Location of 3d model files

[matty47]

Just getting back into GLBasic after a long hiatus. I wrote some 3d testing code a long time ago (looks like 2007). When I recompile these programs with V15.238 it seems that the .dd models are not being found. I tried adding GetCurrentPath$ to the file name and made sure that the files were in the executable directory but no luck. I also tried loading from a media directory but still no luck.
This is the code. I recently added the GetCurrentDir$ when the original would not work.

Any ideas? It would have been great if the X_LoadObj returned something that indicated success or not. The help file does not indicate any return value.
Thanks for any pointers.

I'm not a big 3d expert but probably the object is behind the camera
try
cam_z=-1.5
