Hi All,
Yes obviously SKATER, but as guest said, the problem is due to file (zip format) forbidden maybe!!
Let me know if you have another address!!
Bye

rename the extension from myfile.zip to myfile.thisisazip or something like that. That usually gets through with out issue

Hi All,
Maybe you'll know that from Irrlicht 0.10.0 DMF loading is included directly in Irrlicht (but remember that some particular functions like water an lights loading aren't).
So owing to the fact that to load a DMF files you need to put the needed textures in the same dir of scene file, I've written a small plugin for DeleD which makes this operation for you.
You can download it from:

You can give a look to DeleD forums Thread post here:

Bye All

Wouldn't be more profesional to actualy make Irrlicht have a Testure_Default_Dir that you can set and from with all textures can be loaded like you can specifie the MY3D_Texture_Dir wich is actualy the dir where the lightmaps are but it work for those(where ever you want to put theme).
I'm trying to do that right now the way was made for my3d textures, I now how it must be done but I must track the ponit where every SceneLoader loads texture and add that Deafault_Texture_Dir to the textures name and is alot of work but I'll do it finaly.

Think about my idea.
Good luck.

thnx Salvatore for making it easier!

I was exporting to .x to get the textures exported with the file and then placing my dmf there!

not anymore...

Hi All,
Thanks for comments.
@katoun
I think that I'll add the possibility to set default dirs for textures and lightmaps in the next version of loader but to tell the truth I prefere using a zipfile containing scene files and needed textures.So each level is just a new zipfile.
Anyway this is just my way, I don't pretend anyone to use this but owing to textures and lightmaps size it's my favourite.
I'll just make a little more clearing (remove not needed textures from loader to avoid all that messages of error).
Bye All

Hi Deis,
The guest was me.

P.S.: I've created a new version of the loader when you can set a default directory for textures, I'll put it online soon after I'll debug it a little bit

I put the .h files in the Irrlicht include folder and imported the .cpp file into my DevC++ project and put:

Code: Select all

    CDMFLoader DMFLoader = CDMFLoader(driver);
    smgr->addExternalMeshLoader(&DMFLoader); 
	IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh(level1.dmf);
    smgr->addOctTreeSceneNode(mesh);

but it gives me this error:

116 C:\irrlicht-0.10.0\ArmedAssault\main.cpp `CDMFLoader' undeclared (first use this function)

Any idea why? I did everything that you did in the example (except the open dialog stuff. I defined my own level in it's place)

Hi NexusInteractive,
Since from 0.10.0 DMF loading is included in Irrlicht you don't need to use DMFLoader 1.2 unless you want to load dynamic lights or water plains.
You just need to use:

Code: Select all

IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh(level1.dmf);
smgr->addOctTreeSceneNode(mesh);

and the game is done.
Having said this, if you need other extensions or you want to modiphy the format use my DMFLoaderSDK and I'll try to solve this problem.
Have you included in your main project :

Code: Select all

#include <CDMFLoader.h>
and not
#include "CDMFLoader.h"

if not this a possible source of the error, cause with " the file is searched in the project directory while with <> in your defined paths (Irrlicht in this case).
So try to put all needed files (.h and .cpp) in your project main dir using #include "CDMFLoader.h" and include CDMFLoader.cpp in your project.
Everything should work this way, if not, let me know.
Bye
