    Resolved How do I load a X File [Resolved]

    I'm using DirectX 8 and I was wanting to load a X File I have, the only thing is its not a text X file. If I open it in Notepad its mostly symbols. Is there a procedure in DirectX for loading these X Files?

    Thanx for any help.

    Well the one I've got is 469KB and it opens in the "Mesh Viewer" that comes with the DirectX SDK but when I open it in notepad its far from plain text.

    Here we go I think I got it, I found this in a tutorial, just:
    Code:
    Dim D3DX As D3DX8
Set Mesh = D3DX.LoadMeshFromX(App.Path & "\Filename.x", D3DXMESH_MANAGED, D3DDevice, Nothing, mtrlBuffer, nMaterials)
    Thanx for the help anyway tho.
