what is located in a rar file? do you mean the python25.zip file which comes with blender? it just contains some of the most common python modules but they aren't blender related. blender bundles them so that you don't need a full python installation for running most blender scripts.

maybe your .blender folder is hidden? have you set the explorer to show hidden files? did you do search your complete hard disk?

I have show hidden files on...so I possibly thinking myself in circles...sorry, I still don't have a .blend folder. I do have a plugin folder though so no issues....besides I have wasted enough thread space with my .blend file

you could uninstall blender and download blender as zip and just extract that zip. that's what i always do. i never have installed blender.

or you could ask jetpackmonkey. she had the same problem if i understood this correctly and she was able to choose the location of the .blender directory with the installer or so.

do you use xp or vista? maybe you need to be administrator with vista?

i have no problem with that! that's what forums are for.

i came across this:

yep..that's it, I change the file path on my most used programs to not be in "program files"....,but by setting my own plugins folder it is essentially the same...thanks though at least I know I am not crazy or have some strange virus.

also check out the texture splatting video from the apricot build... texture slatting in blender RT.

or save target/save target as..with RMB

Making any new progress? just curious.

no, i didn't do any further work yet but it has proven to be very useful already for my projects. actually it does all i personally need at the moment. what do you think would be most important to add?

by the way, in case you get problems because of spaces in your map compiler and engine paths you should change those lines (add the ' " '):

The basic action assignment would be nice, and obviously flags etc....but yes it does work well for laying out the level.

what do you mean? you can already assign skills, flags, action and material with blender's custom property system (custom properties can be set in the button panel for blender's game engine). if you look into the customproperties() function of export_gs_map.py you will see what properties are supported currently. i should document this a bit better i guess. :p

I never looked actually, and I did not know there was documentation....silly me..

no, there isn't really any documentation. just this thread where i mentioned what features are supported and i thought if someone doesn't figure out how to use the exporter he would ask here.
