An amazing 3D game development engine written in Java.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; The value of attribute "material" associated with an element type "null" must not contain the '<' character.
When exporting a Google SketchUp model into OgreXML format using the SketchUp to Ogre Exporter, the plugin will output XML with material names using < and > characters.In my case, a simple fix was to wrap these special characters in the Ruby source code, in ogre_export_1_2_0b9.rb (about line 426):
ogre_mat_name_fixed = ogre_mat.name.sub("<", "_lt").sub(">", "_gt")
# out.print " <submesh material = "#{ogre_mat.name}" usesharedvertices="false" "
out.print " <submesh material = "#{ogre_mat_name_fixed}" usesharedvertices="false" "
And likewise around line 116:
ogre_mat_name_fixed = @name.sub("<", "_lt").sub(">", "_gt")
# s.print "material #{@name}n"
s.print "material #{ogre_mat_name_fixed}n"
