I am writing a 3d game and I was wondering how I can load a matrix made with MatEdit into DB and make a matrix with that. Thanks!

It shows you how in the docs, (and if I remember correctly on the web site too).

I'm sorry, but (as you can tell) I'm a noobie and didn't really understand the documentation. It wasn't really specific enough... It said something about #include, so i tried



and nothing happened... Can somebody please help me?

Thanks beavis, that has been the most helpful yet but it seems i have another problem now Here is what i have:



When executed, this returns a "File does not exist" error at line 28. Intrestingly, this is only a 20 line program... leading me to believe the error is inside loadmatrix.dba. So i opened loadmatrix.dba in DarkEdit and looked at line 28... Endif. What's going on? Thanks.

Better you visit www.matedit.com and in download section download exaple code for DB or DBP. OK? This is very simple task and there are no reason to get errors.

DB03: you do have candyland.mdf in your project folder?, otherwise you would need to make a path to it, just copy the file to the working folder.

TDK: hope you read this, I just wanted to mention, if you DON`T have p5 installed (it`s only a beta yet) then the new loader for Pro (got off your site last night) will fail at the "set matrix trim" command, I remmed it out for now , you might want to rem it out to save yourself a lot of "help...this won`t work" type E-Mails , cheers.

I don't know what the problem is... the only thing I can think of is I am using DBC not pro. Could this be the problem? I also get all sorts of errors like parameter mismatch and stuff. I'm gonna look for another matrix editor
