Hi chafari, thanks for your reply..
It is a question of code im afraid. Basically, heres the scenario again just to be clear..
I am writting a program in dark basic pro. Editing sample code as practice for learning. I have made a model in Blender 2.58 and import it in to the program that comes with Dark Lights plugin (LightmapperIDE.exe) to calculate lightmapping. It calculates the lightmap and I then saves the scene as a DBO file which also creates a lightmap folder with files for use in my DBP program. I then (using DBP) need to enter some code in to the script telling DBP where to locate the newly lightmapped scene (DBO file & textures folder)..
Sample:
sync on
sync rate 60
rem load world mesh
load object "C:\Program Files (x86)\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional\Projects\Mine\MyGame\Scene data\ground.x",1 `load terrain object, replace with own or use original
load image "C:\Program Files (x86)\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional\Projects\Mine\MyGame\Scene data\ground.jpg",76 `load texture for the terrain
texture object 1,76
rotate object 1,0,180,0
scale object 1, 5000,5000,5000
Rem load building
load object "C:\Program Files (x86)\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional\Projects\Mine\MyGame\Scene data\building.x",2
load image "C:\Program Files (x86)\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional\Projects\Mine\MyGame\Scene data\Building.bmp",3
texture object 2,3
scale object 2, 150,150,150
position object 2,0,0,0
Rem load lightmap scene test

rem texture object 4,5
scale object 4, 100,100,100
position object 4,10,0,0
rem Main
do
OldCamAngleY# = CameraAngleY#
OldCamAngleX# = CameraAngleX#

CameraAngleX# = WrapValue(CameraAngleX#+MousemoveY()*0.2)
`
cx#=camera position x() : cz#=camera position z()
Rem Control input for camera
`move forwards
If keystate(17)=1
cX# = Newxvalue(cX#,CameraAngleY#,10)
cZ# = Newzvalue(cZ#,CameraAngleY#,10)
Endif
`move backwards
If keystate(31)=1
cX# = Newxvalue(cX#,Wrapvalue(CameraAngleY#-180),10)
cZ# = Newzvalue(cZ#,Wrapvalue(CameraAngleY#-180),10)
Endif
`move left
If keystate(30)=1
cX# = Newxvalue(cX#,Wrapvalue(CameraAngleY#-90),10)
cZ# = Newzvalue(cZ#,Wrapvalue(CameraAngleY#-90),10)
Endif
`move right
If keystate(32)=1
cX# = Newxvalue(cX#,Wrapvalue(CameraAngleY#+90),10)
cZ# = Newzvalue(cZ#,Wrapvalue(CameraAngleY#+90),10)
Endif
`mouse movement
Yrotate camera CurveAngle(CameraAngleY#,OldCamAngleY#,24)
Xrotate camera CurveAngle(CameraAngleX#,OldCamAngleX#,24)
position camera cx#,1027-intersect object(1,cx#,1000,cz#,cx#,-1000,cz#),cz# `this is the main part of the code, use
`normal wsad controls with the x and z positions but intersect the terrain object with the y position
camx = camera position x (0)
camy = camera position y (0)
camz = camera position z (0)
cx#=camera position x() : cz#=camera position z()
sync
rem Debug
if keystate(41)=1
set cursor 0,0 : print "FPS: ";screen fps():print "X Position : " ,camx:print "Y Position : " , camy:print "Z Position : " , camz
endif
`
rem Update screen
sync
`
rem End loop
loop
Basically, I am trying to learn how to program a 1st person enviroment. I am lost between
Rem load lightmap scene test and
do main loop, as in what code do I put in there to get DBP to display my DBO file with textures & lightmapping!
Hope that clears up my intentions!
