X File Load Error

lesPaul456 · Post by **lesPaul456** » Sat Jan 02, 2010 5:31 pm

Hello,

Whenever I tried to load .x files from one of my model packs, I get an error saying that only uncompressed .x files are supported. I didn't create the models.

Does anyone know how I load these files?

Are they in like a zipped file? If so try doing:

device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("file");

and then under it load your .x file

No, their not in a zip file.

What kind of file is it then, since you said model pack. It would be helpful to know so I could try to help

It's a .x file from a model pack. Each model from the pack gives the same error.

I couldn't say but from the file type and the error I would say that the files are corrupted.

It's weird. I can open the models using DarkGDK. However, I can't open them using Blender or Irrlicht...

That is very odd.

I found out that the model is a .x compressed binary file, which is not supported by Irrlicht.

You would need to uncompress the file, sadly I don't know how to uncompress .x files

I'm not even sure if its possibly

Thanks for the help DarkRage4.

I was able to find a link to an older version of MView.exe, which I can use to open some (but not all) of the models, and then save them as uncompressed .x files.

Thanks again!

Glad to hear you got it mostly figured out
