How to: work with Blender

[Hamilton]

If you are using blender 2.59, it opens differently and has a vastly different setup than the version used for this tutorial. I highly recommend taking a peek at this tutorial.

Well, I got everything all together and working, and got a mesh exported....but it crashes FH when I try to load it, with an ogre exception.

[Hamilton]

What format is the mesh currently in? mesh.xml or .mesh? mesh.xml is not the compatible format for the game and must be converted to .mesh using the converter.

[Jitters]

It's a .mesh.

I hav a problem with the converter, up grader and i've forgot what the other ones called but its in the OgreCommandLines folder im pretty sure. Well when i found out about material codes can be opened up in Notepad i thought other files could be too. I kinda opened a .DLL file in Notepad and cant change it back so the converter wont start up. I've been looking through Google for something to help but nothing useful so far.
Im wondering if you would know anything to fix this?

Yes you need to download them both, but if as said on the first page if you have an older version of Blender a different python is needed.

Ok thanks....I might have to do that later when I get my own laptop. This one is small with GB and...KB and what not

Ok ignore my post above these ive gotten the .DLL files back to normal. When i try to get the Ogre things working i keep getting the "OgreMain is missing" error when its right there at the top of the folder.

Are you talking about the convert for blender or the cammand line tools?
If its not working just re-download the one that isn't working.
