3dS Max ASE? Does it work or how to put it into the map-editor?

[Silencium]

Hi, cause I don´t have 3DS Max, I made a little map with 3D Gamestudio and saved it as 3DS Max ASE file

Does the editor allow those files? It´s only one file , named "landscape1.ase". I also renamed it to "landscape1.i3d", but when I open the editor, click shift+m (create model) and select it from the model directory, the editor doesn´t create it on the map.
What can I do? Is there a tool where I can change ase-files into map-editor friendly files?

Sadly there are only im- and exporters for 3dsmax V 3.0 & 3.1 . Other programs didin´t work for hdd.

You can obtain 3d max 3.1 through the web. Or ebay.

We might be able to convert it for you, a few of us have 3d max.

mhh... I see. Well, I think that there´s nothing I can do but looking for 3DS Max 3.0
Anyway, thx for the answers
EDIT: What about "3D Studio Max 9" ? Does this Version work?

[Lars]

The plugins works ONLY with 3.0 & 3.1

I see, well... and what if someone of you (MAYBE) convert this file(s) for me?
EDIT: I import those files and export it to a "3ds"-file. But the editor don´t accept 3ds files, right?

[Lars]

If you can convert the files to 3ds we could convert them for you. But not the fileformat ase cause there might be no importer for max.
HDD doesn´t accept 3ds files. The old version HD1 has worked with 3ds files. But for that is no editor out

I found out something very interesting: As said before, I convert my model from "ase" to "3ds". I put it into the missions/model direction (where all the models are stored). I loaded a map (the first mission) and then klicked on "Create...model". I klicked on my file and it was put into the level BUT only in grey with no textures
Maybe I missed a step by converting it, but where should I save texture files belonging to the model?
