I made an .obj which is like a simple (very old) TV, see the atatchment. I

no need to make extra vertex groups this is done automatically when making an UV texture. There are other ways in Blender like using Material groups to get a picture on one side of a cube but this doesn

the hint of vade was surely right:
What I did in blender was:

if you're having trouble with textures and .obj files, then you might want to take a look at jit-ogre.

most texture/material information you generate in blender will is possible to export to an ogre .material file.

I made some UV map coordinates for your TV model in Maya (my main profession...I'm a Jitter idiot, no savant here). I'm still a newbie with Jitter and Max, but you might be able to do 6 planar projections for your texture too, one projection per side, and a dirrerent texture for the screen face. But I know very little jitter. I still haven't played with Orge yet, but it looks promising for making a collection of "3d sprites", maybe even a crowd scene might be possible in Jitter.

Your model indeed had no texture UVs, but the obj I included with this post should be great for what you need. Just use the UV layout image (included jpeg) as a template for your map. try putting a number grid on, see how that flows on the model using grids are a great way to check topography and mapping in any 3d geometry. UVs are your friend. :)

Just watch out for nonstandard wavefront obj files. a lot of software don't write or use the obj format to it's fullest extent, the only one I know of is the actual SGI Wavefront softwares from back in the day. But luckily, everyone seems to support texture coordinates. Technically, obj is able to support all types of geometry, even NURBS, and since particles are only points, them too. technically speaking.

Watch out for some apps tho, I know older versions of Lightwave only use projection maps, and don't support UVs.

Just look for UV mapping tutorials for the 3D app of your choice, there should be some info on the web. If there's enough demand, maybe I could wip one up this weekend.

One more thing, your model is ok, but openGL doesn't like polygons with more than 4 sides. So if you see missing faces, check how many poly edges and points there are.
