Exporting a 3DS Max material a model?

[SgtFlex]

So I'm very new to all of this so please bear with me. I converted my model from .smd to .mdl by compiling it with crowbar, but the model is missing textures (It's completely purple). I assume this is because I forgot to export my material out of 3DS Max. I'm not too familiar with 3DS Max. How would I go about exporting it, and exporting it to the correct format? I have all the bitmaps and everything, I just don't know what to do.

In 3dmax on your export dialog there is a section that you can check to EMBED MEDIA.

As an .smd file? I don't see anything about embed media.

You can assign your textures in your QC file..you don't have to embed them.

I didn't know that, thank you. I found out that my UV map wasn't being exported for whatever reason which was causing the issue.
