Hello,

I am having a problem understanding the directory requirements to run an .exe. outside of visual. In fact I can run the exe by copying the file from the release directory constructed by visual to the directory above - no problem. What I do not understand is why I need to do this if I have no media being used except for an explicit path in the code for a model.

The code is a modified version of the tutorial on using 3dws files with DarkGDK.

Now, if I run this code in the release directory, I get no model in the display. On the other hand if I run from the directory above then everything is fine (no textures loaded but I understand that).

Can someone explain the directory dependency? There is obviously something other than the media involved.

Here is the line where I specify the model to load.

Try adding this code:



above the line where you load your model file, just to check if the model file can be found by your app.


Edit: If the file can be found then it's a either problem with your code which loads the model or displays it.
