DeleD Community Edition

Hey, I'm using dark basic to build a 3d game but whenever I try to load a 3d object I made in DeleD it loads it without the materials on it or anything. How can I fix this?

Hi Josh,

You are not the first user to encounter this problem. The thing is, Darkbasic (non-pro version) does NOT support the JPG fileformat, hence the textures not showing up. For the record: we didn't know this until people started to complain about this very problem

Long-term solution: DeleD will (in the future) support a convenient 'convert all textures to BMP' option.

Hotfix to your problem: convert the jpg's to .bmp with your favourite image editor. You can either do this before using them in DeleD, or after exporting the file to .X. If you choose the latter option, make sure to modify the references in the .X file as well (using notepad or some other text file editor).

Thats not entirely true. If you are using classic or enhanced you could use the load image command which would look like this

load image "filename.jpg",1

That is the only way to load them as far as I know.

Hmm, mixed signals here. We've seen troubles with loading DeleD files containing materials that had JPG's stored in them. As far as we know, Darkbasic Classic doesn't support JPG files. Yet you say it does? Can you or someone else verify this?

Well, you can use jpgs by loading them into db and applying them to an exisiting object:
