Hi
I found a reason why reflection is exporting in a wrong way with max2dtsExporterPlus (it realy does!)
file maxAppMesh.cpp
line 179
should be changed to
otherwise, you'll get your reflection always set to 1.0 - a completely chrome material.

I'm using 3ds max 7. But this isn't a max version problem. It's an obvious logical error. One variable used insted of another.

So I have the same issue. How do I fix and recompile this? Sorry in advance Im an artist not a programmer. I have found the file and made the change, but how do I recompile. I have Max8 and vs.net.

You need to have a Max SDK to recompile exporter.
However, I dont have one and my fellow programmer did it for me.

You need to unzip file and put it to your 3dmax/plugins/folder, near original max2dtsExporter.dle
I dont now why it requires two, but it will not otherwise.
