I tried that, but that's the earlier version of blender ):

It should be the same, for the latest versions of blender you just have to export the model to collada .dae format. In blender, the textures have to be set as .jpg ones so that the amnesia editor can look for the .mat file at the same name.

No, it includes information for both 2.49 and 2.5.

ahh, I got lost when it said
With the object selected go to File → Export - Collada 1.4 and set the following options to On(all others off) (for Blender 2.49):
  • Triangles
  • Only Export Selection
  • Disable Physics
  • Only Current Scene
  • Use Relative Paths
    I couldn't find that on Blender of where it tells you to go :/

In 2.5 it's located at the same spot, you just don't have to fill anything out.
