't load. No error, everything compiles, just air where the object should be. I tried using the search function in AppGameKit and it says it can't find the file. The file is in the same directory as the game file. Any thoughts?

Not much info about what OS
but Linux and Android are both case sensitive and will cause that error if the name isn't case matched
ie object.X is different than object.x or Object.X etc

If you mean that literally, then that's your problem. AppGameKit will be looking for the file in a 'media' folder inside the game folder.

So I did have it in the actual same directory. Last time I used a TGC product it was DBC so I'm still kind of used to that... But I moved my file to a "media/Models" folder and it still can't find it.

The OS is windows 7 professional service pack 1. I'm pretty sure it isn't a case issue though. When I try to load in a ".obj" object I get this message "Error: Could not find file cube.obj in main.agc at line 20". It looks like things have progressed a lot since DBC, do you need to import it into your project or something now?

Whoo! Fixed it! It was a problem with the new directory thing. So the default path for 3D models is in a "media" folder. Does that go for 2D images too? How about if I want to read a ".txt" file? Does that need to be in a special directory by default?

Default path for everything your program reads is the media folder.
