There seems to be a prob with the x exporter. When you load it into Irrlicht, you get this in the opening console:

loaded x file with material
couldn't load "whocares.xyz"
loaded x file with material
couldn't load "whocares.xyz"
loaded x file with material
couldn't load "whocares.xyz"
loaded x file with material
couldn't load "whocares.xyz"
missing semicolon in vector array
unknown object: header

(This isn't EXACTLY what it looks like but it's pretty close to it)
Then, when the game starts, it will be black, and flat-shaded.

I guess 4 now I'll have to use the dmf reader.

It could be either the DeleD X exporter or the Irrlicht X import routine. Does the X file load in other apps (like MS Meshviewer)?

OK, I think I know what the problem may be. I think there are two .x formats:
.X; DirectX Format, and .X, DirectX8.1 format.

Not exactly, there are numerous revisions of the .x file format (check the first line of the .x file), but they run asynchronous from the DirectX version.

The thing is, DeleD's exported .X files should run fine if you use the latest version of both irrlicht and DeleD. I know so because I tried. There is a small bug in the irrlicht .X loading code (like I reported in http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5794 ), but since 1.1 DeleD compensates for that.

So if you are experiencing problem, you either have different Irrlicht / DeleD versions than I used to test with, or there is something different (bigger? corrupted? special content?) about your .X file. Would it be possible to send the .X file to me, so I can have a look ( paul [at] delgine [dot] com )? Did you test things with any special irrlicht application or just generic loading code?
