Anybody have any .obj file to ALLEGRO_VERTEX code?

So I wrote a routine to load a blender .obj file into my program. This is just a simple cube:

{"name":"608542","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/f\/efc6caeda9d0a6762939e1e1b5eaec9b.png","w":644,"h":509,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/f\/efc6caeda9d0a6762939e1e1b5eaec9b"}608542

That exports like this:

# Blender v2.64 (sub 0) OBJ File: ''
# www.blender.org
o Cube
v 300.000000 -300.000000 -299.999969
v 300.000000 -300.000000 300.000000
v -300.000031 -300.000000 299.999939
v -299.999878 -300.000000 -300.000122
v 300.000153 300.000000 -299.999847
v 299.999817 300.000000 300.000183
v -300.000122 300.000000 299.999878
v -299.999969 300.000000 -300.000000
s off
f 1 2 3 4
f 5 8 7 6
f 1 5 6 2
f 2 6 7 3
f 3 7 8 4
f 5 1 4 8

And when displayed it looks like this:

{"name":"608541","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/c\/ec2f741c5e888f24a33d98427083e1f5.png","w":644,"h":509,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/c\/ec2f741c5e888f24a33d98427083e1f5"}608541

So obviously I'm getting something right. It looks like the coordinates are being imported correctly, but not being drawn correctly. I tried different ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPEs because it seems like that might be what's causing it to not work, and they changed the way it displayed but never displayed correctly. I tried reversing the order of the vertexes, cause, who knows that might do something. ???

here's the import function:

#SelectExpand
1class Model 2{ 3public: 4 std::vector<std::vector<ALLEGRO_VERTEX>> face; 5 ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE prim_type; 6 ALLEGRO_BITMAP *texture; 7 //placement3d place; 8 9 Model(); 10 11 void clear(); 12 void scale(float x, float y, float z); 13 void move(float x, float y, float z); 14 void move_to(float x, float y, float z); 15 16 void set_texture(ALLEGRO_BITMAP *t); 17 18 void load_obj(std::string filename, ALLEGRO_COLOR color); // see below 19 20 void draw(); 21}; 22 23 24 25 26void Model::load_obj(std::string filename, ALLEGRO_COLOR color=al_map_rgb_f(1, 1, 1)) 27{ 28 clear(); 29 30 31 std::ifstream in(filename, std::ios::in); 32 if (!in) 33 { 34 std::cerr << "Cannot open " << filename << std::endl; 35 //exit(1); 36 } 37 38 //prim_type = ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE::ALLEGRO_PRIM_TRIANGLE_LIST; 39 //prim_type = ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE::ALLEGRO_PRIM_TRIANGLE_STRIP; 40 prim_type = ALLEGRO_PRIM_TYPE::ALLEGRO_PRIM_TRIANGLE_FAN; 41 //ALLEGRO_PRIM_TRIANGLE_FAN; 42 43 //vec3d vec; 44 //Face *current_face = face; 45 46 std::string line; 47 std::vector<ALLEGRO_VERTEX> *current_face = NULL; 48 std::vector<ALLEGRO_VERTEX> dummy_face; 49 float x, y, z; 50 while (getline(in, line)) 51 { 52 if (line.substr(0,2) == "o ") 53 { 54 face.push_back(dummy_face); 55 current_face = &face.back(); 56 } 57 else if (line.substr(0,2) == "v ") 58 { 59 std::istringstream s(line.substr(2)); 60 s >> x; s >> y; s >> z; 61 current_face->push_back(build_vertex(x, y, z, color, 0, 0)); 62 } 63 else if (line.substr(0,2) == "f ") 64 { 65 /* 66 std::istringstream s(line.substr(2)); 67 GLushort a,b,c; 68 s >> a; s >> b; s >> c; 69 a--; b--; c--; 70 71 elements.push_back(a); 72 elements.push_back(b); 73 elements.push_back(c); 74 */ 75 } 76 else if (line[0] == '#') { /* ignoring this line */ } 77 else { /* ignoring this line */ } 78 } 79}

(I also have no idea how to get the texture applied/exported/imported.)

[edit:] After more poking, I think it has to do with the faces, I have an idea.

[edit 2:]
boohm! got it. 8-)

(with random colors on the vertices.)

Mark, is the code in your post the latest one that loads correctly? I can't see how you handle vertex ordering in the faces.

Now my loader takes in uv textures! 8-)

{"name":"608545","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/b\/8\/b895d2e258bd8b16efc906985ddd3da6.png","w":852,"h":682,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/b\/8\/b895d2e258bd8b16efc906985ddd3da6"}608545

It's all weird and half the coordinates are flipped and stuff, but who cares!! :D:D I can hack around that until I sort it out later! Celebration!!! ;D;D

Here's the code, now. It's nasty don't look at it :-X ;)

Cool, I am not familiar with blender obj files.....has it any info about the texture embedded in it?

Nice job anyway Mark.....I still struggle a bit with how you handle vertex indexes but it is really really cool.
