Am having problems loading the universe.dbo in to the DarkGDK project.

my first problem is, when I write the "SetCurrentDirectory("meida");" code, it only reads files from the "media" folder, so for example if I type :

"dbLoadObject( "\levelbank\testlevel\universe.dbo", 1 );"

or even SetCurrentDirectory( "\levelbank\testlevel");

it wont read it at all and the screen is black.
===========================

Second problem is, when I try to put the universe.dbo in the media folder so it can read it, the level I created is all dark and only the Light poles I put in the level work, but everything else is dark.

Can someone at least tell me what steps I should take to make sure my FPS level is loaded right with its textures on Drak GDK or Dark Basic Pro.


I already seen the tutorial video and it didn't help.

You will have to copy some other files, not just the dbo. the dbo is just a mesh AFAIK, and contains no textures. Try copying all the files to media directory.

to go to a different directory from a current one (to go up one): use "..\" the backslashes have to be escaped as well so "dbLoadObject( "levelbanktestleveluniverse.dbo", 1 );" won't work. try "dbLoadObject( "..\levelbank\testlevel\universe.dbo", 1 );" if you are in a different directory.

What are the files, I just copy the levelbank and texturesbank folders, is there any others folders I need to copy?

you mean to add this "\" or this "..\", coz I do put the directory as
"dbLoadObject( "\levelbank\testlevel\universe.dbo", 1 );" and media folers as my "SetCurrentDirectory ", so its :

"media\levelbank\testlevel\universe.dbo"

But for some reason it can't read any other folder beyond the root project folder and Media folder.

When you put in "\levelbank\testlevel\universe.dbo" the first back slash should be telling the program to look for the file starting at the root. If you it to start looking from the current directory you need to use ".\\levelbank\\testlevel\\universe.dbo"

The dot indicates current directory.

You need a double back slash because one backslash indicates an escape character whilst two backslashes indicates the actual backslash character.
