Fantastic!  I'll have to update the Blender download then.

I've been using this for a couple of months. I'm sure Yggrasil post a link to it in the original thread.

Yes,that's right, its simply some kind of "official" release. Otherwise it will get lost some day.
And I think not everybody is using this yet ....

[gameboy]

Yeah, I downloaded it too, I only copied the xml2g.exe and the g3d.dtd file in the direcrtory, I guess that I read the post on linux.

thx titi

I think we have a bug in this script, anyone else can establish the problems?
Or is John.d.h simply the only one who creates models using windows ?

OK, looks like we have a problem.

I found this: 
os.path.normcase('/')  and I hope it works.

can anyone test it (in windows) please:

Edit your g3d_xml_exporter_v1.0.py ( the blender export script for glest )

and replace
textureName = textureName.split('/')[-1]  #get only the filename

with
textureName = textureName.split(os.path.normcase('/'))[-1]  #get only the filename

It works in linux, so what about windows?

[wciow]

replace
textureName = textureName.split('/')[-1]  #get only the filename

with
textureName = textureName.split(os.path.normcase('/'))[-1]  #get only the filename

I'll have to try this. The original intention by whoever made the script was that the models texture should be in the same directory as the .blend file and that the relative paths button should be turned on. The script then reads the string in the texture/image value and strips out double slashes // before the file name.

EDIT: This works! Thanks Titi! Texture files no longer have to be in the same folder as the .blend and can be linked from anywhere on the computer. This should make things alot simpler new windows user.

ok, I uploaded a new version(1.1) with this fix.

Oh damn!!! 

The link on my website was wrong. You still downloaded the old g3d_xml_exporter_v1.0.zip with the bug...

Here is the correct link!( and its corrected on the website too)

By the way, notice this post for a problem found in the importer:

Hmm, I didn't have that problem with the export script. I think he might have had an older version of python.

Also I didn't realise the link was broken since I did the fix myself in IDLE
