Textures

[Pfaber11]

Hello I'm having a problem with texturing a model. when I use a model I've bought in the 3d asset pack I can change and play with the textures and get some promising results . However when I create my own models using wing3d and save it as an .x object then I try to apply a texture it displays as a blank model with no texture. I used the .x format because that's what TGC have used in the 3d asset pack. The png textures are a 200x200 .png file . Can anybody throw any light on this. Once I've sorted this out it's shader time.

Here's my code for putting the texture on but it just won't work. I guess I could consider just using plain coloured models but really need to get this texture thing down . It works fine with models I've purchased but not with my own models .

diffusetexture1 = LoadImage("MAZEGAME.png")
myobject1 = LoadObject("paul.X")
SetObjectImage(myobject1,diffusetexture1,1)
//SetObjectColor(myobject1,100,0,0,0)
SetCameraPosition(1,410,400,100)
SetObjectPosition(myobject1,420,400,135)
sync()

do
MoveObjectLocaly(myobject1,-.1)

RotateObjectlocalx(myobject1,1)
RotateObjectlocalz(myobject1,1)
RotateObjectlocaly(myobject1,1)
Print( ScreenFPS() )

if getobjecty(myobject1) <= 380
setobjectposition(myobject1,420,400,135)

endif
sync()
loop

Try changing SetObjectImage(myobject1,diffusetexture1,1)
to SetObjectImage(myobject1,diffusetexture1,0)

Also make sure that filenames are correct and in the correct folder.  Check case as well.

You may be able to get a better answer from the agk forums than here.
If you still can't get it to work, it might help if we have a copy of your .x file and texture so we can see what may be wrong.

Not sure if this'll work but here we go these are the files.

I have tried all I can think of and tried using a .obj file but get the same results. When I export the model to .x or .obj it asks me if I want to use .png for texture and I say yes so don't get it . maybe it's wings 3d but I doubt it . Does anybody here use wings 3d. ?

..well..AGK is somewhat a mystery..i have had long time messing with loading simple cube (b3d) with lightmap texture created for it..none of commands work at all, while same cube worked just fine in any other 3d renderer i have had avail to try..most bizarre moment was, when i realized that example supplied by AGK, uses lightmap on a OBJ format which doesnt support 2nd UV map channel, while those which does (X, B3D), simply doesnt work..after that i just dropped whole thing as i had no patience to bother myself with figuring out something straightforward as applying 2 textures on a cube .. im curious to hear how it will work out for you..

When I did the Comet Killer game I exported in obj format but I had to texture on UV2 rather than UV1. No idea why I needed to do that but it worked.

AGK is great for 2D with Box2D built-in and a very simple language that runs on many platforms, as for full 3D features?  Not so much.

When I did the Comet Killer game I exported in obj format but I had to texture on UV2 rather than UV1. No idea why I needed to do that but it worked.

Hopefully that is of help, some documentation clarification would be good, rather than Qube and NA guessing lol.

ok guys thanks for the input . I just don't get why it works with TGC 3d assets but doesn't work with my own . I Think I'll have to try out all the formats and see what I can come up with . I'll report back when I get it sorted .

[Pfaber11]

Well I thought it might have something to do with wings 3d so got the latest blender 2.8 and it's still got the same problems so nothing to do with the creation software which is good as I really like the simplicity of wings 3d and will be happy to keep using it . I'm sure blender 2.8 is very good indeed but I find it a little too complicated. I also use mtpaint for the same reasons .
So as it stands I am no closer to a solution . If I have any progress I'll let you know . Might try TGC forum and see what they've got to say .

..i have used 3dsmax for models (X, OBJ, FBX), and none worked with AGK..then tested with GILES and exported lightmaps and all works fine in several different engines..but not with AGK , and i did follow exact documentation instruction...after that i have deleted whole thing and havent look back..

The paul.x file you posted doesn't seem load correctly in NB either.

[Pfaber11]

I just tried to put a texture onto cubes spheres and cones and it works no problem so it's something to do with the models .
The textures also work with the models supplied in the TGC 3d asset pack . So somehow it's something to do with the models themselves . I've tried .obj .3ds .x files and it just won't work. The models display but without the texture. I'm missing something . Anyway if anybody could throw some light on the matter I would be most grateful .
The reason I used the .x file is that's what TGC use in their asset pack .

The paul.x file has no texture UV coordinates set.  That is why you don't see anything when you add the texture.  Is there an option when you save to export UV or texture with the .x file?

[TomToad]

Just downloaded Wings 3d.  There is an option for saving UV coordinates with the .x file.  Seems to work fine for me.
