.b3d from Maplet won't load...
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/.b3d from Maplet won't load...
| ||
| I've created a level in Maplet, exported it as a .b3d file, and tried to load it with LoadMesh(). However, when I test to see if the mesh loaded correctly, I find that it does not exist. To try to locate the source of the problem, I created a simple map in Maplet consisting of a small rectangle and exported it as both .b3d and .x. I loaded both into the same bit of code with LoadMesh(), and, while the .x file worked, the .b3d file did not. What is causing this? Am I forgetting to do something or using the wrong function, or is there a bug with the software? |
| ||
| Are the program and the .b3d file in the same folder? |
| ||
| Yes, they are in the same folder. |
| ||
| Does it say entity does not exist? |
| ||
| I originally had the code set up to assign a collision type to the map, and then, yes, it generated an error message saying the entity did not exist. I also typed a bit of code right after loading the mesh to print something to the debug log if the handle equaled 0. |
| ||
| Can you post the code? |
| ||
There's not much to post, but here it is...Graphics3D 1440,900
SetBuffer BackBuffer()
Global camera = CreateCamera()
Global map = LoadMesh("test.b3d")
If map = 0
DebugLog "check"
EndIf
Const C_PLAYER = 0, C_MAP = 1
Collisions C_PLAYER,C_MAP,2,3
EntityType camera,C_PLAYER
EntityType map,C_MAP
Keep in mind that this much of it seems to work when the .b3d is changed to .x . |
| ||
| Seems like there's something wrong with the b3d export. That code looks fine to me. (Assuming the DebugLog comes up with the "Check" message) |
| ||
| i supose that you have no problem with the "testa.b3d" that cames with maplet. here it is: http://odriozola.juanignacio.googlepages.com/testa.zip verify the current directory ( debuglog currentdir() ) is the directory where your files are, otherwise LoadMesh will return a 0. Juan |
| ||
| Malice: Yes, the DebugLog does come up with the message. Charrua: The "testA.b3d" doesn't work either... I know it's looking in the right directory, for, when I try to load another image in the same directory, it loads just fine. |
| ||
| so your problem isn't maplet or your level or the .b3d files. tell me, some of the samples demos (i.e. Castle Demo) has some problem to load the .b3d? Juan |
| ||
| Sorry it took so long to respond. The internet was down. The samples seem to load just fine, but I can't find one that was included with Blitz3D that uses .b3d. |
| ||
| sorry but seems that no sample has a .b3d (i didn't know that) did you try the testa.b3d that i posted? it should load properly, if it didn't work, i really don't know what hapen to you! wich version of blitz are you using? but i supose that any should work ok with .b3d. Juan |
| ||
| This is a real ling shot.. but have you considered changing the graphics resolution / mode? |
| ||
| Maybe try reinstalling Maplet. |
| ||
| Charrua: The sample you posted didn't work. I'm using V1.64. AJ00200: Reinstalling Maplet didn't help. It was a good idea, though. Malice: I changed it to Graphics3D 640,480,16,2 , but it did not have any effect. Thanks for all the help. Sorry that I can't give you any more information about the problem. Also, I've noticed that Maplet crashes when you try to export a larger map to .x. Is there a way to get around this (other than breaking the map into smaller bits, of course)? |
| ||
| I would update to the lateset version of Blitz just incase its that. |
| ||
| I updated Blitz3D to the newest version, and it now loads .b3d files. I thought it would end up being something simple. Thanks! |
| ||
| B3D support - well, the birth of the format itself - was added long time after Version 1.64. |
