Default Export not working
I was thrilled to have Blender available for meshing.

While I cannot use Blender (I'm not at all skilled with it), I can use other programs and import from there.

What I tried to was import a mapped .OBJ from somewhere else, delete the the import .S3asc file and re-save the new file. When I export, I get an "Error: Export Successful" window that pops up, but when I re-import the file I saved, the original remains. I'm wondering if my inexperience is preventing me from using this properly, or if the Blender 2.8 isn't working with the plugins. I don't know, but does anyone know how to solve the problem?

I'm assuming that by Blender 2.8 you mean 2.58a. Did you download the Blender plugin version 1.31 from 7/3?

Yes and Yes. Sorry for getting the name wrong.

I don't know what happened. I can import meshes no problem, but the export seems to fail for some reason.

The plugins do work with the latest Blender. Could you the describe the process you used to export, please?

I click on file > then export > .S3asc, and I find a file to replace, since I cannot create a new one. The message reads, after the failed export Error: Export Successful, but nothing gets replaced.

The most I do in Blender is import a file from someplace else, since I can't make heads or tails of blender, but that shouldn't be a problem since I've also tried exporting with blender meshes as well.

When you import the mesh, you have to swap it with one of the original groups. Check the instructions in the Blender Plugin thread.

Thank you very very much for helping with a really simple, and pointless, problem. I'm on my way now, thanks. ^_^

Since I didn't want to make a new thread, and since you've all been helpful, I though I'd ask here.

I can't seem to keep my imported item's UV maps the same - which I edited in UV Mapper. The minute I switch the two meshes and export the mesh, then re-import it back into blender, the UV mapping (Which was perfect before) goes insane. Is there a way to fix this?

Edit: Actually, it's all UV mapping. I just checked.

It looks like this:

Before you export, (actually, I would do it before I do the swap) you have to add a Edge Split Modifier to the mesh and apply it. If a vertex is split on your map, it has to be split on you mesh.
