Try using relative paths instead of absolute. If the game, directory is pulpit. Add media folder to that. Place the media file there. Then use this code.



Let me know if that helps.

Here is a example with your code. Using a barrel i have made. If this works it may be a file name issue. It may be your models normals or the texture file.

Sorry, my internet went down for a couple hours. Glad to hear you got it working. I use wings too. The barrel was made with fragmotion.

you're not texturing the object at any point in your code, you load the object using load object and the image using load image but this just stores the files in RAM so that the program can access them, in order to actually apply the image to the object as a texture you need to use texture object objectnumber , imagenumber.

Hope this helps

EDIT: Didn't realise you had fixed this!

Yudi, the files need to be in the same location as your EXE for you to be able to use local paths like that (IE. object.x), you should place the object files in your project folder and then it should work.

Ah yes, black models normally mean you have tried to load a texture up but mistyped it. DB has an annoying `feature` at the moment where it will load up phantom images, even if they don't exist. For example:-

That will run fine and dandy, although no image called apple exists. You will get a black sphere. Normally it would flag an error and exit, but latest version of DB ignores and continues on. It is only an annoyance when you know, but if you are not aware you could spend a lot of time messing about wondering what is happening. I tend to put a "if file exists()" condition in these days just to have an error check in place. The same can be said for .jpg, but if you load in a .tga, it will flag it is missing. So obviously it's a change for certain file formats that has caused this.
