Any idea whay clone object should crash, the annoying thing is that it does not do it on all objects?

In particular textured '.x' objects seem to do it.

Any loaded object will crash clone object - P4 is supposed to fix it...

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

Thanks for the advice, but its definately not all loaded objects.

I have found that using the '3D Exploration' program to re-save the .x fixes allot of them (again, not all, particularly those with animations). But its just a 30 day demo I`ve got and its not worth forking out just for this small problem.

My retro game uses lots of duplicate objects, and loading them all in takes ages.

Roll on release 4.

Oh, and nice to chat to you again MrTAToad, I`ve been away for a while (I though release 4 would be old news by now, ho hum).

Anyone know a way around this? I have to have a forest with 1000+ trees at least (not all visible at the same time of course) but this really puts a kink in that plan!

P.S. This is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

Yes, use multiple load object commands...

If they are not animated then use something like:-

load object "object.x",1
load image "myobjecttexture.bmp",1
create mesh from object 1,1
make object 2,1,1
make object 3,1,1
make object 4,1,1
...
etc

Does not work with animated objects though.

Hmmm, running out of options here, I did find clone object worked occasionally, particularly when I used that '3D exploration' program to re-save the .x file, so that might be worth a try.

I wondered whether it was possible to copy the file into RAM and load it from there (which would be quicker at least) but I do not think DBPro has appropriate commands.
