teorically you can install the ogre command line tools, I installed it in C:\ drive and it worked for me.
I'm suposing you are exporting models in blender as a .xml file and you want to convert it to .mesh file.

simply copy the .xml file in the place where you installed the command line tools, and drag and drop the .xml file in to the OgreXMLConverter.exe program, and the .mesh file will be created.

there is another different way, i'm not sure how but when exporting at blender you need to configure the ogrecommandlinetools path.

It's already been in the blend form, and to export them as a mesh what will I do? No, I don't know how to use it, but I know about the files and exporting it to a file but it doesnt work.

I know how to do this but with blender 2.49b only. I t seems it doesn't work for newer versions of blender.

1 download the mesh exporter: BlenderExport.zip (http://www.xullum.net/lefthand/downloads/temp/BlenderExport.zip) and unzip the file.

2 copy ogremeshesexporter.py, ogrehelp, and ogrepkg and paste where blender is installed at ...\blender\.blender\scripts, just like the next image:

3 download and install python 2.6:
for x86 computers: python-2.6.msi (http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6/python-2.6.msi)
for x86-64 computers: python-2.6.amd64.msi (http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6/python-2.6.amd64.msi)

4 now open blender and export your model.
click file->export->ogre meshes (if all was correctly installed this menu will exist)

Select the path where the mesh will be exported, then click preferences button.

Select manual path for the xmlconverter, and put the path of the converter. and click OK.

click export and you have now a mesh file.


blender 2.49b link is here if you don't have it: blender-2.49b-windows.exe (http://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.49b/blender-2.49b-windows.exe)

Note: you must use Ogre3D version 1.6 command line tools, NOT 1.7. download it at: OgreCommandLineTools_1.6.3.msi (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ogre/files/ogre-tools/1.6.3/OgreCommandLineTools_1.6.3.msi/download)

Title: Re: Another Quick Question
Post by: Thierry on November 29, 2011, 10:56:31 pm
try with this link:
python 2.6 (http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6/)
search something like Windows MSI Installer (2.6), (NOT the source code)

privlilegies... what?,  so strange computer you have. I use both firefox and internet explorer and both downloads are direct link, so i don't know what's is happening with your computer.
try with another internet browser. or do you want i upload the file in mediafire?

about what computer do you have (x86 or x86-64), there is a way to know it, let me search a easy way to know.
try with the first link at the moment (Windows x86 MSI Installer (2.6))

Title: Re: Another Quick Question

I really not sure of this because a had never a problem like this. I'm using a computer with a single account.
If your computer has multiple accounts (for example, a shared computer), maybe your account doesn't have administrator privilegies.
If this is the case, commonly are parents who has the administrator account.
If not, i don't have idea.
