simple? no hehehe.. im tryin to export a gmax model to BGL ( it's a simple lifeboat with a person shaking hands aboard )  but im doing something wrong its kinda frustrating cause the model even have its LOD's and texture, i export to .MDL ( scenery mode) , and a .xml appears i know that its simple as dropping the XML file over the compiler and voil

You should have two files when the export has finished. A mymodel.xml file and a mymodel.mdl file. Post the contents of the xml file so we can see just what you are trying to compile.

Also, using drag and drop is a poor way of doing things as you won't see if there are any errors. Put bglcomp.exe in your C:\Windows or C:\WINNT directory so you can call it from anywhere. Then open a command prompt window in the directory where your xml and mdl files are and compile with the command

bglcomp.exe mymodel.xml
