X file problem · Post by **X file problem** » Mon Dec 13, 2004 9:49 am

HI
I am having a problem with the panda X file loader with 3Ds max.
No matter what kind of prefrences I use in the exporter i get the same errors in Irrilict. It complins about the material and som other stuff such as the mesh not beeing able to load and also there are som problems with the X file it self when it says unexpected end of file and so forth!

if anyone has a solution to this I would like to hear it :p

Resave it in the DirectX MeshViewer that is included in the SDK and is also available at http://users.skynet.be/balleke/irrlicht/

?

Try my two x file bug fixes in the bug fixes forum. Note however that x file support is far from complete in Irrlicht at the moment.

Yeah, the same thing happened to me. The reason why is because there are 3 major types of .x files: ASCII frame, ASCII mesh, and Binary mesh. Odds are, your file is a ASCII frame, and Irrlicht uses a ASCII mesh. Believe it or not, there is a BIG difference. So if neither of the previously mentioned solutions work (odds are they will, however) I would sugest checking out one of those 3d conversion programs that support hundreds of formats. 3d Object Converter supports all 3 types of .x files. Hope I helped...

I think you can set thos ein Panda exporter easily.

ascii or binary, even in cfx...

and frame (I think i dx terminology, frame is like joint or bone...) in another place, where it has the frame settings... (root, etc)
