I tried using this command in the simplest scenario possible, but it doesn't do anything!`

I created a plain DarkGDK project.
Then I loaded a character model (of which I know that limbs get recognized properly) and loaded a simple image.
When I use dbTextureLimb(obj,limb,image) nothing happens.
(I know that I used the correct limb-id)
dbSetLimbEffect() doesn't seem to work either!

Am I missing something or is this command just broken?
Has anybody got this to work?

Now the plot thickens, the fps decreases, and the awesomeness goes through the roof.

To clarify a bit here is some code:

+ Code Snippet

int obj = 1;
dbLoadObject ( "DemoMan.x", obj );
dbScaleObject ( obj, 500, 500, 500 );

int grass = 10;
dbLoadImage ( "grass.png", grass );

int effect = 1;
dbLoadEffect ( "Color.fx", effect, 0 );

int limb = 17;
dbScaleLimb ( obj, limb, 200, 200, 200 ); // just to know if it's the right limb

// Texture
dbTextureLimb ( obj, limb, grass );

// Effect
dbSetLimbEffect ( obj, limb, effect );

Maybe somebody can try it (put it in a plain GDK app) and tell me if it's working! Please! (very important for me)
Sample media is attached (put it in same folder as Main.cpp). The shader effect should just color the limb red.

Now the plot thickens, the fps decreases, and the awesomeness goes through the roof.

I've had this same problem, for some reason texturing limbs makes the object disappear for me.

I have a somewhat strange solution that works for me:

I animated my model in FragMotion. Then I first exported it to Milkshape-format (.ms3d), then I imported this back to FragMotion (!) and exported again, but to .x-file this time! Sounds weired but it works.

@ luke810: Are you trying to export an animated or a static model?

Um... all I can say is 1: Glad it worked 2: that's kinda odd 3: it's also kind of funny! 4: How the heck did you figure that out? LOL
