I'm running through the Dark GDK tutorials, and on the 3D objects tutorial it tells me to use dbObjectLoad or dbLoadObject. When i give it the name of the .X file that comes with it, it just hangs. i've made sure it's spelled correctly and i dont get any compile time errors. Has anyone seen this before?

where has the file been stored? I must be in your project folder, not debug or anything else.

this is my code:



it hangs on the line dbLoadObject ("Colonel-X.X", 1 );

Colonel-X.X is in the same file as main.cpp and the solution file. i've tried other .x files and the same thing happens with them.

You need a dbSync() before the return, otherwise it won't update.

I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order, like they should be.

it hangs on that line because i put in a dbText line before and after. it doesnt display the second one. it could be the sync isure though. i'll look into it.

update:
i put breakpoints in every line and it hangs on exactly that line

here's my new code:
#include "DarkGDK.h"
void DarkGDK ( void )
{

dbSyncOn ( );
dbSyncRate ( 60 );
dbText(0,0,"Test1");
dbSync ();
dbLoadObject ( "Colonel-X.X", 1 );
dbText(0,15, "Test2");

dbSync ( );

return;
}

The code you posted won't compile on my system. You need to have a loop in there. Also the order in which you display stuff is important. This code compiles and works fine on my system :-


Make doubly sure you've spelt the name of the file correctly, no errors are reported if GDK can't find it.
