What i would like to know is how could i get it to show the textures and stop giving me all there errors, any help would be appreciated

Are you opening the .x file from the directory where it was (where all of the textures for it are) or are you moving it without copying the textures also? I'm pretty sure that the .x models need the textures in the same directory as them.

Yeah the .dds file is there, is this the one i need?

this is an example of what the folder contains:

I don't think the textures can be viewed in the directx viewer anyway. I get the same thing, just a black-shaded zombie.

For me all the models that came with DGDK had messed-up filenames. Open the X file in Notepad and search for the file format of the texture, this should hopefully bring you to the texture file name. In my case the file name was an absolute path, i.e. C:/Program Files/blah blah blah and did not match where my installation was, so I removed everything except the texture name and it worked.

I looked in the file and the only thing i found that had a mention of a filename was:

TextureFilename {
"USA.BMP";
}

I tried changing it to USA.DDS but that didnt work this is the USA soldier now BTW
