.X Path Parser

I'm not sure what you are trying to do exactly. What's in this file?

There are a couple ways to load a .x file - one is to load it into a mesh object which is Mesh.FromFile with various parameters. This is the way you'd load it for drawing.

But I think you want it for something else? If you want to parse out a .x file, use the class family that has names starting with "XFile". - XFile, XFileLoader, XFileData, XFileInfo, etc.

But if all you want is a series of x/y/z points for your character to travel along, I don't really understand why you need a .x file for that. Certainly you could do it, but what's wrong with a generic text file with a series of points?

this file is like a dummy that contains a line curve for my character to follow as a path , i used Mesh.Fromfile but it is not loading it , and for the text file that contains a set of point's i don't think it is a good idea coz i am using a way with alot of curves this means alot of points and these points canot be accurate .

but for (( names starting with "XFile". - XFile, XFileLoader, XFileData, XFileInfo, etc. ))
i am trying to use them to load my file but i really don't know how to use them so if u have a little code that would help me in using them please post them ok thanx for ur help.

When you say it is not loading it, is the Mesh being filed with garbage, or nothing at all? Have you checked to see that it can actually find the file?

You might want to look into using splines or bezier curves. With them you can define perfectly smooth arcs and curves with very few points.

Good luck!
