So I posted a few days ago about preserving materials in .X files for use in DarkBASIC.

I can save the UVW Diffuse Map as a .bmp "skin" for .X files and it works just fine -- well mostly fine but its workable.

I thought I had my issue solved, but when I edit the mesh then unwrap the same object things go weird in DarkBASIC.

So what am I doing wrong here?

http://www.pneumatica.org/objects/BeerCan.zip

This file contains an object that is supposed to look like a "Beer Can" style inflatable paintball bunker. I unwrapped the object to put some bumpmapping and decals on but when I load it as-is into DarkBASIC...well...you can see for yourself.

The file contains:
--BeerCan.max
--BeerCan.x
--BeerCan.bmp (the unwrapped diffuse map I wanted to use as a "skin")
--BeerCan.dba (source for a DarkBASIC test application)
--BeerCan.EXE (Compiled application -- it is an exe -- so I won't be offended if you recompile it yourself)

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Keep in mind if I simply add a material to the ChamferCylinder and do the same thing, everything works fine. It goes wacky in DarkBASIC when I edit the mesh.

I think it's the black on the texture, it's showing as transparent, try changing the black colour for dark grey and see if that gives you what your after.

There's no black on the texture...its blue and red. Check the BMP file. That's an unwrapped skin (like in the DB "walking" example program) not a generic texture.

The skin is not wrapping around the object the way it was unwrapped. That's my problem. But I don't know what it is I'm doing wrong to cause it.

er... i looked into it, but the texture isn't as the uvw map shows... i mean, take a look for yourself, unless thats not your uvw and texture, i recomend you start from this...

[edit]
I made a fast texture matching the uvw and it worked, so that was your problem, unless there's something else you hadn't told us...
