I am using 2.49, and I got a warning when opening your file - however, from what I can tell, you have 2 material indexes for you model, one is black, and one is purple. All of the faces were assigned to the black material index. See attached.
thx for fast reply.
I think i found the problemo, i was using Blender 2.5 and there the render was all black, but in 2.49b it worked so i’ll stick to 2.49b xD
