I just have a quick question about dbSaveMesh. I was trying to convert a DBO file to a X file by loading it, making a mesh from it, and then saving it as a X file.

When I tried this, though, no file was created.

Here's my code:

+ Code Snippet

void DarkGDK ( void )
{
	// turn on sync rate and set maximum rate to 60 fps
	dbSyncOn   ( );
	dbSyncRate ( 60 );

	dbSetDir("Files");

	dbLoadObject("universe.dbo", 1);
	dbMakeMeshFromObject(1, 1);

	dbSaveMesh("test.x", 1);

	// our main loop
	while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
	{
		// update the screen
		dbSync ( );
	}

	// return back to windows
	return;
}

Any ideas? Thanks!

In the dbSaveMesh command, give the dbo extension to the file name (test.dbo instead of test.x) and then it works. I don't know if the file format is correct DirectX format or not, but at least it saves a readable text file for you with the mesh data.

Thanks, that did it.

It's weird, because the output is in the X format, just has the wrong extension.

Any way, thanks again for the help!
