well... i cant run the code without the media but i see 1 problem right away

rem make/position object
position object 10,100,0,100
Load image "hovercraft_1.bmp",2
Texture object 10,2

load object "scud_missile.3ds",10
load image "bunker.bmp",1
texture object 10,1

in this section of code, at the top you are trying to position object 10, but the object doesnt exist yet
you are also trying to texture it

if you take that out then the code should work

if you want 2 different objects, then for the first one you have to create or load an object to a specific object number, then you can position it or texture it

something like this

Are you using DarkBASIC Professional Patch 4?

If so it cannot load .3DS files - that's probably your trouble at a guess. Also you're texturing your object twice for some reason - first with the bunker texture and then with the hovercraft one - this will work, but only the hovercraft texture would appear - they don't "blend" ontop of each other, they replace one another.

Cheers,

Rich

Patch 3.1 will load all of those formats, they were removed from Patch 4 (and 4.1) due to the 3D engine re-write. Patch 5 will see them all introduced again. For now either use 3.1 or convert the 3DS files to .X objects.

Cheers,

Rich
