d360c4fadf fix for bug 4307, keyframe data was being written and that was buggy somewhere, so commented it out and it works ;)
Theres some other error that only happens when exporting fairly high poly meshes, but this problem is with the old exporter also.

Also added export for non mesh objects as meshes- text, metaballs etc and null material slots dont stop the script.

b817c78b0d Applied patch 4188 with some modifications.
https://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=4188&group_id=9&atid=127
* Sped up export of UV coords,
* Use Mesh instead of NMesh
* Use BPyMesh GetMeshFromObject so correct object materials are exported as well as modifiers applied.

444e4e36fe Commited 3ds export enhancements from Mark Stijnman (beowulff)
Will need to do some updates, Mesh over NMesh and optimize some areas but it works and is a big improvement.

Detailed description:
Modified the 3ds export script 3ds_export.py:
- It now exports face UV correctly. 3ds only supports one UV coordinate per vertex. The script now duplicates vertices that had multiple UV pairs assigned to them so that each duplicate now only contains one and only one UV. Faces have their vertex indices adjusted accordingly.
- Quads are now split into triangles better. 3ds only supports triangles, so quads need to be split into two triangles. Instead of rather arbitrarily splitting along the diagonal between points 0 and 2, the script now splits along the shortest diagonal. This creates a higher quality triangular mesh, as well as better preservation of symmetry.
- Now creates an object node block, exporting object nodes, needed by some 3D importers. Among others, allows one to export object hierarchy.
- Now exports Empties as 3ds Dummies.

To be able to add all of the above new features, the script has been mostly rewritten and strongly restructured.

Motivation for the rewrite was the desire to be able to use Blender to produce custom 3d cars for Trackmania:Sunrise (TM:S). Previously, the TM:S importer could not correctly handle the 3ds files from the Blender 3ds export script. With this version, one can export cars complete with UV textures, correct wheel placement and light placement. To my knowledge, this script would make Blender the first fully free 3d modeller that allows one to export 3ds models for TM:S (expect a tutorial soon). The ability to have proper UV coordinates exported into the 3ds file should also be very welcome to many.

b662fcb694 Scripts:
- added import and export scripts for 3ds and md2 (Quake 2) models
contributed by author Bob Holcomb. Thanks!
- updated ac3d importer to be more forgiving and exporter to get rid of
deprecated call.

More additions and possibly fixes to come.

Note: we're forming a group to take care of importers and exporters and
improve the situation as a whole in Blender. Discussions should happen
at the bf-scripts-dev mailing list:
http://projects.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-scripts-dev

Thanks Tom Musgrove (LetterRip) for helping a lot with scripts.
