or another thing you could look for on most of the basic camera movement is look on the help menu in darkbasic and go to commands and the others it has some first person commands some positioning camera commands and a chase camera command for like 3rd person games hope that helped!

Ok, thanks everyone!

I have another question( they don't stop coming )

What are animations for models, and how do you make them?

Thank you

Animations for models are like leg movements for walking. You can make them with a 3D modeler, but that is very hard. You can also mak them in Dark Basic, but that's hard too! If you boght Dark Matter with Dark Basic, you will already have characters with walking, moving, being shot, and dieing.

yah SAM is right if u bought darkmatter it all ready has some with animations all you need to do is use the play object command but if you use this command it will only play the animation once so if you want it to go continuessly you have to use the loop animation command

well hoped that helped a lot!

If you want to animate models you could use Milkshape3d. I've found some great video tutorials here:
http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/blackboard/tutorials.htm

You can download the free trial version of milkshape here:
http://www.milkshape3d.com

Really, milkshape is the best choice for the prize <-> quality
It hase a lot of import/exporters including Directx .x file

Good luck

this is the code that should help you out, hopefully.


rem create matrix
load "floor1.bmp",1
get image 1,0,0,256,256
delete bitmap 1
make matrix 1,5000,5000,100,100
prepare matrix texture 1,1,2,2
texture matrix 1,1

sincerly,
Mike

Is your bmp file in the same folder/directory as your .dba file?
you have to make sure that it is in the same folder.
also you dont have to use the get image command just use this:


this will texture the entire matrix the same image though.
But that always works for me!
besides if you want to make a cool level dont use matrixes, use DeleD! its a really good level creation program.
and email me about Milkshape 3D! trust me you will not be disapointed!
later!

Trying to keep it on the positive but what ever...

Halo Man, try not to be too reliant on others, if you have a problem try as much as you can to sort out the problem, BUT if you're really stuck then it's the time to ask for help.

if people keep giving you the anwser you'll never figure any of the on coming problems on your own, and chances are you'll end up relien on others for the majority of your projects. What i'm trying to say is would you or would you not understand the code better if you were able to problem solve even with some help, providing the help is NOT giving you the anwser but merely a hint to what is wrong?

------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm tired and grumpy, don't mind my ramblings, but you're making fast progress, keep it up and you'll probably be on your way to creating a kick ass first person shooter

When i started in DBC I also had some trouble with the images etc.. but after a while of tinkering everything just sorta fell into place

halo man did you copy the texture file then go to program files in the C drive from my computer then find the darkbasic folder go to my projects find your project folder and then paste the texture in there! then when you turn on DB it will show up in the folder and you can load it but if that doesnt work just when you went to the Cdrive and went to my projects on the top were it says exactly what folder it is in copy that then on DB use this command
then in "" put your file name in it and it should load hope that helped!

Yes, i just placed the texture in the file directory where my project is, and i use the "set dir" command, but it still isnt working(sorry for wasting everyones time).

Quote: "besides if you want to make a cool level dont use matrixes, use DeleD! its a really good level creation program.
"


I have deled, but therre are no tutorials for me to learn it. It is a good program, and i'll probably just learn myself
instead of dealing with matrixes, which has become my worst enemy


Anyway, i have the file loaded fine, but now it
says runtime error on "prepare matrix texture 1,1,1,1". I fixed that, and now when i execute the program, the whole matrix is black!
