i tried to make a simple map using 3D World Studio and I already converted it to .x file. When i want to load it to DBPro and i tried to compile, it showed no error. But when i run it, there was a warning said that my exe file has encountered a problem and need to be closed. (I already put all the files and textures in one folder). Is it because my code or probably because the map that i made was too big to be compiled?
this is my code..

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 60

make object cube 1,10
position object 1,0,5,0
dist=30
height=15
smooth=10
load object "Project.x",2

do
gosub control
position object 1,x#,y#,z#
set camera to follow x#,y#,z#,ang#,dist,height,smooth,0
sync
loop

control:
if leftkey()=1
    dec ang#,1    
ENDIF
if rightkey()=1
    inc ang#,1
ENDIF
if upkey()=1
    move object 1,1
ENDIF
if downkey()=1
    move object 1,-1
ENDIF
x#=object position x(1)
y#=object position y(1)
z#=object position z(1)
yrotate object 1,ang#
return

i'm a newbie...

No idea.

Could you post the model?

or could you post the error?

The model has to be in the same file as the executable. So if you created a project, put your models in the same folder as the .dbpro and .dba files. Otherwise, the source code is compiled to a temporary folder, so you'll need to find that, and put your models there.

Not necessarily.

In your first post you asked:

Quote: "Is it because my code or probably because the map that i made was too big to be compiled?"

There's nothing wrong with your code so it should compile on your machine - compiling has nothing to do with the X file. On the other hand the compiled program might fail to run if there is something wrong with the X file. When you say it won't compile what error messages do you get in the DBPro editor or when you run the program? Are you sure it's not compiling or do you mean it's not running/executing? There's a big difference between the two.

Objects don't compile so it shouldn't cause the "exe file has encountered a problem" error. Try without loading this object and see if the program runs.

i'm sorry if i made a mistake in the question. I tried again and it's just like what Mobiius said. The error said the exe file has encountered a problem. it is compiled, but it won't run. Here's the thing, the map that i made is actually a combination of a few objects that i made separately. When i only insert one of those objects, it will run successfully. However when i want to make a complete map, which means i combine all of those objects, the exe file won't run. So, what is the problem with that conditions?

Perhaps the final object is too big for DBPro? I think there's a limit of something like 65536 vertices (or polys?) for a single limb. Have you tried loading all the objects together as separate objects or as separate limbs of one object?

hey, i already tried to use your method. I decrease the size of my final object and it runs successfully however the object seems can't be positioned even after i use "position object". Is this a problem with my .x files then?

+ Code Snippet

sync on
make object cube 1,10
position object 1,0,5,0
dist=30
height=15
smooth=10
load object "test1.x",2

do
gosub control
position object 1,x#,y#,z#
set camera to follow x#,y#,z#,ang#,dist,height,smooth,0
sync
loop

control:
if leftkey()=1
    dec ang#,1    
ENDIF
if rightkey()=1
    inc ang#,1
ENDIF
if upkey()=1
    move object 1,1
ENDIF
if downkey()=1
    move object 1,-1
ENDIF
x#=object position x(1)
y#=object position y(1)
z#=object position z(1)
yrotate object 1,ang#
return

and i already put my final object in this rar folder

Probably. I had to position it with Y about -1200 before the camera could see it.

Works fine otherwise.
