Another Quick Question

[Lavablaze]

Hai Again >.<

I have a really quick question, for ogre command tools, where do I put this in it's file? I use blender

[Lavablaze]

bump (Sorry ^^;)
EDIT:
Should this be even posted here since it's fh help thread?

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.

Thank you, Ill try it out ^^

[Lavablaze]

How do you get it to the xml file? I am very confused

[Thierry]

you want to export models right? if not, it's because i'm confused. Explainme with detail your question.
did you have installed the exporter plug-in?
you know how to use it?

(wait me to tomorrow and i will investigate about the plug-in)

[Lavablaze]

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 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
for x86-64 computers: 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

Note: you must use Ogre3D version 1.6 command line tools, NOT 1.7. download it at: OgreCommandLineTools_1.6.3.msi

My computer is not letting me download python (tried both links)

[Thierry]

try with this link:
python 2.6
search something like Windows MSI Installer (2.6), (NOT the source code)
