Finally got my hands on a a 3ds max 9, for a fair price. So I restarted my attempt of creating the 3ds max 9 exporter... But I have 2 small problems, so I did point MAX_DIR to my 3ds max 9 folder, but it still doesn't recognize the maxsdk I'm afraid. A fool as I am, I thought copying the .h files it needed to the source folder of the source folder of the existing exporter, might help. I think it somehow did help for 1 file (max.h).
BUT, strbasic doesn't get found, with out without copying it to that folder, and MAX_DIR is set to my 3ds max 9 folder...
Secondly, there is to MODEL_HEADER.h file anymore, any suggestions on what I should do now?
And yes, I know I'm horrible at programming, but there's only 1 way to learn eh.
