If you don't have the bmp for the model, just skip the request. It should load the model without a skin. You can also download lot of free models for GameStudio engine from the resources page. And use them for doing your exploration.

Okay, let me give that a try. I'll report back as soon as I get results.

Grrr...It displays the same image! Is there an setting to clear the cache or something? It seems that the engine is not letting go of old models. Like its not updating. Does it matter that I'm using the free version?

Are you sure that you are running the correct script? You can tell from the Preferences window. In SED there also is a checkbox which if enabled will run the current active script in the script editor. Here is what I do to load a simple model and attach function to it with Lite-c Pure Code:

---

#define PRAGMA_PATH "%EXE_DIR%\templates\models";

#include <acknex.h>

ENTITY* gsmodel;

void rotate_cube()
{
	while(1)
	{
		my.pan +=3*time_step;
		my.roll +=3*time_step;
		wait(1);
	}
}

void main()
{
	level_load(NULL);
	gsmodel = ent_create("cube.mdl",vector(0,0,0),rotate_cube);
	
	while(1)
	{
		camera.x = -100;
		camera.y = 0;
		wait(1);
	}
}

okay, now I know somethings wrong. Its still displaying the SAME picture when I run. I have no other tabs open, and not even the same model! Let me make a new script and see if that one is corrupt...

I'm getting frustrated now. The window just opens and closes instantly. This is really annoying...

Can you try adding -diag to the engine command window. This will create a log inside the same directory as the current script you are running. Inside (acklog.txt) you can find some hints about the problem? Your system is up to date Windows? DirectX9, videocard drivers?

ah, it looks like it needs a level. it says:
Malfunction W1517: lite-C - no level!
lite-C - no level! - any key to abort
Program aborted

So what should I do?

I'm using your code, so I'm not sure that the pragrama code is working poperly, as I'm not using game studio, just lite-c. So, should I try to add a black level?

So when I put in my hmp file, did it consider that a "level"?

Wait, I just saw that command you put it, level_load(NULL). So why does it still want a level?
