Maybe I'm just retarded? Or just a retarded beginner, but why the hell doesn't this work then?

The freakin model is there, so why is it having problems loading it? Thanks again for the help guys.

oh, i'm sorry my grammar isn't very good

what i'm trying to do is render an md2 model in a java applet on my website. now after reading all of your excellent tutorials and examples, i have managed to do the following:
load an md2 model via java application
load a 3d box via java applet (your example)

what i want is to be able to get my program i found that loads a md2 model in a java application turned into loading a md2 model via java applet.

basically, i want to know how to transform the code below so it will work as a java applet instead of an application. because when i try to tinker it, it gives me a ton of different errors i don't understand how to fix. :-(

hi, i'm not an entirely new java coder, but i'm fairly new to using jpct.

i pretty much understand how to use the Object3D, and i'm pretty good at just editing code however i can't get around to loading an object via java applet.

help is very appreciated, thank you so much.

btw i already know how to load lwjgl applets on my web and stuff like that, i just need a basic java code to load a md2 model because i'm stumped. i'm not very good yet, but i learn off tutorials and help! haha  thanks again in advance.
