HI there,
Amazing engine, I must say.  Amazing.

Anywho,
I've been using 2d stuff up till now, trying to get 3d scenes to work,
I can't get the 3d actor to work.  Step by step this is what I have done, whats wrong?
I make a new project.
I load my 3d gemoery file and background file in defalut scene.
when I test with the 2dmolly works fine.
I copyover the trinity folder into new project actor folder
Now, if I edit game.script to

actor = Game.LoadActor3D("actors\trinity\trinity.act3d");
Game.MainObject = actor;

the enigne crashs, the 3d demo runs fine, but I can't get my own scene to run.

I've also tried this

actor = Game.LoadActor3D("actors\trinity\trinity.ms3d");
Game.MainObject = actor;

Which produces
03:19: Engine initialized in 62 ms
03:19:
03:19: 'ACTOR3D' keyword expected.
03:19: Error parsing ACTOR3D file 'actors\trinity\trinity.ms3d'

the game doesn't crash in this case, but the actor doesn't load.

Oh, and I'm running 1.5.002  not the beta

Please bare with me with the neophyte questions, plus I only have a tenuous grasp of java scripting.
Am I doing something wrong? (I'm sure I am)  Or does it have something to do with my blender made imported scene files.  A few guesses are the files are too big, or the actor is trying to load on top of a blk area, or the scale is way to small, but none of these things seem likely, I'm sure I'm just not scripting right.

[metamorphium]

as the log file correctly says, you have to change the beginning of your  act3d file definition so it will read ACTOR3D

[edit]
I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand you.
you mean the def in game.script file? chane it to
ACTOR3D = Game.Loadactor3D("actors\trinity\trinity.act3d");
Game.MainObject = ACTOR3D;
?
that causes a a blank sceen, and this log
04:09: Compiling script 'scripts\game.script'...
04:09:   Error@line 22: Variable 'ACTOR3D' is referenced but not defined
04:09: Compiling script 'scripts\game.script'...

plus when I use act3d it crashes....I only get the log file when I tried .ms3d

[Jerrot]

Well, no, don't open the ms3d file with LoadActor3D. Of course the ms3d file doesn't have the ACTOR3D keyword, that's why it complains and it wouldn't work anyway, so

Code: [Select]

actor = Game.LoadActor3D("actors\trinity\trinity.act3d");
Game.MainObject = actor;
is fine as you tried it first and I doubt the crash really is an actor issue. More probably your geometry file is crashing the engine, did you make sure you have at least one camera included? Do you have a walking plane and was it properly named in Blender before exporting it? (e.g. "walk_floor")

I think you are right, I think the enigne and camera arn't getting along.   I will work on it after I wake up.
