Not sure what's caused this, been following the simple dodging tutorial to get back into dbp after ages of not touching it. Can't remeber any of it.

Got the model from turbosqid and it loads fine in a simple:




However in:



It just loads as a black model, I've tried the texture object command e.t.c and got nothing so far. I've attahced the model + texture.

Edit: Fixed now, loaded in as a DBO and it worked instantly, but if anyone knows what was causing it that'd be appreciated.

Coding.....again, back to the basics xD

From what I can tell, the path to the lamborghini is:
Media\Models

whereas the texture for it resides in:
Media\Models\Textures

You need the texture for an .x model in the same folder as the model.

I dl'ed the media and put it in the same folder and it worked fine for me.

Not sure, I'd tried that before and it worked fine in a diff app, converting to dbo worked though, thanks.

LBFN is correct.

Open up your .x file with a text editor and look for the line containing 'TextureFilename' - the filename there is just a filename and has no directory name as a part of it. If you relocated the texture to the Textures directory then you needed to change the file to include that.

Ian:

Would that also work with non-ASCII .X files?

I know you can still load non-ASCII files into Notepad, but wasn't sure if it would let you add more characters or it was like using a hex editor where you can only change what is already there, but not alter the length of the file.
