Imma send you my research text file as anyway i'm not really going to do anything else with it anymore, and an old exe tool i got, i'm sure it will help you defining some of the unknown values.

For example, i think you didnt add(but i might've just not seen it) self-illumination percentage, self-illumination color and self-illumination texture, the backface culling option amd something else right now i just dont remember.

Anyway you'll see it by your own and eventually add stuff to your research

Any chance to make the scx v4 export plugin for newer versions of 3ds Max? 2015 or higher, for example. Because sometimes exporting from 3ds Max 2005 like pain in da butt.

illumination color

Illumination is there but if you can extend it surely more knowledge is always better.

v4 export plugin

Well the definition is there and can be used to make an exporter for someone familiar with the plugin architecture of 3dsmax (I would probably expect a blender plugin instead but who knows) I myself really doubt to be able to find the time to learn this (since not every aspect of the scx file format can be edited in 3dsmax, thinking about the flags of a material in particular, the plugin needs to define some custom modifier and/or material to properly set every property of the resulting scx)
Nevertheless I maintain that, although archaic, using 3dsmax5 and the original exporters are preventing a lot of issues exactly because of the limitations it holds the modder to, the avarege quality of mods is low enough with "only" needing to care to make the cfg, rpk, and java definitions without errors, if one would more easily be able to make bad meshes aswell whether because of a badly written exporter or simply because the limitations were stripped... I dont know, it seems to be a far too complicated system to integrate into already :/
