i was just messing around with darkbasic pro to learn new stuff and i cant get the load mesh to work even though i do EXACTLY the same thing that the demo projects have. here is my code. i used the hero.x model from the roomdemo. the message i get is "cant load object "guy.x" in line 9. dont bother about the rest of the code for it works but it just wont load the mesh.

sync on
sync rate 60
make object cube 1,25
make matrix 1,500,500,50,50
position matrix 1,0,0,0
load image "vizard mask.jpg",1
prepare matrix texture 1,1,50,50
make object sphere 2,25
load mesh "guy.X",3
load image "guy.tga",2
do
CX=camera position X()
CY=camera position Y()
CZ=camera position Z()
OX=object position X(3)
OY=object position Y(3)
OZ=object position Z(3)
RO=object angle X(3)
LO=object angle Y(3)
MX=mousex()
MY=mousey()
MZ=mousez()
position camera OX+100,35,OZ
point camera OX,35,OZ
if keystate(17)=1 then move object 1,2
if keystate(30)=1 then turn object left 1,2
if keystate(31)=1 then move object 1,-2
if keystate(32)=1 then turn object right 1,2
sync
loop

I'm really not sure about this, but is it possible that "guy.X" is animated, and therefore you can't load it as a mesh? Also, why do you need to load it as a mesh? Wouldn't an object be the best solution?

It might be a good idea to also post "guy.X" here so we can check it for potential errors

I don't get that message - I get "Object does not exist at line 15". That error is correct because you don't have an object 3.

I've just tested your code using the "hero" model (confusingly called "ROOMDEMO.X" on my machine ) and your code works fine - as long as you don't try to refer to the non-existent object 3.

Meshes are NOT objects - they are used to create objects using make object. Any reason why you are using load mesh rather than load object?

I suspect the reason why you are getting an error at line 9 is that your "guy.x" model is in the wrong folder. It should be in the project folder along with the dba file and other media.

The following works for me (it looks odd because the objects need positioning and scaling and the camera needs to be repositioned). Note the line I've added.
