    Question multiple file loading. so fruturated! help!

    ok. In my engine, i'm using the MS3D file loading code from a NeHe tutorial. problem is, the loader only loads and renders 1 file. I need to load and render multiple files at once. Iv'e spend the last 2 hours trying to figure out how to modify the loader to handle more than 1 file without much luck. Heres the code:

    model.cpp
    Code:
    /*
    	Model.cpp
    
    		Abstract base class for a model. The specific extended class will render the given model.

    I'm completely stuck. Ive tried everything I could think of, and nothing works.
    Please help if you can! Thanx in advance!

    Given the little information you give, I can only suggest creating multiple Model objects to allow multiple models to be rendered...

    ah, sorry. I'll try and elabourate a bit more. If it dosn't help, let me know

    Well, basicly, I need a model loading setup similar to OGL texture loading. As in, I need to load models into an array, and then tell the draw function which model from the array to render.

    Pseudo code:
    Code:
    void world::init()
    {
        model->LoadModel(modelArray, "model.ms3d", 12);
        model->LoadModel(modelArray, "model2.ms3d", 13);
    }
    void world::render()
    {
         model->Draw(12);
    }
    The problem is, I don't know how to add this capibility to the loader I have.

    Again, if you need me to elabourate any more, just let me know.

    Code:
    void world::init()
    {
        model1->LoadModel(modelArray, "model.ms3d", 12);
        model2->LoadModel(modelArray, "model2.ms3d", 13);
    }
    void world::render()
    {
         model1->Draw(12);
         model2->Draw(12);
    }

    well, that would work fine, except for my purposes, having hardcoded path names with different model objects isn't going to work (sorry. I knew I forgot to mention somthing in the last post, lol). Thats why I posted the pseudo code the way I did, although your not a mind reader...or are you?? lol. Basicly, I need a model loading system, exactly like the OGL texture loading system.
