For some reason when I try to add a normal map to a object using "dbSetBumpMappingOn();" it instead makes it disappear. I thought that was "dbHideObject();"'s job, not one that seems like it should apply a bump map to a object.

Here's the code and the two media files are attached.

+ Code Snippet

#include "DarkGDK.h"

void DarkGDK ( void )
{
	dbSyncOn   ( );
	dbSyncRate ( 60 );
	dbSetDisplayMode( 1024, 768, 32 );

	dbRandomize ( dbTimer ( ) );

	////////////////////////////////////

	dbMakeObjectCube(1,5);
	float boxPitch,boxYaw;

	dbLoadImage("metalx1d.png",5);
	dbLoadImage("metalx1normal.png",6);

	dbTextureObject(1,0,5);

	//dbSetBumpMappingOn(1,6); // Uncomment this to make the cube disappear, AKA apply the normal map.

	while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
	{
		dbText ( 0, 0, "Test" );
		
		boxPitch += 0.1;
		boxYaw += 0.25;
		
		dbRotateObject(1,boxPitch,boxYaw,0);

		dbSync ( );
	}

	return;
}

The trouble part has been commented out so you can see the cube, then uncomment it and see how it magicly disappears. Please help me!

I heard that command is tweaked. Look for EVOLVED and Green Gandalf's Shaders. I think they have stuff that works

Google if ya have to - but that's what I heard - BUMPMAPPING NAtively? Bad! Using Evolved's and Green Gandalf's Shaders? Good

Good Luck!

I'll look for them. Thanks.

*EDIT* Found them, will I have to do that funky thing with the extra camera as discribed in "Advanced Shaders" tutorial? Is there anything I should know about when trying to get these to work?

To benefit other n00bs like me, here is where I found the pack: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&b=8&t=79849&p=0

Thanks a bunch!
