Does for anyone works DeleD exporter to .x format ??? For my in console write:
"Mesh without material found in x file". But then I export I check material box. Any suggestions?

Works for me, though I haven't done a lot with DeleD yet. Can you load the mesh in any other program which supports .x?

Wait sorry, it doesn't work for me but I know how I fixed it. The Deled export had materials with names longer than 8 characters. When loading materials from mesh files Irrlicht for some reason insists on the old DOS 8.3 maximum. The DeleD materials also used the texture name, including file extension, in the material name. I think Irrlicht may also have a problem with having the .'s in the material name, though I forget about that.
I loaded the .x level in lithunwrap, changed the material names, and was fine (I might have had to change some texture filenames too, I forget)

"Irrlicht for some reason insists on the old DOS 8.3 maximum"

curious..that was an old limit in ye olde 3ds file format... I think *.cob also, but not sure on this last one.

well irrlicht didn't like something in the material names in DeleD's .x files. Maybe it was the .'s and not the length, but I think it must have been one of those two.

Thanks guys! I with lithunwrap change material names and now it works perfectly. And a very big thank to Electron. Without your help I didn't load DeleD level with Irrlicht engine.
