If you are running the BAT gamepack under gmax, you need to follow the export rules for that package.  If you are using 3DS Max, you need the macro set for exporting the model to 2.5 D.  I think it is available on the STEX.  Either of these will convert your model to *.sc4model which is required for the next step.

I'm going to move this over to the BAT thread - you may get better help there.

Where exactly did you get the .3ds file from, and what are you trying to import it into, anyway?

Be more specific please.

You use GMAX or 3DSMAX (which version of???)
