Currently converting some mkvs to mp4 and i want to convert the xml chapters into txt ones so i can add it to the mp4

assuming you got a finished mkv file with the chapters in it, this should work:
1. load mkv in Hybrid (Main->Input File)
2. set Main->Audio handling to passthrough all
3. set Main->Video handling to passthrough all
4. Chapter->Import form video input
(now all the chapters from the source should be displayed)
5. set the output file (Main->Output File)
6. add to queue (Main->Add to Queue)
7. start the process (Job->start)

never mind ive solved it

the latest version of mkvtoolnix and mkvextractgui-2 (2.2.2.5) has this feature

i was still using the old version of mkvextractgui and that gave me an error

now all i need to do is figure out how to do a batch extract :D

You can use mkvextract directly:
mkvextract.exe chapters "PathToMKVFile" --simple > "PathToChapterOutputFile"
Remove --simple if you need the xml chapter format.
