.... there are numerous threads on this so check them out. Heres my guess: you are using the factory shipped blender exporter wich is crap. If your using kiras exporter one key thing that needs to be done: The armature deform needs to be a modifier, AND the modifier needs to have the 'make real' button applied to the modifier. So if you dont have kiras exporter heres a link:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=166987&b=3

if you do make sure that your armature is a modifier and that your armature is applied as a modifier and that the make real button is checked. If you need more hlp post back and ill give you a hand.

I can give you a hand if you let me know whats not working about it.
btw do you have python 2.6 installed and working on your computer and does blender know were it is?? the beauty of blender 2.5x is the built in interpreter which eliminates the need to have python installed on your computer (though i still do.) What get back with me on these details.. if you have python 2.6 and blender knows its there (you can tell by reading the console readout when it starts...it should say something like blender 2.6 found.) then youll need to add the folder the new script is in to you prefernces under scripts.. I still have blender 2.49 on my computer so if you need help ill give you a snappy of what you need to do..
Good luck!

be prepared to read... alot... lol. Im not a strong programmer by any means. In fact im learning myself at the moment, and im really only working on art for the time being on my current project. If you have the money i would invest in programming and game design books to help you out. Im currently reading 5 of them right now in an attempt to bring me up to par. If you have any more questions about blender i would be more than willing, and usually able, to help out.

Anyway good luck with your project.

Well kira and I are working on a project together called Age of Reliks

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=177876&b=3

Im actually doing the modeling for the time being, and so far he's been doing most of the programming. Hes more of a programming wiz then i am... Right now were using blender for models (with a custom 3d format in dev for the game), visual c++ for source, with the directx 9 sdk. Basically so far all ive writen is code to read xinput devices (easy) and its not even part of the source yet... here are some of the books im reading on the subjects:

Programming Game AI by Example
Game Code Complete
And the C++ Language <--- kira recommended this to me... its written by the creator of c++

I have some other books as well but these seem to be my most valueble reading so far.

I paid about $70 for The C++ Programming Language. But my copy was a new hardcover book. Im not sure what you would pay were your at (Im in the United States) the others were 30-50 new each. Expensive but books are a good investment. The internet has informtion too but you have to sort through it and its not always as accurate as a professional publication.

scratch that... lol. You should only need to do that if you parented the mesh to the armature instead of assign a modifier(guess its been a while since ive used 2.49) go to the mesh modifiers and look for a modifier:
