3ds export from Blender shows invalid

[fireside]

Blender may have changed their exporter or something, but I can't get a 3ds file to load.  It's just a plane with a transparent .png texture.  It says
ERROR: Not a valid 3DS file!

I had some problem with another model but managed to get it to load although the scaling was completely different from the past.  This one I can't load at all.
It re-imports into Blender.

Any file for me to try myself?

There's a file here

3Ds max 2011 also can not import this file

jPCT can load this without any problems:

Code Select Expand


Loading file grass.3ds
File grass.3ds loaded...300 bytes
Processing new material Material.002!
Texture named grass.png added to TextureManager!
Processing object from 3DS-file: Plane_Materi
Object 'Plane_Materi_jPCT-2' created using 2 polygons and 4 vertices.


Double check that your path and filenames are correct.

It was a naming error.  Sorry for the trouble.
