Alternate 3ds max 10 dts exporter?

Posting this for a friend that can't get on here right now. He says:
Hi, I'm trying to export a flat shaded model using the max2dts 10 exporter, and it's not passing my flat-shaded shape into the game. Instead it's keeping the model smooth shaded.
It's not the game, because I'm able to export flat shaded models using different programs, so I think it's the exporter.
Is there an alternative exporter I can use for max 10 that will export my flat-shaded model?

*Is there an alternative exporter I can use for max 10 that will export my flat-shaded models? I heard max2dts PRO might work, but I've been unable to get it working for max 10.

With the other exporter, you can turn down the autosmooth angle to 0, autosmooth the model(which will be "by face" due to angle @ 0), then export. This will work well for simple objects.

You can export specified normals with this exporter. However, it will still follow the rule of autosmooth for unassigned smoothing so be sure to use a modifier for the normals. www.torquepowered.com/community/resources/view/19057With the other exporter, you can turn down the autosmooth angle to 0, autosmooth the model(which will be "by face" due to angle @ 0), then export.

Until then, or, if that never occurs due to circumstances of some sort...then here is the information you need for the regular exporter:
- If no smoothing groups are specified on a model/object/mesh, then the exporter automatically forces 1 smooth group. VERY lame, we know.
