So i've made a model in DBC for use in my game, but now the question is how to save it. I don't know how. I've tried opening a file to write, making the model, and then closing the file, but when I look at it in my folder, it says the file is 0 kilobytes large, and when I look at it in notepad, it's blank. Yes, it is an X file. I can't open it in Darkbasic. I run this program on a laptop, and I've read that there is a glitch in the program if you run it on one. Is this true? If not, then how do I save my model?

You could search for a dll that does this in DBC, but as far as I know it is not possible. However, In DBP, there is talk of a save object command in the forthcomnig upgrade, v5.8

Part of solving the problem is actually noticing that the problem is there in the first place

Well, that sounds like a big rip-off tome. Why would they give you commands to make a model and then no way of doing anything with it?

I don't have DBC but if there is a make memblock from object command you can save it. And it is not a ripoff because you can make it in DBC. You can just remake it it with code everytime loads.

Nope, DBC doesn't have a memblock command. Could I save my data inside an array or something?
