Hello again,
I have a couple of questions:

1. I have been trying to texture a matrix, and it gives me an error message saying "file not found". Oddly enough, the built in games are textured perfectly. Any ideas?

2. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was any way to make a matrix into a three dimentional shape, or to wrap it around a three dimentional shape perhaps?

Once again, any solutions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Atic per

well with the file not found, is the file you are trying to load in the project's folder? I had that peoblem when I just started out . And to make a matrix wrap around an object, I don't Think, think is a keyword, that you can. But if you need a special object shape you can use Milkshape, it's a good cheap program.

Thanks. I finally got it to work. Oh, and I think I fixed my matrix troubles.

thanks again,
aticper

P.S. If you want to see what I was writing(without the textures), it is below.



it is a landscape editor
enter toggles the lift variable up, shift toggles it down, control raises the landscape, and space dents it.

hi

how long have you been programming for.
Cause if you've only just started out dont you think that a landscape editor is a bit complex.

Hi.
I've been learning to program for about two months... It is not really a landscape editor i suppose, I mean, it wont save anything your doing and let you use it later (although it COULD do this with some modification) it's more just something to play with when your bored.

For soem reason the code button did not work, so here it is.
