I wonder how it worked all this time. maybe re-export the models to see if there is any difference.

Well I was all excited when I discovered this forum and that there was a newer version of the exporter, but sadly it didn't fix my problem.
I have a door, its just a thin cube really. Whenever I export it, the normals are flipped. Now I'm an admitted total Blender n00b still, so hopefully it's just something really stupid on my part, but I cannot get these normals to export properly.
Really simple blend file that reproduces my issue is attached.
ps. It did fix a UV mapping problem I had, so awesome!

Yes, I tried that version. I've tried the one that was attached to the original post here. I've tried two other .md3 exporters I've found around on the net. They all do the same thing, so I'm sure I screwed something up, but when I show the normals in Blender they look all happy.
I ended up just deleting the door and remaking it from scratch and the problem went away, but I am just baffled as what went wrong.

there was probably a lone vertex or edge
md3 exporters tend to not like those

this one seems to export normals right (r_shownormals looks fine) however all faces are flipped, for you file.
AFAICT this version works fine with modifiers. Use this for testing only (or backup your .blend file before export...).

That version gave me the same results. I don't understand how if the normals and vnormals look correct, how a face can be 'flipped' Isn't that the point of the normals to show which way the face is facing??

I'll be damned! I figured it out! Somehow in my Blender noobishness, I accidentally got the X scaled by -1. So the object appeared to be fine, but was borked. That was a day of my life I'll never get back... /sigh
But many thanks for the newer version, it did fix my UV maps!

Ahh.. I duplicated the first door, and then picked "Mirror" on the new one. This changed the X scale from 1 to -1. I guess the exporter doesn't take this into account?

copy into:
[blender directory]\.blender\scripts
example:
C:\Documents and Settings\nex\Desktop\blender-2.48-windows\.blender\scripts
also read the wiki

this exporter was not working with blender 2.49.2 because of incorrect python code. (the Logger class) Anyway eventually I got it working so here is my question: Is it possible to have different shaders on different faces in the same md3 model? The exporter lists them during process: info :Shader path name: models/mapobjects/cosmoflash/
info :Model name: teleporter4_portal
info :Processing surface: Portal
info :Materials: [[Material "tele4_portal"], [Material "tele4_portal2"], [Material "tele4_portal"]]
info :MD3 Surface
info :Ident: IDP3
info :Name: Portal
info :Flags: 0
info :Number of Frames: 1
info :Number of Shaders: 1
info :Number of Verts: 88
info :Number of Triangles: 118
info :Offset to Triangles: 0
info :Offset to Shaders: 0
info :Offset to UV: 0
info :Offset to Verts: 0
info :Offset to end: 0 Ingame only the first shader/Material appears. Any hints? Vertexgroups do not help either. - EDIT - alright I got it working. *phew* it's duplicating your model as many times as you need for different shaders and delete the unwanted/duplicate faces then. That is not straight forward and appears as a dirty hack but it works. We can have good teleporter models now.  |

The MD3 format supports multiple meshes, where each mesh has it's own skin (where "skin" means a fixed set of shaders).
But I don't know how the exporter handles this (or what the correct Blender terminology for this is).

Yep, it's duplicating in blender before you export the model to md3.

There is a video tutorial! if not why not make one that explains how to export with Blender? maybe doing even spare processing model ... after you can put it in youtube or similar (maybe even for the maps)
