How to load x-file from byte-array

[Mr Mint]

Sry that it´s me again, but its gonna frustrating.

I thought I could load the mesh from resource, like I did with my texture.
So I loaded the file checked if all is ok then switch to LoadFromResource, but the function I saw is from DX9 not DX8. So I´m wondering if I could load my mesh from a resource.

Till now I got the x-file loaded from resource into a bytearray, but don´t know how to create the meshobject (like Set meshobject = D3DXLoadMeshFromXInMemory). The only way I found that comes a little bit closer to the solution is the function D3DX8.LoadMeshFromXof. Here I can parse the data for myself (never tried, but keep on walking) but it still needs a file.

This is where I am till now, maybe I have something overlooked but at the moment I´m running in circles.

Thanks for viewing.

DirectX 8 should have some function (or set of functions) that allow you to load a mesh from a file name and creates a mesh object for you. Honestly, the best thing would be to search through the SDK examples/tutorials that came with the DirectX8 SDK on how to load an X file in DX8. It should give you all the code needed.

Also, take a look over at http://directx4vb.vbgamer.com/ under the DirectX8 tutorials. I think they have code there to load an X file.

Thank you fartman for your answer,

perhaps I havn´t explained it right, because I want to load the mesh from an x-file I put into a resource-container. There is a function for textures (D3DXTextureFromMemory) but no method like D3DXLoadMeshFromXInMemory. This method is in DX9 available but not in DX8.
