I have all my files in the same folder as my .exe, and in it's media folder, I also tried including everything in the .exe, but whenever I run my program, I get this error:


After that happened, I tried taking out the LOAD IMAGE and TEXTURE OBJECT commands, then I got this error:


I also tried the commands with and without quoting the filenames.

Here are the commands that i am using, are they wrong or something?

Image:


Model (NOTE: ObjectID has already been declared as a variable):

DBP is not finding your files. (It seems like it should, but I don't think it is). Within your program, you need to use 'SET DIR path$' (where 'path$' is the path to the folder holding your files). You could also do it longhand (i.e. load image "C:\Program Files\Dark Basic\myproj\sentrybot.bmp",1).

You say you created a media folder? You may need to do it like this then:



You have to make sure that dark basic knows exactly where your file is. If you put it in a folder within your project folder, you need to include that in your file name. If you copied it directly into the folder with the exe, then your code is what you need.

If you used a media folder and the models and images are in a folder called media,than you need to use

But if you have the model sentribox.x inside the exe folder (not inside any other folder in the exe folder,than you can use the code you used in your fist code)

If my project folder was C:/project, I tried putting the image and model files in C:/project, C:/project/media, and also including it in the .exe file and none of them worked.

I have no idea why, but it suddenly started working now, but I didn't change anything.........

Thanks for your help anyhow guys!!!......now I've got a ton of other problems to deal with......
