KE, I'm concerned about the fact that you're trying to import a whole settlement into Milkshape, and failing to do that given the constraints, find yourself necessary to go to another 3d platform. Remember my suggestion, that milkshape be only used as a kind of 3d reference tool, to know where to place buildings. If I gave you a set of coordinates and a bunch of building models, would you be able to produce a .model file from that? That's all that's really necessary here.

Also why do you trouble yourself with converting all of the scripts to 3dmax form?? If for some reason we NEED 3dmax to do settlement editing, then let it be used only for settlement editing. I would be loathe to think that you wanted to do so much for the community and then got discouraged and left it half way... The modeling and animation scripts work (almost) perfectly (see my post in anims thread), so just merely having a way to do buildings, in 3dmax or otherwise, is the last piece of the puzzle. Because with Vercingetorix script we can already import RTW buildings into 3dmax, and thus being able to insert them into Medieval 2 would be just a dream.
