@SJHooks - thanks for your reply.
by 'crash' I mean that dbpro generates a message / provokes the os to generate a message saying dbpro has stopped working.
It sure seems like it should be code related but I use exactly the same code changing only the name of the file within parentheses. In brief when i use the attached code with a model from the internet all is fine, but when i make my own model with milkshape and export it as a directx8 .x file - replacing eg. 'obj_from_net.x' with 'my_model.x', the program crashes - as defined above. I have tried several model files with the same result - everytime either after a short while or immediately it crashes. any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
to export the file from ms i - file -> export -> directx8 - leaving all options on default. And I ensure the files are in the correct directory - it isnt a file missing situation.
set display mode 1280, 1024,32
color backdrop 0 : backrop on
load object "obj_from_net.x",1
position camera 0,0, -2
do
turn object left 1,1
wait 10
loop
end
