Ok, so im just out of practice and prob missing something obvious but a model im adding to the game isnt effected by shade (like it stays light when no light source is on it. Like the alpha is covering the whole ship).

I export the SOD as A2 SOD.

The TGA files do have lightmaps saved as alphas.

Here are the settings:

Ambient - Black
Specular - White
Diffuse - White
Emissive - Black

Then the little sliders below those buttons are 1st fully left and 2nd fully right.

Material name: !phong_galor_!default

Any ideas what I am missing??

Also, for some reason my copy of Max5 wont work. Any1 know where I can get another?

Make sure you have a lightmap (alpha texture) added to the texture, otherwise you'll need to use the !noalpha tag instead of the !default. It's a pretty common error that even experienced modders like myself can do.
