Latino210:
Thanks again, Dark! I've downloaded and installed Blender 2.62, downloaded the io_export_md2.py.7z file, unpacked it into the scripts dir, I still cannot export anything. May I know what procedure are you using? BTW, I've tried again, if I make a group with all the brushes and export it to .obj via Radiant, then Blender can open it! Now I just need to understand how to transfer from blender to md2 and I will be set.

DarkRain:
When I said I fixed the attached script, I meant I fixed it to work on 2.63, since that's what I use (and thus the following steps are in 2.63), I installed the exporter using the blender installer addon option (File->User Preferences->Addons Tab->Install Addon), but you should be able to drop it in your scripts/addons dir, either way be sure to mark the checkbox to enable it* in the Addons tab of the User preferences window, then you just select the mesh you want to export (only one) and go to File->Export->Quake 2 (.md2).

*Note: You'll need to enable it each time you open Blender, unless you 'Save User Settings' in the file menu.

Thanks, Rain! Sorry, but I am way more experienced with the Autodesk interface, so I just downloaded a free md2 extractor for 3dsmax and I am experimenting with it. I have managed to make some little models, exported into .obj and used them as "models" in Radiant. It's working fine, now I just need to understand how to properly skin the model. Do you know any good tutorial? I've found this, where the procedure is called "unwrapping".

By the way, I've exported the .md2 of the static model but the Radiant just crashes whenever I try to open the "create model" menu. Am I missing something?

Latino210:
What the hell? The .obj works fine with Radiant, but as soon as I load the map with UFO the program goes into fatal error. Can somebody tell me what am I doing wrong? .Obj included.

Edit: disregard that, I am an idiot. I was using a script for 3dmax 8 on 3dmax 2012. Now I can save an .md2 and Radiant is able to read it. Too bad that Radiant cannot skin the .md2, even if there is a nice 1024X1024 jpg in the same folder with the same name. See the included pic. By the way, putting this .md2 into a map makes UFO crash when I try to load it.

DarkRain:
Don't know, maybe its because the model isn't uv mapped and skinned? But of course the game shouldn't segfault like that...
