hey does anyone have a copy to ventilators export_gs_mdl7.py?
this link is dead for me
http://user.schule.at/go/export_gs_mdl7.pyI found the written script and tried to paste into a new python but I did something wrong (i dont know python at all.... yet) here let me paste that see if maybe someone can tell me what I did wrong. Ill just paste the header since more than likely the problem is there somewhere. didnt know what to delete or add so just left it all seemed to mostly be commented out.

description:
this script exports all selected meshes to 3dgamestudio's mdl7 format
(3dgamestudio version 6.4 and newer!).
usage:
1. open a script window besides a 3d window (a 3d viewport has to stay
visible during export otherwise animations won't get exported!) and start
the script: scripts -> export -> 3dgamestudio mdl7 (.mdl)...
2. select the mesh objects to be exported.
3. set the scale (in blender units usually get used more like meters and in
3dgamestudio more like inches).
4. select [external textures] or [internal textures] depending on if the
textures should be stored internally or externally (for now only textures
assigned to faces per uv/image editor will be exported, internally stored
textures will only get mipmaps if their width and height are powers of
two).
5. select [world space] or [object space] coordinate export (object space
probably doesn't make much sense if exporting multiple meshes).
6. press [export animation] if animation should get exported.
- animation sequences get defined by an animation sequence name and
a list of frame numbers separated by spaces. with [v] enabled the
sequence will get exported as vertex animation. with [b] enabled
the sequence will get exported as bone animation. with the middle
mouse button the gui can be dragged up and down if the list gets too
long.
notes for exporting bone animations:
- the mdl7 format currently doesn't support weighted skinning
so every vertex should only have 1 bone influence. if there
is more than one influence the exporter will take the
strongest one or a random one if all influences have the
same weight.
- bones whose name begin with "ik" (not case sensitive) won't
get exported.
- only the armature of the active mesh object (=last selected
will get exported.
- the armature must have the same origin and transformation as
the mesh object it is parented to!
- press [add] or [remove] to add or remove animation sequences
7. press [export].
8. set the path and filename and press [export mdl7] to start the export.
9. wait until the "export done!" pop-up appears.
10. with the [save options] and [load options] buttons the export settings
for the current blend file can be saved and loaded.
other notes:
- names shouldn't be longer than 20 characters for bones, 16 characters for
texture file names (without extension), 16 characters for mesh objects.
- exporting internal textures can be slow because of mipmap generation.
- the exporter can also output a xml version of the mdl7 format if the line
model.save(filename[:-4] + ".xml") gets uncommented. this functionality
was originally added for debugging purposes but maybe the xml format can
be helful for someone.
