How do you use lightmaps in dbc?

Hi All,
Sorry but I've never used DarkBasic Classic, so I really don't know Very Happy

.

I'm changing my mind on DBO plugin, cause developing Irrlicht DMF Loader I've noticed that it's more simple and maybe useful create a DMF loader (it's a third party dll) for DarkBasic Pro, so you'll maybe get more useful info in DarkBasic.
Anyway I'll let you the choice. I'm currently waiting for DarkBasic updates for bug fixes and to know DBO file format new specifications.
In the meanwhile please let me know what you'll need more a DBO exporter plugin for DeleD or a DMF loader for DarkBasic Pro. Very Happy

I think that this will be a better way to proceed. Well when TGC will release a new DBO format (or in a month if they won't , I'll then use old format) you'll decide what is better for you.
Bye

Hi Guys,
Good news, The Game Creators just released new DBO format description and new DarkBasicPro 5.8 update.
After DMFLoader for Irrlicht 1.2 release I'll restart coding a DBO exporter plugin for DeleD.
I think you'll be happy to know this. I'll finish in a week more or less starting from thursday.
Bye All Very Happy

Hi All,
I've started development of DBO plugin, I'm creating saving functions at the moment and I'll try to save a simple triangle.
Then I'll go on.
Stay tuned for more news.
Bye Wink

Keep it up, Il Buzzo! Very Happy

I really like how they now distribute full documentation on the .dbo file format (including C++ loader example), they didn't do that before, did they?

Hi all,
I've created my first DBO file it's a simple triangle, but saving structure works really well.
A beta will released soon.

Hi All,
Here you are a sample of DBO exported mesh multitextured.

and after exporting:

For the moment everything works (multitexture UV are correctly exported etc...) but it seems there is a little bug in loading more than one texture for face (Due to DBPro), in fact they are exported in DBO correctly but then are not loaded in DBPro, you must do it manually from within DBPro.
I'm waiting for TGC answer to this problem.

Great job II Buzzo (as usual)! Btw, is this plugin PRO only?

Hi Jeroen,
Well, for now is just an exe that takes DMFFile parse it and then generate DBO structure.
I'll integrate in a DLL once finished but I think it will work for both version with just limitations due to DeleD Lite not to loader itself.
I'll know more when I'll definitively integrate it in a DLL.

Hi All,
I've solved all troubles with DBO format (there was an error in documentation, I found looking into a correct multitextured DBO made by DBPro 5.8 Cool

) .
Now each texture layer is correctly loaded just using the following code in DBPro:

Hi Guys,
Just a screenshot before:

It's from DeleD sample of warehouse, I've tested sacredplace and castlesiege too without troubles.
I've also sent an exe version to 2 beta testers (G-Man and Black Shadow), I'm finishing my scheduled work with DBO exporter this week (at least I think, need some more tweaks...), but this is the right way......
Bye Wink

More news tomorrow I'm tired Wink
