Using my spooooooky mind powers...



... I determine that your issue is with the paths to the textures. Ensure that the paths in the .irr file refer to the correct location relative to your Irrlicht executable or project working directory, not the location relative to the IrrEdit executable.

i dont understand you i have removed all textures to the folder media but that do not work ... i dont know how to do that de engine know where the textures are....

[rogerborg]

Some model formats have texture information encoded in the model data itelf. Others get their texture data from the .irr file. If you look in the file (it's just XML) then you'll find (for example, from media/example.irr

Code: Select all

<texture name="Texture1" value="../../media/particlewhite.bmp" />

When you load that .irr file using Irrlicht, the path will be interpreted as relative to the current working directory. You (yes, you) have to ensure that the paths specify valid relative locations.

Since you haven't given us any hint about what model formats you're using, the .irr file, or the exact errors that you're getting, I can't be more specific.

can u load the irr in irredit? where did irr file come from?

post your directory structure, your .irr, and code

[wahagn]

i can load it...if i open the .irr fil with notepad it looks so:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

better just post a link to the file, it will make everyone's life better, this .irr file is huge as you can see it's already truncated

[rogerborg]

Code: Select all

<texture name="Texture1" value="../irrlicht-1.4.2/media/zwart.jpg" /> 

That path needs to be relative to your application directory, not the Irrlicht SDK.

[jontan6]

the path/directory structure is very important when trying to load an irr file....

i suggest do the ff. (simplest)
1. when using irredit, save the .irr in the directory where irredit.exe is located
2. place your application.exe where the .irr and irredit.exe is.... and just simply have in your code load the .irr file (no more path since its in the same directory as ur exe)

try it

[wahagn]

okay... than i must reamove the .iir to irredit 1.4.2.... but how do you mean a aplication.exe i dont have

[jontan6]

application.exe means your irrlicht program you wrote to load the irr

[roelor]

make it so
irredit -> irrscene
irredit - > media (models and such)
and then copy your program directory
program -> irrscene
program -> media (models and such)
