Sadly, this is right.

It's better to "hack" the python script than to hack every .x file after every export. Open "xFileExporter242.py" with the editor of your choice, go to line 1045. Replace the four lines 1045 to 1048 with the following code: self.file.write(" 1.0; 1.0; 1.0; 1.0;;\n") sel...

Uh, I did not test the script with armatures.

I have no time to review my script in the next days, so try the one from rakar, perhaps it works: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=73602

It's at the end of the file: inline bool CXFileReader::readRGBA(video::SColorf& color) { color.a = readFloat(); color.r = readFloat(); color...

I took the modified .x file exporter script version from our user "necro_", played a little bit with it. First I got an error message (occured with new blender versions), solved. Another thing was the specular color issue (model shined very bright), I solved it, too. You'll get my modified...

That would be great for the engines and the community!
