How to open a model from the newest blender, into blender 2.49

Recently I have been trying to get a model into blender 2.49 from the newest version, but when opening it, the model turns into a pink wire frame version of the old model. Keep in mind that I want to keep the bones and materials from the original model.

When saving as a blend file, press Ctrl - Alt - S and then tick the 'legacy save' tick box. This has always worked for me when switching versions. Not sure how it will handle bones.

This actually worked, thanks.
