Download Blender 2.49b with preinstalled Python and DTS Exporter (Download, extract, run and export. Simple as that.)

Once i have it exported, how do i put it into blockland, just put it in a .zip right? so someone else can script it?

[Demian]

The scripter needs the DTS file and any materials on the model in 16x16 PNG files.

[KadeBL_ID12958]

hmm. how do i retrieve those?

[Demian]

You make them yourself. Read my guide. I'm pretty sure I covered it.

Ok I cannot find where to add a new material. I do not see anything about materials on my right side of the screen in the toolbar (the one you open with N)
Nvm, I fixed it.

Whenever i load my blender model on blender 2.49, the materials i added are gone and it is now a wireframe. Help!

In order to open .blend files saved in Blender 2.63 or newer with older Blender versions you need to save the file again with Legacy Mesh Format. Please note that this gets rid of all ngons in the save. To save with Legacy Mesh Format, go to File > Save As... or press Ctrl + Alt + S and check the Legacy Mesh Format checkbox.

Press ctrl+alt+q, or go to View>Toggle Quad View on the 3D view window.
