*Copy the the script ogremeshesexporter.py and all subdirectories either into ".blender/scripts" or the user defined scripts directory.
*In the "Scripts Window" run "Scripts → Update Menus".

==Export the Meshes==

*In the "3D View" select the mesh objects you want to export. Important is to rename your texture in tex_ID.png or tga. The id should be in Hexdecimal in order to know which textures are new in the texture folder.

*You will get a detailed log of the export process. All files are exported in the OGRE XML format. Use the OgreXMLConverter to convert the generated XML files to binary .mesh and .skeleton files.

==Modification outside of Blender==

* It is quite important to delete some part of the line "solid/Tex/tex_0x411b.tga" into "tex_0x411b.tga"
