Download Code File
Max2DTS 6/7 Source Code Readme
The source code files can be downloaded from the link above.
These files require the use of VC7 or later, the Torque Game Engine SDK, and the SDK for the version of Max which you would like to compile for.
Instructions:
The project files go in the VC7 folder.
The .cc and .h files go into Torque / Tools / max2dts exporter.
There is a file called "Helper.cpp" That file goes into the VC7 folder. This is required in order for VC7 to properly work with .cc files.
Last but not least you have to have a "maxsdk70" for MAX7 "maxsdk60" for 6 "maxsdk50" for 5 (if you want it 5).
Make sure you compile under the version library that you plan to use.
When you build the project, the release version of the exporter .dle will be compiled directly into the Max folder.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This resource is provided as-is and without any guarantee of functionality or support. Please download the pre-compiled version of this exporter from the Torque for Artists page unless you really need to create your own version of DTS format. This source code may only be redistributed to owners of the Torque Game Engine SDK.

Oops. Should work now. No idea why the upload didn't take before.

I'm already found and fix one bug in exporter :)
bug description: triggers (which used for footstep sounds - called footpuffs in player.cc) working incorrect when animation sequence begins with non zero frame.
bug details: when sequence begins with non zero frame (for example: with 12 frame), triggers positions calculated incorrectly. sequence start position is ignored in calculations of trigger position.
for example:
was:
seqDuration = seqEndTime - seqStartTime;
triggerPos = triggerTime/seqDuration;
must be:
seqDuration = seqEndTime - seqStartTime;
triggerPos = (triggerTime-seqStartTime)/seqDuration;
how to fix:
in file ShapeMimic.h
was:
void addTriggersInOrder(IKeyControl *, F32 duration, TSShape *, U32 & offTriggers);
change to:
void addTriggersInOrder(IKeyControl *, F32 seqStartTime, F32 duration, TSShape *, U32 & offTriggers);
in file ShapeMimic.cc
was:
addTriggersInOrder(kc,duration,pShape,offTriggers);
change to:
addTriggersInOrder(kc,start,duration,pShape,offTriggers);
was:
void ShapeMimic::addTriggersInOrder(IKeyControl * kc, F32 duration, TSShape * pShape, U32 & offTriggers)
change to:
void ShapeMimic::addTriggersInOrder(IKeyControl * kc, F32 seqStartTime, F32 duration, TSShape * pShape, U32 & offTriggers)
was (in fuction addTriggersInOrder):
F32 pos = TicksToSec(key.time) / duration;
change to:
F32 pos = (TicksToSec(key.time)-seqStartTime) / duration;

the first of all: big thanks to Alex Swanson and Matthew Jones! it is very useful to have sources of new exporter (max 6-7). now I and any Torque SDK Owner can fix bugs and improve functionality of exporter.I'm already found and fix one bug in exporter :)

Anyone know how a programmer can get a hold of the Max SDK (without buying Max?) Surely the SDK is available to programmers (who have no need for Max itself...) Can I just use the SDK from my artist? Or do I have to buy Max? Anyone know? Thanks
