Re: [osg-users] [osgPlugins] Error when loading DirectX .x files
HI Tassilo, Could you post fixes to the osg-submissions list (I believe you can do it on the forum as well) and follow the submissions protocol: http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/MailingLists/SubmissionsProtocol Thanks, Robert.

Re: [osg-users] [osgPlugins] Error when loading DirectX .x files
Hi all, as the bug is still in the reader, I would like to submit a fix that deals with 2 more cases of how to format the material names. The current version crashes when encountering materials as mentioned by Judy. I think, the format supported in the current version of mesh.cpp is not correct, as the DirectX-Viewer included in DirectX-SDK (August 2009) cannot read model files refering to materials without curly brackets. I would be happy, if someone could try the patch with other models. Thank you!

I'm going to test and see whether the .x files load faster, but I kind of doubt it. Yeah, that's not likely. The main purpose for the .ive format is to reduce load time :-) .ive is the native binary format for OSG, so it pretty much goes straight from disk to memory. --"J" ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org

Hi Judy,

As I said, this error happens no matter which of the many .x files I use. It's
not
just a warning because it does not draw the object or objects. It also happens
no
matter how many materials are listed. If there are 10 materials listed in the
.x file,
the message would say:
DirectX Loader: Error reading material list; 10 instead of 0
I thought it might mean the list should not be zero based, but changing the
numbers to
start at 1 rather than 0 doesn't help. The message still says:
DirectX Loader: Error reading material list; 1 instead of 0
I'm attaching one of the .x files that I've tried. I had to change the
extension to
".txt" in order to attach it here.
I had a look at the file you attached. The file contains references to global materials
that are referenced like '{ material-name }'.
The parser however expects materials to be without the curly braces around them (meaning
if you remove the braces around the material name it works.)
The support for global materials was added later and I don't know which is the proper
format. Unfortunately the parser is not very flexible and AFAICS is not easily modified
to handle this.

Hi, Forgot to mention that I am using Visual Studios 9 (2008) for deveoping, so this is happening on a Windows machine. Thanks!
