DarkGDK world showing up, but no textures!

[wilderbeast]

I'm quite a noob at DarkGDK. I found out how to load a world, but the textures won't show up. The world is just all grey.

#include "DarkGDK.h"

void DarkGDK ( void )
{
 
  dbSyncOn   ( );
  dbSyncRate ( 60 );

  
  dbLoadObject ( "World.x", 1 );
  
  dbPositionCamera ( 25, 100, 100 );

  dbLoopObject ( 1 );
  dbSetObjectSpeed ( 1, 4000 );
  
 
  while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
  {
    
    dbSync ( );
  }


  return;
}

I've been using 3D world studio to create this .X file. But even when I include the .stf files with the .x file, it still doesn't load them.

Is there somthin missing here? Am I doing somthing wrong?? Should I just use a different program???

set display mode 800,600,32
sync on
sync rate 60

load object "media\world.x",1
load bitmap "your texture path",1
texture object 1,1

position camera 25,100,100

do
  sync
loop

Heres some example DBPro code that can help you out also make you sure your .X files are in the same folder as your world textures.Also it is agood idea to check out the TGC forums ;)
Btw forgot DarkBasic can't read .stf file.YOu need to assign new texures with the extensions like .tga .dds .jpg .I recommend .dds for better speeds.

Now with that code init, It won't even load the model.

World studio works with .vtf, .stf and many others. So where can I find a converter to change these textures into a .dds?

New Code:

#include "DarkGDK.h"

// the main entry point for the application is this function
void DarkGDK ( void )
{
  // turn on sync rate and set maximum rate to 60 fps
  dbSyncOn   ( );
  dbSyncRate ( 60 );
  
  
  dbLoadObject ( "World.x", 1 );
   dbLoadBitmap("Brick_Small04.jpg", 1);
   
   dbTextureObject(1, 1);
 


  dbPositionCamera ( 25, 100, 100 );

  dbLoopObject ( 1 );
  dbSetObjectSpeed ( 1, 4530 );
  
  // our main loop
  while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
  {
	 

	
    // update the screen
    dbSync ( );
	
  }

  // return back to windows
  return;
}

that was just DBPro code.
But the main thing is that .STF are made for the Leadwerks engine not for DarkBasic

I'm quite aware of that, just the model won't show up now.

Even when I use .dss, I can't tell if it's working or not because the window is just black.

[midlet_guy]

make sure you exported your model with normal .jpg or .dds textures also check if the modeland the textures are in the same folder

My screen still stays black. Nothing has changed at all

[midlet_guy]

try the set ambient light command.
Your case is very strange

[wilderbeast]

Still, the window is just black.

I might have placed the camera in the wrong place?

[midlet_guy]

Try placing camera at 0,0,0
Also is the your model only black ? Or just the whole view ?

[wilderbeast]

The entire view is black, The model won't show up.

Well i recommend to post in the TGC forums.

Well, on this machine C++ compiler has been acting like a bitch. It kept freezing, rebooting my machine. I tried it on my laptop, and the model came out fine.
