Title: 3ds export from Blender shows invalid

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.

jPCT can load this without any problems:

Code Select


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.
