Games have always been a huge part of my life. I've always enjoy military games such as SEAL Team and Delta Force. Large open areas, an objective and your choice to deal with it. Or the choices in Deus Ex, that is what games should be about.

    We are actively working on resolving the max4 exporter build issues and we hope to have them solved soon. In the mean time you can download a prebuilt max4 exporter that is included in the max documentation file pack.

    This is a post I found in the Discreet forum that explaings the issue.

    You have the correct sdk - there is a bug in the header files that ships with msvc. This is resolved by using the Platform sdk. The problem is the following:-

    max 4 sdk development requires installation of the MS Platform SDK. You can get it from Microsoft website. The platform sdk is required to ensure forward compatibility with future releases of MS operating systems (for example the IA64). More importantly, it is required because there is a flaw in Microsoft headers that ship with Visual C++ 6.0. The problem is that Visual C++ defines INT_PTR to 'long' when it is supposed to be defined as an 'int' (on ia32 platforms). You can either use a supported build environment by updating to the platform SDK, or you can use the unsupported environment by manually fixing the problem in the header "On or around line 123 of include\basetsd.h change:
    typedef long INT_PTR, *PINT_PTR; typedef unsigned long UINT_PTR, *PUINT_PTR; to
    typedef int INT_PTR, *PINT_PTR; typedef unsigned int UINT_PTR, *PUINT_PTR;
