that's strange. can you check with a simple level again? ...maybe directly open the $$m file in a text editor to see if the ndef is already there or if WED somehow changes it to ndef.

Yahoo, I solved it!

It works if I start by assigning an action-string to the Blender-mesh and then assign a material-string. I just didn't know that I couldn't have the material without an action-property also connected to the mesh.

I'm getting an unusual error with a traceback or path or some thing...I don't know if you can make any sense of this.

......
The odd thing is I can compile and run every object individually in the .blend by using your lvl exporter, but as a whole I get these errors.

EDIT: GOT IT! strange, it was a bad UV I guess...I looked at the console again and thought about it....for about 10 min. because I knew I had checked the uv's on my models...I added one model since and I guess it had a bad UV???? deleting and creating a new UV did the trick.

blender_level_exporter.zip

make sure you use the latest version. there was a bug if a model with one uv-set came after a model with two uv-sets. maybe that's what happened in your case? i have uploaded a fix for that a few weeks ago.

Thanks, and for the timely response as well.

that's nice! jcl released the specifications of the wmb format.

directly going to the wmb format would have many advantages. no need for going through the slow map compiler anymore, no need for letting the map compiler do ugly tesselation of the level geometry, export lightmapped level geometry directly from blender, the lite-c editions which don't come with wed and the map compiler can read wmb i think,...

i don't use gamestudio much at the moment but probably i will work on a wmb version of this exporter nevertheless if i find some time. exporter writing is kind of fun.

WHOOT! That would be freaking great!
Do you have any idea how long this would take to complete ventilator?
And thanks for your already existing exporter, as well as for at least already thinking about including lightmaps into the exporter ^^!

i guess a first version would take me 2 days but i don't know yet when those 2 days will be.

a fast and blunt, how to use tutorial (on a cube with a light and an entity?) would be cool too. then blender shall be the new level editör of Gamestudio.

Just tried to create a second skin in blender and got it! - yeah, I didn't find out before, didn't expect that it is that easy - and now I have to say: Go for it, ventilator!
Maybe, it could be of use for me within the next days! :P
Its, because my fish game shall get a background with an ocean 'landscape' yet! Never planned that. But I have to do it.
