Okay I've been making a very basic weapon model in XSI to be used as a weapon but when I export to a msh I get a message like this:

Export aborted:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Red'
Material Material is not of type Phong or Lambert

I just started with XSI so I don't know what that means.
Any ideas?

Explain every step you took in creating the model, starting from the very beginning to right at this very moment.

Well first of all I created a cone (I didn't edit the cones geometry) and followed this tutorial to texture it:

Secondly I made a null called DummyRoot a well as a null named hp_fire.
Then I made the cone and hp_fire null a child of DummyRoot.
Then I exported.

Which version of XSI are you using?
Which exporter are you using?

I'm using XSI 6 and the XSI ZEtools exporter.

XSI 6 or XSI Mod Tool 6? Mod Tool versions are already crippled due to being free and Mod Tool 6 is riddled with bugs. You should at the very least be using Softimage Mod Tool 7.5. Links to older versions are left for historic reasons and are obsolete, maybe we need to remove old software links to avoid confusion.

I'm using Mod Tool 6.
So what your saying is that the problem is that Mod Tool 6 is full of bugs?
I'll try 7.5 if thats the case and see if it works.

Eeeyup.

Just tried Mod Tool 7.5. The original error stopped popping up but a message appears at the bottom saying "Traceback" and a lot of other things which are partly cut off.
Could some one show step by step how to export because I think I'm doing something wrong.

First make sure you have everything needed to make the plugin work(Python etc).
Then get a feel for the process by exporting something simple like a textured cube.
Post any errors you encounter. Errors are logged in the script editor(alt+4) just copy and paste.
Read the ZETools thread for all the info you need regarding the use of this plugin.

Outlining the exact steps you took would help us to help you and possibly iron out any workflow issues.

I feel like a total noob. I didn't have C++ . I should not have briefly
looked over the requirements. Thank you so much for pointing that out. Next
time I should pay more attention to those things
