The models the tutorials use are fine, but when I copy and pase the dark matter ones, they sometimes don't work, and they move really fast, always appear really far away on the screen, and aren't textured at all. What's going on?

make sure you put all the files in the darkMATTER cd into where you are using the model.....as for size, just scale them but i have never had any problems with them....aside from that, i don't know

What do you mean scale? Anyways, I put all the motion.x file into the same directory as the excutable/.dba file, and it just won't texture.

I do not know why it will not texture where it is, but I know a longer way of doing it. When you load the object type in the whole address starting with "C:".

Scale is a command.
Type "scale object objectnumber,xscale,yscale,zscale". The scale values will be percentages of what size it already is.
Example: If you type "scale object 1,200,200,200", it will be twice the size it already is. On "scale object 1,50,50,50" it will be half the size and so on

They are small? Scale object
They arent textured? Texture Object
They go too fast? Set Object Speed
Camera is Too far away? Thats your code

Gotta learn the langauge before you jump ahead.

but i've noticed that there model is already texture, and when I view the module in the dark matter broswer, it looks just like i want, and yet when I go all the way to the directory to copy and paste, its just the module. Could it be that dark matter just provides the module, allowing and forcing you to select your own texture to apply with code on it, and proveds only the shape and animations? And so it comes with its own textures to apply?

did you also copy the model texture file/files to the new location where you placed the .x file?

k, i found it. I was assuming that the textures were already applied to the module, and so that was my mistake. Scaling it got it to size, now I just need to work out a few other things, like its obnoxious speed. Thanks a bunch guys!!!
