Once you have your map in Blender, export to .obj (make sure you have the bits you want selected.)

Then, get ObjToMap:

"
http://savage747.sa.funpic.de/ObjToMap.jar

You can invoke it with

java -jar ObjToMap.jar input.obj output.map

You can specify a custom scaling factor:

java -jar ObjToMap.jar input.obj output.map 256"

And boom. A lot better than the packed export script in Blender, it messes up the geometry and is very inaccurate.

Have fun, easy mapping.

Yeah. Now I'm just using the .ase exporter.

for people who haven't used the ase exporter yet, it is available here.

the script only works if you have assigned a material and texture to the mesh. (weird blender thing). once you have exported the ase file you need to open it up with a text editor and edit the bitmap line (line 34ish) to refer to openarena's file structure. something like this.
*BITMAP "textures/base_floor/floor3_3dark.jpg"
