Black screen of death checklist

Hi all.
I have read every post I can find on the black screen of death in Xcode's simulator and can't find my problem.
Creating .sio2 files form the tutorials does not work either.
Everything;s tris, everything is selected and exporting into their own folder (camera, lamps etc.) but no luck.
I'm running the following:

Blender 2.49b
The latest SIO2_SDK
Xcode 3.2 (though it does say 64 bit??)
tried with both Simulator 3.1 and 3.0
Followed the tutorial #2 to the letter but still without luck.

Sorry for bringing up the whole black screen thing again but I can't get started and am finding it very frustrating.

Thanks in advance,

Glenn

Make sure you press a twice and then click center

that stuck me a couple of times when I was working with tutorial 2

Yes, I have done both of those things (assuming "center" is just selecting the mesh and clicking the "center" button). None of it works, not just tutorial 2 though. Still digging but feel somewhat mapless.

I checked my tutorial02 and unless your object is named "Suzanne" you have to change the line of code that refers to your object. Looks like this: SIO2object *_SIO2object = ( SIO2object * )sio2ResourceGetObject( sio2->_SIO2resource,
"object/Suzanne" );

yeah, it's called Suzanne. If I run the template.xcodeproj from tutorial02 it runs fine, but if i export tutorial02's blend file (again, selecting all and centering etc) and put the .sio2 file into Xcode (having loaded the template.xcodeproj file from the template folder in sio2), then I get nothing.

The template.mm file in the template folder does NOTHING (it does not even load an . sio2 resource file). It has NO code to render anything hence why you would get a black screen!

You either have to copy the rendering code from Tutorial02 into your (new) template or run Tutorial02 against your .sio2 generated archive, which you can re-link in turotial02 by replacing it with the .sio2 file you generated (dragging and dropping your new .sio2 under the Resources folder of XCode for the Tutorial02 project.

Rock on.
Got a monkey head in the scene. Thank you for that. Now to have some fun!
