Ok, here\'s how I normally load models into my program: I just put the x file model into my program folder then i type and it works! now I have DarkMATTER 2 and I can do the same thing. But my question is, can I load the object without having to put it into the project folder?
if so, please give me an example that works.

Ty!

right click on the file and copy th location, then paste it into your load object code. I wouldn't call that more efficient though. It actually causes a problem when you make an exe of the game and expect other people to play it that dont have a c drive or whatever. In that case its better to keep it within a folder in your project folder. I think thats what you mean anyway. Good luck


edit: like this(assuming you have DBPro and Windows Xp)

a neat way also is to create a media folder within your projects master folder

---------------------------------------
MASTER FOLDER

media folder - models - music - graphics

dba file
dbpro file
bak file
---------------------------------------

if you also make sub folders in the media folder
eg:

MEDIA

[models]
[music]
[audio]
[grahpics]
[misc]

and place the content in those areas, you know in a heartbeat where to place it

eg:

load object "media/models/mymodel.x",1
load music "media/music/mysong.mp3",1

that makes managing the media a lot easier and as Cookyzue as has suggested when you compile your game and want to share it, all the files you used are in the media folder, which means not having to find them all across your computer as well as missing some during the build process.

It also makes it very easy to see how much media data there is by simply right clicking the media folder and seeing the size.

Ty very much!
