But anyway export it as a FBX because those kinds of formats armatures are compatible with, never export to a DAE, also the plugin is from Blender source tools it's a website where i got the SMD plugin if you don't know. If not then i can give you a link to a plugin you need. I'm not too sure about the stretch thing. I never ran into that, i may need to see a GIF of it so i can understand what you're coming from.

I wouldn't worry, it's not really important in the grand scheme of things. World Blender's efforts are still highly appreciated even with the few issues I've encountered.

CrossMod doesn't support exporting to FBX, but does support exporting to SMD. However, that format doesn't give me the meshes as individual pieces, but I may rip the armature out and put them in my models. I know what needs to happen next: I need to find any vertices that get orphaned in the process of replacing the armatures, and then assign them to the correct vertex groups. The Blender manual tells me how to find ungrouped vertexes: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.79/modeling/meshes/properties/vertex_groups/assigning_vertex_group.html?highlight=vertex%20groups#finding-ungrouped-vertices
I'm still working on the characters that don't have armature problems as karts. Once I exhaust all of them, I will come back to the characters that do have those problems.

Whoops. my bad, i thought you were having problems with model conversion there.

I know I need to reassign the correct vertex groups to them, but that will take away time from me to test them out as karts, which don't use any expressions but their normal ones. So I'll fix up their hands and wrists, but their mouths and lips are likely to be saved for later, as I can always come back to them.
Any characters who previously had armature problems but which I'm already making karts out of will need to be redone as a result of me going back to fix their mouths and lips.

Here is a video I found on model ressources, the first part is maybe not interrested for you but the others may help a lot. Sorry, it's all I can do without doing mistakes. I'll see if I can do more, but right now, for me it would be like hitting my head to pass the wall (only me, maybe not you guys). I hope I've been understandable.

I hope you'll see it and it will help you. Or you can continue what you do, repair and re-paint the weights of all the bones.

• SuperTuxKart's engine is unable to utilize Blender or Cycles materials, leaving me with UV map texturing, vertex coloring, and whatever options I'm given to configure the shaders used to render textures on a per-image basis.
  From the linked page above: "Use UV texturing in Blender for your objects for them to appear in-game, but don't waste time with Blender materials or cycles materials. They don't get exported into the game—instead, use SuperTuxKart's own materials system."
  
• Almost the whole setup shown in that video requires Windows, and I'm not always fond of sticking with proprietary software (except if using them is the only way I can get something that has to be done), whereas I use Ubuntu GNU/Linux much more often on my desktop computers, so I try to stick with the methods that don't force me to redo large portions of my work, which is that I can re-assign vertex groups and create any missing ones.
