problems with SORT::

by Dr. John Nobody · in Torque Game Engine · 09/26/2002 (8:15 am) · 5 replies

hey guys, I've been trying to use SORT::name in 3D studio max, however, everytime I try and export to a .dts file, I get a really weird error and the whole thing crashes (max does, not my computer)..... is this happening to anyone else? does anyone know how to fix it? thanks for any help you can give :)

Its kind of tough to give a solution to a problem when we don't really know what the problem is :) Could you you please give us the exact error message that is generated and possibly upload your file (zipped) to a location where someone can look at it?

ok, the error is "run time check failure #3 - the variable "bestcount" is being used without being defined. the error seems to suggest that there is a problem with the max2dtsExporter.dle..... I am using max 4... I assume this is the correct plugin, it has worked so far, this has been the only problem I have gotten with it....... if anyone would be kind enough to take a look just leave a message and I will email the file to you right away :)

I think I may have fixed Eric's problem. I exported it on my machine and it worked just fine.

If people are having problems, they can try to use the version of the exporter I am using.

You can get it here:
