 * Select your mesh and armature, export as smd. select Static Mesh. You only need to re-export this smd if the mesh or the rig change.
 * Now export as Animation Sequence. Preferably you have one track (and smd file) per animation. name it so you know what it is (modelname_attack1.smd for example).
-* You could possibly use the "Animation Sequence ( ALL )" or "All..." options, but i havent tried so i cant say if it works.

- * If export script fail with a encoding error, open it in a texeditor and remove the whole top comment block (lines starting with #). theres a illegal character in there according to pyton. i haven't bothered to check closer witch one it could be.
