object number is an arbitrary number you asign to that object as an identifier. So, if your trying to load the first object:

LOAD OBJECT "myobject.x", 1

Load Object "myobject.x",1

but once I hit run it goes to an all black screen and nothing happens. I'm exporting using panda X is there something i'm forgetting to export or is there some other part to the code i'm supposed to enter I keep looking at sample codes but i'm just not getting any form of output from this code.

Try this:

*********************************************************

sync on : sync rate 60
set display mode 1024,768,32
backdrop on : color backdrop rgb(0,0,0)

load object "myobject.x", 1

do

sync

loop

************************************************************

This should get your object on screen. Default export option for Panda.

I am italian then excuse me for eventual language errors, my problem is I have just bought DarkBasic Professional and all seems to work well, except that when I try to load a directx object: LOAD OBJECT "myobject.x", 1 the object is loaded but appears allways gray or black and I am not able to texture it and neither to colour it, the same thing appens with 3ds objects. Instead with DarkBasic primitive objects (box, sphere,cone ecc...) all works well.
What may be the problem an what must I do to resolve it?
May someone help me?

Is the object UV Mapped? Does it have a texture? Have you tried SET OBJECT AMBIENT?

If you want, you can e-mail the .X model to me and I'll take a look at. I've got several programs that can look at .X models as well as a small DBP viewer that I wrote. At the least, I can determine if there is a problem with the model. Does the model have an associated texture file? The model and the texture image need to be in the same directory for most models.

If you have the .X model saved in ascii format, open the file with Notepad and search for quotation marks (") this is where you will find the path data for your materials, if any.
