Have just tryed using the native 3ds export from a blender2.5beta in the converter!,i get a message the file has no nodes.
Using the 3ds generated by Rayvels script in 2.49b the 3ds2kex.exe works fine.

"Blender 2.4 tutorials"
and came up with a whole bunch of links

I was able to locate the 3ds exporter python script that comes packaged with 2.56. It appears that the 3ds2kex script was based on this exporter in the 2.49 version.
The python script for exporting 3ds files is about 940 lines of code, and the modified script for 3ds2kex is just over 1200. There are about 220 lines that have been added. I'm gonna see how well I can match up the two line-by-line in order to see the modifications/additions made by Rayvel.
We'll see how it goes...
thats because it sounds like your trying to run the converter as a stand alone programdoug6952 said:when I run the 3ds2kex converter it opens a separate cmd screen for about 1/4 second then disappears and I'm stuck scratching my head trying to figure out whats wrong.

when it's actually a plug in for 3dsmax

Maj. Numbskully said:If its that big of a problem I don't understand why you just don't take one week with the 2.4 tutorials as you did with the 2.5 ones?
so what if 2.5 has a better U.I........if you don't have the correct script it's useless any how
on the topic of scripts ........... I can't believe that blender would release a version that was "unusable" due do there not bring a script yet
I believe that your Problem is that you have poor Internet searching skills or something
you said you could not find 2.4 tutorials and the on the very first try using a yahoo search
I found 11 + pages of 2.4 tutorials
and told you that in your other thread yesterday or the day before and what keywords I used to find them
I'm sure the script is out there ...I would think whomever wrote and posted the 2.5 tuts must have one
Maj. Numbskully said:Really ?.............again I have 20+ pages of 2.5 scripts
is this what you're looking for?................
